That i would mention only one thought that comes to me as a listener - in : the riders in race do not stop short when they reach the goal , there is a little finishing canter before coming to a standstill , there is time to hear the kind voice of friends , and to say to oneself , the work is done
作为听众，我只想讲讲我的一个想法：比赛中的骑手不是一到终点就即刻停步，他还有一阵小跑，还有时间倾听朋友们的亲切话语，还有时间告诉自己，行程结束了。
