How does the writer describe sport at the international level?
I am always amazed when I hear people saying that sport creates goodwill between the nations, and that if only the common peoples of the would could meet one another at football or cricket, they would have no inclination to meet on the battle field. Even if one didn”t know from concrete examples (the 1936 Olympic Games, for instance) that international sporting contests lead to orgies of hatred, one could deduce it from general principles.
Nearly all the sports practid nowadays are competitive. You play to win, and the game has little meaning unless you do your utmost to win. 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 exerci: but as soon as a the question of prestige aris, as soon as you feel that you and some larger unit will be disgraced if you lo, the most savage combative instincts are aroud. 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 the behaviour of the players but the attitude of the spectators: and, behind the spectators, of the nations who work themlves into furies over the absurd contests, and riously believe -- at any rate for short periods -- that running, jumping and kicking a ball are tests of national virtue.【参考译文】
当我听人们说体育运动可制造国家之间的友情，还说各国民众若在足球场或板球场上交锋，就不愿在战场上残杀的时候，我总是惊愕不已。一个人即使不能从详细的事例（例如1936年的奥林匹克运动会）了解到国际运动竞赛会导致疯狂的仇恨，也可以从常理中推断出结论。
现在开展的体育运动几乎都是竞争性的。参与竞赛就是为了取胜。假如不拚命去赢，竞赛就没有什么意义了。在乡间的草坪上，当你随便组成两个队，并且不涉及任何地方心情时，那才可能是单纯的为了消遣和熬炼而进展竞赛。可是一量涉及到荣誉问题，一旦你想到你和某一团体会由于你输而丢脸时，那么最野蛮的争斗天性便会激发起来。即使是仅仅参与过学校足球赛的人也有种体会。在国际竞赛中，体育简直是一场模拟战斗。但是，要紧的还不是运发动的行为，而是观众的态度，以及观众身后各个国家的态度。面对着这些荒唐的竞赛，参赛的各个国家会如痴如狂，甚至煞有介事地信任 -- 至少在短期内如此 -- 跑跑、跳跳、踢踢球是对一个民

讲解：hear sb doing sth类似于e sb doing sth的构造
“e sb do sth ”表示看到某人做某事了，强调观察谁做过什么事。如：I saw her clean the classroom.
groundzero是说我看到她清扫教室了。（强调做过这件事）
而在我们的文中用的是：“e sb doing sth ”
表示看到某人正在做某事强调“观察某人正在做某事”
如：I saw her cleaning the classroom.
我看到她正在扫打教室（强调正在做某事）
像e 这样的感官动词还有hear , feel , watch , notice （留意到）都可以跟do 或doing分别表不同的意思

I heard him playing the piano.
