加州14岁少年谢雷·帕里克赢得2026年全美拼字大赛冠军Shrey Parikh Wins 2026 Scripps National Spelling Bee in Dramatic Spell-Off
在华盛顿特区宪法大厅举行的第98届斯克里普斯全美拼字大赛中，来自加利福尼亚州库卡蒙格牧场的14岁少年谢雷·帕里克（Shrey Parikh）经过三天的激烈角逐，最终在周四晚间的“拼字加时赛”中脱颖而出，荣膺冠军。帕里克在决赛中面对来自新泽西州泽西市的12岁选手伊尚·古普塔（Ishaan Gupta），两人在常规赛中难分伯仲，最终被迫进入限时90秒的快速拼字对决。帕里克在加时赛中表现神勇，准确拼出了32个单词，刷新了该环节的纪录，而古普塔则拼出了25个单词。这场胜利不仅为帕里克带来了标志性的奖杯，还让他获得了5.2万美元（约合3.9万英镑）的现金奖励。作为一项拥有101年历史的全国性赛事，今年的比赛吸引了248名年龄在9岁至15岁之间的选手参加。斯克里普斯公司总裁兼首席执行官亚当·西姆森在颁奖典礼上亲自为帕里克颁发了奖杯。这场胜利对帕里克而言意义非凡，因为这是他第三次参加全美拼字大赛，也是他最后一次参赛机会。他此前曾在2024年获得第三名，但在2025年却意外未能进入决赛圈，今年的夺冠可谓是圆满收官。
Shrey Parikh, a 14-year-old eighth-grader from Rancho Cucamonga, California, emerged as the champion of the 2026 Scripps National Spelling Bee on Thursday night following a high-stakes "spell-off" at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. After three days of intense competition and 18 regular rounds, Parikh faced off against 12-year-old Ishaan Gupta of Jersey City, New Jersey, in a rapid-fire 90-second tiebreaker. Parikh set a new benchmark by correctly spelling 32 words during the allotted time, surpassing Gupta's 25 words to secure the prestigious trophy and a $52,000 (£39,000) cash prize. The victory marks a triumphant conclusion for Parikh, who was competing in his final year of eligibility. Having previously finished third in 2024 but shockingly missing the finals in 2025, the California teen demonstrated remarkable resilience and vocabulary mastery. E.W. Scripps Company president and CEO Adam Symson presented the trophy to Parikh, celebrating the 101st year of this iconic American academic tradition which featured 248 competitors aged nine to 15.
01决胜时刻：创纪录的加时赛The Decisive Moment: A Record-Breaking Spell-Off
当比赛进入最后阶段，帕里克和古普塔成为场上仅剩的两名选手。由于常规轮次无法决出胜负，裁判启用了自2021年引入的“拼字加时赛”（Spell-off）机制。这是该赛事历史上第三次通过这种方式决定冠军归属。在加时赛中，每位选手都有90秒的时间尽可能多地拼写出单词列表中的词汇。帕里克最终拼出的单词“bromocriptine”（溴隐亭）为他的胜利画上了句号，这是一种模仿多巴胺活性的多肽生物碱。
As the competition reached its climax, Parikh and Gupta were the last two spellers standing. With the regular rounds failing to produce a single winner, officials triggered the "spell-off" mechanism, a rapid-fire format introduced in 2021 to prevent indefinite deadlocks. This marked only the third time in the competition's history that a spell-off was required. During the 90-second sprint, Parikh successfully navigated complex terms, including his final winning word "bromocriptine," defined as a polypeptide alkaloid derivative of ergot that mimics dopamine activity.
| 选手 | 年龄 | 加时赛得分 |
|---|---|---|
| 谢雷·帕里克 | 14岁 | 32词 |
| 伊尚·古普塔 | 12岁 | 25词 |
| Speller | Age | Spell-Off Score |
|---|---|---|
| Shrey Parikh | 14 | 32 words |
| Ishaan Gupta | 12 | 25 words |
02夺冠之路：从失利到巅峰Path to Victory: From Setback to Success
帕里克的夺冠之路并非一帆风顺。作为一名经验丰富的选手，他在2024年曾获得全美第三名的佳绩，当时已被视为夺冠热门。然而，在2025年的比赛中，他却遭遇了滑铁卢，未能进入决赛。今年是他最后一次参赛机会，他展现出了极强的心理素质和扎实的词汇功底，在18轮常规赛中保持零失误。这种从低谷重回巅峰的历程，让现场观众和评委都为之动容。
Parikh's journey to the podium was marked by both high achievement and unexpected setbacks. A seasoned competitor, he previously secured a third-place finish in 2024, establishing himself as a top contender. However, his 2025 campaign ended in disappointment when he shockingly missed the cut for the finals. Returning for his final year of eligibility, Parikh demonstrated immense mental fortitude, surviving 18 grueling regular rounds without a single error before entering the record-breaking speed round that ultimately secured his legacy.
“这是谢雷第三次参加大型拼字比赛，也是他最后一年符合参赛资格。”
“It was Shrey’s third time at the big bee and his final year of eligibility.”
