Answer 1

分析 如今，輪滑運動既簡單又有趣..但是，很久以前，該項運動并不那么簡單．在1750年之前，還不存在滑冰這種想法．這個運動的出現(xiàn)源于一個叫Merlin的樂器制作人．在業(yè)余時間，他喜歡拉小提琴．Merlin是一個擁有夢想的人，人們都叫他夢想家．一天，他收到一份邀請參加一個音樂舞會．他很高興、很激動．隨著舞會時間的靠近，Merlin開始思考怎樣讓自己在舞會上華麗的進場．他有了個主意．他想如果他能滑著進場，一定能吸引很多觀眾．
　　Merlin試了很多讓自己滑起來的方法．最后他決定在每只鞋的下面安兩個輪子．這就是第一雙旱冰鞋．Merlin對他的發(fā)明感到非常自豪，并且想象著一邊站在輪子上進場一邊拉小提琴的情景．舞會的那天晚上，Merlin拉著小提琴滑進場．每個人都驚訝地看著他．但是有個問題，Merlin沒辦法停下來，他滑啊滑，突然沖向掛在墻上的一面大鏡子．鏡子掉下來摔成了碎片，人們很長時間都忘不了Merlin的這次華麗的進場．
