He set up an Olympic standard for love: encouragement mingled with good humor, quiet gratitude, perceptivity, and sincerity . In the hard training sessions, I could always count on being encouraged by his amusing stories and sense of humor. However, Nikolai never babied me.

" 8 故事通常到這兒就結(jié)束了.但有一次后來(lái)我們知道那天是他結(jié)婚25周年紀(jì)念日他穿著一件舊的毛衣,很自豪地站著,微笑著輕聲說(shuō)道:"告訴你們,我可是在26歲那年才第一次親吻女孩子.她后來(lái)就和我結(jié)了婚." 9 不管他是不是懂得浪漫,尼克萊知道什么是愛(ài).他以一貫的幽默,默默的感恩,敏銳的感覺(jué)和真誠(chéng)的態(tài)度為愛(ài)設(shè)立了奧林匹克般的標(biāo)準(zhǔn).即使在我結(jié)束了滑雪生涯之后,我仍一直努力去達(dá)到這個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn).10 但他又從不嬌慣我.二月里的一天,我頭很疼,感到十分疲倦.我在一片空地上遇見(jiàn)了了他,大概在寒風(fēng)中的雪地里滑了十五分鐘后,我趕上了他,有點(diǎn)小題大做地說(shuō):"嘿,尼克萊,我感覺(jué)我要死了." 11 "如果活到一百歲,人人都會(huì)死的," 他對(duì)我的痛苦無(wú)動(dòng)于衷,態(tài)度堅(jiān)決地接著說(shuō):"但你現(xiàn)在必須滑,滑,再滑."12 在滑雪板上,我照他說(shuō)的去做.但在其他事情上我會(huì)反抗他.在一次經(jīng)費(fèi)并不寬裕的滑雪露營(yíng)活動(dòng)中,他讓我們十個(gè)人擠在一個(gè)單身漢住的芬蘭式屋子里.第一天我們醒來(lái)時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)尼克萊正在做早餐.然后我們坐在臨時(shí)拼湊起來(lái)的椅子上,圍著張小小的牌桌,用勺子很快地吃完早飯.吃完后,尼克萊把摞起來(lái)的油膩膩的碗向我和我唯一的另一個(gè)女隊(duì)友前一推,專斷地說(shuō):"女孩子們,現(xiàn)在去洗碗吧!" 13 我把餐巾往地上一扔,向他罵道:"讓該死的男孩子們?nèi)ハ窗? 這不公平!" 他沒(méi)再讓我去洗碗,也沒(méi)對(duì)我的大發(fā)脾氣顯得太在意.他只在滑雪時(shí)才顯露出強(qiáng)烈的情感.14 訓(xùn)練的時(shí)候,他會(huì)跟著我們邁步的節(jié)奏大聲發(fā)出指令:"對(duì),就這樣,一二三,一二三." 我祖父的一個(gè)好朋友一位上了年紀(jì)的女士看了尼克萊帶我訓(xùn)練的錄像帶后問(wèn)道:"他也教舞蹈嗎 " 15 在訓(xùn)練時(shí),我一刻不停地糾正著尼克萊指出的錯(cuò)誤.每完成一個(gè)動(dòng)作,我都會(huì)問(wèn)他自己是否有了進(jìn)步.16 "是的,還行.但如果膝蓋能屈得更快些就更好了." 17 "可我滑得夠快了嗎 " 我堅(jiān)持問(wèn)他. 18 最后他會(huì)皺起眉頭說(shuō):"你得無(wú)數(shù)次地重復(fù),動(dòng)作才能達(dá)到完美." 他提醒我"必須有耐心",言語(yǔ)之間流露出"我已經(jīng)告訴過(guò)你無(wú)數(shù)次了"的意思.19 尼克萊的耐心和我的勤奮使我在全國(guó)名列第四,并開(kāi)始為奧運(yùn)會(huì)季前賽做準(zhǔn)備.但后來(lái)我沒(méi)能被選拔參加2002年奧運(yùn)會(huì).20 去年夏天,我回去拜訪尼克萊.他給我沏了茶······還自己洗了碗!我們坐在沙發(fā)上聊天.懷念起前一年的奧林匹克隊(duì),我一時(shí)沉默,回想起自己曾經(jīng)獲得的一切很重要的一點(diǎn)就是我和這個(gè)穿著頗具熱帶風(fēng)情襯衫,個(gè)子不高的男人之間形成了并不張揚(yáng)但又牢不可摧的紐帶.21 尼克萊教會(huì)我即使需要無(wú)數(shù)次的努力,也要有勇氣,熱情和嚴(yán)格的紀(jì)律來(lái)堅(jiān)持下去.他還教會(huì)我為了能在這世界上生活一輩子而預(yù)先心存感激,并每天提醒自己:即便面臨許多挑戰(zhàn),"現(xiàn)在心里有的必須是愛(ài),愛(ài),愛(ài)."
