Thirty babies showed off their crawling skills during Nautica’s third annual diaper derby.
在第三届诺蒂卡的年度尿布德比比赛中,三十位婴儿展示了他们的爬行技能。
The toddlers crawled across a 10-foot long mat as excited adults coached from the sidelines.
刚学步的小孩们在一块10英尺长的垫子上爬行,而兴奋的父母们在一旁指导。
Some of the parent’s strategies included stuffed animals, food and toys. The winning baby, Trent Miele, was coaxed across the finish line with a baseball.
一些家长的战略包括毛绒动物、食品和玩具。赢家宝宝─特伦特美诺─是被棒球哄着跨越终点线。
[Mary, Mother of Winning Toddler]:
“He’s very interested in baseball so anything to do with them, he’ll go for them, run for them across the room."
获奖婴儿的妈妈玛瑞说:“他对棒球非常感兴趣,所以任何和棒球有关的事,他都会去做,他会在房间里追着棒球跑。”
Nine-month-old Trent started crawling when he was just 6 and a half months old.
九个月大的特伦特,在他只有六个半月的时候,就开始爬行。
While Trent snagged the largest prize, none of the babies went home empty handed–each received a smaller trophy for their efforts.
当特伦特出乎意外的拿到大奖,但没有一个婴儿两手空空,每一位婴儿为他们的努力付出都拿到了小小的奖杯。
The race was held to celebrate the Nautica New York City Triathlon which will be held on Sunday, August 7.
这次比赛是为庆祝八月七日,就是周日即将举行的诺蒂卡纽约市三项运动赛。
