It was a classic night.The noisy Mexico City gradually calmed down.The main stadium of Olympic track and field competition was enveloped in the darkness.

After he finished making the scenes the marathon winners ma rked the victory, Greenspan, the world famous newsreel (纪录片)producer,found the stadium empty.It was time for him to return to the hotel for a rest.He was about to leave when he suddenly saw a man with his right leg stained(玷污)with the blood run into the stadium.This man ran lamely out of breath,but he didn't stop.After he ran along the runway for a circle and got to the goal,he broke down on the ground...

Greenspan guessed this was a marathon athlete.Out of curiosity,he went over to ask why the athlete wanted to run to the goal with such a difficulty.

The young man called Kowari from Tanzania replied gently, “That my country sent me here from more than 20,000 kilometers is not let me get off the mark in the competition,but make me complete the game.I want to run to the goal, though I have fallen behind all other runners, I have a sacred(神圣的)goal like them:I will run to the goal.Though the audience won't cheer me any more,my motherland is watching me intently(聚精会神地)from behind...”

Tears welled up in Greenspan's eyes.Soon,he spread the most touching scene in the history of the Olympic Games to every corner of the world.

Life should have a dream of reaching the peak,yet we should understand not everybody has the ability to do it.The most important is not whether we can reach the peak but whether we have made the greatest efforts—to reach the goal in the mind is a success.

那是一个静谧的夜晚,喧嚣的墨西哥城终于渐渐安静下来,奥运会田径比赛的主体育场笼罩在夜色中。

享誉国际的纪录片制作人格林斯潘将当天马拉松比赛优胜者们庆祝胜利的镜头制作完毕后,才发现体育场内已空无一人,自己该回宾馆休息了。他刚要离开体育场,突然看到一个右腿沾满血污跑进体育场的人。这个人一瘸一拐地跑着,气喘吁吁,却没有停下来。他顺着跑道跑了一圈,抵达终点后,一下瘫倒在地……

格林斯潘猜想,这是一名马拉松运动员。在好奇心的驱使下,他走了过去,询问这名运动员为什么要这么吃力地跑到终点。

这位来自坦桑尼亚名叫埃克瓦里的年轻人轻声回答说:“我的国家从两万多公里外送我来这里,不是叫我在这场比赛中起跑,而是派我来完成这场比赛的。我要跑向终点,尽管我已经落在奔跑队伍的最后面,但我有着和他们一样神圣的目标:我要跑到终点。尽管不再有观众为我加油,但我身后有祖国的凝望……”

格林斯潘泪光盈盈。很快,他就用镜头将奥运史上这最动人的一幕传递到世界的每个角落。

人生应该拥有登临峰顶的梦想,但更应该懂得不是每个人都有到达峰顶的能力。最重要的不是能否到达峰顶,而是是否尽到了最大努力——到达心中的目标,便是一种成功。
