The sporting spirit
白色童话
体育的精神
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
84年属相football or cricket, they would have no inclination to meet on the hattlefield. Even if one didnt know from concrete examples (the 1936 Olympic Games, for instance) that international sporting contests lead to orgies of hatred, one could deduce if from general principles.
申请怎样写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.
