He was running as hard as he could, but he realised that he was not strong enough to be a good marathon runner. In the distance he could just make out the shapes of the leading runners, getting further ahead every minute. 'You'll have to speed up if you're going to catch them,’ he thought to himself. 'Just go on, just keep going.' With every pace he could feel himself running out of stamina; he could hardly see the leaders now, and he could no longer think of winning. But he would not give up without a fight.這次文章中部分出現的片語：
