GETTING TO THE TOP
Why do Olympic athletes push themselves to the limits①？As one of the Olympic athletes，I miss birthday parties，ruin family holidays② and skip nights out③，but there is a very good reason for giving up so much．(1) “We're worried about④ you，” said my friend from across the table．He was worried that I had no longer⑤ become fun to train with and that I was in danger of⑥ being left with only a world championship medal⑦ and no one to share it with⑧．(2)
(1)but表示轉折關系，連接兩個分句。
(2)第一個and連接兩個that引導的賓語從句。
I could have become angry or defensive⑨．Don't they know how hard it is to be at the top in sport (3)？Don't they know what it takes to get there (4)？However，deep down⑩ I knew elements of what he was saying were right (5)．I was always tired and every workout had a mental intensity that seemed too much for most to handle．(6) I was pushing the limits and extremes beyond what most thought were healthy (7)．
(3)how引導賓語從句。
(4)what引導賓語從句。
(5)該句為省略that的賓語從句，其中what he was saying作介詞of的賓語。
(6)and表示順承關系，連接兩個分句，第二個分句中that．．．to handle為定語從句，修飾先行詞a mental intensity。
(7)what引導賓語從句。
These are the fears I face as a professional athlete on a day-to-day basis (8)．Who am I doing this for？How much is too much？Why am I doing this？How can I be so selfish ？What are the sacrifices for
(8)該句為省略關系代詞that的定語從句，修飾先行詞fears。
I think of countless birthday parties and nights out I have missed，ruining a family holiday in France because of the endless search for a swimming pool to train in，almost missing my brother's wedding because I was too busy hiring a car in downtown Johannesburg and driving through the “no-go” areas in order to do a group ride with the local triathletes ．(9)The list is endless．
(9)I have missed為定語從句，修飾先行詞birthday parties and nights out；because引導原因狀語從句。
It boils down to this：I was born with an enormous amount of drive and determination．From a small girl，I would stay in at lunch time just to get ahead 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 lengths of the pool while other kids played pool games (10)；I was the only girl in a rugby club of 250 boys．I have always lived my life to extremes．Call it unhealthy if you want，but that is the way I roll，no matter what it is I'm applying myself to ．(11)
(10)while表示對比關系，連接兩個分句。
(11)句中if you want為條件狀語從句；I roll為定語從句，修飾先行詞the way；no matter what引導讓步狀語從句。
Being a professional athlete is no different ．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．(12)
(12)If引導條件狀語從句；it's．．．that．．．強調主語；you have done in your preparation為定語從句，修飾先行詞that little extra thing。
Can this be overdone？Absolutely．But if your dream is to be the best and reach the winner's platform (13)，you had better be totally committed to your sport．In the words of the British triathlete Alistair Brownlee，even if it means getting injured (14)，“I'd prefer to have three or four outstanding years of winning stuff rather than have ten years of being average ．”
(13)if引導條件狀語從句。
(14)even if引導讓步狀語從句。
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．(15) It is certainly not a balanced way to live and it is certainly not normal but those words are generally not used for anyone who is striving for greatness (16)．
(15)what we do as athletes為賓語從句；because引導原因狀語從句，其中that might take us to the top為定語從句，修飾先行詞that extra little bit。
(16)who引導定語從句，修飾先行詞anyone。，起進行團體騎行。這樣的例子不勝枚舉。
登上巔峰
為什么奧林匹克運動員要將自己逼到極限呢？作為一名奧林匹克運動員，我錯過生日聚會，破壞家庭假日，晚上不出去玩，但有一個很好的理由放棄這么多。“我們很擔心你。”坐在桌子對面的朋友說。他擔心和我一起訓練不再是一件愉悅的事情，擔心我處于只剩下一塊世界冠軍獎牌而無人可以分享的危險境地。
我可能會變得憤怒或戒備。難道他們不知道要成為體育界的領軍人物有多難嗎？難道他們不知道達到這一目標需要什么嗎？然而，在內心深處，我知道他說的有些東西是對的。我總是很累，每次訓練都在精神上高度集中，似乎對大多數人來說都難以承受。我在挑戰極限，超越了大多數人認為的健康極限。
作為一名職業運動員，我每天都要面對這些恐懼。我這么做是為了誰？多少才算太多呢？我為何這么做？我怎么能這么自私？這些犧牲是為了什么？
我想起我錯過的無數的生日聚會和深夜外出；因為無休止地尋找一個訓練的游泳池而破壞的在法國的家庭假日；幾乎錯過我哥哥的婚禮，因為我在約翰內斯堡市中心忙著租車，且開車穿過“禁入”區以便和當地的鐵人三項運動員一
歸根結底：我天生就是個特別有干勁和意志力的人。從小女孩時期起，我就常常在午飯時間待在家里，只是為了在功課上領先，而不是出去玩；我在十歲的時候會自己坐公交車去游泳池游50個來回，而其他的孩子在泳池玩游戲；在一個有250名男生的橄欖球俱樂部里，我是唯一的女生。生活中我一向把事情做到極致。你若說這是一種病態也行，但這就是我的做事風格，不管做什么我都會全力以赴。
成為一名職業運動員沒有什么不同。如果你想成為奧運冠軍，就要在訓練中多付出那額外的一點點，它將使你從競爭者中脫穎而出。
這樣會不會太過了？絕對的。但如果你的夢想是成為最好的，并到達勝利者的平臺，你最好是完全致力于你的運動。用英國鐵人三項運動員阿利斯特爾·布朗利的話來說，即使意味著受傷，“我寧愿有三到四年出色的獲勝經歷，也不愿有十年平庸的經歷。”
作為運動員，我們所做的事情使我們與眾不同，因為我們愿意多做一點，這可能會讓我們達到頂峰。這當然不是一種平衡的生活方式，當然也確實不正常，但這些話一般不用于任何一個追求偉大的人。

成為一名職業運動員沒有什么不同。如果你想成為奧運冠軍，就要在訓練中多付出那額外的一點點，它將使你從競爭者中脫穎而出。
這樣會不會太過了？絕對的。但如果你的夢想是成為最好的，并到達勝利者的平臺，你最好是完全致力于你的運動。用英國鐵人三項運動員阿利斯特爾·布朗利的話來說，即使意味著受傷，“我寧愿有三到四年出色的獲勝經歷，也不愿有十年平庸的經歷。”
作為運動員，我們所做的事情使我們與眾不同，因為我們愿意多做一點，這可能會讓我們達到頂峰。這當然不是一種平衡的生活方式，當然也確實不正常，但這些話一般不用于任何一個追求偉大的人。
謝 謝！
