（1）In a national spelling contest in America, an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her soft voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E. They talked it over and finally decided to simply ask her what she had said, By now, the girl knew she had misspelled the word. But instead of lying, she told the truth that she had said the wrong letter — so she lost the contest.
（2）As the girl walked off the stage, the entire audience stood to their feet clapping to applaud her honesty. Later, dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11-year-old girl’s honesty, even when it cost her the contest. But the fact is that she won the biggest contest that day: the contest of her character.
（3）Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is what we would do if we knew we would never get caught. This young girl could easily have lied and nobody would have known it but herself. But that’s just it: She would know she did wrong. It’s been said, “If you cheat, you make yourself cheap.” This young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own conscience and character more than the prize from a spelling contest. Her respect for herself was more important than any respect others might give her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the choice she made in that moment would have a long-lasting influence.
请标准翻译第（3）段，不要机器翻译的，谢谢
在一场美国国家拼写大赛上，一个11岁女孩被要求拼写一个指定的单词。但是由于她柔软的声音裁判没有听清她拼的单词里有A还是E。他们商讨并最终决定简单的问一下她说了什么。到目前为止这个女孩知道她拼错了这个单词。但是她并没有说谎，而是说出了她说错字母的真相。——所以她输掉了大赛。
当这个女孩走下舞台，全体观众站了起来并用掌声鼓励她的诚实。后来12个报纸记者写了关于这个女孩诚实，甚至牺牲了她的竞赛。但事实是她赢得了那天最大的竞赛：她人格的竞赛。
也许最大的竞赛是我们的品质，并且诚实是如果我们知道我们力所不能及时我们能做的。这个年轻的小女孩完全能够说谎并且没有人会知道除了她自己。但正是如此，她知道她做错了。俗语讲：如果你说谎，你将是你自己更加低贱。这个年轻的女孩子十分坚强并且比起拼写大赛，足够睿智去更多的奖赏自己的良心上和品质。她比起尊敬让自己也许能赢得比赛的人更加尊敬自己，她知道她将自己生活并且她那刻做的选择将影响她很久。
第三段语序上来讲比较乱，不过意思好理解。
望采纳。
