As we parted, I breathe a small, happy sigh of relief. And it’s not because she thinks the organizing is improving. It’s because I realized at the Rio Olympics, I can meet people like her, so willing to help and fun to talk to. I walked toward the fencing arena’s ticket scan. “Fencing?” the lady there asked before I even get to her and I nod, “OK, then you’re in the right place. We’ve been getting a lot of basketball people, but basketball is not here!”
我们道别后,我松了口气,很开心。不是因为她说的秩序正在改善,而是因为我发现,在里约奥运会上我能遇到像她这样的人,真心愿意帮助他人且风趣善谈的人。我向击剑馆的门票扫描处走去。“看击剑比赛吗?”迎面一位小姐在我还没走到的时候就开始问我,我点点头,“那就好,你来对了地方!我们这之前来了好多篮球观众,但篮球比赛并不在这里!“
She laughed at her own words and let me in. “Have fun!” she shouted behind me. “Thanks!” I shouted back and smiled. At the end of the day, you shouldn’t forget the bright side. It’s hard to deny that the Rio Olympics are not very orderly, but it’s also hard to deny the people’s affability. Without the friendly volunteers and welcoming Brazilians, things could be much worse. While Rio’s missteps often stick out in your memory, don’t forget all the times you talked to smiling volunteers who wanted to help you the best they could. Don’t forget the hospitality of South Americans. When my plane takes off back to Shanghai and I see the lights of Rio de Janeiro blinking, I know it’s the people I met at Rio that I’m really going to miss.
