16、nglish. Alistair 和Jonny 是兄弟。他们在墨西哥参加2016年世界铁人三项系列比赛。在最后的700中，Alistair是第三名，Jonny处于领先地位。当Alistair尽他最大的能力跑向终点线时，他看到他的弟弟将要摔倒在跑道上。 虽然他们会因为一些愚蠢的事情争吵并且弟弟也总是努力在任何事上打败他，但是在他心中，他们仍然是兄弟。所以他没有选择只能跑向弟弟，抓住他并把他推向终点线。最终，Jonny排第二，Alistair排第三。 很多人对此有有不同的观点：应该取消兄弟俩的资格呢还是赞扬他们的行为？不同的人有不同的观点，但是依我看，我认为我们应该高度赞扬他们的行为。因为，对于我而言，家庭总是优先！注意时态！
