本周早些时候，我与春假期间训练的老队员聚在一起，但这次我只是个配角。午饭时，我问及体育在他们整个大学生涯中的意义，他们的回答如下:PartA Text Translation

你听说过“新生15磅”吧，也许你已经为此担忧了。参加大学体育运动能够有效地防止这个臭名昭著的“新生15磅”。大二学生莎拉说:“我比较担心‘新生15磅’这个问题，听着就好像很难避免，而且还需要很多体能付出。可是加入赛艇队后，‘新生15磅’就再也没有出现在我的脑海里了。”定期运动、适当饮食、正常睡眠以保持充足的精力去训练，这些都是防止新生15磅问题的重要因素。PartA Text Translation

大四的篮球运动员阿曼达说:“参加体育运动后，你的时间就被三件事给占据了:学习、运动、社交。”我不会骗你的，加入大学体育队会耗时而且有时会带来压力，因为你要协调几件不同的事情。但是如果预先制订好计划，就很少会耽误本该做的事情，因为你根本没有其他多余的时间。PartA Text Translation

在大学，我们结交朋友、认识有趣的人。加入运动队后，马上就进入了一个朋友圈。21岁的大三学生克利奥说:“我无法想象没有我的团队我的大学生活会是怎样。队友们每天都给我挑战，使我不论在队内还是队外都达到最佳水平。因此，团队内部的支持和激励机制也是加入运动队的一大好处。PartA Text Translation

除了文凭，离校之后对我们仍有价值的东西还有经验。你会发现，在大学你可以尝试各种新的经历。克利奥说得好:“干嘛不参加体育队呢？又没什么坏处！”所以，你是否已准备好去参加一支运动队呢？PartA Text Translation
