I certainly wouldn't get far on the five and six dollars a week I could make writing about bowling tournaments and Soap Box Derby races for the Enterprise.

只靠帮《周刊》写写保龄球比赛、肥皂箱赛车——SoapboxDerby：肥皂箱赛车，是美国流行的一种无驱动赛车游戏，完全靠重力推进——报道，每星期赚那五六块钱显然不够上大学用。

So, in 1934, in the city of Dayton, there was the first All-American Soap Box Derby.

因此，1934 年，在代顿市，举办了第一场全美肥皂盒大赛。

Soon, newspapers in other cities learned about this story, and they started sponsoring their own soap box derbies.

很快， 其他城市的报纸都知道了这个故事，纷纷开始赞助自己的肥皂盒德比。

In fact, in 1975, Karen Stead became the first girl to win the All-American Soap Box Derby.

事实上， 在 1975 年，Karen Stead 成为第一个赢得全美肥皂盒德比大赛的女孩。

In the year 2012, for example, there were more than 500 children who competed in the soap box derby.

例如， 在2012年，有超过500名儿童参加了肥皂盒比赛。

This brought even more attention to the concept of a soap box derby, and so it was decided, in 1936, that the derby should have its own place, its own location.

这让人们更加关注肥皂盒德比的概念，因此在 1936 年决定， 德比应该有自己的位置， 有自己的位置。

I have to mention that when I was growing up in the 1970s, we didn't have a soap box derby, but we did have something called the " pinewood derby."

我不得不提一下， 当我在 70 年代长大时，我们没有肥皂盒德比， 但我们确实有一种叫做“松木德比” 的东西。
