春季运动开始了，Lindsay选择了田径。美国快乐教学是有的，执拗坚毅的培养，所谓“狼性”，在运动队里在教练的严格要求下锻炼。
Hello my ximalaya friends! It has been a long time since the last episode. I had a bad cough and could barely talk for weeks. But now I am okay and here we are again. Together with me is Lindsay!
Hello, Ximalaya, this is Lindsay! Spring is here, and I started running Track. Track is offered as one of the many after school spring sport activities. It has lots of events such as hurdles, long jump ,where you try to jump as far out as you can on a pit of sand, high jump, where you have to jump over a bar onto a mat, shot putt, where you try to throw a heavy ball as far as you can, sprints, and long distance running. I started it to get in shape, and the spring sunshine and exercise regime has me sweating at every practice!
Track，田径运动。春季学校运动项目有很多，Lindsay选择了田径。田径的各项运动，英文是这样说的，Hurdles，跨栏；Long Jump，跳远；High Jump，跳高；Shot Putt, 推铅球，Sprint，短跑，Long Distance，长跑。Lindsay想Get in Shape，就是塑造一副好身材的意思了。How was it like so far?
The coach is very strict - very rarely is there a water break and we must go to the bathroom before practice, and if we have to go during practice, we’re not allowed to leave and go to the bathroom. You must participate in at least ten practices to go to a meet, and you can’t skip Track unless you have a very valid reason. If there’s another club you’re in, you can’t miss more than two days in a week. If you do, you’re off the team. Although he’s strict he’s not unreasonable.
这是一个相当严格的教练。美国中小学老师普遍说来都会偏向一种温和老好人鼓励型的师长形象，那么中国人说的那种狼性，严厉，经常是从体育运动各俱乐部教头身上来体现，选择加入运动，你就要选择Commitment，什么意思，就是一种属于，就是无论怎么样必须达到要求的精神吧。Which event did you choose?
I’m thinking of doing hurdles and sprints. Hurdles are the bars set on the track that you have to leap over. I’ve already started doing hurdles and I’m actually not that bad at them - my form is improving. Training for sprints haven’t started yet. Track normally lasts an hour and half after 3PM when regular school is over. It is so long and tiring in itself that I go home sore and I wake up the next day aching. But I repeat the process every day for five days straight because that’s the commitment it takes to be on a team.
听见了吗，虽然很辛苦，身上又酸又疼，Sore and aching all over，Lindsay很有决心呢， that's the commitment it takes to be on a team. 要在运动队上呆下去，你就得吃这个苦。我们预祝Lindsay训练成功愉快。下次见。
