On 20 April 1936, Ellison Brown was running up a steep hill and entering a critical stretch of the Boston Marathon. He sprinted up the half-mile hill and began a neck-and-neck battle with the previous year's winner, Johnny Kelley.

1936 年 4 月 20 日，埃里森·布朗正冲上一道陡坡，此时已进入波士顿马拉松的关键赛段。他猛冲过这半英里的上坡路，随即与前一年冠军约翰尼·凯利展开了一场难分伯仲的激烈较量。

The spectators were stunned as they watched Brown cross the finish line first. Few watching had ever seen the fleet-footed 22-year-old, but soon his nickname would grace the front pages of newspapers across the country: "Tarzan" Brown.

目睹布朗率先冲过终点线，在场的观众无不愕然。观众席中几乎没人见过这位 22 岁的飞毛腿青年，但他的绰号“泰山”布朗很快就会登上全国各家报纸的头版。

Brown was a gifted athlete from childhood. Because of his love for running and his ability to swing from trees on a rope, Narragansett friends often compared him to the popular Edgar Rice Burroughs character, until the name "Tarzan" stuck.

布朗从小就是一位天赋异禀的运动员。由于热爱跑步，并且能够用绳子在树林间摇荡，他来自纳拉甘西特的朋友们经常将他比作埃德加·赖斯·巴勒斯笔下那个家喻户晓的角色，久而久之，“泰山”这个名字就深入人心了。

Brown's victory was one of the biggest upsets in Boston Marathon history. As one telling headline declared, he was: "Hailed as First 100 Percent American to Win Boston Marathon."

布朗的胜利是波士顿马拉松历史上最大的爆冷门之一。正如一则引人注目的头条新闻所宣称的那样，他被誉为“第一位赢得波士顿马拉松的百分之百美国人”。

Not only was Brown a champion runner, but he was also a champion of the Narragansett people, who had been "detribalised" by the state of Rhode Island in the 1880s.

布朗不仅是一位冠军跑者，更是纳拉甘西特人的捍卫者——他的部落在 19 世纪 80 年代曾遭到罗德岛州的“去部落化”对待。

Though he didn't live to see the federal recognition of the Narragansett Indian Tribe reinstated in 1983, his celebrity helped elevate the tribe's cause to the national stage. And now, 90 years after his famous victory, he's finally receiving tangible recognition.

虽然他没能活着看到纳拉甘西特印第安部落在 1983 年重新获得联邦政府的承认，但他的名声帮助将部落的事业推向了全国性的舞台。如今，在那场著名胜利的 90 年后，他终于获得了切实的认可。

At the Tomaquag Museum in Rhode Island, which celebrates all of New England's Indigenous communities, a cardboard cutout of the town's hometown hero stands nearly as tall as his real-life height.

罗德岛州的托马夸格博物馆致力于展示新英格兰地区所有原住民社区的历史文化。馆内立有一尊这位家乡英雄的真人比例纸板立牌，高度与他本人几乎一般无二。

A 3.5-mile walking path in Charlestown, Rhode Island's Carter Preserve, was also inaugurated as the Tarzan Brown Trail in 2023, and hikers today pass a plaque erected in his honour.

2023 年，罗德岛州查尔斯顿卡特保护区内一条 3.5 英里长的步道也被正式命名为“泰山布朗小径”。如今，徒步者行经此处，便能看见一块为他树立的纪念铭牌。
