答案
Since the Chinese gold medalists flew back with great honours from the Athens Olympic Games, the whole of China has been permeated with a festival atmosphere. Hailed as the heroes of our nation, the Olympic champions have been awarded a large sum of money for the contribution they have made to their motherland. Meanwhile some of them are now preoccupied with various publicity campaigns sponsored by big names in the business world, who are smart enough to draw on the public attention given to the athletes by the media. These have given rise to a widespread viewpoint that too much money and public attention would spoil these athletes. As the government has already rewarded the gold medal winners for the painstaking efforts they have made in order to win the championship, it is irrational for them to put in a token appearance on too many business occasions just to pocket more money. Even today, several months after the Athens event, some successful sports people may still be found at, for instance, a news conference for the launch of a new product or a programme of entertainment sponsored by a famous multinational company operating in China. Their money- motivated presence at these events is no doubt a blasphemy against sportsmanship. This has actually given rise to a widespread belief that they are engaged in sports for the sole purpose of making more money. In addition, the news media are harming some of the famous athletes in that the former are taking up too much of the time of the latter, which should be spent in their regular training. A household name in China because of the attention given by the media, Lin Xiang, China’s 110-metre hurdles gold medallist at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, complained in a recent TV interview that he was tired out because he had too many requests for interview to comply with. As a result, his performance in several recent international sports games has been rather disappointing. Some even doubt that he will be able to live up to the expectations of the Chinese people at the coming 2008 Olympic games. In a word, it is now high time that our athletes concentrated on their regular training instead of being distracted by the financial temptation and that the media took into consideration an athlete’s plan for training if there is a real need to interview him.
解析
第一段为本文的引言部分。作者从人们熟悉的现象人手引出文章的主题(These have given rise to a widespread viewpoint that too much money and public attention would spoil these athletes.)。
在主题段落部分,即第二和第三自然段,作者为文章的主题思想提出两个分支观点。第二段的主题句作者指出既然政府已经奖励了奥运冠军,他们就不应该为了钱财频频参加各种商业活动。需要注意的是,在段落拓展部分作者在举例说明后指出他们的这种行为亵渎了运动员精神(Their money-motivated presence at these occasions is no doubt a blasphemy against sportsmanship.),这句话是本段的点睛之笔,与引言部分spoil these athletes相吻合。第三自然段主要说明了媒体对运动员过多的关注影响了他们正常的训练,因此从某种意义上也伤害了运动员。文章以媒体极为关注的110米栏奥运冠军刘翔为例,很好地说明了本段的中心思想。
在文章的最后,作者有针对性地提出了两点建议,第一个建议是围绕部分运动员过于关注金钱而提出的,第二个建议则是呼吁媒体在采访体育明星时需要考虑他们的训练计划。
