这项比赛的名字来源于古希腊的一场战争。

故事是这样的，一位士兵从马拉松战场跑到雅典，就是为了带回希腊人战胜了波斯人的消息，他到达以后就死了。

The marathon has been an Olympic event since the modern games started in 1896⑩. At first ⑪the distance was 40 kilometres — the distance between Marathon and Athens. In 1908, however, at the London Olympics, it was changed. The King of England wanted the runnersto leave from his castle ⑫in Windsor and arrive in a new stadium in central London. The distance was 26 miles — about 42 kilometres. In fact, the 1908marathon ended dramatically ⑬. When the leader, an Italian, entered the stadium he turned the wrong way ⑭and fell onto the ground. Officials picked him up ⑮and helped him to the finishing line ⑯， just as the second runner, an American,entered the stadium.

[第2段译文] 自从1896年的现代奥运会以来，马拉松一直是奥运会的一个项目。

最初距离是40千米——马拉松和雅典之间的距离。

然而，在1908年的伦敦奥运会上，它的距离改变了。

英国国王想让运动员们从他在温莎的城堡出发到达伦敦市中心的一个新的体育场。

距离是26英里——大约42千米。

事实上，1908年马拉松比赛的结局很富有戏剧性。

当领先的那位运动员——一位意大利选手——跑进体育馆时，他转错了方向并摔倒在地上。

奥运会工作人员扶起他并帮他冲到了终点，这时，第二名赛跑者，一个美国人，也进入了体育馆。

美国人提出抗议，最终那位美国运动员被宣布为获胜者。

从那时起，就一直有很多更令人兴奋的马拉松比赛了。

In fact, you don't have to ○22 wait for the Olympic Games to run or watch a marathon, as there are marathons in over sixty countries and hundreds of cities around the world today ○23. One of the most famous marathons is in New York, and is watched by two million people around the streets and across the bridges of the city's five boroughs ○24， and past ○25 New York's famous landmarks ○26. But perhaps one ofthemostbeautifulandextraordinary ○27 marathons ever ○28 is the Great Wall Marathon, which most competitors ○29 find is the toughest ○30 course to run ○31. The marathon is the final Olympic event because it is thought to be the hardest ○32. But experts believe that most people — even people who are not particularly ○33 good at ○34 sport ○35 — can run a marathon, if they train ○36 for it. ○22don't have to 没有必要，相当于needn't 。

○23as 引导原因状语从句。

○29competitor /k əm'petIt ə/n .竞争者；对手 ○30tough /t ʌf/adj .费力的；棘手的；困难的 ○31which 引导非限制性定语从句，which 在从句中作主语。

○33particularly adv .特别，尤其 ○34be good at 擅长 ○35who 引导定语从句，修饰people 。

○36train v ．训练，train for 为……而训练[第3～4段译文] 事实上，你没有必要等到奥运会才去参加或观看马拉松，因为现在在全世界60多个国家和几百个城市里都有马拉松。

其中最著名的马拉松之一是在纽约，街道周围观看的人有两百万，比赛跨越了全市的5个区的桥，经过了纽约著名的标志性建筑物。

但是也许最精彩、最不同寻常的马拉松比赛之一还是在长城 举办 的马拉松比赛，它被大部分参赛者认为是最难跑的比赛。

马拉松是奥运会的最后一项赛事，因为它被认为是最难的项目。

但是专家们相信大部分人甚至那些不是特别擅长体育运动的人也可以参与此活动，如果他们为此而进行训练的话。
