Vivid Reading Lesson5 A Run for Women's Equality Resson3です
明日までに訳さないといけないので、急ではありますがどなたか宜しくお願い致します。
The women's 800-meter race began.
Hitomi ran fast.
She was in third place 200 meter from the goal.
Just then, something happened.
Another athlete bumped into Hitomi.
She began to fall behind.
Hoewver, she wouldn't be beaten.
She got her balance again and ran desperately.
In no time, she was running close behind Lina Radke from Germany, wha was leading the race.
Radke looked back and was surprised to find Hitomi close behind her.
She ran faster and Hitomi followed her.
They reached the goal one after the other.
Radke won the goal and Hitomi the silver.
The two were too exhausted to remain standing.
The New York Evening Post printed an article titled,
"A mistaken idea about Japanese women."
It said that nothing surprised them but Hitomi Kinue,
who had won a silver medal in the women's 800-meter race.
They said,
"We still think of Japanese women as beautifully dressed in kimono, and busy with
flower arrangements and tea ceremonies.
Hitomi Kinue changed out view of Japanese women.
We had had a wrong view of them."
