馬拉松
26英里285碼對于跑步項目來說是個奇怪的距離。其他跑步項目大多是以偶數(shù)計算長度的。然而，馬拉松有著悠久的歷史，可以追溯到早期希臘奧林匹克運動會。
希臘人于公元前776年開始舉辦奧林匹克運動會以紀念宙斯。希臘各城市的運動員每四年聚集一次，在奧林匹亞舉行競賽，在這競賽的五天內(nèi)全國休戰(zhàn)。第一天有典禮、宴會和祭祀。早期的項目包括跑步、拳擊、摔跤、五項全能及各種馬術(shù)和戰(zhàn)車比賽。
公元前490年以后，奧林匹克運動會中又加設(shè)了一項特殊的長跑項目——馬拉松，以紀念一位希臘士兵傳奇性的壯舉。據(jù)說他從馬拉松平原跑到雅典，一共跑了22英里，1
470碼，為了帶回希臘戰(zhàn)勝波斯軍隊的勝利消息，在高喊出“歡呼吧！我們勝利了！”后，他倒在地上死了。
10 The Marathon
Twenty-six miles， 385 yards is rather odd distance for a foot
race．Most other running races are measured in lengths of even
numbers． The marathon，however，has an ancient history， going
back to the early Greek Olympics．
The Greeks started the Olympics in 776 B．C． to honour the god
Zeus． Every four years， they brought together athletes from
all the Greek cities． A nationwide truce was called for the
five days of competition held in Olympia．The first day was
devoted to ceremonies， banquets，and sacrifices．Early events
included running，boxing，wrestling，pentathlon，and various horse
and chariot races．
After 490 B．C．， a special long-distance race， the marathon，
was added to commemorate the legendary feat of a Greek
soldier． It was said that he ran from the Plain of Marathon to
Athens， a distance of 22 miles， 1470 yards， to bring the news
of the Greek victory over the Persian army． Upon exclaiming，
“Rejoice! We have won!” he collapsed and died．
