“你是否具备杀手本能？我们(wǒmen)这里说的可不是任天堂游戏……”这是我们(wǒmen)公司运动会通知的开头。这则消息迅速传开，不仅当月在传，它一直传到4月10日—也就是运动会当天！PartA Text Translation

第二十页，共122页。运动会是大家期待已久的大事，组委会为此做了大量的规划和协调(xiétiáo)工作。它的顺利召开是整个团队竭诚努力的结果。组委会核心小组的每一位成员对此都兴奋不已，小组形成了一个团队，一个致力于使这次运动会圆满成功的团队。PartA Text Translation

第二十一页，共122页。运动项目表在公司员工中传阅，我们都报名参加自己想要参加的项目。备受欢迎的棋盘游戏（如拼字游戏和国际象棋）也属参赛项目。此外还有无袋台球、数独和引发热议的乒乓球。很少有人(yǒurén)会不顾自己现有的专长就去参加某个项目，而是有些人会根据自己在某项运动方面的天赋做出选择。……PartA Text Translation

第二十二页，共122页。……总之非常有趣，因为每个项目都有很多人参加。运动会使大家(dàjiā)走得更近了。我们越来越了解彼此，发现隐藏在彼此身上的才能，最重要的是，我们获得了一次机会重回学生时代。PartA Text Translation

第二十三页，共122页。积极参与！这是我们运动会的口号，我们也确实做到了。大部分人参加了至少一项运动，有些甚至更多。有些人组织比赛(bǐsài)，有些人当裁判，有些人观看其他人比赛(bǐsài)。“观看”可不是那种静静的观看，每一项比赛(bǐsài)都有一群着迷的观众为运动员加油喝彩。PartA Text Translation

第二十四页，共122页。运动会带给我们的另一收获就是我们都走到了一起，成为一个团队。运动会不只是一次团队建设活动，更是一次促进团队协作的活动！平日里碰面只打声招呼的人在运动会中一起欢呼加油，这的确会产生巨大变化。彼此几乎不认识的人同属(tónɡshǔ)一支队伍，而最好的朋友则相互比赛。PartA Text Translation

第二十五页，共122页。在颁奖典礼上，我们的CEO应邀发言。他说：“胜利增强自信，自信赢得胜利。今天，大家知道了胜利的滋味，对不对？赢了比赛的人对此很清楚，没有赢的人会有更深切的体会！我不愿用‘失败’这个词。你要么赢，要么没赢，在我的词典里没有‘输’这个字。”他接着说：“你们都应心怀胜利的目标(mùbiāo)并且相信自己能获胜。信念至关重要；它能带你在生活中前行。相信自己，成功并不遥远。PartA Text Translation
