外电报道如下:

The 2004 Miss World pageant got off to a sizzling start on Sunday with contestants from 120 countries.

The event started with the Beach Beauty final in which Miss United States, Nancy Randall, took the coveted laurels, fast-tracking her to the finals.

The girls paraded on the white sand in the Beach Beauty Final, which was held in Sanya, a picturesque tropical city in southern Chinese province of Hainan.

Laurel表示“月桂树,桂冠,殊荣”,例如:gain/reap/win one's laurels(赢得声望,获得冠军);look to one's laurels(小心保持桂冠,警惕竞争对手);rest/retire/repose on one's laurels(安于小成,吃老本,满足既得的荣誉)。

据悉,自1951年世界小姐组织机构成立以来,由其组织的"有目的的美丽"慈善活动已经为儿童慈善事业筹集了超过2.5亿美元。
