Cambridge Continues Dominance in Boat Race, Securing Victories in Men's and Women's Races

劍橋繼續在划船比賽中佔據主導地位，確保男子和女子比賽的勝利

In a resounding display of athleticism and strategic prowess, Cambridge University has once again emerged victorious in the prestigious Boat Race, claiming both the men's and women's titles in the 169th and 78th editions of the historic competition, respectively.

憑藉出色的運動能力和戰略實力，劍橋大學在這項享有盛譽的賽艇比賽中再次取得勝利，在第 169 屆和第 78 屆這項歷史性比賽中分別奪得男子和女子冠軍。

For the men's team, this triumph marks their fifth trophy in the past six years, continuing their remarkable dominance in the event. The women's team, meanwhile, has extended their winning streak to an unprecedented seven consecutive races.

對於男子隊來說，這次勝利標誌著他們在過去六年中第五次捧起獎杯，延續了他們在這項賽事中的非凡統治地位。同時，女隊將連勝紀錄擴大到史無前例的七連勝。

The races commenced under ideal weather conditions, with temperatures hovering in the mid-teens and a gentle breeze offering minimal resistance. However, the serene atmosphere belied the recent concerns over elevated levels of E. coli bacteria detected in the River Thames along the championship course.

比賽在理想的天氣條件下開始，氣溫徘徊在十幾度左右，微風徐徐，阻力最小。然而，寧靜的氣氛掩蓋了最近對錦標賽球場沿線泰晤士河中檢測到的大腸桿菌水平升高的擔憂。

As a precautionary measure, all crews were issued with comprehensive safety guidelines, including instructions to cover any abrasions with waterproof plasters and to avoid ingesting water from the river.

作為預防措施，所有船員都收到了全面的安全指南，包括用防水膏藥覆蓋任何擦傷並避免攝入河水的指示。

Oxford, who won both coin tosses, made contrasting choices for their starting positions. The women's crew opted for the Middlesex side of the course, while their male counterparts began their challenge from the Surrey station on the other side.

兩次擲硬幣都獲勝的牛津大學在起始位置上做出了截然不同的選擇。女子隊員選擇了球場的米德爾塞克斯一側，而男子隊員則從另一側的薩里站開始挑戰。

Despite being favored to win both races, Oxford faced stiff competition from Cambridge. In the men's race, Cambridge seized an early lead, but Oxford quickly drew level, thanks in part to the astute tactics of umpire Matthew Pinsent, a two-time Boat Race champion with Oxford.

儘管牛津大學有望贏得兩場比賽，但它仍面臨來自劍橋大學的激烈競爭。在男子組比賽中，劍橋隊一開始就取得了領先，但牛津隊很快就追平了比分，這在一定程度上要歸功於兩屆牛津賽艇比賽冠軍裁判馬修·平森特(Matthew Pinsent ) 的精明戰術。

As the boats approached Hammersmith Bridge, Cambridge managed to establish a narrow lead, which they gradually extended throughout the race. Despite Oxford's valiant efforts, Cambridge's superior rhythm and unwavering determination proved insurmountable.

當船隻接近哈默史密斯橋時，劍橋隊成功建立了微弱的領先優勢，並在整個比賽中逐漸擴大領先優勢。儘管牛津大學做出了勇敢的努力，但劍橋大學卓越的節奏和堅定不移的決心被證明是不可逾越的。

The women's race followed a similar pattern, with Cambridge taking control early on and gradually building their advantage. Oxford, despite fielding a crew with only one returning member from last year's losing team, mounted a spirited challenge, but ultimately fell short of Cambridge's relentless pursuit of victory.

女子組比賽也遵循類似的模式，劍橋大學很早就佔據了主導地位，並逐漸建立了優勢。儘管牛津隊派出的隊員中只有一名去年失利球隊的回歸隊員，但他們發起了激烈的挑戰，但最終還是未能追上劍橋隊對勝利的不懈追求。

In a poignant moment during the men's race, stroke Matt Edge visibly struggled, with his oar barely dipping into the water. However, Edge's unwavering spirit and the unwavering support of his teammates allowed Cambridge to maintain their lead and ultimately secure another triumph.

在男子組比賽的一個令人心酸的時刻，馬特·埃奇（Matt Edge）明顯掙扎，他的槳幾乎沒有浸入水中。然而，埃奇堅定不移的精神和隊友堅定不移的支持讓劍橋保持了領先優勢，並最終取得了另一場勝利。

The Cambridge victories were met with jubilation and thunderous applause from the thousands of spectators who lined the banks of the Thames, witnessing the culmination of months of intense training and dedication. The success of Cambridge serves as a testament to the university's commitment to athletic excellence and the enduring legacy of the Boat Race as a symbol of British sporting prowess.

劍橋大學的勝利引起了泰晤士河畔數千名觀眾的歡呼和雷鳴般的掌聲，見證了數月的緊張訓練和奉獻精神的頂峰。劍橋大學的成功證明了該大學對卓越體育運動的承諾以及作為英國體育實力像徵的划船比賽的不朽遺產。
