沿着这个主题,再读几句。
The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime.
一个团队作为一个整体的表现方式决定了它的成功。你可能拥有世界上最伟大的球星,但如果他们不一起踢球,俱乐部就一文不值。

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.
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。
