本周早些時(shí)候，我與春假期間訓(xùn)練的老隊(duì)員聚在一起，但這次我只是個(gè)配角。午飯時(shí)，我問及體育在他們整個(gè)大學(xué)生涯中的意義，他們的回答如下:PartA Text Translation

你聽說過“新生15磅”吧，也許你已經(jīng)為此擔(dān)憂了。參加大學(xué)體育運(yùn)動能夠有效地防止這個(gè)臭名昭著的“新生15磅”。大二學(xué)生莎拉說:“我比較擔(dān)心‘新生15磅’這個(gè)問題，聽著就好像很難避免，而且還需要很多體能付出?？墒羌尤胭愅ш?duì)后，‘新生15磅’就再也沒有出現(xiàn)在我的腦海里了?！倍ㄆ谶\(yùn)動、適當(dāng)飲食、正常睡眠以保持充足的精力去訓(xùn)練，這些都是防止新生15磅問題的重要因素。PartA Text Translation

大四的籃球運(yùn)動員阿曼達(dá)說:“參加體育運(yùn)動后，你的時(shí)間就被三件事給占據(jù)了:學(xué)習(xí)、運(yùn)動、社交?！蔽也粫_你的，加入大學(xué)體育隊(duì)會耗時(shí)而且有時(shí)會帶來壓力，因?yàn)槟阋獏f(xié)調(diào)幾件不同的事情。但是如果預(yù)先制訂好計(jì)劃，就很少會耽誤本該做的事情，因?yàn)槟愀緵]有其他多余的時(shí)間。PartA Text Translation

在大學(xué)，我們結(jié)交朋友、認(rèn)識有趣的人。加入運(yùn)動隊(duì)后，馬上就進(jìn)入了一個(gè)朋友圈。21歲的大三學(xué)生克利奧說:“我無法想象沒有我的團(tuán)隊(duì)我的大學(xué)生活會是怎樣。隊(duì)友們每天都給我挑戰(zhàn)，使我不論在隊(duì)內(nèi)還是隊(duì)外都達(dá)到最佳水平。因此，團(tuán)隊(duì)內(nèi)部的支持和激勵(lì)機(jī)制也是加入運(yùn)動隊(duì)的一大好處。PartA Text Translation

除了文憑，離校之后對我們?nèi)杂袃r(jià)值的東西還有經(jīng)驗(yàn)。你會發(fā)現(xiàn)，在大學(xué)你可以嘗試各種新的經(jīng)歷。克利奧說得好:“干嘛不參加體育隊(duì)呢？又沒什么壞處！”所以，你是否已準(zhǔn)備好去參加一支運(yùn)動隊(duì)呢？PartA Text Translation
