Quick: name a famous female scientist. If you said "Marie Curie," you're not alone. In fact, a lot of people can't think of a single other example. Well, England's Royal Society is fixing to rectify that. On Friday, October 19th, it's sponsoring a Wiki-editing marathon for articles about women in science.
快問快答：說出一位有名的女科學家的姓名。當然你的答案是“居里夫人”，會這么回答的不止你一個。事實上，許多人都想不出第二個女科學家的名字。然而，英國皇家學會正在努力修正這種現狀。10月19號星期五，他們資助維基長期撰寫關于女性科學家的文章。
Wikipedia is the go-to source for information on pretty much everything. But its coverage is a little light when it comes to the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and math. So the Royal Society is looking for volunteers with wi-fi and a bit of Wiki knowhow to create or enhance entries on female scientists.
維基百科是人們查找信息的重要來源，但涉及到女性在科學、技術、工程和數學方面取得的成就時，覆蓋面卻很低。因此皇家學會在尋求能 wi-fi上網，稍懂維基的志愿者，幫忙創建或者豐富有關女科學家的詞條。
Suggestions include Lilian Bland, the first woman to build and fly her own aircraft; Martha Ludwig, who helped solve the first protein crystal structure done in the US; and Barbara Crawford Johnson, the only woman to serve on the NASA team that engineered the moon landing.
推薦人物包括莉蓮·布蘭德，她是史上第一位建造并駕駛自己飛機的女性；還包括瑪莎·路德維希，她的主要成就是參與測定第一個蛋白晶體結構；還有芭芭拉·克勞福德·約翰遜，她是美航局月球著落工程團隊僅有的一位女性成員。
You can take part in the effort using Twitter. The hashtag is #WomenSciWP. That's women-S-C-I-W-P. So give Marie Curie a well-earned rest and help other women in science get the wiki-recognition they deserve.
你可以通過維基參與進來。維基的標簽是#WomenSciWP，即 women-S-C-I-W-P。讓居里夫人享受一下她應得的休息，讓其他的女科學家們獲得她們應得承認吧！
