话说奥运 - 黑馬的日志

会徽说明
申办会徽由奥运五环色构成，形似中国传统民间工艺品的“中国结”，又似一个打太极拳的人形。图案如行云流水，和谐生动，充满运动感，象征世界人民团结、协作、交流、发展，携手共创新世纪；表达奥林匹克更快、更高、更强的体育精神。

Emblem
The emblem resembles a person doing "taiji" (Tai Ch'I), symbolizing gracefulness, harmony, vitality and mobility as well as unity, cooperation, exchange and development. It also resembles the shape of a traditional Chinese artifact known as the "China Heart Unit." The logo was designed by Chen Shaohua, a noted designer in Shenzhen and one of the 13 official emblem designers appointed by BOBICO, and well-known painter Han Meilin, who modified the design by using a calligraphy brush. Kan Tai-Keung, a famous designer in Hong Kong, also contributed to the designing of the emblem.

New Beijing, Great Olympics

Reform and opening up to the outside world have brought about great changes in Beijing, a city with a 3,000-year history. The city has taken on a completely new look as it enters the new century. It will embrace the athletes and friends from the rest of the world attending the Olympic Games with great enthusiasm.

The great modern Olympic Movement has gone through many changes in the past 100 years. Should the Olympic Games be held in China, the most populous nation in the world, the Olympic spirit will be even further disseminated and a new page will be turned in the Olympic history; and the Olympic Movement will show its unique splendor to the world in the new millennium.

Olympic Motto 奥运格言: The Olympic motto is made up of three Latin words: "Citius, Altius, Fortius." These words mean "faster, higher and stronger." It was first introduced at the 1924 Paris Olympics.
奥运格言是用拉丁文写成的，意思是更快、更高、更强。它最早出现在1924年巴黎奥运会上。

The Olympic torch of Athens 2004 arrives in Melbourne, Australia. XINHUA

Olympic Spirit 奥运精神: The Olympic spirit is solidarity, respect, fair play, joy and friendship.
奥运精神是指相互了解、友谊、团结和公平竞争的精神。

Torch relay 火炬传递 : In recollection of the origins of the Olympic Games, the flame is lit in Olympia, Greece, some months before the opening of the Games. It is then carried by relay from Olympia to the host city.
为了纪念奥运会的起源，每次奥运会前几个月奥运圣火都会在希腊的奥林匹亚山点燃，然后由火炬手跑步传递到举办城市。

Olympic Oath 奥运宣誓: The Olympic Oath is one of the rituals of the Games. It is taken by an athlete from the host country, on behalf of all the athletes. It reads "In the name of all the competitors I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them, committing ourselves to a sport without doping and without drugs, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams." The first Athletes' Oath was taken at the Olympic Games in Antwerp in 1920 by Victor Boin, a Belgian fencer. Since 1972, a referee has taken an oath on behalf of all the referees and officials.
奥运宣誓是奥运会上的一个仪式。一般由主办城市的运动员代表左手持奥运旗帜一角，举右手宣读誓词："我代表全体运动员宣誓，为了体育的光荣和本队的荣簋，我们将以真正的体育精神，参加本届运动会比赛，尊重和遵守各项规则。"
比利时击剑运动员Victor Boin 最早在1920年安特为普奥运会上宣誓。从1972年起，裁判员代表也要进行奥运宣誓。

Olympic Rings 奥运五环：On the Olympic flag, the five rings appear on a white background. The flag is supposed to express the idea of the universality of the Olympic Movement. At least one of the colours of the rings, including the white background, can be found on the flag of every nation in the world. But watch out! It is wrong, therefore, to believe that each of the coloured rings corresponds to a certain continent!
奥运会旗是白色背景上排列着五个不同颜色的圆环。它代表奥林匹克运动的广泛性。世界上任何一个国家的国旗上至少由奥运会旗的一中颜色。不过，如果你以为每个环代表五大洲中特定的一个，那你就大错特错了。

Dawn of the modern age
回眸现代奥运百年之路，感受沧桑变化中那份历久弥坚的执著。

April 6, 1896, was definitely a day to remember. King George I of Greece announced the opening of the first International Olympic Games in Athens.

A total of 245 athletes from 14 nations competed in the ancient Panathenaic stadium.

In this first modern Games, the winner was awarded a silver medal. The second athlete was given a bronze medal while the third athlete received nothing.

The man who re-introduced the Olympic Games to the modern world was Baron Pierre de Coubertin (顾拜旦) (1863-1937) of France. He was enthusiastic about the Games because he thought they were similar to the French education system, which combined moral and social education in school games.

He travelled the world to gather support for his dream to have countries come together in the name of sport. "The important thing in life is not the victory but competing; the main thing is not to have won but to have fought well," he said.

Coubertin held an international meeting in Paris in 1894 and established the International Olympic Committee (IOC,国际奥委会). Two years later his ideal - bringing together the youth of the world in a friendly competition - became a reality at the first celebration of the modern Olympic Games.
From the start of the modern Olympics, male athletes of every race, religion (宗教), and nationality have been allowed to participate.

No women competed in 1896. A few female golfers and tennis players were allowed to take part in the 1900 Games. Female gymnasts and track-and-field athletes first competed at the 1928 Games. Women's Olympic sports have grown hugely since then. Today women make up about half of the total number of competitors.

This has not been the only change. Figure skating (花样滑冰) was part of the Summer Games of 1908 and 1920, and ice hockey was played in 1920. They then became part of the Winter Olympics, which was first held in 1924 in France.

Although founded to help world peace, the modern Olympic Games sometimes become a stage for political arguments. The most controversial (有争议的) Olympics were the Berlin Games of 1936. Under the rule of the Nazis, German Jewish (犹太的) athletes were banned from the German team.

The Olympic Games were interrupted twice during the First and Second World Wars. The event was not held in 1916, 1940 and 1944.
