India's Marathon Boy|逆境造就小马拉松选手

[英语美文]

India may have a new record-breaker for marathon running-and he's only three-and-half-year-old. Budhia Singh of India may become the world's youngest and fastest marathon runner. In a day, Budhia can run for seven hours at a time for a distance of 30 miles. Budhia's coach says that he will be able to break the world record when he can run for more than 56 miles at a time. This amazing running boy has, unfortunately, came from a poor family. After his father died, his mother was unable to care for him, so Budhia was sold for 800 rupees (about $20). Fortunately, he was discovered, by his coach, Biranchi Das, and now receives good care at a youth hostel. Every day, Budhia wakes up at 5:00AM and runs until noon. He then takes a break for lunch and goes out to run again around 4:00PM. India is the second most populated country in the world, but few athletes from India ever win in the Olympics. Maybe Budhia will help to change that.



一项新的马拉松记录就要在印度诞生了!——破记录者年仅3岁半。出生于印度的布德希亚·辛格可能是世界上年纪最小但跑得最快的马拉松运动员。一天之内,布德希亚能连续7小时跑上30英里。他的教练说布德希亚一次连续跑56英里以上时,就可以破世界记录了!不幸的是,这个跑步怪才出生贫寒。父亲过世后,母亲无力抚养他,因此以800卢比(大约20美元)出售。幸运的是,教练比兰奇·达斯发现了他,现将他安置在青年招待所悉心关照!布德希亚每天凌晨5点起床后一直跑到中午,吃午餐时歇息一下,又出去跑到下午4点左右。印度是世界上人口第二大国家,却少有运动员在奥运会中夺冠。也许布德希亚会改写这一历史!
