“下来打羽毛球吧！”爷爷奶奶向我发出了邀请。“可是我不会啊！这一点也不简单！”我有些失落。当看着爷爷奶奶拿着拍子一下一下地挥动，球好像一只白色小鸟在空中飞来飞去时，我决定也要学会打球。
"Come down and play play badminton!" Grandparents invited me. But I don't know! It's not easy at all! "I felt a little disappointed. When I watched my grandparents swing the racket like a white bird in the air, I decided to learn how to play basketball too.
在学校的兴趣班里，我兴致勃勃地拿起了崭新的拍子，照葫芦画瓢地挥起拍子。正当我得意时，教练让我上去做示范。我更高兴了，趾高气扬地走上前去，做了一个自认为完美的挥拍，受到的却是全班的嘲笑和教练的批评：“这是一个典型的错误动作。拍面要对准前方，不然怎么打球？一刀劈上去吗？”我难受极了。打球看着轻松，但是打起来好不简单啊！
In the interest class at school, I enthusiastically picked up a brand new racket and waved it like a gourd and a gourd. Just as I was feeling proud, the coach asked me to go up and demonstrate. I was even happier as I walked forward arrogantly and made a swing that I thought was perfect. However, I was ridiculed by the whole class and criticized by the coach, saying, 'This is a typical mistake. The racket face must be aimed at the front, otherwise how can I play the ball? Can I hit it with one strike?' I felt extremely uncomfortable. Playing ball may seem easy, but it's really hard to play!
下了课，我失魂落魄地回了家。
After class, I went home in a daze.
走到小区外墙边，我不由地被眼前的景色吸引，这是多么美丽的一面“绿墙”啊！
Walking to the outer wall of the residential area, I couldn't help but be attracted by the scenery in front of me. What a beautiful "green wall" it is!
墙面被爬山虎笼罩，像是一片绿色的海洋。一阵风吹过，爬山虎的叶片随风舞蹈，好像唱着生命的赞歌。成千上百片绿叶在寒冷的冬天焕发着勃勃生机。他们没有肥沃的土壤，没有暖和的温室，没有附着于墙的大触角，可是他们活得多好！
The wall is covered by ivy, like a green ocean. A gust of wind blew by, and the leaves of the ivy danced with the wind, as if singing a hymn to life. Thousands of green leaves shine with vitality in the cold winter. They don't have fertile soil, warm greenhouses, or large tentacles attached to walls, but how well they live!
正当我沉浸于这美好之中，一阵寒风呼啸而过，带走了道旁树上的几片叶子，却没能带走死死抓住墙壁的爬山虎。
Just as I was immersed in this beauty, a gust of cold wind whistled past, taking away a few leaves from the trees by the roadside, but unable to take away the ivy that tightly held onto the wall.
也许奋斗，就是生命的真谛吧。
Perhaps struggle is the true essence of life.
想到这里，我返回了球场，找了一块没人的墙面，又练起了对墙垫球。球一次次地落在地上，被我一次次地立刻捡起，挥出……球没有喘息的机会，在墙面，木地板和拍子间来回飞。直到那一抹夕阳照在了墙上，我才意识到天色已晚，打道回府。
With this in mind, I returned to the stadium, found an empty wall, and started practicing playing against the wall. The ball fell to the ground time and time again, and I immediately picked it up and swung it out... The ball had no chance to catch its breath, flying back and forth between the wall, wooden floor, and racket. It wasn't until the sunset shone on the wall that I realized it was getting late and headed back home.
再次走过小区外墙边，晚风下的爬山虎被染成了橙红色，向我挥手，像是在给我鼓气。
Walking past the outer wall of the community again, the ivy in the evening breeze was dyed orange red and waved at me, as if cheering me on.
就这样，我度过了大半年奋斗的日子。当我接不到球时，我会想起爬山虎用小触手抓墙，奋力向上的样子；当我被兴趣班的同学嘲笑天赋甚低的时候，我会想起在寒风呼啸中，爬山虎牢牢地扒住墙面的形象；当我每次打球累得气喘吁吁时，我会想起爬山虎绿意盎然，不断攀爬的姿态。
So, I spent half a year struggling. When I can't catch the ball, I think of the ivy grabbing the wall with its little tentacles and struggling upwards; When I am mocked by my classmates in the interest class for my low talent, I think of the image of a ivy firmly clinging to the wall in the howling cold wind; When I am panting from playing ball every time, I think of the ivy's lush greenery and continuous climbing posture.
又是打球的一天。“杀球是什么？杀球是要把球往下压，你接球的时候拍面要朝下，才能把球往下压，像你这样，朝上打一个高远球，对手一个快拍打回来，你就措手不及了啊！”教练的教导声回荡在耳际。虽然拍面朝下压球是简单明白的道理，但我接球时不是打成高远球，就是压拍过重，让球重重地摔在前场的地板上。“调整！打球要根据形势变化！”我明白了，用心地判断、体会，不时调整拍面和位置，将拍面一会儿下调一点，一会儿再上调一点。
Another day of playing ball. What is a kill ball? Kill ball requires pressing the ball downwards. When you receive the ball, the racket face must be facing downwards in order to press the ball downwards. Like you, if you hit a high and far ball upwards, the opponent will quickly hit back, and you will be caught off guard! "The coach's instructional voice echoed in his ears. Although it is a simple and understandable principle to press the ball face down, when I receive the ball, I either hit it from a high distance or the pressure was too heavy, causing the ball to fall heavily onto the front court floor. Adjustment! When playing, you need to adjust according to the changing situation! "I understood and carefully judged and experienced, adjusting the racket face and position from time to time, lowering the racket face a little and then raising it a little.
当一个“天选之球”终于完美地从我的拍面反弹回去，擦网而过时，我一身的疲惫顿时消失殆尽，好像有了无尽的信心和力量，每一个细胞都在欢呼雀跃。
When a 'chosen ball of heaven' finally bounced back perfectly from my racket and passed by, my exhaustion disappeared instantly, as if I had endless confidence and strength, and every cell was cheering and cheering.
不知过了多少个日夜，我打球越来越轻松了，回首看看努力的时光，不禁感慨，原来每个人口中的“这样简单”的背后，都有不懈的奋斗啊！
I don't know how many days and nights have passed, but playing basketball has become easier and easier for me. Looking back at the time of hard work, I can't help but feel that behind everyone's "simplicity", there is relentless struggle!
