摘要：Iarrived at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in
downtown Washington, D. C. –
headquarters of the 77th Annual
Scripps National Spelling Bee – on the
morning of June 2, 2004, just in time to
catch Round Two of the competition.
Amphora had asked me to attune my
reportorial antennae to the classical
reverberations of this event: the words
of Greek and Roman provenance chosen
to measure orthographical knowledge,
and the students and teachers of
the Latin and Greek languages participating
as spellers, officials, and staff.
And as the occasion literally demanded,
I made a beeline for the press desk in
order to obtain my 2004 Bee Week Guide,
the official kit for members of the
media.
