The greatest results in life are usually attained by simple means, and the exercise of ordinary qualities. The common life of every day, with its cares, necessities, and duties, affords ample opportunity for acquiring experience of the best kind. They who are the most persistent, and work in the truest spirit, will usually be the most successful.
人生大的成就通常是靠簡單的方法和運(yùn)用一般的才干獲得的。普通的日常生活以及其中的憂慮、各種不可避免之事和種種職責(zé)提供了取得好經(jīng)驗(yàn)的很多機(jī)會。那些堅(jiān)毅而又誠摯地工作的人常常是成功的人。
Many sports were imported from other countries. European immigrants brought tennis, golf, bowling and boxing to America. Football and baseball came from other Old World games. Only basketball has a truly American origin. Even today some formerly "foreign" sports like soccer are gaining American fans. In 1994 the U.S. hosted the World Cup for the first time ever.
許多的運(yùn)動是從外國引進(jìn)來的。歐洲移民把網(wǎng)球、高爾夫、保齡球和拳擊帶進(jìn)了美國。橄欖球和棒球則源自其它的歐洲傳統(tǒng)比賽。只有籃球是真正源自美國本土。即使在今日，一些原本是外來的運(yùn)動例如英式足球也吸引了許多的美國運(yùn)動迷。在一九九四年，美國首次負(fù)責(zé)舉辦世界杯足球賽。

Not all Americans worship sports, but athletics are an important part of their culture. Throughout their school life, Americans learn to play many sports. All students take physical education classes in school. Many people also enjoy non-competitive activities like hiking, biking, horseback riding, camping or hunting. To communicate with American sports nuts, it helps if you can talk sports.
并非所有的美國人都崇拜運(yùn)動，但運(yùn)動的確是他們文化當(dāng)中極為重要的一部份。在他們的學(xué)校生活當(dāng)中，美國人學(xué)習(xí)許多運(yùn)動。所有的學(xué)生都必須在學(xué)校修體育課。許多人也喜歡從事一些非競爭性的活動像健行、騎單車、騎馬、露營或打獵。要和美國運(yùn)動迷溝通，好是能暢談運(yùn)動。
