7、在鄉間的草坪上，當你隨意組成兩個隊，并且不涉及任何地方情緒時，那才可能是單純的為了娛樂和鍛煉而進行比賽。可是一量涉及到榮譽問題，一旦你想到你和某一團體會因為你輸而丟臉時，那么最野蠻的爭斗天性便會激發起來。即使是僅僅參加過學校足球賽的人也有種體會。在國際比賽中，體育簡直是一場模擬戰爭。但是，要緊的還不是運動員的行為，而是觀眾的態度，以及觀眾身后各個國家的態度。面對著這些荒唐的比賽，參賽的各個國家會如癡如狂，甚至煞有介事地相信 - 至少在短期內如此 - 跑跑、跳跳、踢踢球是對一個民族品德素質的檢驗。1.goodwill n.友好例句：he attended the meeting as a goo

11、，還說各國民眾若在足球場或板球場上交鋒，就不愿在戰場上殘殺的時候，我總是驚愕不已。講解：hear sb doing sth類似于see sb doing sth的結構“see sb do sth ”表示看到某人做某事了，強調看見誰做過什么事。如：i saw her clean the classroom.是說我看到她打掃教室了。（強調做過這件事）而在我們的文中用的是：“see sb doing sth ”表示看到某人正在做某事強調“看見某人正在做某事”如：i saw her cleaning the classroom.我看到她正在掃打教室（強調正在做某事）像see 這樣的感官動詞還有hear
