别拿年龄当借口Don't Take the Age As an Excuse

 When I was small, I fell in love with tennis, so I like to watch tennis match so much. Today, the tennis players have extended¹ their career² time, before, most of them will retire³ around 30 years old, because it is old enough for an athlete. But now, we can see many tennis players still continue their career after they are 30 years old, such as Roger Federer and Serena Williams. Both of them are keeping the top situation, they are not young enough, but they still the best ones. The age is not the excuse for people to stop moving on, some may say he can’t do well because he is not young enough, in my opinion, it is bullshit. It is never too late to learn, the horrible⁴ thing is people have given up the chance to try. So let’s take action, no more excuse.

当我很小的时候，我爱上了网球，因此我很喜欢看网球比赛。今天，网球运动员已经延长了他们的职业生涯时间，在之前，大部分网球运动员会在30岁左右退休，因为那对运动员来说是足够老的了。但是如今，我们可以看到很多网球运动员仍然在继续他们的职业生涯，即使已经过了30岁，就像费德勒和小威廉姆斯。他们两个都保持在高水准，他们不再年轻，但是他们仍然是最好的。年龄不是给人们拿来停止前进的借口，一些人会说他不能做好，因为他不再年轻，在我看来，那是胡扯。学习从来都不会晚，可怕的是人们已经放弃了尝试的机会。因此让我们行动起来，无需借口
