　 　 想知道 2022 年北京冬奥会的吉祥物“冰墩墩”和冬残奥会吉祥物 “雪容融”都有哪些寓意吗? 请阅读下文吧。 A smiling panda and a walking Chinese lantern are the mascots of the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics (残奥会) in Beijing. The panda, named Bing Dwen Dwen, is the Olympic mascot. Colourful circles around its face symbolize skating tracks. Bing, the Chinese word for “ ice”, shows purity and strength, while Dwen Dwen means sincerity, liveliness, and health. The choice of the iconic animal, considered the national treasure, is not a surprise to people in China. While many applaud Bing Dwen Dwen for its cuteness on social media, some are not favourably impressed by the lack of creativity in choosing a panda. The giant panda was one of the five mascots of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, and it was also the symbol for the Asian Games in Beijing in 1990. Based on a traditional red lantern, Paralympic mascot Shuey Rhon Rhon creates a cheerful atmosphere of the Chinese Lunar New Year, which will fall around the time of the Winter Games. It is sporting (穿戴) a yellow scarf, a circle of yellow doves around its head, and a traditional Chinese paper-cut. “Shuey” means snow in Chinese and “ Rhon Rhon ” means “ inclusiveness ” and “harmonization”, implying that the world civilizations communicate with each other and live in harmony. 【知识点击】 1. lantern n. 灯笼 2. symbolize vt. 象征 3. purity n. 纯洁 4. sincerity n. 诚意 5. iconic adj. 标志性的 6. scarf n. 围巾 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 􀪋 Section Ⅰ　 Listening and Speaking
