语篇翻译（一）课文注释Unit 2 ReadingThe Olympic GamesGood afternoon, students and teachers. As a member of the International Olympic Committee, I am delighted to①have been invited to your school to talk to you about the history and significance②of the Olympic Games. I'll share some interesting facts and stories with you, and then we'll have time for questions.Do you know when the ancient Olympic Games began? It was in the year 776 BC. They were held at Olympia in Greece every four years③, for almost 12 centuries, until AD 394.Some of the sports from the ancient Olympics are still seen today, such as the long jump, wrestling and running. At the ancient Olympics, by tradition④the athletes were all men and they had to compete wearing no clothes. Single women were allowed to take part in⑤their own competition⑥, at a separate festival in honour of Hera, the wife of the Greek god Zeus. Today, both male and female athletes from around the world can take part, no matter what nation they come from.The contemporary⑦Olympics were first held in 1896, in Athens. It was a Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin, who brought the Olympics back to life⑧. He dreamt that the Olympics would make it possible for people of all countries to live side by side⑨in peace⑩. Now people all over the world are helping to realize this dream⑪. Among them are many well-known athletes.Did you know that perhaps the most famous boxer of all time first came to public attention⑫during the 1960 Rome Olympics? He won the gold medal for the USA, under his birth name Cassius Clay. Afterwards, this young man went on⑬to win the World Heavyweight Boxing Championship in 1964 and later changed his name to the one we all know, Muhammad Ali. He returned to the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996 to light the Olympic flame at the opening ceremony⑭.Another sports star I would like to mention is Michael Jordan. Everyone knows of⑮his success in the NBA, but do you know that he helped the USA basketball team win the gold medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics? Jordan also returned to the Olympics after many years, but unlike Muhammad Ali, he was still competing for⑯ medals. At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Jordan won his second Olympic gold medal as a member of the so-called 'Dream Team'.Chinese athletes have also made important contributions⑰ to the Olympic Games. At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, the People's Republic of China returned to the Olympics after 32 years' absence⑱. I am sure the whole of China must have felt proud when Xu Haifeng won the first gold medal for his country. Deng Yaping, who won four Olympic gold medals in 1992 and 1996, is perhaps the greatest female table tennis player the world has ever seen. At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Liu Xiang excited⑲ people all over Asia when he became the first Asian to win the gold medal in the men's 110-metre hurdles.The Chinese led the way⑳at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, winning 51 gold medals. For the first time in history, the Chinese women's gymnastics team won the gold medal. However, the athlete that some people remember most was Zhang Ning, a former badminton champion. At the age of 33, she was much older than the other players. Yet, she hung on○21to win the gold medal in the final match.These are some of the Olympic athletes who have brought joy to people across the world with their attempts ○22to push○23the boundaries of human achievement. We are looking forward to○24 seeing more of them in future Olympic Games. Join me in wishing the Olympic Movement a successful future to match○25its past glory○26. Thank you. Now, are there any questions?课文注释①be delighted to do/to have done : 高兴去做某事/ 高兴做过某事②significance n. 意义；重要性be of significance =be significant③every four years每四年④by tradition照传统⑤take part in参加，参与⑥competition n. 竞争；比赛，竞赛compete vi. 竞争；比赛；对抗competitive adj. 竞争的；比赛的⑦contemporary n. 同时代的人；同时期的东西adj. 当代的；同时代的；属于同一时期的⑧bring…back to life 使复活⑨side by side并肩；一起；并排⑩in peace和平地；安静，宁静；安祥地⑪realize one’s dream 实现梦想⑫come to public attention引起公众关注⑬go on to do 继续做另一件事go on doing sth 继续做同一件事⑭at the opening ceremony在开幕式上; 在开幕典礼上⑮know of知道，了解…；听说过…⑯compete for为…竞争；为…比赛⑰made contributions to 为…做贡献⑱absence n. 没有；缺乏；缺席；不注意adj. 缺席的；缺少的；心不在焉的；茫然的be absent fromvt. 使缺席absent oneself from⑲excite vt. 激起；刺激…，使…兴奋excited adj. 兴奋的；激动的exciting adj. 令人兴奋的/激动的⑳lead the way 领先；带路○21hang on坚持下去；不挂断；握住不放○22with one’s attempt to do 尝试做某事○23push vt. 推动，增加；对…施加压力，逼迫；按；说服vi. 推进；增加；努力争取n. 推，决心；大规模攻势；矢志的追求○24look forward to (doing) sth 盼望/期待做某事○25match vt. 使比赛；使相配；敌得过，比得上；相配；与…竞争vi. 比赛；匹配；相配，相称；相比n. 比赛，竞赛；匹配；对手；火柴○26glory n. 光荣，荣誉；赞颂课文译文奥林匹克运动会老师们，同学们，下午好。

高中英语 Unit 2 The Olympic Games Period 2 Reading课后阅读
Unit 2 The Olympic Games Period 2 Reading课后阅读训练Ⅰ.阅读理解AThe Olympic Games are the greatest festival of sport in the world.Everyfour years,a hundred or more countries send their best sportsmen tocompete for the highest honours in sports.As many as 6,000 people takepart in over 20 sports.For the winners,there are gold medals andglory.But there is honour,too,for all who compete,win or lose.That is in the spirit of the Olympics—to take part is what matters.The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action.The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track.The custom is for the Greek team to march in first.For it was in Greece that the Olympics began.The team of the country where the Games are being held—the host country—marches in last.The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame.A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath(宣誓)on behalf of all the competitors.The judges and officials also take an oath.After the sportsmen march out of the stadium,the host country puts on a wonderful display.The competitions begin the next day.There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games.The rule is that there must be at least fifteen.The main events are in track and field,but it is a few days before these sports start.Each day the competitors take part in a different sport—riding,shooting,swimming,and cross-country running.Points are gained for each event.Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.More and more women are taking part in the Games.They first competed in 1900,in tennis and golf.【语篇概述】本文主要讲夏季奥运会的情况,包括运动员、裁判、开幕式、各大项目等。
