2. Run in the Boston Marathon

　　不准参加波士顿马拉松

　　Up until 1972, women were barred from running in the Boston Marathon. Roberta Gibb wasn’t about to wait, though. In 1966 she insisted on running uninvited and unregistered. The next year, a woman named Katherine Switzer signed up as “K.V. Switzer” and was issued a number. She was greeted by a number of angry men, including Jock Semple, a race official who chased her, tried to rip off her number and (unsuccessfully) attempted to bully her off the track.

　　1972年以前，女性被禁止参加波士顿马拉松。1966年，Roberta Gibb坚持在未获邀约、未登记的情况下参加了长跑。第二年，一位名为Katherine Switzer的女性用“K.V.Switzer”之名进行登记，并获得了一个号码。许多男人对她表示愤怒，其中包括比赛的官方人员Jock Semple——他诅咒她，试图扯掉她的号码，企图恐吓她离开跑道。
