movement than horizontal.“Have a nice jog!”she called as she jumped up,down and away.A nice jog!You have no idea,I thought.Digging译文译文Survival of the fittest句子分析句子分析第14页2 I hadnt always been like this.At school,I was useless at sport,and when youre useless at something,you hate it.When the two captains chose the best players for their football teams,I was always the last to be called or tennis,or cricket,you name it,I was no good.译文译文Digging第15页 3 But I began to run when I was at university.In fact,my first runs were along the same stretch of river in Oxford.There was a feeling that to be intellectually successful you had to be physically fit too.But I didnt like competitive sport.The sports I did with enthusiasm,like running and skiing,were ones which provided me with fun and good company.译文译文DiggingDigging第16页4 After university,I ran every day,not fast but quite far.I increased the distances gradually,so that half a marathon was the equivalent of a gentle walk.I also felt mentally acute,and some of my very best work was done while running.When I started a run,I would have a problem to solve,a mental challenge to face,a string of thoughts in knots.By the end of the run,everything had fallen into place.译文译文Digging第17页5 One day,I went for a run through countryside which I hardly knew.After a couple of hours,I found myself in front of a beautiful house surrounded by trees and an extensive garden.It turned out to be Down House,the home of Charles Darwin,and the place where he developed his theory of evolution and the survival of the fittest.With the raised perception of an oxygen-filled brain,I understood what Darwin had revealed to the world.译文译文Digging第18页6 Some years later,I found myself by chance running in my local park at the same time as a charity run was taking place.I wasnt registered to take part but I ran alongside the runners in the middle.Then out of curiosity,I wanted to find out if I could catch up with the front runners.It was so ridiculously easy.But it didnt make me feel especially good to beat everyone.It was just like ticking something off a list of things to do.译文译文DiggingDigging第19页7 Of course,as they say,pride comes before a fall.In my case,it was literally true.I was involved in a ski accident,falling badly and breaking several bones,including both legs.For six months I moved with immense difficulty using sticks.Physical activity was impossible,I got unhealthy,and I became depressed at the prospect of my future life.译文译文DiggingDigging第20页8 But gradually,I began to take exercise again.Over three years,I started walking without sticks,then running slowly,until my improvement was such that I was nearly as fit as I was before the accident.To complete my recovery,I needed a goal,and the one I chose was the London Marathon.译文译文DiggingDigging第21页9 I trained for nine months,and when I lined up in Greenwich Park on the May morning of the event,I felt as good as I have ever felt.I ran with the pack in the middle,not the champion athletes,but among the best club runners,as we all wound our way up and down and across the river,past cheering crowds and television cameras,over Tower Bridge,through Docklands,and back along the Embankment to finish the race in front of Buckingham Palace.The fact that I completed the race in an honourable time of three hours gave me only slight pleasure.But it felt good to have survived the past few years,and to be back among the fittest.译文译文DiggingDigging第22页10 On that other day by the river in Oxford,I thought that overtaking the woman too quickly ran the risk of appearing ill-mannered.I waited five seconds and then accelerated past her with a series of long,lazy strides.She didnt hear me coming from behind,and she could hardly see me running ahead.I wasnt bothered if she was impressed,it was simply a privilege to be fit.译文译文DiggingDigging第23页Difficult sentences Difficult sentences TextWhen British philosopher Herbert Spencer read Darwins revolutionary work OntheOriginofSpecies(物种起源),he summed up its message as“survival of the fittest”.Darwin liked the phrase and used it in later editions of his book.He intended the phrase to mean that the animals and plants best adapted to their environment will be the most successful.Here the writer uses it also to refer to the most physically fit and jokingly compares this great biological principle with his own overtaking the woman out jogging.A reference to his own recovery from his accident and regaining fitness may also be intended.1.Survival of the fittest(Title)第24页2.She started to run with more vertical movement than horizontal.(Line 3,Para 1)Difficult sentences Difficult sentences The lady is kick jumping as she jogs,a technique used in fitness training by lifting the knees

idea,I thought.(Line 4,Para 1)The writer in a good-tempered way is shocked that his long-distance stylish running could be called“a nice jog”.He gets his revenge in a moment when he runs past the

mental challenge to face,a string of thoughts in knots.(Line 5,Para 4)a string of thoughts in knots:This is a metaphorical use which refers to complex problems.The writer finds that he thinks more

understood what Darwin had revealed to the world.(Line 7,Para 5)TextThe physical activity which makes the heart beat faster fills the blood stream with extra oxygen.The writer feels this makes his
