The One-Two Punch

令人熱血沸騰的拳擊運動

Boxers of all colors and countries have made names for themselves in the ring. Men have not had all the glory in boxing,however. Women have shone in the sport as well. The first boxing events for women were in the 1720s. The fights had basically no rules and ended with severe injuries. Women's boxing wasn't recognized and legal in many places until the 1970s. Before then, it was seen as entertainment instead of a sport. Barbara Buttrick was one of the first and most famous female boxers. She was known for her mean attitude and fought anyone brave enough to challenge her. Buttrick proved that women also have what it takes in one of the roughest sports of all—boxing.

中譯

不同國家、不同人種的拳擊手們各自在拳擊場上努力奮鬥而名留青史。然而，在拳擊場上大放異彩的可不只有男人而已。女人也開始在場上發光發熱。第一場女子拳擊賽始於1720年代。這些比賽基本上都沒甚麼規則，而且往往會使選手受到嚴重的傷害。1970年代以前，女子拳擊在許多地方仍是不被承認且不合法的運動。在那之前，人們多半視拳擊為一項娛樂，而不把它當成一項運動來看待。芭芭拉•巴翠克是第一位、同時也是最有名的女性拳擊手。她最出名的就是她惡劣的態度，以及迎戰任何勇於向她挑戰的對手。巴翠克證明了，在拳擊這項最強悍的運動之中，女人同樣也具備了該有的條件。
