Ashrita
Furman
breaks
his
107th
Guinness
World
Record...
on
one
leg.
Ashrita
Furman
literally
hops
his
way
to
his
107th
Guinness
World
Record
at
the
Penang
Bird
Park,
Malaysia,
successfully
hurdling
the
record
for
the
fastest
mile
covered
on
a
single
leg.
Why
I
Break
Records
Ashrita
with
Sri
Chinmoy
As
a
kid
I
had
a
huge
fascination
with
the
exotic
places
and
people
listed
in
the
Guinness
Book
of
Records,
but
being
a
non-athlete,
I
never
imagined
ever
actually
getting
a
world
record
myself.
Years
later,
as
a
teenager,
I
became
interested
in
Eastern
spirituality
and
began
studying
meditation
with
Sri
Chinmoy.
Suddenly,
I
was
filled
with
an
inner
joy
and
a
seemingly
inexhaustible
energy.
Sri
Chinmoy
also
taught
me
about
his
philosophy
of
self-transcendence,
that
when
you
have
access
to
the
divine
power
we
all
have
within
us,
nothing
is
impossible.
Under
my
teacher’s
guidance,
I
eventually
learned
how
to
incorporate
my
newfound
energy
into
my
spiritual
life
while
pursuing
athletic
goals,
and
I
realized
that
it
was
time
to
fulfill
my
childhood
dream
of
becoming
a
Guinness
record-holder.
In
1979
I
set
my
first
record
by
doing
27,000
jumping
jacks,
and
it
was
such
a
thrill
that
I
immediately
began
training
for
the
next
record
and
I
haven’t
stopped
since!
I
have
also
been
fortunate
enough
to
travel
with
the
group
that
often
accompanies
Sri
Chinmoy
on
his
international
concert
tours
of
music
dedicated
to
world
harmony,
and
I’ve
had
the
opportunity
to
set
records
at
some
of
the
most
magnificent
wonders
of
the
world.

【词汇辩义】permit,
allow
这两个词都是“许可，允许”之意，用法正式；而且都表示有能力或权威去阻止的含义。
permit意为“准许，允许”，比allow更为正式，严肃，指有权允许的一方积极、明确地从正面允许或持肯定态度。例如1)

two
cities
was
in

permit
of

is
a
hole
to
permit

enter.
allow意为“许可，准许”，其实表达的意思是并不反对，不加阻止或客观条件的可行性，偏重“听任”，意义较消极。可用于复合结构，即allow
sb./sth.
to
do
sth.。常用词组：allow
for考虑到具体情况；allow
of
(no
delay/
no
dispute)许可，承认（刻不容缓，没有争论余地）。例如：1)
