Lesson 6-2 Thesporting spirit
On the village
green, where you pick up sides and no feeling of local patriotism is involved,
it is possible to play simply for the fun and exercise: but as soon as the
question of prestige arises, as soon as you feel that you and some larger unit
will be disgraced if you lose, the most savage combative instincts are aroused.Anyone who has played even in a school
football match knows this.At the international level, sport is frankly mimic warfare.But the significant thing is not thebehavior of the players but the attitude of the spectators: and, behind thespectators, of the nations who work themselves into furies over these absurdcontests, and seriously believe --- at any rate for short periods --- thatrunning, jumping and kicking a ball are tests of national virtue.

感悟:今天这篇文章其实也不是特别简短,生词也有一些,读起来还是有点拗口,所以第一次录就有点结巴的感觉,但是第一次录就达标了,所以也就通过了。
