For many women high-heeled shoes can make them both happy and rather painful. For anyone who's ever worn them, you'll know that even walking a long distance can be a struggle. So it's hard to imagine running a race in them. Well that's exactly what happened on Saturday in Ukraine.
對大多數女人來講，高跟鞋可以讓她們感到快樂，也可以讓她們感到痛苦。而對于那些曾經嘗試過高跟鞋的女人來說，穿著高跟鞋即使長距離步行都會是一場痛苦的體驗，對已這一點她們都是心知肚明。所以，真的是很難想象讓她們穿著高跟鞋賽跑是怎樣一種情景。然而，這正是周六發生在烏克蘭的一幕。
A 100-meter sprint with competitors in their finest heels. Close to 100 women braved sweltering temperatures to take part in the special race.
選手們腳蹬她們最愛的高跟鞋進行100米短跑。近100名選手冒著高溫天氣參加了這場獨具特色的比賽。
The rules stipulated that heels had to be no less than 9-centimeter tall for the sprint, with some competitors even stretching it to 15 cm. Pre-match tactics included using sticky tape on their shoes, along with the usual stretches.
比賽規定所有參賽選手的高跟鞋高度不低于9厘米，有些參賽者的鞋跟甚至高達15厘米。賽前準備工作包括用膠帶將鞋與腳粘在一起。
Although most are first-timers to this unique race, many seemed adept at running in high-heeled shoes.
盡管，大多數人是第一次參加該比賽，但很多人似乎對于穿著高跟鞋賽跑已然駕輕就熟。
The competition has been held in Kiev for many years, and the winner was rewarded with a car.
該比賽已經在基輔舉行了很多年，獲勝者將獲得汽車作為獎勵。
