The famous person I am going to tell you about is Li Ning, a retired Chinese gymnast, billionaire entrepreneur, and the founder of the eponymous sportswear company Li-Ning. He was also the final torch relay runner at the 2008 Summer Olympics held in Beijing and ignited the cauldron in the Bird’s Nest stadium.

我要告訴你的運(yùn)動員是李寧，一位退役的中國體操選手，十億富翁，并且還是同名運(yùn)動公司-李寧的創(chuàng)始人。他也是2008年北京夏季奧運(yùn)會火炬接力的最后一棒，并點(diǎn)燃了鳥巢體育館的主火炬。

I first heard about his name when I watched a gymnastics competition with my father. After seeing the Chinese athlete make a mistake in the rings and lose the medal, he said nothing like this would happen if Li Ning were on the court. This article is from Laokaoya website. He then told me about his glorious career. In 1982, he won six of the seven medals awarded at the sixth World Cup Gymnastic Competition, earning him the title “Prince of Gymnastics.” He then procured six medals again at the 1984 Summer Olympics.

我第一次聽說他的名字是在跟我父親一起看體育比賽的時候。在見到中國運(yùn)動員在吊環(huán)項目上失誤，進(jìn)而痛失獎牌之后，他說如果李寧在場的話就不會發(fā)生這樣的事情。他隨后告訴我這個人光輝的職業(yè)生涯。1982年，他贏得第六屆世界體操錦標(biāo)賽七枚獎牌中的六枚，為自己贏得體操王子的稱號，隨后他又在1984年的夏季奧林匹克運(yùn)動會上再次贏得六枚獎牌。

His legend continues after he retired from competition in the 1980s. He founded a company in his own name, selling sports footwear, apparel, and accessories. After thirty years of development, his firm has grown into one of China’s most prominent sports goods manufacturers and directly competes with international brands like Nike and Adidas. He has sponsored a wide range of Chinese sports games, both renowned and unknown ones, and employed many retired athletes to guarantee their basic life needs.

他的傳奇故事在20世紀(jì)80年代退役之后得以延續(xù)。他用自己的名字成立了一家公司，售賣運(yùn)動鞋、衣服和配件。在30年的發(fā)展之后，他的公司已經(jīng)成長為中國最著名的運(yùn)動用品生產(chǎn)商之一，并直接與阿迪、耐克等國際品牌競爭。他贊助了各種各樣的知名或者不知名的中國運(yùn)動比賽，并雇傭了許多退役運(yùn)動員，為他們提供基本的生活保障。

I admire him because of his unparalleled achievement as an athlete and a businessman. Until now, no other gymnast’s accomplishment can match his record, let alone achieve success in the competitive business world.

因為他作為運(yùn)動員和商人所取得的無可比擬的成就，我很佩服他。直到現(xiàn)在也沒有其他體操運(yùn)動員的成就能夠與他匹敵，更不用說在商界取得成功了。
