星期五下午，学校要举行“奥数比赛”，同学们自愿参加，有获奖的可能，规定获奖者必须是满分，虽然说得一百分很难，但是一听说有奖，全体同学都想报名参加。
On Friday afternoon, the school is going to hold an "Olympic Mathematics Competition". The students are willing to participate in the competition. There is a possibility of winning the prize. It is stipulated that the winners must have full marks. Although it is difficult to get 100 points, all the students want to sign up for the competition as soon as they hear about the prize.
突然我们班的“小记者”把大家都拦了下来，他大声宣讲：“同学们千万不要报名，据内部人士透露，今天的奥数题太难了!大家试想，如果你报了名，再考不出个好成绩，不被老师批死才怪呢?”
All of a sudden, our class's "little reporter" stopped us all, and he said loudly: "students must not sign up, according to insiders, today's Olympic math problem is too difficult! Let's imagine, if you sign up, you can't get a good result again, and you can't be blamed by the teacher?"
听了此番言论，同学大都退缩了。此时，只有我在左右为难，经过再三考虑，我决定：明知山有虎，偏向虎山行!
After hearing this, most of the students flinched. At this time, only I was in a dilemma. After careful consideration, I decided: knowing that there are tigers in the mountain, I would prefer to go to tiger mountain!
报名结束了，全校只有十名同学参加。经过一个小时的时间，考试终于结束了。过了几天，成绩公布了，我只考了91分。
The registration is over. There are only ten students in the school. After an hour, the exam is over. After a few days, the results were announced. I only got 91 points.
看到别人获奖后的高兴样子，我有点儿失落。可是反过来一想，失败乃成功之母，人生不可能都是一帆风顺的。人是在挑战中生活，在竞争中生存，只有尝试才会有机遇，只有敢于挑战，才会走向成功。
I'm a bit disappointed to see how happy others are after winning the prize. But on the other hand, failure is the mother of success, life can not be smooth sailing. People live in challenges and competition. Only when they try can they have opportunities. Only when they dare to challenge can they succeed.
