被“悲惨”的女性:历史上参加奥运会的女性 (QI: Women in sports)

凭什么女性总是被各种“悲惨”呢？

Why females were depicted as "pathetic" ?

在 QI 节目中， 从现在的角度去看100年前， 很多平铺直叙， 完全像是在说笑话......

In QI (Quite Interesting), to view something from 100 years ago...the plain description is simply like you are telling jokes...

比如， 参加奥运会的女性被描述成...

For instance, women participants in Olympics used to be described as...

那么， 事实情况呢？当然， 女性可没有这么弱。

Then, what was in reality? For sure, women are not weak at all.

而且， 抗拒被男性“定义”的女性， 自己举办了自己的奥运会， 成就斐然。

Furthermore, women, defying to be defined by men, held their own Olympics with extraordinary achievements.

打破传统女性运动服饰的束缚， 也是女性果断参加Olympics的重要原因！

Being able to break the restrain of traditional sports wearing is the core reason for women's participating in Olympics.

简介：QI (Quite Interesting)

QI (Quite interesting, “趣味盎然”) 是一个英国喜剧智力竞赛电视节目. 这是我个人觉得最能体现英国人思维和语言精髓的节目。

QI (short for Quite Interesting) is a British comedy panel game quiz show for television.

答案是否正确，完全无所谓； 在回答这些稀奇古怪的问题时， 展现幽默，灵活， 风趣和智慧， 才是加分项。

Correct answers are not necessarily the goal. Responding to mostly obscure questions in a funny or interesting way, is what scores points.

总而言之， 要妙语连篇，处处有“梗”

In short, you are supposed to be Quite Interesting with punch lines and witty comments as many as possible.
