10、(或事物)give up放弃；投降参考译文活着的传奇来帮助我们选出一些“体育界的活传奇”吧。他们必须是所在运动项目上的高手，并且是他人学习的楷模。以下是我们首批遴选出的两位传奇人物。郎平作为一名运动员，郎平为她的祖国赢得了诸多荣誉。作为一名教练，她带领中国女子排球队在世界锦标赛和奥运会赛场上屡获殊荣。作为个人，郎平深受国内外球迷的喜爱。当中国队备战2015年世界杯时，她的决心受到了考验。由郎平一手打造的团队正处于崩溃的边缘。最优秀的队员中有一人受伤了，而且队长也因心脏问题离队。损失两大主力队员是个巨大的挑战，但是郎平没有气馁。她曾面临过各种困难，她知道只要她这些年轻的球员们齐心协力，就能获胜。
