第24單元 學(xué)來的一課
Tina loved to run. She began running at a very young age and always competed in a school cross-country races. Winning was very important to Tina; but even though she would train after school and on weekends, she always came in second or third place.
緹娜熱愛跑步，她很小就開始跑步，并且總是會參加學(xué)校全國性的賽跑。優(yōu)勝隊(duì)緹娜來說很重要，可是盡管她放學(xué)后還有周末都在訓(xùn)練，她還是只能拿到第二或者第三名。
The girl who always came in first was Janice. tina just couldn't get past her. Tina thought that if she could just get in front of Janice, she would have a chance to win. Finally, in one race, Tina got the break she wanted.
每次都是一個名叫珍妮絲的女孩拿第一，緹娜就是沒辦法超越她。緹娜認(rèn)為要是她能超越珍妮絲，她就有可能會贏。終于有次比賽，緹娜逮到她期盼已久的機(jī)會。
It began like usual, Janice was in the lead. Suddenly, Janice caught her foot on something and she tripped. Tina ran as fast as she could to stay in the lead, but Janice caught up and passed her. Tina stopped focusing on the race and 4 more girls passed her. She came in sixth place.
一開始和平常一樣，珍妮絲搖搖領(lǐng)先。突然之間，她好像鉤到什么東西而絆了一跤，緹娜盡她最大的努力快跑，保持領(lǐng)先，可是珍妮絲追了上來并超越她，緹娜無法專注比賽，而讓其他四個女孩超越她，她得到第六名。
Tht day Tina realized that "You couldn't rely on other people's misfortunes to get ahead in life." Only your own hard work and talents will take you to first place.
那一天，她了解到“人不能靠別人的不幸，讓自己的人生取得領(lǐng)先”，只有努力和天賦能讓你成為第一名。
