This Mar, the 90th annual National Spelling Bee will feature its youngest contestant in history, 5-year-old Edith Fuller of Oklahoma.
这个三月,第90届国家级(美国)拼写小蜜蜂比赛迎来了史上最年轻的冠军——来自俄克拉荷马州年仅5岁的参赛者艾迪思·福勒。
Edith qualified for the national competition when she won her regional competition on Saturday, beating more than 50 other elementary and middle school students.She correctly spelled 37 words, including “perestroika,” “nisei,” and her final winning word, “jnana.”Edith’s mom, Annie Fuller, told Tulsa World she only learned of her daughter’s spelling skills last summer, when she correctly spelled “restaurant” despite having never been taught how.
周六她在地区级比赛中胜出,打败了其他50名来自小学和初中的学生晋级到全国赛。她正确拼写出了37个单词,包括“perestroika(改革)”“nisei(第二代日裔美国人)”,她的最后取胜词为“jnana(思辨)”。安妮·福勒——艾迪斯的母亲告诉《塔赛尔世界报》,直到去年夏天,在没有事先教授的情况下,女儿能够正确拼写“餐馆”,她才发现女儿在拼词方面的天赋。
“We knew there was something special there,” Fuller said. After that, Edith and her mom began practicing for the bee, looking up words she misspelled along the way to learn their spellings and meanings.“Learning the words was so educational. She was able to learn about different countries and cultures and different kinds of food,” Fuller said.
