LIVING LEGENDS
活著的傳奇
Help us choose some “Living Legends of Sports”。 They must be athletes who are masters in their sports and also set good examples for others。 Here are our first two choices。
來幫助我們選出“體育界的活傳奇”吧。他們必須所在運動專案上的大師，並且是他人學習的楷模。以下是我們首批篩選出來的兩位傳奇人物。
Lang Ping 郎平
As a player， Lang Ping brought honour and glory to her country。 As a coach， she led the China women’s volleyball team to medals at world championships and the Olympics。 As a person， Lang Ping is loved by fans at home and abroad。 When the Chinese team was preparing for the 2015 World Cup， her determination was tested。 The team that Lang Ping had built was falling apart。 One of the best players had been injured， and the team captain had to leave because of heart problems。 Losing two important players was a big challenge， but Lang Ping did not lose heart。 She had faced difficulties before， and she knew that her young players could win if they worked together as a team。 Two weeks later， they were world champions！ Then in 2016， Lang Ping led her volleyball team to Olympic gold in Brazil。
作為一名運動員，郎平為她的國家帶來了諸多榮譽。作為一名教練，她帶領中國女排在世界錦標賽和奧運會上屢獲殊榮。作為個人，郎平深受國內外深受球迷的喜愛。當中國隊在準備2015年世界盃時，她的決心受到了考驗。郎平組建的團隊處於崩潰的邊緣。最優秀的隊員中有一人受傷了，而且隊長也因心臟問題而離隊。失去兩大主力隊員是一個巨大的挑戰，但郎平並沒有灰心。她以前也遇到過各種困難，她知道只要她這些年輕的運動員們擰成一股繩通力合作，就能獲勝。兩週後，她們真成了世界冠軍！隨後在2016年，郎平又帶領她的排球隊在巴西勇奪奧運會金牌。
Michael Jordan 邁克爾·喬丹
When Michael Jordan’s feet left the ground， time seemed to stand still。 The player who became known as “Air Jordan” changed basketball with his graceful moves and jumps。 Jordan’s skills were impressive， but the mental strength that he showed made him unique。 In the final seconds of a game， Jordan always seemed to find a way to win。 Jordan says that the secret to his success is learning from his failures。 “I can accept failure； everyone fails at something。 But I can’t accept not trying。” Losing games taught him to practise harder and never give up。 In life， Jordan has learnt to share his success with others。 The Boys and Girls Club which he started in Chicago has been helping young people since 1996。
邁克爾·喬丹雙腳離地的那一瞬間時，時間似乎都凝固了。這位被稱為“飛人喬丹”的運動員用他那優雅的動作和跳躍改變了籃球運動。喬丹的球技令人讚歎，然而他所展示出來的精神力量使他脫穎而出。在比賽的最後幾秒鐘，喬丹似乎總能找到辦法獲勝。喬丹說，他成功的秘訣在於從失敗中學習。“我可以接受失敗，每個人都會遭遇失敗；但我決不能接受不去嘗試。” 賽場上失利教會他更努力地訓練和永不放棄。在生活中，喬丹學會了與他人分享自己的成功。他在芝加哥建立的“男孩女孩俱樂部”從1996年至今一直在幫助年輕人。
