/ˌflɔːrəns ˈnaɪtɪŋɡeɪl/
- (1820-1910) an English nurse who became famous for her work during the Crimean War. In spite of a lot of opposition from army officials, she greatly improved the conditions of military hospitals and reduced the numbers of soldiers dying of disease. She used to walk round the hospital beds at night with her lamp, comforting the patients, and so became known as the 'Lady of the Lamp'. Later she ran a campaign to change the British hospital system and improve the training of nurses. In 1907, she became the first woman to receive the Order of Merit.
弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔（Florence Nightingale）：（1820-1910）一位英国护士，因在克里米亚战争中的工作而闻名。尽管遭到了陆军官员的反对，她还是大大改善了军事医院的条件，并减少了死于疾病的士兵人数。她过去常常晚上带着灯在医院的病床上走来走去，安慰患者，因此被称为“灯夫人”。后来，她发起了一场运动，以改变英国的医院系统并改善护士的培训。1907年，她成为首位获得勋章的妇女。
