英文部分
Months after she graduated from the US Air Force Academy, Madison Marsh finds herself on a different assignment — competing for the Miss America title.
The 22-year-old Arkansas native was crowned Miss Colorado in May 2023, just before graduating from the US Air Force Academy (USAFA) and being commissioned as an Air Force Officer. She joined the branch as a 2nd lieutenant, while also pursuing her Master’s in Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School.
Now, she is among the 50 beauty queens vying for the Miss America title, which will be held in Florida on January 13 and 14. She will be the first active-duty Air Force officer to compete in the pageant.

從美國空軍學院畢業幾個月後,麥迪遜·馬什發現自己面臨著一個不同的任務——競爭美國小姐的頭銜。
這位22歲的阿肯色州原住民在2023年5月被加冕為科羅拉多小姐,這是在她從美國空軍學院畢業並被委任為空軍軍官之前。她忠誠地以第二尉的身份加入了該部門,同時還在哈佛甘迺迪學院攻讀公共政策碩士學位。
現在,她是競爭美國小姐頭銜的50位美女中的一員,該比賽將於1月13日和14日在佛羅里達州舉行。她將成為第一位在選美比賽中競爭的現役空軍軍官。
