1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Lionel Messi is a goal machine and is often considered one of the best football players in the world. 1. There’re so many things to be learned from his successful story.

Messi was born in Argentina and comes from a poor family. Messi grew up very with his grandmother, so when she passed away, 2. he was in deep pain and decided to make his grandmother proud of him. At five, he started playing football for a local club and dreamed of becoming a professional football player. But that dream started to fall apart when he was told he got a growth disease. 3. This meant that he couldn’t grow very tall unless he received a treatment that cost $1,600 per month. His parents couldn’t afford it. But even though Messi was the shortest player in his team, his talent was so outstanding and soon he was noticed by the coach(教练) of Football Club Barcelona. The coach was amazed by Messi’s abilities and talent. 4. 他知道他天生就该踢足球 and soon offered Messi a contract(合同) that would change his life forever.

There is no doubt Messi is successful. He even has his own word which was added to the Spanish dictionary. The word is “inmessionante”, which means the greatest player of all time. 5. 但他的成功并非偶然 or from just luck. He worked really, really hard and had to give up many things to become who he is today. “I start early and stay late day after day, year after year. It took me 17 years and 114 days to become an overnight success”, Messi once said. So give everything you’ve got and start working on your dreams.
