（单词翻译）

No race was ever won in the first corner, but many have been lost there

语音讲解

今日发音练习重点：

1. won发音同one，不是“腕”

2. race/s/ was/z/

言之有物

1. race noun. 比赛

win a race 赢得比赛

The real purpose of running isn't to win a race; it's to test the limits of the human heart.

跑步真正的目的不是为了赢得一场赛事而是在于试炼人心的极限。

2. corner noun. 弯道

in the first corner 在第一个弯道

I lost a position when the lights went out and another one in the first corner.

我在发车时丢掉了一个位置，接着到了第一个弯道，我又下降了一位。

同样适用于滑冰等竞技运动比赛中的弯道

词链儿拓展：around the corner 即将来临/位置很近

That ain't something you can find just around the corner. 好朋友不是那么容易找到的。

Apparently¹ she lives just around the corner from you. 很明显，她和你很合适。（下图字幕有误）

Good times are just around the corner. 好时光即将到来。

活学活用

请用 around the corner 随意造句
