Unit 6 Olympic Vow
第六单元奥林匹克誓言
A: Where are you heading?
你俩要去哪里？
D: Take a walk. We just had dinner. And you?
散散步，我们刚吃过晚饭。

M: Annie, do you know "Olympic Vow"?
Annie, 你知道奥林匹克誓言吗？
D: Mark, you should know what Annie is named by our class mates, an "Olympic Expert"!
马克，你应该知道Annie被同学称为什么吧，“奥运通”啊！
A: Don't be kidding. In fact, the oath was composed by Pierre de Coubertin. At the opening ceremony, an athlete of the host country recites the following, "In the name of all competitors, I promise that we will take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern us, in the true spirit of sportsmanship for the glory of sports and the honor of our teams."
不要开玩笑了。

其实，运动员宣誓誓词是由顾拜旦起草的。

在开幕式上，由主办国运动员宣读誓言：“我代表全体运动员宣誓，我保证我们参加奥林匹克运动会，尊重和遵守体育规则，发扬体育道德精神，为体育争光，为国家争荣誉。

”
M: Did it start form the 7th Games?
那是从第七届开始的吗？
A: Yes. Besides taking an oath by the athletes, the flag was raised from that time as well.
是的。

除了运动员宣誓外，会旗也是在这届奥运会上第一次升起的。

D: At that time, Belgium was destroyed during the WWI, and because of the lack of time, money and materials, the 1920 Olympics in Antwerp were not very impressive and not well documented. Anyhow, it set several No. 1 in the history of the Olympic Games.
那时，比利时在一战中遭到破坏，由于缺乏资金、时间和物资，1920年在安特卫普举行的那届奥运会不是很吸引人，也没有较好地文献记载。

但不管怎么说，它也创下了奥运史上的几个第一。

Unit 7 The Olympic Spirit
第七单元奥林匹克精神
J: Annie, do you know what is the Olympic Spirit?
Annie, 你知道什么是奥林匹克精神吗？
A: Is it mutual understanding, friendship, unity and fair play?
是不是相互了解、友谊、团结和公平竞争？
J: Yes, it is. Gao Jie, when did China's professional athletes come into being?
是的，就是那个。

高洁，中国职业运动员的产生是什么时候开始的？
G: At the present, there has not been a wording for professional athletes in China. This is because the Chinese modern athletic sports started rather late and the sports clubs are far from mature as the European and American countries.
从目前来看，中国尚未有职业运动员的说法。

因为，中国的竞技体育运动起步较晚，体育俱乐部也远没有欧美国家那样成熟。

A: The professional athlete are those who must observe the required rigorous treaty when they sign the contract and serve for the clubs, besides taking a generous sum of annual salary. In fact, although such sports management is beneficial to the promotion of the athletic sports level, its drawback is obvious, too. The outstanding athletes have to bear the annoyance that they are bought without any freedom by the employer.
欧美国家的职业运动员在俱乐部里签约服役，除了拿丰厚的年薪外，还得遵守苛刻的限定条约。

实际上，这样的体育经营虽然有利于促进竞技体育水平的提高，但是其弊端也是十分明显的。

优秀的运动员不得不忍受老板一次性买断自由的烦恼。

G: Some boxing events and free combat events, which blindly seek economic profit, have already deviated from the sports to a large extent. They seriouly violate the Olympic Spirit.
有些一味追求经济效应的拳击项目，自由搏击项目等，很大程度上已经偏离了体育精神。

他们严重违背了奥林匹克精神。

J: Perhaps the deficiency existing in athletic sports can be entirely supplemented from non-athletic events.
也许竞技体育存在的不足，完全可以从非竞技项目中得到补充。

A: Not certain. The negative effects brought by athletic sports is impossibe to get rid of entirely. Look, you! Stimulant, bribery and miscarriage of justice always puzzle the Olympic Spirit all the time.
不一定。

竞技体育带来的消极影响不可能彻底摆脱的。

你们看！兴奋剂、受贿、误判等，始终困挠着奥林匹克精神。

G: Don't worry. The Sydney Olympics is a watershed. Since its beginning, anti-doping has risen from traditional battle to the battle of biologic engineering.
不用担心了。

悉尼奥运会是一个分水岭，从它开始，反兴奋剂已从传统战升级为生物工程战。

A: It is the way. They abused the gold medal, and made the competition unfair.
就应该这样。

他们诬蔑了金牌，比赛也变得不公平了。

G: Therefore, someone compares those stimulants as a "cancer", are "underworld" and "the hacker of the sports community".
因此，有人把兴奋剂比喻为“毒瘤”，是“黑社会”，是“体坛黑客”。

A: It can't be more visualized! I hope it can give back pure Olympics to human beings.
再形象不过了!我希望能还给人类纯洁的奥运会。

Unit 8 Talking about the Olympic Flag
第八单元谈论奥运会旗
A: Talking of the Olympic Flag, what do you know about it?
说起了奥运会会旗，你们对它了解多少呀？
B:There will be a handing-over and taking-over ceremony in each closing ceremony of the Olympic Games. The mayor of the host city will give the flag to president of the IOC, and president will hand it to the mayor of the next host city.
每届奥运会的闭幕式上都有会旗的交接仪式，由奥运会主办城市市长将会旗交给国际奥委会主席，主席再将旗递交下届主办城市的市长。

C: But the flag raised at the opening ceremony of the Olympics is only a substitute. The host city treasures it after it receives the flag.
但在奥运会开幕式上升起的那面旗只是一面代用品，主办城市接旗后都把它珍藏起来了。

A: The flag was officially used on June 15, 1914. It was first raised at the celebration congress of the 20th anniversary restoration of the Olympics movement in Paris. Unfortunately, this Olympic flag was burned in the flames of WWI.
会旗正式使用是1914年6月15日，在巴黎为庆祝现代奥林匹克运动恢复20周年纪念大会上第一次升起。

不幸的是，这面会旗毁灭在第一次世界大战的战火中。

B: Then where does the flag we use now come from?
那我们现在用的那面会旗是从哪里来的呢？
A: The flag we use now was made by the Belgian Olympic Committee in 1920 when the Games were held in Antwerp. It was given to the International Olympic Committee as a gift, which has been used since then.
现在使用的会旗是1920年在比利时安特卫普举行奥运会时，比利时奥委会制作时，并且把它赠给了国际奥委会，一直沿用到现在。

B: It was passed down one games after another it became an "Heirloom".
这样一届一届传下去，就成了“传家宝”了。
