Camille Schrier, a student at Virginia Commonwealth who advocates for drug safety, was crowned Miss America 2020. She gave a chemistry demonstration on hydrogen peroxide during the talent competition as the other four finalists performed jazz dances, twirled batons and sang songs.

在維吉尼亞聯邦大學主修藥品安全的卡蜜兒席瑞爾拿下2020美國小姐后冠。她在才藝表演比賽中呈現化學實驗「大象牙膏」,而其他進入決賽的參賽者則是表演爵士舞、舞動指揮棒及唱歌。

The new Miss America told the crowd during introductions that she plans to get a doctor of pharmacy degree at VCU. She has undergraduate degrees in biochemistry and systems biology from Virginia Tech. She said her goals as Miss America would be to promote medication safety and to prevent drug abuse.

這位新科美國小姐向大家表示,她計畫在維吉尼亞聯邦大學攻讀藥學博士,她已在維吉尼亞理工大取得生物化學及系統生物學學位。席瑞爾表示,成為美國小姐後,她的目標是推廣用藥安全,避免藥品濫用。

Last year, the Miss America competition announced it would stop judging women on their outward appearance and scrapped its highly criticized swimsuit competition. Now, the organization says, contestants have more time to advocate for their social impact initiatives and have their voices be heard.

美國小姐比賽方於去年宣布停止以外表評斷女性選手,且取消備受批評的泳衣比賽橋段。該機構表示,參賽者有更多時間經營各自的社交影響力,讓自己的聲音被聽到。
