参与了游戏。

discussion 作名词, 它是由动词discuss 加后缀-ion而构成的, 意为“讨论; 商讨”。

2. And I think the Giant’s Causeway is the most fantastic natural wonder.
我认为巨人之路是最神奇的自然奇观。

维多利亚瀑布位于非洲赞比西河中游、赞比亚与津巴布韦接壤处，是世界上最壮观的瀑布之一。

瀑布上的水雾形成的彩虹景色十分迷人，瀑布的声响可在数公里处听到。

因此，当地人称之为“莫西奥图尼亚”，意为“霹雳之雾”。

但是，在我看来，人造奇观比自然奇观更激动人心。

Who, in your opinion, is the best football player in the world today?
在你看来，谁是当今世界上最好的足球运动员？
