　　雅思大作文题目：体育运动中身体和心态哪个更重要?

　　“Some people argue that the fittest and strongest individuals and teams can achieve the greatest success in sports. But other people think the success is much related to the mental attitude. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

　　”解析&审题

　　2019年开年雅思考，作文题目重复的是2008年5月的真题，这恐怕会令人都感到匪夷所思。尽管如此，本题在命题方式上与传统雅思命题并无差异，依然是提供了两个观点，让考生进行双边讨论。

　　题目中提供两个观点的考题，可以分为两种情况：

　　(1)两个观点是排斥关系，非A即B，没有中间道路可以选择;

　　(2)两个观点是互补关系，可以同时A和B。

　　本题显然属于第二种情况。在运动领域成功，到底是身体条件重要，还是精神态度重要?我们的直觉当然是两者都重要。当然，我们在分别论证两者的重要性时，可以适当区分一下：在某些运动(比如篮球，橄榄球等)中身体条件更重要，而在其他运动(比如棋类)中精神态度更重要。当然，无论什么运动，想要成功，这两者都是十分必要的。

　　01

　　To achieve the greatest success in sports, first it requires physical ability. However, strength and fitness being equal, it is ultimately the right mental attitude that makes a big difference. Speaking of individual or team competition in sports, stories about champions are invariably related to an extraordinary interplay of the physical strength and the mental attitude.

　　要想在体育运动中取得的成功，首先需要身体的能力。然而，在力量和健康相等的时候，最终由正确的精神态度来决定胜败。谈及个人或团体的体育比赛，的故事总是关乎身体力量和精神态度的非凡组合。

　　解析

　　(1) 开头段直接提出自己的观点：体育比赛中，身体和态度都很重要。

　　(2) to achieve success 取得成功

　　(3) ultimately 最终地

　　(4) make a big (huge) difference 决定胜负;决定成败;制造一个巨大的差异

　　(5) invariably 总是

　　(6) interplay 相互作用

　　The fittest and strongest individuals and teams have the most competitive edge to win. Certainly, the physical factors are key to victory in any sport event. For example, in the sports that demand extreme physical ability, such as weight-lifting and marathon, usually the fittest and strongest individuals are most likely to triumph. The same is also true to team sports like football and basketball. The winning team is always made up of players who have better physical conditions. So improving physical strength is undoubtedly the first thing that individuals and teams must do if they want to succeed in sports.

　　适应力最强、身体最强壮的个人和团队拥有最有竞争力的优势。毫无疑问，在任何体育赛事中，身体因素都是取胜的关键。例如，在需要极端体能的运动中，如举重和马拉松，通常是适应力最强和最强壮的人最有可能获胜。同样的道理也适用于像足球和篮球这样的团队运动。获胜的球队总是由身体条件的球员组成。因此，如果想在体育运动中成功，体力无疑是个人和团队必须做的件事。

　　解析

　　(1)本段论述身体因素对体育运动的重要作用。

　　(2)competitive edge 竞争优势

　　(3)triumph 获胜

　　(4)to be made up of 由......组成

　　03

　　That said, the other half of the success story in sports is closely associated with the right mental attitude. Most successful athletes feel that their greatest asset is their mental ability along with their physical ability, rather than their physical ability alone. People with the right mental attitude understand that they will never give up even when they have lost a game, and that they will make a comeback as long as they do not quit. So If individuals and teams believe in the right mental attitude, then nothing can stop them from achieving the success.

　　虽然如此，运动成功的另一半与正确的心态密切相关。大多数成功的运动员认为他们的财富是他们的心理能力及身体能力，而不仅仅是身体能力。有正确心态的人知道，即使输了一场比赛，他们也不会放弃，只要他们不放弃，就能东山再起。因此，如果个人和团队相信正确的心态，那么没有什么能阻止他们取得成功。

　　解析

　　(1)本段讨论心态在体育运动中的重要性。

　　(2)that said 话虽如此;尽管如此

　　(3)asset 财富

　　(4)alone 仅仅

　　(5)make a comeback 东山再起

　　04

　　To sum up, in individual or team competitions, the body achieves what the mind believes. The two things are not mutually exclusive as both are needed to make the greatest success happen.

　　总之，在个人或团队的比赛中，由身体来实现心里的信念。这两样因素并不相互排斥，因为两者都是实现成功所必需的。

　　解析

　　(1)本段为结论段，并重申自己的观点。

　　(2)mutually exclusive 相互排斥

　　(3)make...happen 使......发生;实现
