Outstanding Swimming Twins
The hook
这是巴黎奥运会女子花样游泳双人决赛(the Olympic Women's
Synchronised Swimming pairs finals)。27岁的王柳懿和王芊懿是一对耀眼的双
胞胎。她们会赢得一块奖牌吗？
The meat
她
美，最终赢得了金牌。然而，在上次东京奥运会前夕
，王柳懿因伤无法参加奥运会的选拔和比赛，王芊懿也与金牌失之交臂。但
她们彼此鼓励，一起克服挑战，不断寻找方法来改进和提升自己的表现。最
终成为了国家的骄傲。
The summary
正如她们所说，尽管偶尔会为一些“愚蠢的事情”争吵，她们仍然觉得
有个姐妹是一种优势。“我们总是互相竞争，相互合作。这是一股非常积极
的动力。”
Wang Liuyi and Wang Qianyi, 27, are dazzling twins in the women's
synchronised swimming pairs final at the Paris Olympics. Will they win a gold
medal
Their performance was so perfect that they won the gold medal.
However, on the eve of the last Tokyo Olympic Games, Wang Liuyi was
unable to participate in the Olympic selection and competition due to injury,
and Wang Qianyi also missed the gold medal. But they encourage each other,
overcome challenges together, and constantly look for ways to improve and
enhance their performance. Eventually they became the pride of the country.
Just as they s ay, despite arguments over "stupid things" now and then,
they still find having a sister is an advantage. "We always compete with each
other and cooperate with each other. It's an enormously positive force.”
