Correcting the ExpressionsNiko

11、lai was not a native speaker of English, he couldn t speak standard English. So in the text we could see now and then he used bad grammar. Let s correct these expressions for him.尼克莱彼得罗维奇安尼金一点都不像我想象的那么吓人。不,他不可能是我父亲特地送我 来见的那位前苏联教练。可他的确是尼克莱彼得罗维奇安尼金本人。他请我进门,在沙发上坐下,又拍了拍身边的 垫子，让我坐在他旁边。在他面前，我真的很紧张。“你还年轻,”

12、他的英语带着俄语音:“如果你愿意试着向奥林匹克运动会进军，我想你能 行。长野奥运会来不及参加了，但你可以准备参加2002年盐湖城奥运会。”“完全可以，不是吗?”看到我脸上惊愕的表情，他又说道。我那时是个很有前途的业余滑 雪运动员，但在国内决不是顶尖选手。“当然，你需要进行很多艰苦的训练，你会哭鼻子，但你 一定会进步的。”的确,后来我经历了无数痛苦的训练，还为此流了不少眼泪。但在后来的五年里,我总能从 尼克莱讲的有趣故事和他的幽默感中得到鼓励。他开始总是说:“我的朋友们常去看电影，去跳舞,去和女孩子约会，”然后他会压低嗓门接 着说:“我就在运动场上训练、训练、再训练。第二年，我的15公里滑雪比赛

13、成绩缩短了 1.5 分钟。”“朋友们问我:尼克莱,你怎么做到的呢?我回答:你们去看电影、跳舞、和女孩子约会, 而我一直在训练、训练、再训练。”故事通常到这儿就结束了。但有一次后来我们知道那天是他结婚25周年纪念日他 穿着一件旧的毛衣,很自豪地站着,微笑着轻声说道：“告诉你们，我可是在26岁那年第一 次亲吻女孩子。她后来就和我结了婚。”不管他是不是懂得浪漫,尼克莱知道什么是爱。他以一贯的幽默、默默的感恩、敏锐的感觉 和真诚的态度为爱设立了奥林匹克般的标准。即使在我结束了滑雪生涯之后，我仍一直努力去达 到那个标准。但他又从不娇惯我。二月里的一天，我头很疼,感到十分疲倦。我在一片空地上遇见了他, 在

14、寒风中的雪地里滑了大概十五分钟后,我赶上了他，有点小题大做地说：“嘿,尼克莱,我感 觉我要死了。”“如果活到百岁,人人都会死的，”他对我的痛苦无动于衷,态度坚决地接着说：但你现 在必须滑、滑、再滑。在滑雪板上，我照他说的去做。但在其他事情上我会反抗他。在次经费并不宽裕的滑雪露 营活动中，他让我们十个人挤在个单身汉住的芬兰式屋子里。第一天我们醒来时发现尼克莱正 在做早餐。然后我们坐在临时拼凑起来的椅子上，围着张小小的牌桌，用勺子很快地吃完早饭。 吃完后，尼克莱把摞起来的油腻腻的碗向我和我唯一的另个女队友前一推，武断地说:“女孩 子们,现在去洗碗吧!”我把餐巾往地上扔,向他骂道：让该死的男孩子们去

15、洗吧!这不公平! ”他没再让我去洗 碗，也没对我的大发脾气显得太在意。他只在滑雪时显露出强烈的情感。训练的时候,他会随着我们迈步的节奏大声发出指令：“对，就这样,二三，二三。” 我祖父的个好朋友 位上了年纪的女士看了尼克莱带我训练的录像带后问道：“他也 教舞蹈吗?”在训练时，我一刻不停地纠正着尼克莱指出的错误。每完成一个动作,我都会问他自己是否 有了进步。“是的,还行。但如果膝盖能屈得更快些就更好了。”“可我滑得够快了吗? ”我坚持问他。最后他会皱起眉头说：“你得无数次地重复，动作才能达到完美。”他提醒我必须有耐心”， 言语之间流露出“我已经告诉过你无数次了”的意思。尼克莱的耐心和我的勤奋使我赢得了全国第四名的好成绩，并开始为奥运会季前赛做准备。 但后来我没能被选拔去参加2002年奥运会。去年夏天,我回去拜访尼克莱。他给我沏了茶还自己洗了碗!我们坐在沙发上聊天。 怀念起前一年的奥林匹克队,我时沉默,回想起自己曾经获得的一切很重要的一点就是我 和这个穿着颇具热带风情衬衫、个子不高的男人之间形成了并不张扬但又牢不可摧的纽带。尼克莱教会我即使需要无数次的努力，也要凭借勇气、热情和严格的纪律来坚持下去。他还 教会我为了能在这世界上生活一辈子而预先心存感激，并每天提醒自己:即便面临许多挑战,“现 在心里有的必须是爱、爱、爱。”
