  【讲解】

  文中的Miss World就是“世界小姐”的意思,“世界小姐”选美大赛,创办于1951年的英国南岸(South Bank),其宗旨是“促进世界和平友谊,树立杰出女性榜样”,与“环球小姐”选美大赛(Miss Universe)和“国际小姐”选美大赛(Miss International)并称为“世界三大选美盛事”。“选美比赛”可以表达为beauty pageant。

  第二段中的accolade是可数名词,意为“荣誉;赞扬;奖励”,如:The Nobel Prize has become the ultimate accolade in the sciences.(诺贝尔奖已成为科学界的最高荣誉。)
