总结一下:
关于大家的摘录，大多数童鞋都选择了以下这段话，看来是最能引起大家共鸣的:你做什么事情，完全是你自己的选择，没有任何其他人可以左右你。你选择去做自己所热爱的事情，并且义无反顾。
What I mean is, I didn’t start running because somebody asked me to become a runner. Just like I didn’t become a novelist because someone asked me to. One day, out of the blue, I wanted to write a novel. And one day, out of the blue, I started to run— simply because I wanted to. I’ve always done whatever I felt like doing in life. People may try to stop me, and convince me I’m wrong, but I won’t change.
关于短语和用法，以下几个注意一下:
thow in the towel
out of the blue
这两个前面多次出现
take the plunge
no mean feat/achievement
at good/fast /steady clip
