迈克尔·菲尔普斯历史是怎样创造的 　　2008年8月17日，一个奥运新纪录在北京水立方诞生――迈克尔?菲尔普斯夺得了第29届奥运会上自己的第八枚金牌，同时也将自己的奥运金牌总数增加到了14枚，创造了前无古人的历史。 　　很多人都将菲尔普斯的奇迹归功于其不可思议的体质，但熟悉他的人都知道其成功绝非偶然――除了天资过人，更少不了长期的艰苦训练。此外，家人的支持也是菲尔普斯取得成功的坚强后盾。下面让我们一起来看看这位年轻的游泳天才是如何创造历史吧。 　　 　　On August 10th, 2008, a few hours after Michael Phelps won his first gold and set his first world 　　record in Beijing, he called his mom. “It seemed quite unusual,” said Debbie Phelps, who was traveling back to her hotel with her daughters after watching Michael’s race. “He just wanted to hear our voices.
