選自瘋狂英語(yǔ)故事會(huì)中一篇?jiǎng)?lì)志故事。作者通過(guò)講述自己在參加橄欖球訓(xùn)練營(yíng)時(shí)因?yàn)橛?xùn)練艱苦曾經(jīng)一度想退出卻最終堅(jiān)持了下來(lái)并且取得驕人成績(jī)的故事，告訴大家不要輕言放棄。
Sometimes when I'm overcommitted or totally stressed out with life, I still have to pull out of certain activities. But I no longer have the same knee-jerk response of wanting to quit simply because I'm uncomfortable. And though I never came to know the glory of a winning touchdown, I now know how great it feels to stick with something and see it all the way through to the end.
有時(shí)，當(dāng)我為生活過(guò)度疲勞或者心力交瘁時(shí)，我仍然不得不退出某些活動(dòng)。但我不再僅僅因?yàn)椴皇娣a(chǎn)生同樣下意識(shí)的反應(yīng)——即想要立刻放棄。并且，雖然我未曾感受過(guò)贏取觸地得分球的榮耀，我卻懂得了堅(jiān)持一件事并將其進(jìn)行到底是多么偉大。
