英语翻译
I had been swimming competitively for about five years and was ready to quit,because i left i was horrible at it,i kept receiving "Honorable Mentions' at each competition,which simply means," Thank you for coming.You didn't even rank first,second or third,but we don't want you to go home with nothing."
The every day before a big swim meet,i decided to break the news to my grandma that i was quitting the swim team.You have to know my grandma—she was a small woman but could run the entire operation of her house without leaving her sofa or raising her voice.As i sat next to my grandma,i laid my head on her tiny little lap so that she could rub it.
When i told her of my desire to quit swimming,she suddenly pushed my head off her lap,sat me a straight up facing her and said,"baby,remember these words!A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.Your grandmother didn't raise losers or quitters.You go to that swim meet tomorrow,and you swim like you are a grandchild or mine,you hear?"
I was too afraid to say anything but," yes,ma'am."
The next day i arrived at the swim meet,and as i got on the board,i noticed the other girls with their skintight caps,goggles and Speedo suits were here to do one thing — beat me.
The competition began and i was swimming harder than before.I noticed i was tied with one person.I thought we were battling for the eighth place and i refused to finish dead last,so i added more kick on the last two hundred metres.
I hit the wail and looked to the left and to the right for the swimmers who had beaten me.But no one was there.That day,at age fifteen,i broke the national 16-year-old 400-freestyle record.
Back at Grandma's,i laid my head on her lap and told her about our great race.

我全身心投入游泳中已经有5个年头了,而我现在想要退出游泳这项运动,因为我实在怕了它.我这些年在所参与的每项游泳比赛中都是被授予“道德风尚奖（积极参与奖）”,这个奖的意义就是：“谢谢你的参与.你没有获得前三名,但我们总不能让你空手而归.”
在一次游泳比赛前,我决定将我要退出游泳队的消息告诉我的祖母.你要知道,我的祖母虽然是一个身材并不强壮的女人,但她甚至不用离开沙发上并且不用尖锐的声音来管理整个家庭事务.当我坐近她时,我会将头平躺在她的膝盖上以便让祖母抚摸.
当我告诉她我想要退出游泳的决定的时候,她将我的头推离她的膝盖,让我坐好并看着她,说：“孩子,记住下面这句话.一个放弃者永远不会成功,一个成功者也决不会放弃.祖母我从没有养育出失败者或者放弃者.你明天要去那个游泳比赛,要像我的孙女一样去游,听到了吗?”
我很害怕,以至于只能说出：“是的,我知道了.”
第二天我来到了游泳比赛现场,当我站上板子的时候,我注意到其他女生拿着紧身帽,游泳镜和整套游泳装备,她们只有一个目的,那就是击败我.
比赛开始了,我比以往更加用力地游.我注意到我和另一个人齐头并进,我想我们肯定轮流处在第八名的位置上,而我不愿意以最后一名结束比赛,所以我在最后的两百米更加努力.
我碰到了终点线,然后左右转头看那些击败了我的对手.但是我的旁边没有人.那一天,在我15岁的那一天,我打破了16岁年龄组400米自由泳的全国纪录.回到祖母家,我将头平躺在她的膝盖上,告诉她我们的激烈比赛.
一点一点打上去的...
