Some people think that playing sports will make children more aggressive. What’s your opinion?
1.举办体育比赛就会有胜负之分,孩子们必然会受其影响。
2.孩子们好胜并不是坏事,对他们追求成功有利。
I think it’s true. All the big-time sports children like to watch on TV are all very competitive and in today’s sports culture, it’s all about winning. And that’s influencing the sports children play, too. Children are taught to compete hard at sports games at school and coaches encourage young players to be aggressive in order to win. So of course popular sports like football, soccer, baseball make kids aggressive. But in my opinion, children being aggressive isn’t really a bad thing. In terms of their future career pursuits, aggressive people are more likely to succeed because they won’t easily give up without a fight.
我认同这个观点。那些孩子们喜欢在电视上观看的一流体育运动都很有竞争性,而且,在现在的体育文化中,一切都是为了获胜。这也影响了孩子们的体育活动。孩子们被教导在学校的体育比赛中努力竞争,教练们鼓励年轻的运动员为了获胜要更有好胜心。所以,像足球、橄榄球、棒球这些受欢迎的运动当然会让孩子们变得好胜。但是在我看来,孩子们变得好胜不是一件坏事。就他们未来的职业追求而言,好胜的人更容易成功,因为他们不会不战而返。
