Back at my high school for the tenth reunion,I met my old coach. Walking through the gym,we came upon a plaque on which I was still listed as the record holder for the longest softball throw. Noticing my surprise,the coach said,"That record will stand forever." I was about to make some modest comment that records exist to be broken,when he added,"We stopped holding that event years ago."
高中畢業(yè) 10 年以后回母校團(tuán)聚,碰到以前的教練。 我們穿過體育館的時(shí)候,看到一塊牌匾,上面刻著我的名字,我仍然是棒球投擲最遠(yuǎn)紀(jì)錄保持者。注意到我的詫異,教練說:"這個(gè)紀(jì)錄永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)被打破了。"我剛想謙虛幾句說紀(jì)錄的存在就是為了被打破,他補(bǔ)充說:"我們幾年前就取消這項(xiàng)比賽了。"
