As Gu Ailing's mother expected, the most common thing Gu Ailing said after winning the championship was "I don't want to beat others, I want to show my best self." ”
Looking back at the experience of this legendary girl, it is hard to believe that this 18-year-old child can achieve such results. She is not only a world champion, but also a student at Stanford University, in addition to being a model.
She began competing at the age of nine, and by the time she was fifteen she had won forty or fifty gold medals, nine of which were national champions.
However, at the age of 15, she decided to renounce her American citizenship and join China. Within two years of joining the Chinese nationality, she won 11 gold, 2 silver and 3 bronze for China. As long as she competes, she will definitely be able to stand on the podium in the end.
In addition to participating in the Olympic Games, Gu Ailing also has a dream, that is, to be admitted to Stanford University. In order not to affect the grades, she arranged the time every day, and even did homework on the train, with a full score of 1600 points, and Gu Ailing received a super high score of 1580 points.
Gu Ailing's life is beyond people's reach. But she is also like a normal person, she will be sluggish and anxious. To ask what keeps motivating her, I'm afraid it's the words on her phone's screensaver: How bad do you want it?
Gu Ailing said that every time she slackened off, she could be stimulated to think of this sentence, and it thought it was a question, which forced her to immediately devote herself to training.
How bad do you want it mean? Mr. Jimmy hopes that after learning this sentence, it will also inspire you!
How to understand Gu Ailing's proverbs?
How bad do you want it?
How eager are you to succeed?
The phrase is not "How bad do you want to be?" The meaning of this, in fact, the correct answer has nothing to do with "poor", it is to say "How eager do you really want to succeed?" ”。
Some students asked Jimmy, is the bad here used incorrectly? The adverb badly should be used to mean "very", and I need it badly means "I need it very much".
In fact, bad can also be used as an adverb, which means the same thing as badly. Although this usage is controversial, some people think that bad cannot be used as an adverb, but in practice many foreigners will say so.
Gu Ailing wrote how bad do you want it on the phone screensaver? To motivate yourself, it here can be understood as "succeed and achieve goals", which means "how eager do you really want to succeed?" ”
1. I want the golden medal so bad.
2. I want the golden medal so badly.
I'm very desperate to win.
What does cry ab it mean?
Not long ago, some American netizens questioned Gu Ailing, asking her why she grew up in the United States and why she represented China, Gu Ailing replied with three words: Cry ab it!
cry ab it
=cry about it
Cry for this, cry and go
The ab here is the abbreviation of about, cry about it literally translates to "cry for this matter", which can be understood as, what happened to the competition on behalf of China? Cry go! This sentence is typically used to scare people, and is generally used when others attack you.
- I don't know why you are the one who won.
- Cry ab it!
- Really don't know how to win is you.
- Cry go!
Tho
=though
But, however; though, though
What do American netizens mean by tho? tho is an abbreviation for though, which can mean "although, though", but here means "but, however". The meaning of this sentence is "But you grew up in San Francisco, why do you represent China?" ”
It's not my fault tho.
However, this is not my fault.
After winning the championship, Gu Ailing posted a winning speech on the Internet, and the first sentence was "Olympic gold!!! In absolute disbelief still.”
in absolute disbelief
Totally unbelievable
disbelief /dɪsbɪ'liːf/ is the opposite of belief, meaning "not believing", while absolute means "completely", absolute disbelief means "complete disbelief", and the preceding preposition should be in.
He looked at me in absolute disbelief.
He looked at me in utter disbelief.
The secret of Gu Ailing's success is it
When asked by reporters what the secret of success is, Gu Ailing said I do it full-heartedly and whole-heartedly. Both words in this sentence are related to heart, but the meaning is a little different
full-hearted
Passionately and confidently
full means "full", but full-hearted is not "wholeheartedly", but "full of passion, full of enthusiasm, full of confidence". He welcomed me full-heartedly means "He greeted me with enthusiasm."
He pursued his dream full-heartedly.
He chased his dreams with passion.
whole-hearted
Wholeheartedly
Whole means "complete, complete", and whole-hearted means "wholeheartedly". Gu Ailing says I do it full-heartedly and whole-heartedly, which means "I'm doing this with enthusiasm and wholeheartedness."
She supports me whole-heartedly.
She supported me wholeheartedly.
