 Inspired by his great-grand father's repeated escapes from an Indigenous boarding school, Ku Stevens, 18, retraced the route. Then he set his sights on winning a Nevada state title.- indigenous /ɪnˈdɪdʒ.ə.nəs/

A pair of straggling spectators crossed his path, and he swerved to avoid them, nearly losing his balance, and he ran on.-straggle/ˈ stræ ɡ. ll/버릇없이 자란다[확산]-swerve방향을 바꾸었다[ 걸]/swvv/

Winning would honor his tribe and his forebears, especially his great-grandfather and others like him, who endured brutal treatment at federal and church-run boarding schools and the often violent efforts to strip Native Americans of their language, religious beliefs and all other vestiges of their culture.- vestige 자취, 흔적 /ˈves.tɪdʒ/

Corporal punishment and solitary confinement were common. As with many of the Native American boarding schools, a cemetery sat nearby. Its graves are said to hold the remains of students who died at the school.- corporal /ˈkɔːr.pɚ.əl/ punishment : Corporal punishment is a discipline method in which a supervising adult deliberately inflicts pain upon a child in response to a child's unacceptable behavior and/or inappropriate language.

How he ran, using a keen memory of the topography, and somehow navigated his way home, a trip of 50 miles.- topography /təˈpɑː.ɡrə.fi/

"I owe him everything," said Stevens, whose family hews closely to Paiute traditions. A canvas-covered sweat lodge, used for ceremonies to mark the seasons, sits in the family's backyard. They farm alfalfa on the same land that has been a home to the tribe for centuries.- hew /hjuː/ (도구를 써서 큰 것을) 자르다- logde /lɑːdʒ/- alfalfa 알팔파, 자주개자리 /ˌælˈfæl.fə/

He woke often before dawn and headed into the countryside, where he padded up rocky mining roads to hillside peaks overlooking the reservation.-pad up에 속을 넣다,<옷 등에>솜을 두다, 심을 넣다;...중첩

The night before, Stevens sat in his bedroom, lined with medals and first-place plaques.- plaque /plæk/ 명판

Then it was Stevens's turn. He stood at the starting line, thin and solitary next to the teams from other small schools. Wearing the same purple uniform he had worn since freshman year, he glanced at his parents and friends. His eyes tensed. He nervously fiddled with his black, shoulder-length hair, which was swept into a ponytail.

Pain arced across his body, but he sprinted forward, grimacing, head tilted back. Finally, he crossed the finish line. Crumpling to the grass, he heard the public address announcer call out his time: 16 minutes, 28 seconds. One second faster than Carlin.- grimace 얼굴을 찡그리다 /ˈɡrɪm.əs/

Ku Stevens was a state champion, and the fastest high school cross-country runner in all of Nevada. Standing before the crowd to receive his gold medal, he draped himself in the flag of the Yerington Paiute tribe.- drape (옷천 등을 느슨하게) 걸치다[씌우다] /dreɪp/
