摘要：Iarrived at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in downtown Washington, D. C. – headquarters of the 77th Annual Scripps National Spelling Bee – on the morning of June 2, 2004, just in time to catch Round Two of the competition. Amphora had asked me to attune my reportorial antennae to the classical reverberations of this event: the words of Greek and Roman provenance chosen to measure orthographical knowledge, and the students and teachers of the Latin and Greek languages participating as spellers, officials, and staff. And as the occasion literally demanded, I made a beeline for the press desk in order to obtain my 2004 Bee Week Guide, the official kit for members of the media.
