游泳池中的“飞人”

“Other athletes are swimming， while he is flying！” “He is totally a swimming genius！” People who watched his games couldnt help exclaiming[惊呼]. His extraordinary[出色的] performance greatly surprised the world and was thought to be a legend[传奇] in swimming history. He is just Michael Phelps， an American“superfish”， who got eight gold medals and broke seven world records in Beijing Olympics.

To many people， the 23-year-old， handsome， young man must have inherited[继承] the gift for swimming from his father who was also an excellent swimmer. His coach[教练] found he was a rare swimming genius when he was young， for small Phelps could easily acquire[学到] some skills which other teenagers couldnt master. Besides， Phelpss exceptional[非同一般的] physique[体格] is said to be the most perfect figure for swimming. He is 1.87 meters tall， while his arms span 2.01 meters long. His much longer upper body， relatively short legs， big-size feet and hands are all advantageous[有利的] to swim.

However， any inborn advantage cant function[起作用] without acquired diligence[勤奋]. As we know， “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration[汗水].” Accordingly， a “Genius” in fact is usually a talented person who has done all his or her homework. Phelps is just such a person. “Nobody is more diligent than me！” said Phelps. He said， and he did. Until now he still keeps the habit of getting up at 5 oclock in the morning to start training and never has a halt[停顿]. In the past seven years， he just didnt swim in only seven days. Obviously， it is the continuous[不间断的] industry and endeavor[努力] that make Phelps get such remarkable achievements.

The glory[荣耀] of a champion[冠军] is worth our envy， while how to be a champion is worth more our consideration[[思考]. I believe we can gain some inspiration from the success of Phelps.

“其他运动员在游，而他在飞！”“他简直就是一个游泳天才！”观看他比赛的人都情不自禁惊呼起来。他出色的表现令世界大为惊叹，并且被认为是游泳历史上的传奇。他就是迈克尔·菲尔普斯，一条来自美国的“飞鱼”，在北京奥运会上获得了八枚金牌并且打破了七项世界纪录。

对很多人来说，这个23岁的年轻帅小伙一定是继承了他父亲的游泳天赋，他父亲曾经也是一名优秀的游泳运动员。在他小的时候他的教练就发现他是个罕见的游泳天才，因为他能轻松地学会一些同龄人不能掌握的技巧。此外，菲尔普斯非同一般的体形也据说是适合游泳的完美身材。他身高1.87米，而双臂伸展长达2.01米。他比较长的上身、相对较短的腿部以及大手大脚对游泳是极为有利的。

然而，没有后天的勤奋，任何先天的优势都无法发挥作用。我们知道，“天才是百分之一的灵感加上百分之九十九的汗水。”相应地，一个“天才”实际上是一个有天赋的人已经做了他应该做的事情。菲尔普斯就是这样一个人。他说：“没有人比我更勤奋。”他说了，并且做到了。直到现在他还保持着早上5点起床开始训练的习惯，并且从未停下来过。在过去七年里，仅仅有七天时间他没有下水游泳。显然，正是这不间断的勤奋与努力让菲尔普斯获得了如此了不起的成就。

冠军的荣耀值得我们羡慕，而如何成为冠军更值得我们思考。我相信我们可以从菲尔普斯的成功中获得某些启示。
