在學習、工作、生活中，大家總免不了要接觸或使用作文吧，作文是從內部言語向外部言語的過渡，即從經過壓縮的`簡要的、自己能明白的語言，向開展的、具有規範語法結構的、能為他人所理解的外部語言形式的轉化。還是對作文一籌莫展嗎？以下是小編整理的考研英語作文：The Origin of Sports，希望能夠幫助到大家。
when did sport begin? if sport is, in essence, play, the claim might be made that sport is much older than humankind, for , as we all have observed, the beasts play. dogs and cats wrestle and play ball games. fishes and birds dance. the apes have simple, pleasurable games. frolicking infants, school children playing tag, and adult arm wrestlers are demonstrating strong, transgenerational and transspecies bonds with the universe of animals - past, present, and future. young animals, particularly, tumble, chase, run wrestle, mock, imitate, and laugh (or so it seems) to the point of delighted ehaustion. their play, and ours, appears to serve no other purpose than to give pleasure to the players, and apparently, to remove us temporarily from the anguish of life in earnest.
some philosophers have claimed that our playfulness is the most noble part of our basic nature. in their generous conceptions, play harmlessly and eperimentally permits us to put our creative forces, fantasy, and imagination into action. play is release from the tedious battles against scarcity and decline which are the incessant, and inevitable, tragedies of life. this is a grand conception that ecites and provokes. the holders of this view claim that the origins of our highest accomplishments —liturgy, literature, and law —can be traced to a play impulse which, paradoically, we see most purely enjoyed by young beasts and children. our sports, in this rather happy, nonfatalistic view of human nature, are more splendid creations of the nondatable, transspecies play impulse.
