比赛原文：
中国女排在此次奥运会上夺冠后，“女排精神” 再次成为走红的热词。人们一般认为所谓女排精神，就是拼搏、坚持、永不放弃等，似乎有了这种精神，便可在任何赛事中立于不败之地。但是，精神固然可以影响，却永远代替不了物质。正如女排教练郎平所说：“不要一赢球就谈女排精神，也要看我们努力的过程。女排精神一直在，但单靠精神不能赢球，还必须技术过硬。”

After the championship victory of Chinese women’s volleyball team at the Olympics, “the spirit of women’s volleyball” has once again become a trending catchphrase. People conveniently associate “the spirit of women’s volleyball” with notions of ferocity, tenacity and perseverance to such an extent that the phrase is taken as being virtually synonymous with a guaranteed victory. Although this ‘spirit’ does influence outcome, it cannot stand in for substance. In the words of the women’s volleyball coach Lang Ping “please don’t just attribute our success to the ‘spirit’ while neglecting our efforts. The spirit of women’s volleyball is with us at all times, but relying exclusively on it won’t win us matches, our technical abilities must also be beyond reproach.”

The fighting spirit of Chinese women’s volleyball team came back to public pview after China’s crowning at Rio. It is generally assumed that the so called fighting spirit contains the determination to fight, the perservance in hardships, and the unyieldingness to march on, and it seems as if the spirit could place Chinese Team no room for defeat. It matters indeed, however, nothing is comparable to the sweats that the players have shed. As their coach Lang Ping said, “When it comes to a gold medal, people always attribute it to the spirit while neglect the tough process we have been through. The fighting spirit of Chinese women’s volleyball team is always there, yet relying on the spirit alone will lead us to nowhere. Instead, it is the proficient techniques that count more.”

With the Chinese women’s volleyball team winning gold in Rio Olympic Games, “the spirit of the Chinese women’s volleyball team” becomes a popular term once again. People generally believe the spirit symbolizes fighting, perseverance and never giving up. It seems that with the spirit, you will never be defeated in any games. Admittedly, spirit has an influence on matter, but it can never take the place of it. As Lang Ping, head coach of the Chinese women’s volleyball team, said: “We should not ascribe each win to the spirit and downplay the hard training. The spirit is always there, but it alone cannot help you win the game. You must have perfect mastery of volleyball skills as well.”
