It was the final part of the 2016 World Triathlon Series①in Mexico．With just 700 metres to go，Alistair Brownlee was in third place②and his younger brother，Jonny，was in the lead③．[1]Alistair pushed himself towards the finish line in the burning heat，but as he came round the corner，he saw his brother about to fall onto the track④．[2] Alistair had to choose—brotherly love，or a chance to win the race

只是一位兄长
这是2016年在墨西哥举行的世界铁人三项系列赛的最后一程。距终点还有700米，阿利斯泰尔·布朗利位列第三，他的弟弟乔尼处于领先地位。阿利斯泰尔在酷热中奋力奔向终点，但就在他转过弯道时，却看到弟弟摇摇欲坠地要摔倒在跑道上。阿利斯泰尔必须做出选择——是要手足之情，还是要赢得比赛？
对阿利斯泰尔来说，如何选择显而易见。弟弟遇到了麻烦，他必须施以援手。阿利斯泰尔跑向乔尼，抓住他，并开始拖着他跑向终点。接着，阿利斯泰尔把乔尼推过终点线。这一举动使乔尼获得第二名，而他自己则位列第三。这是这场比赛的一个意料之外的结局，但阿利斯泰尔并不想与媒体讨论此事。他只想去探望被紧急送到医疗区的弟弟。
布朗利兄弟从小就接触铁人三项。“显然，当你的哥哥参加铁人三项时，你会觉得这很酷。”乔尼说道。阿利斯泰尔称，他们在训练的时候尽可能地互相鼓励。尽管偶尔会为一些“蠢事”争吵，阿利斯泰尔仍然觉得有个兄弟是种优势。“在我的一生中，我的弟弟总想在各个方面打败我。这对我来说是非常积极的动力。”
有数百万人目睹了这场比赛的结局，但对此也是众说纷纭：兄弟二人是应该因他们的行为被取消比赛资格，还是应该被高度赞扬？但是对阿利斯泰尔而言，他的决定很容易解释：“要是我撇下乔尼，妈妈肯定会不高兴的。”在那一刻，他不再是一名想赢得奖牌的运动员——他只是一位兄长。

Watched by millions，the ending to the race has divided opinions ： should the brothers have been disqualified or highly praised for their actions But for Alistair，his decision was easy to explain：“Mum wouldn't have been happy if I'd left Jonny behind ．” At that moment，he was no longer an athlete aiming for a medal —he was just a brother．
只是一位兄长
这是2016年在墨西哥举行的世界铁人三项系列赛的最后一程。距终点还有700米，阿利斯泰尔·布朗利位列第三，他的弟弟乔尼处于领先地位。阿利斯泰尔在酷热中奋力奔向终点，但就在他转过弯道时，却看到弟弟摇摇欲坠地要摔倒在跑道上。阿利斯泰尔必须做出选择——是要手足之情，还是要赢得比赛？
对阿利斯泰尔来说，如何选择显而易见。弟弟遇到了麻烦，他必须施以援手。阿利斯泰尔跑向乔尼，抓住他，并开始拖着他跑向终点。接着，阿利斯泰尔把乔尼推过终点线。这一举动使乔尼获得第二名，而他自己则位列第三。这是这场比赛的一个意料之外的结局，但阿利斯泰尔并不想与媒体讨论此事。他只想去探望被紧急送到医疗区的弟弟。
布朗利兄弟从小就接触铁人三项。“显然，当你的哥哥参加铁人三项时，你会觉得这很酷。”乔尼说道。阿利斯泰尔称，他们在训练的时候尽可能地互相鼓励。尽管偶尔会为一些“蠢事”争吵，阿利斯泰尔仍然觉得有个兄弟是种优势。“在我的一生中，我的弟弟总想在各个方面打败我。这对我来说是非常积极的动力。”
有数百万人目睹了这场比赛的结局，但对此也是众说纷纭：兄弟二人是应该因他们的行为被取消比赛资格，还是应该被高度赞扬？但是对阿利斯泰尔而言，他的决定很容易解释：“要是我撇下乔尼，妈妈肯定会不高兴的。”在那一刻，他不再是一名想赢得奖牌的运动员——他只是一位兄长。
谢 谢！
