While watching the Olympics the other night, ...

While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an incredible(难以置信的) sight. The 36  was swimming and started with only three men. For one reason or another, two of them had a 37start, so they were disqualified. That would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to 38 against.

I watched the man 39  off the blocks and knew immediately that something was wrong. Now I’m not an expert 40  but I do know a good dive 41 a poor one, and this was not exactly medal 42  . I listened to the crowd begin to43this poor man that was clearly having a 44  time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was 45  he made a few desperate(拼命的) stroke(划水) and you could tell he was exhausted.

But in those few 46strokes, the crowd had changed. No longer were they laughing, but beginning to 47 . Some even began to 48things like, “Come on, you can do it!” and he 49  finished his race. The crowd went 50 . Even though he recorded one of the 51 times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other 52 .

In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals, feeling they have 53been cheated out of gold, or when they act so 54  in front of their competitors, it is nice to watch an underdog(败者), a man that gave his all --- knowing that he had no chance, but competed because of his 55  and the spirit of the games.

I came across quite a few language problems while on holiday with my family last summer. The most embarrassing was when my Mom apologized to the people we were staying with because her “pants were dirty”. They looked at her in amazement, not knowing how to react. You see, Mom had fallen over and gotten mud on her jeans. But in Britain, “pants” means underpants, not trousers as it does back home.

Katie — From America

When I asked for the “restroom” in a big department store, people kept directing me to a room with seats where I could sit and “rest”. It took me years to get through to someone that I only wanted the toilet!

Tom — From America

Last summer we went on a two-week family touring holiday, so Dad hired a car over the Internet. This was an old vehicle and there turned out to be lots of things wrong with it. When he phoned the hire company and tried to explain that the lock on the boot(汽车行李箱) was broken, they thought he was talking about footwear! He had no idea their word for “boot” was “trunk”. In the end we went to a garage and just solved the problem.

Mary — From Britain

Last summer, I went to stay with a friend on the west coast. Her flat was on the first floor of a high-rise building so I got the lift up. Then I wandered round for ages looking for her flat but couldn’t find it. Fed up and tired, I finally had to go out to find a phone box. She explained that her flat was on the first floor, which for me meant the ground floor.
