　　Track Star

　　田径明星

　　No one tread on Guy Spencer. He was the star of the high school track team and predicted to win a gold medal in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing! He had already broken numerous high school records and now he was moving into collegiate sports where he would be trained and groomed for further greatness! Even there, at a higher level, he was a star! Other runners who were treading on his heels never stood a chance. Guy was just too fast.

　　He was also too fast on the road. The police knew him well for speeding. He also frequently drove through traffic lights and ignored traffic signs. But they never gave him a traffic ticket, they just warned him repeatedly, told him to keep winning track meets and watch his train of thought so that he would drive carefully. They treated him as someone who walked on air.

　　Because of this preferential treatment, Guy Spencer was transformed into an absolutely arrogant and selfish man! And he traded on his public image to make a lot of money! Cards with his picture were soon traded in for hundreds of dollars, even as millions wore shoes with his name on it!

　　由于受到这样的优待，盖伊·斯宾塞变成了一个极端傲慢自私的人!而且他利用他的公众形象大把捞钱!很快印有他照片的名片可换数百美元，恰如数百万人穿的鞋上有他的名字!

　　And he traveled wherever he wanted. He even had his own personal travel agent who managed his traveler's checks wherever he went! And he would have storms of reporters present even if he were just transferring from one plane to another!

　　他想去哪儿就去哪儿。他甚至还有他自己的私人旅行代办人，到哪里都由这位代办人管理他的旅行支票!哪怕只是转一下机，记者们都会蜂拥而至!
