The day when a sportsman stops thinking above all else of the happiness in his own effort and the intoxication of the power and physical balance he derives from it, the day when he lets considerations of vanity or interest take over, on this day his ideal will die.

  • -- Baron Pierre de Coubertin 顾拜旦

当一个运动员不再把自己的努力所带来的快乐放在首位,不再陶醉于从中获得的力量和身体平衡时,当他让虚荣心或兴趣占据主导地位时,他的理想就会在这一天破灭。
