The Olympic Games
Every four years, thousands of highly trained and talented athletes gather together in the spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play, ready to test their abilities against each other in the hope of being recognized as the best of the best. This is the Olympics—an extraordinary sporting event that was first celebrated about 3,000 year ago.
每过四年,成千上万名训练有素、天赋过人的运动员,本着友谊、团结和公平竞争的精神聚集在一起准备互相较量,希望能成为举世公认的顶尖选手。这就是奥运会——一场可以追溯到约 3000 年前的非凡的体育赛事。
Para.1
____________________________________________________________
The ancient Olympic Games began in the year 776 BCE. During the early Games, only Greek men were allowed to participate. They competed in such events as boxing, running and the long jump. The ancient Olympic Games were held at Olympia in Greece every four years for almost 12 centuries, until they eventually died out around the year 393.
古代奥林匹克运动会始于公元前 776 年。早期的奥运会只允许希腊男性参赛。他们的竞赛项目包括拳击、赛跑和跳远。古代奥林匹克运动会每四年在希腊的奥林匹亚举办,持续了近 12 个世纪,直到公元 393 年前后才最终停办。
Para.2
More than 1,500 years later, however, the Games rose again.The modern Olympics were first held in 1896, in Athens. It was a Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin, who brought the Olympics back to life. His dream was that the Olympics would help people of different racial origins and from different cultures live side by side in peace. For over a century, people from diverse backgrounds have made joint efforts to help realize Coubertin’s dream.
然而 1500 多年后,奥运会旧火重燃。1896 年,第一届现代奥运会在雅典举办。一位名叫皮埃尔 · 德 · 顾拜旦的法国人使奥运会重获生机。他的梦想是借助奥运会让不同种族、不同文化的人们和平地生活在一起。一个多世纪以来,来自不同背景的人们共同努力,帮助实现顾拜旦的梦想。

Another sportsperson that should be applauded is Jessica Ennis-Hill. Her story is a remarkable example of how hard work and devotion can lead to sporting excellence. A former track and field athlete from the UK, she won an Olympic gold medal in her home country in 2012. As if that were not enough, she returned to the Olympics and won a silver medal in 2016, just two years after giving birth to her first child. In an interview she revealed that the secret of her consistent good performance was the training that she never missed.
另一位值得称赞的运动员是杰西卡 · 恩尼斯 - 希尔。她的故事为我们出色地示范了如何通过勤奋和专注取得优异的体育成绩。作为一名英国的前田径运动员,2012 年,她在自己的祖国赢得了一块奥运金牌。但是她仿佛认为那还不够,2016 年,在生下第一个孩子仅仅两年后,她又重返奥运赛场并斩获一枚银牌。她在采访中透露,自己维持良好表现的秘诀在于从不缺席训练。

The 2008 Beijing Olympics called on the whole world
to join in the Olympic spirit and build a better future for humanity with the slogan“One World, One Dream”. In addition to hosting the Olympics for the first time, China also ranked first in the medal table. This success is truly remarkable if you consider that just 24 years before, at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Xu Haifeng won our country’s first-ever gold medal. Since then the upward trend for Chinese sport has been unstoppable.
2008 年北京奥运会以“同一个世界,同一个梦想”为口号,号召全世界共享奥运精神,为人类共建美好未来。中国不仅是第一次举办奥运会,更是在奖牌榜上位列第一。这份成功着实令人瞩目,考虑到仅仅 24 年前,许海峰才在 1984 年洛杉矶奥运会上为我们国家摘得了史上第一块金牌。从那时起,中国体育的上升
势头就不可阻挡了。
