中国女排在五局激战输给俄罗斯奥运队后，濒临被淘汰出2020东京奥运会的边缘。
📒 精读解析：
TE：Today, even as covid-19 rages across poorer countries, the rich world is on the verge of a post-pandemic boom. （20210829）
*除了这个表达，我们还可以用on the edge of 来表达“在……边上”

[例句] Their economy is on the edge of collapse.他们的经济濒临崩溃。

3、ROC为什么这次不是以俄罗斯的身份比赛，而是用ROC，我们之前的推文已经讲过了。因为俄国被世界反兴奋剂机构禁赛，所以运动员们只能另起炉灶，错过的朋友们记得点击看一下之前这篇推送。朱婷手腕受伤，还挺严重，看外媒报道
4、Five-setSet这里指 〔网球等的〕一盘；
〔排球等的〕一局，在这场比赛里一共打了5局，所以是five-set

精读原文
She played only sparingly in an opening loss to Turkey, getting uncharacteristically subbed out in both the second and third sets.

（指人的行为）非典型的；非通常的；表现奇怪的
*此处指一个人的行为跟往日大相径庭，一点也不像平日，也就是说当时朱婷的表现跟往日的自己比非常uncharacteristic。相比于翻译，这个词更推荐大家意会，然后记住。
3、Sub out :

Lang then told her players to walk out with their heads high despite losing once again. “There are losses and wins in sports,” Lang said. “You can’t get that down if you just lose a match.”

郎平随后告诉她的球员，尽管再次输球，但也要昂首挺胸走出去。体育比赛有输有赢，只是输掉了一场比赛，不能就此消沉。
