“Other athletes are swimming, while he is flying!” “He is totally a swimming genius!” People who watched his games couldnt help exclaiming （驚呼）. His extraordinary （出色的） performance greatly surprised the world and was thought to be a legend（傳奇） in swimming history. He is just Michael Phelps, an American“superfish”, who got eight gold medals and broke seven world records in Beijing Olympics.

To many people, the 23-year-old, handsome, young man must have inherited（繼承） the gift for swimming from his father who was also an excellent swimmer. His coach（教練） found he was a rare swimming genius when he was young, for small Phelps could easily acquire（學(xué)到） some skills which other teenagers couldnt master. Besides, Phelpss exceptional（非同一般的） physique（體格） is said to be the most perfect figure for swimming. He is 1.87 meters tall, while his arms span 2.01 meters long. His much longer upper body, relatively short legs, big-size feet and hands are all advantageous （有利的） to swim.

However, any inborn advantage cant function （起作用） without acquired diligence（勤奮）. As we know, “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration （汗水）.” Accordingly, a “Genius” in fact is usually a talented person who has done all his or her homework. Phelps is just such a person. “Nobody is more diligent than me!” said Phelps. He said, and he did. Until now he still keeps the habit of getting up at 5 oclock in the morning to start training and never has a halt（停頓）. In the past seven years, he just didnt swim in only seven days. Obviously, it is the continuous （不間斷的）industry and endeavor （努力） that make Phelps get such remarkable achievements.

The glory （榮耀） of a champion （冠軍） is worth our envy, while how to be a champion is worth more our consideration （思考）. I believe we can gain some inspiration from the success of Phelps.

“其他運(yùn)動(dòng)員在游，而他在飛！”“他簡(jiǎn)直就是一個(gè)游泳天才！”觀看他比賽的人都情不自禁驚呼起來。他出色的表現(xiàn)令世界大為驚嘆，并且被認(rèn)為是游泳歷史上的傳奇。他就是邁克爾·菲爾普斯，一條來自美國(guó)的“飛魚”，在北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)上獲得了八枚金牌并且打破了七項(xiàng)世界紀(jì)錄。

對(duì)很多人來說，這個(gè)23歲的年輕帥小伙一定是繼承了他父親的游泳天賦，他父親曾經(jīng)也是一名優(yōu)秀的游泳運(yùn)動(dòng)員。在他小的時(shí)候他的教練就發(fā)現(xiàn)他是個(gè)罕見的游泳天才，因?yàn)樗茌p松地學(xué)會(huì)一些同齡人不能掌握的技巧。此外，菲爾普斯非同一般的體形也據(jù)說是適合游泳的完美身材。他身高1.87米，而雙臂伸展長(zhǎng)達(dá)2.01米。他比較長(zhǎng)的上身、相對(duì)較短的腿部以及大手大腳對(duì)游泳是極為有利的。

然而，沒有后天的勤奮，任何先天的優(yōu)勢(shì)都無法發(fā)揮作用。我們知道，“天才是百分之一的靈感加上百分之九十九的汗水?！毕鄳?yīng)地，一個(gè)“天才”實(shí)際上是一個(gè)有天賦的人已經(jīng)做了他應(yīng)該做的事情。菲爾普斯就是這樣一個(gè)人。他說：“沒有人比我更勤奮?！彼f了，并且做到了。直到現(xiàn)在他還保持著早上5點(diǎn)起床開始訓(xùn)練的習(xí)慣，并且從未停下來過。在過去七年里，僅僅有七天時(shí)間他沒有下水游泳。顯然，正是這不間斷的勤奮與努力讓菲爾普斯獲得了如此了不起的成就。

冠軍的榮耀值得我們羨慕，而如何成為冠軍更值得我們思考。我相信我們可以從菲爾普斯的成功中獲得某些啟示。
