Everybody likes a winner， and there are always people ready to cheer for a good winner. But who has ever heard a song for the man who comes in second？ So this is in praise of the almost winner， the nearly champion(冠軍)， the next to the biggest， the second best. This is the song of Mister Two.

You hear unflattering(不討好人的) names for Mister Two. “Alsoran”， they call him， and “runner??up”， names that make you think of a fellow who couldn’t quite make it. Don’t let that fool you. Ask the winner of any race how good a man Mister Two is. He will tell you it’s Mister Two who made him run so fast， Mister Two is always threatening to overtake and pass him.

Ask the salesman who won the contest and what kept him looking for extra order. Ask the directors of the big company why they keep changing their product， seeking the new equipment， the added advantage. What drives them？ What keeps them going？ It’s the salesman with nearly as many orders. It is the company with the product almost as good. It’s Mister Two.

In this country， we’re proud of the quality of our champions. Our big men come very big. Our fast men run very fast. Our wise men are the wisest and our greatest men are the greatest that a country could hope to be blessed with. And why is that？ It is Mister Two that makes the race always open and everybody can run. So this is for you， Mister Two. This is your song. This is for all the days you tried for first， and came in second. It’s for the nights when you wonder if you ought to go on trying， since nobody seems to notice. . .

We notice， Mister Two. We know the score. Winner or not， you’re a natural champion. There couldn’t be a race without you， Mister Two.
