一个月前，我听到了一个好消息：妈妈给我报名了羽毛球比赛，一个月后。我非常激动，期待着那一天的到来。
A month ago, I heard some good news: my mom signed me up for a badminton competition, one month later. I am very excited and looking forward to that day.
时间过得真快，转眼间就到了比赛那天。我和我的好朋友小明一起摩拳擦掌，跃跃欲试，胸有成竹的来到了比赛场地。不久后，开幕式开始了。随着一首嘹亮的国歌，五星红旗徐徐升起，比赛开始了。一场、两场、三场，许多组都比完了，但是还没有轮到我们。我和伙伴们在场下焦急的等着，怎么还不到我啊？看着场上的运动员挥舞着球拍，我心里越来越紧张，渐渐手心冒汗。在紧张时，我听见了裁判的一句：“40组上场。”
Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, it's the day of the competition. My good friend Xiao Ming and I rubbed our fists together, eager to try, and confidently arrived at the competition venue. Soon after, the opening ceremony began. With a resounding national anthem, the five starred red flag slowly rose, and the competition began. One, two, three games, many groups have finished, but it's not our turn yet. My friends and I are anxiously waiting outside the venue, why haven't we reached me yet? Watching the athletes waving their rackets on the field, I became increasingly nervous and my palms started to sweat. When I was nervous, I heard the referee say, 'Group 40 will come on stage.'
终于轮到我了。我给自己鼓鼓劲儿，自信的走上了场地，和对手一决高下。第一轮是对手发球，他又瘦又矮，也是自信满满。他先发了一个高球，我打给他了一个近球，“啪，啪，啪”清脆的击球声让我们燃起斗志。对手虽然瘦小，但灵活机敏，在球和拍之间灵活的跑动，羽毛球在空中划过一道道优美的弧线。战了几回合后，我赢了。进入了三十二强的比拼。
It's finally my turn. I encouraged myself and confidently walked onto the field to compete with my opponent. The first round is when the opponent serves, he is thin and short, and also full of confidence. He took a high shot first, and I hit him a close shot. The crisp sound of hitting the ball 'pop, pop, pop' ignited our fighting spirit. Although the opponent is thin and small, they are agile and quick witted, running flexibly between the ball and the racket, and the shuttlecock glides through beautiful curves in the air. After several rounds of fighting, I won. Entered the competition of the top 32.
下一场比赛开始了。场上明显比刚才少了许多人，我自信满满的在场下拉伸，等待裁判喊号，不久后，就到我上场了。这次的对手体型中等，不高的个子。这次我有点儿骄傲了，但俗话说“骄兵必败”，我输了这场比赛。
The next game has begun. There were significantly fewer people on the field than before, and I stretched confidently off the field, waiting for the referee to call out. Soon after, it was my turn to play. The opponent this time has a medium build and is not tall. I was a bit proud this time, but as the saying goes, 'pride leads to defeat', and I lost this game.
虽然我输了，但我懂得了“努力才是最重要的”和“骄兵必败”的道理，我希望我在下一次比赛中能一路过关斩将，再创辉煌。
Although I lost, I have come to understand the principles of 'hard work is the most important' and 'arrogance leads to defeat'. I hope to overcome obstacles and achieve new glory in the next competition.
