The Hope of Spring(2)

     We restarted.  Although not much improvement was made during the first day of training, however, I knew no one cared,and no one cared about that prize. For we were progressing towards our goal. It was the precious teamwork and the hope of spring that we really cared.

简  评
    本文的题目“The Hope of Spring”一语双关，即有字面意义：春天是希望的季节，又有引申意义：在任何情况下都要满怀希望。本文对春天景色描写只是一笔带过，主要叙述了作者和同学们在一个春日的午后在操场上为跳绳比赛进行操练，通过对作者心理状态的细腻刻画反映了整个操练过程中的一波三折。从一开始对胜利满怀希望，后因两名选手屡屡失败而感到受挫，作者感到有责任去安慰他们，到最后尽管训练并没有很大起色，但作者已不再囿于名次之争，认识到重要的是为了目标不断努力，团结合作，并且要满怀希望。作者的思想得到了升华。
