长期单调(monotonous)而高强度的训练曾经使林丹精疲力竭。无休止的伤痛,以及2004年雅典奥运会的失利,使得他曾一度打算放弃这项他从小就从事的运动。
为了从懊恼和沮丧中摆脱出来,林丹迫使自己每天接受十分严格且富有成效的训练,不断地突破自己身体的极限。此后,林丹蝉联两届奥运会冠军。在二十年的职业生涯中,林丹共赢得了20次世界冠军,是羽毛球历史上唯一实现双圈全满贯(Double Grand Slam)的运动员。
诚然,成功为林丹带来了财富和声誉。然而,他的顽强和刻苦超越了体育运动的宗旨成为人类精神本质的体现。
答案：In competitive sports, the success of an athlete can be credited to their arduous training and tenacious personality. Lin Dan, the best-known Chinese badminton player, is definitely a case in point.
Long-time monotonous and high intensity training almost wore him down at one point. Troubled by chronic pain and his failure at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, it was once his intention to give upplaying badminton, the sport he had played since childhood.
In order to break away from frustration and depression, Lin Dan subjected himself to rigorous and productive training on a daily basis, constantly exceeding his physical limits. Since then, Lin Dan has won two Olympic championships. In his 20-year career, Lin Dan has won 20 World Championships and is the only player in badminton history to win Double Grand Slam.
True, success has brought Lin Dan fortune and reputation. However, his tenacity and hard work have gone beyond the purpose of sports to become the embodiment of the essence of the human spirit.
