We are a developing country, it is said; after all, it is not just your eye against his, your legs against hers, but what you can do against their trainer, their running shoe, their ergodynamic costume, their titanium archer’s bow. But those rationales won’t do: other developing countries, from Jamaica to Ethiopia, regularly rake in the medals.
有人说，我们是发展中国家；毕竟，这不仅仅是你的目光对抗他的目光，你的腿对抗她的腿，但是，你要做的是，对抗他们的教练，他们的跑鞋，他们的缓动功效服装，以及他们的钛合金装备。但是，这些理由并不成立：从牙买加到埃塞俄比亚的其它发展中国家，通常都能快速得奖。
