猎犬追随参赛者脚步 轻松拿下半程马拉松第七名

发布时间:2016-01-27  编辑:查字典英语网小编

Runners in Alabama may have bitten off more competition than they anticipated in a race earlier this month.

本月的一场半程马拉松比赛中,参赛者遭到了一位不速之客的竞争。

A dog finished in the top ten in the Elkmont Half Marathon -- The Trackless Train Trek on January 16 and has become quite the Internet sensation.

1月16日,阿拉巴马州的埃尔克蒙特市举办了这场半程马拉松比赛。一只猎犬因在比赛中名列前十,一跃成为当之无愧的“网络红人”。

Ludivine, a bloodhound, lives nearby and after her owners let her out to relieve herself, she decided to join the race and ended up running the entire 13.1 miles.

这只名叫露德温的猎犬和她的主人就住在附近,主人放她出来方便时,她“心念一动”加入比赛,跑完了全程共13.1英里。

She competed without human or leash. "Her owner doesn't even run! That's what makes the story even better," race director Gretta Armstrong told CNN.

没人牵着露德温向前跑。此次比赛的策划人格里塔·阿姆斯特朗接受美国有线电视资讯网(CNN)采访时说道:“这只猎犬的主人连跑都没跑!这就使得这个故事更有意思了。”

April Hamlin, the pup's owner, told CNN she lives on a nearby farm and didn't know Ludivine joined the race until a friend called to tell her about her unsuspecting celebrity pet.

艾谱莉·哈姆林是这只汪星人的主人,她告诉CNN记者,自己住在附近的农场。朋友打电话告诉她这个消息前,她都被蒙在鼓里,浑然不知自己的宠物成了“明星狗”。

"Apparently she went to the race start and took off win the runners at the starting shot. She stayed with a few of the front runners, ran off to sniff some animal carcasses, romp in the water, and then back to the race. I understand she stayed on the course for 13.1 miles, finished seventh, and was the highest placed female," Hamlin told CNN.

哈姆林接受BBC采访时说:“显然,露德温溜达到了起点。发令枪响起后,它和其他参赛者一起跑了起来。刚开始它与几位领先的参赛者并列,但之后它就跑下赛道,一会儿嗅嗅动物残骸,一会儿去玩水,最后又回到了赛道上。我听说它跑完了13.1英里的赛程,拿下第七名,成为比赛中名次最高的雌性生物。”

Ludivine finished seventh out of 165 runners in just under an hour and a half. Although not counted as an official participant in the race, the athletic dog was presented with a well-earned medal.

本次比赛共有165人参加,露德温以不到1小时30分钟的成绩排名第七。尽管它不是正式报名的参赛者,但这只颇具运动员风范的猎犬还是被颁发了一枚奖章,也算是实至名归。

The course began in downtown Elkmont, Alabama, before winding through the rolling rural roads around the Alabama town, according to the race's website. Money raised from the race benefits the Elkmont High School cross country and track/field programs.

发布比赛消息的网站透露,本次比赛的起点在埃尔克蒙特市市区,赛道穿过埃尔克蒙特蜿蜒起伏的乡村公路。比赛募集的资金将捐给埃尔克蒙特高中,用于支持乡村田径运动项目。
