34、as the close and lasting relationship with my coach Nikolai. 28. in advance (Para.20) — before a particular date or event 學習奧林匹克標準的愛 1 尼克萊·彼得羅維奇·安尼金一點都不像我想象的那么嚇人.不,他不可能是我父親特地送我來見的那位前蘇聯(lián)教練. 2 可他的確是尼克萊·彼得羅維奇·安尼金本人.他請我進門,在沙發(fā)上坐了下來,又拍了拍身邊的墊子,讓我坐在他旁邊.在他面前,我真的很緊張. 3 "你還年輕," 他的英語帶著俄語口音:"如果你愿意試

35、著向奧林匹克運動會進軍,我想你能行.長野奧運會來不及參加了,但你可以準備參加2002年鹽湖城奧運會." 4 "完全可以,不是嗎 " 看到我臉上驚愕的表情,他又說道.我那時是一個很有前途的業(yè)余滑雪運動員,但在國內決不是頂尖選手."當然,你需要進行很多艱苦的訓練,你會哭鼻子,但你一定會進步的." 5 的確,后來我經(jīng)歷了無數(shù)痛苦的訓練,還為此流了不少眼淚.但在后來的五年里,我總能從尼克萊講的有趣故事和他的幽默感中得到鼓勵. 6 他開始總是說:"我的朋友們常去看電影,去跳舞,去和女孩子約會," 然后他會降低聲音接著說:"我就在運動場上訓練,訓練,再訓練.第二年,我的15公里滑雪比賽成績

36、縮短了1.5分鐘." 7 "朋友們問我:'尼克萊,你怎么做到的呢 '我回答:'你們去看電影,跳舞,和女孩子約會,而我一直在訓練,訓練,再訓練.' " 8 故事通常到這兒就結束了.但有一次——后來我們知道那天是他結婚25周年紀念日——他穿著一件舊的毛衣,很自豪地站著,微笑著輕聲說道:"告訴你們,我可是在26歲那年才第一次親吻女孩子.她后來就和我結了婚." 9 不管他是不是懂得浪漫,尼克萊知道什么是愛.他以一貫的幽默,默默的感恩,敏銳的感覺和真誠的態(tài)度為愛設立了奧林匹克般的標準.即使在我結束了滑雪生涯之后,我仍一直努力去達到這個標準. 10 但他又從不嬌慣我.二月里的一天,我頭

37、很疼,感到十分疲倦.我在一片空地上遇見了了他,大概在寒風中的雪地里滑了十五分鐘后,我趕上了他,有點小題大做地說:"嘿,尼克萊,我感覺我要死了." 11 "如果活到一百歲,人人都會死的," 他對我的痛苦無動于衷,態(tài)度堅決地接著說:"但你現(xiàn)在必須滑,滑,再滑." 12 在滑雪板上,我照他說的去做.但在其他事情上我會反抗他.在一次經(jīng)費并不寬裕的滑雪露營活動中,他讓我們十個人擠在一個單身漢住的芬蘭式屋子里.第一天我們醒來時發(fā)現(xiàn)尼克萊正在做早餐.然后我們坐在臨時拼湊起來的椅子上,圍著張小小的牌桌,用勺子很快地吃完早飯.吃完后,尼克萊把摞起來的油膩膩的碗向我和我唯一的另一個女隊友前一推,專斷地說

38、:"女孩子們,現(xiàn)在去洗碗吧!" 13 我把餐巾往地上一扔,向他罵道:"讓該死的男孩子們去洗吧! 這不公平!" 他沒再讓我去洗碗,也沒對我的大發(fā)脾氣顯得太在意.他只在滑雪時才顯露出強烈的情感. 14 訓練的時候,他會跟著我們邁步的節(jié)奏大聲發(fā)出指令:"對,就這樣,一二三,一二三." 我祖父的一個好朋友——一位上了年紀的女士——看了尼克萊帶我訓練的錄像帶后問道:"他也教舞蹈嗎 " 15 在訓練時,我一刻不停地糾正著尼克萊指出的錯誤.每完成一個動作,我都會問他自己是否有了進步. 16 "是的,還行.但如果膝蓋能屈得更快些就更好了." 17 "可我滑得夠快了嗎 " 我堅持問他.

39、 18 最后他會皺起眉頭說:"你得無數(shù)次地重復,動作才能達到完美." 他提醒我"必須有耐心",言語之間流露出"我已經(jīng)告訴過你無數(shù)次了"的意思. 19 尼克萊的耐心和我的勤奮使我在全國名列第四,并開始為奧運會季前賽做準備.但后來我沒能被選拔參加2002年奧運會. 20 去年夏天,我回去拜訪尼克萊.他給我沏了茶······還自己洗了碗!我們坐在沙發(fā)上聊天.懷念起前一年的奧林匹克隊,我一時沉默,回想起自己曾經(jīng)獲得的一切——很重要的一點就是我和這個穿著頗具熱帶風情襯衫,個子不高的男人之間形成了并不張揚但又牢不可摧的紐帶. 21 尼克萊教會我即使需要無數(shù)次的努力,也要有勇氣,熱情和嚴格的紀律來堅持下去.他還教會我為了能在這世界上生活一輩子而預先心存感激,并每天提醒自己:即便面臨許多挑戰(zhàn),"現(xiàn)在心里有的必須是愛,愛,愛."
