After the tears (and there were tears), texts and frantic thumb work, Kate Moore, 15 years old, came from behind to win the best-of-three finals round of LG's U.S. National Texting Championships Tuesday.
在经历了多次流泪、发短信和狂乱的手指活动后,15岁的美国女孩凯特.摩尔(Kate Moore)周二在LG全美发短信冠军赛(National Texting Championships)三局两胜的决赛中后来居上,一举夺得了冠军以及5万美元奖金。

After the tears (and there were tears), texts and frantic thumb work, Kate Moore, 15 years old, came from behind to win the best-of-three finals round of LG's U.S. National Texting Championships Tuesday.Ms. Moore, from Des Moines, Iowa, beat Morgan Dynda, 14 years old, for the $50,000 prize by being first to text an error-free modified chorus from 'Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.'
来自美国爱荷华州得梅因的摩尔击败了14岁的摩根.黛达(Morgan Dynda),率先在手机上正确无误地打出了由迪斯尼电影《南方之歌》歌曲“Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah”修改的一首歌的歌词。

Ms. Dynda was in New York for a second straight year to compete for the texting title, which began as a promotional campaign for LG's cellphones three years ago.
来自纽约的黛达是连续第二年角逐这项短信大赛。这项比赛开始于3年前LG手机在美国的一个促销活动。

'I'm just, like, completely stunned right now,' Ms. Moore said. 'You'd never think a girl from Iowa would win something this big in New York.' Minutes earlier, she had joked about buying Coach purses and 'a pony' if she won.
摩尔表示,我现在感觉自己完全惊呆了。你永远不会想像一个爱荷华州的女孩能在纽约赢得如此重大的赛事冠军。就在几分钟之前,她还开玩笑地说如果夺冠就会买Coach钱包和一匹小马。
