最近浙大一对双胞胎姐妹花（姐姐杜雪琪和妹妹赵冰晶）的事迹在网上被疯传之后，她们受到了一致的好评和赞赏。
On November 4, their university, based in the city of Hangzhou in east China’s Zhejiang Province, published an article on its website announcing that Du Xueqi had been admitted with an unconditional offer, whilst her sister Zhao Bingjing had won a government-funded scholarship.
11月4日，浙大在其网站上发表了一篇文章，宣布杜雪琪被无条件录取，而她的妹妹赵冰晶也赢得了政府资助的奖学金。
The news was widely reported by national media and attracted much attention from netizens. Du and Zhao are both former gymnasts. Whilst still at kindergarten, the pair were singled out by coaches from a nearby sports school scouting for talent.
这篇新闻被国内媒体广泛报道，引起了网友们的很多关注。杜雪琪和赵冰晶以前都是体操运动员。在上幼儿园的时候，附近一所体校寻找人才的教练就相中了她们俩。
In 2008, they joined China’s national team. Although they always wore big smiles in front of spectators, they sometimes wanted to shed tears under the high-pressure training.
2008年，两人进入了中国国家队。虽然她们总是在观众面前挂着灿烂的笑容，但有时也想隐藏高强度训练下的泪水。
It was the "sense of achievement gained in competitions" that drove them to overcome the hardship and stick it out, one sister recalls.
她们其中一人回忆说，是“从比赛中获得的成就感”使她们克服困难、并坚持下去。
During their sports career, they won many honorary titles including the all-round collective silver-medal during the Asian Artistic Gymnastics Championships for Children and Teens. They also earned the all-round collective gold during the National Artistic Gymnastics Championships of China and at the Chinese Undergraduates Artistic Gymnastics Championships.
在她们的体育生涯中，两人赢得了许多荣誉称号，包括亚洲艺术体操锦标赛儿童和青少年组全能集体银牌。她们还获得过中国国家艺术体操锦标赛和中国大学生艺术体操锦标赛的全能集体金牌。
After retiring from the national team, the pair applied to Zhejiang University to major in sports training. Inferior to their peers academically, but eager to do well, they put in great efforts in their studies, especially in English which they began almost from scratch.
在从国家队退役之后，两姐妹进入浙大主修运动训练。尽管在学业上不如同龄人，但是她们渴望做得更好，她们在学习上付出了巨大的努力，尤其是在英语方面，两人几乎是从零开始。
Aside from taking part in some performances at night, they spent all their spare time taking tutorial classes and doing homework. In addition, they also hired a foreign English teacher to give them individual tutoring.
除了在晚上参加一些表演外，两人把她们所有的业余时间都花在了补习班和做家庭作业上。此外，她们还聘请了一位外籍英语老师给她们个别辅导。
Gradually, they not only caught up with other students but stood out amongst them, said a spokesperson from the university.
浙大一位发言人表示称，渐渐地，她们不仅赶上了其他同学，还在他们中间脱颖而出。
