He was worried [1]that I had no longer become fun to train with [2]and that I was in danger of being left with only a world championship medal and no one [3]to share it with. [1]that引导宾语从句,作worried的宾语,可以省略。 [2]and连接两个that引导的宾语从句,作worried的宾语。 [3]不定式结构作定语,修饰no one。 I could have become④ angry or defensive⑤. Don’t they know [4]how hard it is to be at the top in sport? Don’t they know [5]what it takes to get there? However, deep down I knew elements⑥ [6]of what he was saying were right. I was always tired and every workout⑦ had a mental intensity⑧ [7]that seemed too much for most to handle⑨. I was pushing the limits and extremes⑩ beyond [8]what most thought were healthy. [4]宾语从句,画线部分作know的宾语;it作形式主语,不定式结构作真正的主语。 [5]what引导宾语从句,作know的宾语,在句型“It takes…to do sth.”中,what作takes的宾语。 [6]“of what…”介词短语作定语,修饰elements,what引导宾语从句,作of的宾语。 [7]that引导定语从句,修饰a mental intensity,引导词在从句中作主语。 [8]what引导宾语从句,作beyond的宾语。 These are the fears [9]I face as a professional athlete on a day-to-day basis. Who am I doing this for? How much is too much? Why am I doing this? How can I be so selfis? What are the sacrifice for? [9]定语从句,修饰fears,引导词被省略。 I think of countles birthday parties and nights out I have missed, [10]ruining a family holiday in France because of the endles search for a swimming pool to train in, almost missing my brother’s wedding because I was too busy [11]hirin a car in downtown Johannesburg and driving through the “no-go” areas in order to do a group ride with the local triathletes. The list is endless. [10]两个现在分词结构作状语;because引导原因状语从句。 [11]busy后两个动名词短语并列 破坏家庭度假、还放弃夜晚外出,但是放弃这么多是有非常充分的理由的。“我们很担心你,”坐在我对面的朋友说。他担心和我一起训练不再是一件愉悦的事情,担心我处于只剩下世界冠军的奖牌而无人可以分享的危险境地。 我本可以生气或者辩解一下的。难道他们不知道在体育运动中处于顶峰有多难吗?难道他们不知道走向顶峰需要付出多少吗?然而,在内心深处,我知道他说的有一些是对的。我总是疲惫不堪,每次锻炼带来的心理压力对于大多数人来说都难以应对。我把极限提升到了大多数人认为的健康范围之外。 这些是我作为职业运动员日常面临的恐惧。我这样做是为了谁?太多是多少?我为什么要这样做?我怎么能这么自私?这些牺牲是为了什么? 我想到了曾经错过的无数生日派对和本来可以外出狂欢的夜晚,因为一直寻找可以训练的游泳池,而破坏了一次去法国的全家旅行;为了和当地的铁人三项运动员一起骑行训练,我忙于在约翰内斯堡市中心租车,开车闯过“禁行”区,差点错过哥哥的婚礼。这样的事情不计其数 (续表) 词汇助读 课文 翻译助读 boil vi. & vt.(使)沸腾,煮沸 boil down to sth归结为;要点是 be born with…天生具有…… enormous adj.巨大的,庞大的 stay in待在家里 get ahead 获得成功,领先 length n.长度 rugby n.(英式)橄榄球 apply oneself to sth努力;专心致志于某事 apart adj. & adv.分开;散开 set sb/sth apart使与众不同 overdo v.做得过分 platform n.舞台;月台 be committed to…致力于…… injured adj.受伤的 outstanding adj.杰出的,优秀的 average adj.平庸的,普通的 n.平均水平;平均数 normal adj.正常的,平常的 strive for为……而努力 It boils down t this: I was born wit an enormou amount of drive and determination. From a small girl, I would stay i at lunch time just to get ahea on class work rather than go out and play; I would get the bus on my own at ten years old and go to swim 100 length of the pool while other kids played pool games; I was the only girl in a rugb club of 250 boys. I have always lived my life to extremes. Call it unhealthy [12]if you want, but that is the way I roll, no matter what it is I’m applying myself to. [12]if引导条件状语从句;定语从句I roll修饰the way,引导词被省略;no matter what 引导让步状语从句。 Being a professional athlete is no different. [13]If you want to be an Olympic champion, it’s all about that little extra thing you have done in your preparation that will set you apart from your competitors. [13]if引导条件状语从句;第一个定语从句修饰that little extra thing,引导词被省略;第二个that引导的定语从句修饰preparation,引导词在从句中作主语,不可省略。 Can this be overdon? Absolutely. But [14]if your dream is to be the best and reach the winner’s platform, you had better be totally committed t your sport. In the words of the British triathlete Alistair Brownlee, even if it means getting injure, “I’d prefer to have three or four outstandin years of winning stuff rather than have ten years of being averag.” [14]if引导条件状语从句;不定式结构作表语。 [15]Doing what we do as athletes sets us apart because we are willing to do that extra little bit that might take us to the top. It is certainly not a balanced way to live and it is certainly not norma but those words are generally not used for anyone [16]who is striving fo greatness. [15]动名词结构作主语;what引导宾语从句,作do的宾语;because引导原因状语从句;第二个that引导定语从句,修饰that extra little bit。 [16]who引导定语从句,修饰先行词anyone,引导词在从句中作主语 归根结底,我天生就是个特别有干劲儿和意志力的人。我还是个小女孩时,为了在课业上名列前茅,午餐时间我会留下来学习而不出去玩;十岁的时候,当别的孩子在泳池戏水时,我会自己乘公共汽车去游泳池游50个来回;橄榄球俱乐部里,有250个男孩,只有我一个女孩。生活中我一向把事情做到极致。你若说这是一种病态也行,但这就是我的做事风格,不管做什么我都会全力以赴。 成为一名职业运动员也不例外。如果你想成为奥运冠军,就要在训练中多付出那额外的一点点,它将使你从竞争者中脱颖而出。 这过分吗?当然。但如果你的梦想是成为最棒的并站上胜利者的奖台,你最好全身心地投入到运动项目中。用英国铁人三项运动员阿里斯泰尔·布朗利的话来说,即使这意味着受伤,“我宁愿有三到四年的胜利辉煌,而不选择十年的平庸无为。” 做运动员让我们与众不同,因为我们愿意做到那额外的一点点,这可能使我们走向顶峰。它当然不是一种平衡的生活方式,也肯定不寻常,但平衡、寻常这些词是不会用来形容追求伟大的人的 Step 1　Fast reading Read the passage quickly and fill in the chart.
