人生如足球 Life is like a soccer match

1st December 2015  /  life upon life

上初中时,每星期放假,回家后打开计算机看《天下足球》。里面通常是对足球赛事的回顾,但也不乏感人的故事。西班牙有个男孩患病,不久于人世。他最大的愿望就是代表自己最喜欢的球队比利亚雷亚尔踢一场比赛。比利亚雷亚尔俱乐部听说这个消息后,当即决定与这个男孩签下一天的合同,完成他的愿望。在比利亚雷亚尔和凯尔特人的比赛中,男孩被派上场。凯尔特人球员对男孩也只是做象征性的防守,让男孩轻松地打进一球。比利亚雷亚尔队和凯尔特人队都不是豪门球队,但两队球员的心中都有那份善良,帮助男孩完成他最后的心愿。我深受感动。竞争残酷的足球世界中不相信眼泪,但需要一些催人泪下的东西,人生亦是如此。何潇平I would go home and turn on my computer to watch Total Soccer every weekend when I was in junior middle school. It was a TV program about reviews of football matches as well as some touching stories. There was a sick Spanish boy who wasn’t long for this world, and his biggest wish was to play in a real match on behalf of his favorite team, Villarreal. On hearing this news, the Villarreal club instantly decided to sign a contract for one day with the boy to fulfill his dream. In the match that Villarreal was against Celtic, the boy was sent on, and the goalkeeper of Celtic made a symbolic defense to let the boy goal easily. Though neither team was of the biggest clubs, they both had the goodness in heart to help the boy accomplish his wish. I was deeply moved by the story. Maybe we don’t trust tears in the fierce soccer match, but still we indeed need something that draws tears. So does our life.Xiaoping He
