1、趣记录：美国教授跑马拉松织围巾难度：适中 作者：沪江英语 来源：每日邮报 评论：2 Most men cant knit and even more cant run a marathon. But David Babcock does both, at the same time.许多男人不会织毛线，更多的人不能跑马拉松。而大卫巴布科克两样都会，而且是同时完成。On19th Oct, the 41-year-old University of Central Missouri graphic design professor set a Guinness world record for l

3、in Kansas City, Babcocks goal was to beat Hewer by three feet but he ended up nearly doubling her with a scarf that measured 12 feet, 13.4 inches.在于堪萨斯州举办的比赛之前，巴布科克的目标是超过苏西的成绩大约3英尺，结果他织出了12英尺13.4英寸（约4米）的围巾，几乎是苏西织出围巾长度的两倍。It was his first time running a marathon and it took him 5 hours, 47 minutes an

5、合二为 一，并认为这会是“一个有趣的挑战” 。Over the years Mr Babcock has developed a system for how he knits while running.数年以来，巴布科克先生已经练就了织毛钱兼长跑的运动方法。To protect himself from possible injury he uses plastic needles and attaches a stopper at the end so the scarf doesnt fall off.为了预防可能出现的危险，他使用的是塑料编织针，而且在末端夹上了夹子，这样围巾就不会从
6、针上掉下来。Hes only fallen once while running and knitting, and that was early on when he wasnt paying attention to a pothole.他边织边跑的过程中只有一次跌倒了，那是他刚起跑不久，没有注意到地上有坑。He keeps yarn in a fanny pack and only uses acrylic materials since natural fibers absorb sweat.他把毛线装在腰包里，看起来有些滑稽，而且他只织腈纶毛线，因为这种天然材质更吸汗。Mr Babc
7、ock, like prior-record holder Ms Hewer, ran Saturdays race to benefit an Alzheimers disease foundation.苏西当时是要为阿尔茨海默病（俗称老年痴呆）研究机构募款，巴布科克这次尝试也是希望为阿尔茨海默协会募款。I think it will be great particularly for my kids to be able to say, “Dad did it. Dad broke a record.“ Hopefully that will lead them to their own proud moments, Mr Babcock said.巴布科克先生说， “我感觉非常棒，尤其想到我的孩子们可以说， 我爸爸做到了，他打破了世界纪录。 希望这件事能激励他们创造自己的荣耀时刻。 ”
