Over a year passed before the first attemptwas made.On July 19th,1909,in the early morning,Hubert Latham took off from the French coast in his plane the "AntoinetteIV".He had travelled only seven miles across the Channel when his engine failed and he was forced to land on the sea.The "Antoinette"floated on the water until Latham was picked up by a ship.请翻译第一句.后面一句书上翻译：休伯特.莱瑟姆驾驶“安特瓦赖特4号”飞机从法国海岸起飞.in含有坐的意思.让人感觉不是他驾飞机,我觉得把in改为driving才让人一下子明白.travelled,water,picked up分别改为：flight,sea,rescrued.不知行不行.
