愛爾西亞吉布森 (Althea Gibson) 又贏了!195776

你有沒有在哪個領域裡拿過第一名呢?也許是某項運動的冠軍,或者在學校成績優異?在很久以前,莫妮卡‧莎莉絲 (Monica Seles) 、史戴菲‧葛拉芙 (Steffi Graf) ,或者是克利斯‧愛佛特 (Chris Evert) 都曾贏過英國溫布頓 (Wimbledon) 網球巡迴賽的女子單打冠軍。然而,對愛爾西亞‧吉布森來說,她不但在1957年7月6日贏得溫布頓的冠軍,同時她也是第一位贏得這項比賽冠軍的非裔美人 (男女選手中的第一位) 。不過,溫布頓冠軍只是吉布森取得許多「第一」的開始。


Have you ever been the first person to do something? Maybe in a sport or at school? Long before Monica Seles, Steffi Graf, or Chris Evert won the women's singles title at the Wimbledon tennis tournament in England, there was Althea Gibson. Gibson not only won the title on July 6, 1957, she was the first African American (male or female) to win a tennis championship at Wimbledon. The Wimbledon title was just the beginning of a long line of Gibson "firsts."
