❶ 求關於奧林匹克的英文介紹，謝謝
福娃是北京2008年第29屆奧運會吉祥物，其色彩與靈感來源於奧林匹克五環、來源於中國遼闊的山川大地、江河湖海和人們喜愛的動物形象。福娃向世界各地的孩子們傳遞友誼、和平、積極進取的精神和人與自然和諧相處的美好願望。
福娃是五個可愛的親密小夥伴，他們的造型融入了魚、大熊貓、藏羚羊、燕子以及奧林匹克聖火的形象。
每個娃娃都有一個琅琅上口的名字:「貝貝」、「晶晶」、「歡歡」、「迎迎」和「妮妮」，在中國，疊音名字是對孩子表達喜愛的一種傳統方式。當把五個娃娃的名字連在一起，你會讀出北京對世界的盛情邀請「北京歡迎你」。
福娃代表了夢想以及中國人民的渴望。他們的原型和頭飾蘊含著其與海洋、森林、聖火、大地和天空的聯系，其形象設計應用了中國傳統藝術的表現方式，展現了中國的燦爛文化。
很久以來，中國就有通過符號傳遞祝福的傳統。北京奧運會吉祥物的每個娃娃都代表著一個美好的祝願：繁榮、歡樂、激情、健康與好運。娃娃們帶著北京的盛情，將祝福帶往世界各個角落，邀請各國人民共聚北京，歡慶2008奧運盛典。
Like the Five Olympic Rings from which they draw their color and inspiration, Fuwa will serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, carrying a message of friendship and peace -- and good wishes from China -- to children all over the world.
Designed to express the playful qualities of five little children who form an intimate circle of friends, Fuwa also embody the natural characteristics of four of China's most popular animals -- the Fish, the Panda, the Tibetan Antelope, the Swallow -- and the Olympic Flame.
Each of Fuwa has a rhyming two-syllable name -- a traditional way of expressing affection for children in China. Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow.
When you put their names together -- Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni -- they say "Welcome to Beijing," offering a warm invitation that reflects the mission of Fuwa as young ambassadors for the Olympic Games.
Fuwa also embody both the landscape and the dreams and aspirations of people from every part of the vast country of China. In their origins and their headpieces, you can see the five elements of nature -- the sea, forest, fire, earth and sky -- all stylistically rendered in ways that represent the deep traditional influences of Chinese folk art and ornamentation.
In the ancient culture of China, there is a grand tradition of spreading good wishes through signs and symbols. Each of Fuwa symbolizes a different blessing -- and will honor this tradition by carrying their good wishes to the children of the world. Prosperity, happiness, passion, health and good luck will be spread to every continent as Fuwa carry their invitation to Beijing 2008 to every part of the globe.
At the heart of their mission -- and through all of their work -- Fuwa will seek to unite the world in peace and friendship through the Olympic spirit. Dedicated to helping Beijing 2008 spread its theme of One World, One Dream to every continent, Fuwa reflect the deep desire of the Chinese people to reach out to the world in friendship through the Games -- and to invite every man, woman and child to take part in the great celebration of human solidarity that China will host in the light of the flame in 2008.
貝貝傳遞的祝福是繁榮。在中國傳統文化藝術中, 「魚」 和 「水」 的圖案是繁榮與收獲的象徵，人們用「鯉魚跳龍門」寓意事業有成和夢想的實現,「魚」還有吉慶有餘、年年有餘的蘊涵。
貝貝的頭部紋飾使用了中國新石器時代的魚紋圖案。她溫柔純潔，是水上運動的高手，和奧林匹克五環中的藍環相互輝映。
In China's traditional culture and art, the fish and water designs are symbols of prosperity and harvest. And so Beibei carries the blessing of prosperity. A fish is also a symbol of surplus in Chinese culture, another measure of a good year and a good life.
The ornamental lines of the water-wave designs are taken from well-known Chinese paintings of the past. Among Fuwa, Beibei is known to be gentle and pure. Strong in water sports, she reflects the blue Olympic ring.
晶晶是一隻憨態可掬的大熊貓，無論走到哪裡都會帶給人們歡樂。作為中國國寶，大熊貓深得世界人民的喜愛。
晶晶來自廣袤的森林，象徵著人與自然的和諧共存。他的頭部紋飾源自宋瓷上的蓮花瓣造型。晶晶憨厚樂觀，充滿力量，代表奧林匹克五環中黑色的一環。
Jingjing makes children smile -- and that's why he brings the blessing of happiness wherever he goes. You can see his joy in the charming naivety of his dancing pose and the lovely wave of his black and white fur. As a national treasure and a protected species, pandas are adored by people everywhere. The lotus designs in Jingjing's headdress, which are inspired by the porcelain paintings of the Song Dynasty (A.D.960-1234), symbolize the lush forest and the harmonious relationship between man and nature. Jingjing was chosen to represent our desire to protect nature's gifts -- and to preserve the beauty of nature for all generations. Jingjing is charmingly naïve and optimistic. He is an athlete noted for strength who represents the black Olympic ring.
迎迎是一隻機敏靈活、馳騁如飛的藏羚羊，他來自中國遼闊的西部大地，將健康的美好祝福傳向世界。迎迎是青藏高原特有的保護動物藏羚羊，是綠色奧運的展現。
迎迎的頭部紋飾融入了青藏高原和新疆等西部地區的裝飾風格。他身手敏捷，是田徑好手，代表奧林匹克五環中黃色的一環。
Like all antelopes, Yingying is fast and agile and can swiftly cover great stretches of land as he races across the earth. A symbol of the vastness of China's landscape, the antelope carries the blessing of health, the strength of body that comes from harmony with nature. Yingying's flying pose captures the essence of a species unique to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, one of the first animals put under protection in China. The selection of the Tibetan Antelope reflects Beijing commitment to a Green Olympics. His head ornament incorporates several decorative styles from the Qinghai-Tibet and Sinkiang cultures and the ethnic design traditions of Western China. Strong in track and field events, Yingying is a quick-witted and agile boy who represents the yellow Olympic ring.
妮妮來自天空，是一隻展翅飛翔的燕子，其造型創意來自北京傳統的沙燕風箏。「燕」還代表燕京（古代北京的稱謂）。妮妮把春天和喜悅帶給人們，飛過之處播撒「祝您好運」的美好祝福。
天真無邪、歡快矯捷的妮妮將在體操比賽中閃亮登場，她代表奧林匹克五環中綠色的一環。
Every spring and summer, the children of Beijing have flown beautiful kites on the currents of wind that blow through the capital. Among the kite designs, the golden-winged swallow is traditionally one of the most popular. Nini's figure is drawn from this grand tradition of flying designs. Her golden wings symbolize the infinite sky and spread good-luck as a blessing wherever she flies. Swallow is also pronounced "yan" in Chinese, and Yanjing is what Beijing was called as an ancient capital city. Among Fuwa, Nini is as innocent and joyful as a swallow. She is strong in gymnastics and represents the green Olympic ring.
歡歡是福娃中的大哥哥。他是一個火娃娃，象徵奧林匹克聖火。歡歡是運動激情的化身，他將激情散播世界，傳遞 更快、更高、更強的奧林匹克精神。歡歡所到之處，洋溢著北京2008對世界的熱情。
歡歡的頭部紋飾源自敦煌壁畫中火焰的紋樣。他性格外向奔放，熟稔各項球類運動，代表奧林匹克五環中紅色的一環。
In the intimate circle of Fuwa, Huanhuan is the big brother. He is a child of fire, symbolizing the Olympic Flame and the passion of sport -- and passion is the blessing he bestows. Huanhuan stands in the center of Fuwa as the core embodiment of the Olympic spirit. And while he inspires all with the passion to run faster, jump higher and be stronger, he is also open and inviting. Wherever the light of Huanhuan shines, the inviting warmth of Beijing 2008 -- and the wishful blessings of the Chinese people -- can be felt. The fiery designs of his head ornament are drawn from the famed Dunhuang murals -- with just a touch of China's traditional lucky designs. Huanhuan is outgoing and enthusiastic. He excels at all the ball games and represents the red Olympic ring.

❹ 關於2008奧運會英語閱讀理解
一、
I am glad that the Beijing Olympic Organising Committee did not pick some cutesy animal or mascot (like a Panda) for the 2008 games. Yes, the Olympic games are suppose to be fun but its also a serious sporting event, not a carnival. At first glance, the logo looks like a simply-drawn running man but a closer look reveals its hidden calligraphy (it sort of looks like the 'jing' or city character written in Chinese). Plus its shape (like a stone) has an ancient quality to it. Overall, a nice logo in my humble opinion.
Yes, I like it very much. I also think that it looks like a personal stamp that Chinese artists use to imprint (similar as signing by the artists from the West) on their paintings. As others have stated. It combines several things into one simple yet complex symbol. It's simple that a child can easily draw this, whether he/she knows Chinese character or not. It's complex (a running man which represents an athlete, red colour and stone represents Chinese culture, it also shaped as a personal stamp, and the Chinese character "Jing"=」city」, is "Beijing", or in ancient time, this "city" character has a "capital" sense, as 「Jing」 rather just any city) and because it's kind of having a mini-story built-in, which alts will find it interesting to explain to their children or tell them as a short story.
Genius!!!

No one delivers spectacle these days like Zhang Yimou. The director's film and opera careers have clearly trained him well in dealing with massive ensembles of costumed performers, resulting in a show the sheer scale and beauty of which the world may never see again.
But what a travesty to have such a pageant undermined by bizarre editing and inane commentators! Why not let Zhang into the control booth to oversee the camera angles, instead of letting the NBC amateurs keep panning up to the digital scrim above the stadium and away from the 2008 dancers below?
Have we learned nothing from Busby Berkeley? Instead of showing closeups of the performers, give us the god's-eye-view of things, so we can appreciate the choreography -- the way it was intended to be seen by those in the stadium. The scripted commentary reveals that the network had access to dress rehearsals, so what excuse do they have for not knowing which camera angles would best represent the show?
And Bob Costas? Must every cultural observation be followed by a witless remark? Take, for instance, the moment in which conversation turned to the dancers' subtle hand movements. Costas quips, "So you order a Big Mac and fries and they give it to you with conspicuous elegance?" Thank you, Bob, for undermining millennia of culture by reminding us of what America contributes to the international equation.
This was China's moment -- bravo! Here's hoping someone proces a proper documentary of the event, with better footage and less chatter.
❺ 關於奧林匹克的英語短文
Pindar, the Greek poet wrote in the 5th century BC:"As in the daytime there is no star in the sky warmer and brighter than the sun, likewise there is no competition greater than the Olympic Games.
According to historic records, the first ancient Olympic Games can be traced back to 776 BC. They were dedicated to the Olympian Gods and were staged on the ancient plains of Olympia. Initially they had a religious character and combined a number of ancient sporting events, many of which were based on ancient Greek myths.
The ancient Games actually occupied an important position in the life of the Greek ancestors. An Olympiad was a time unit, measuring the four-year interval between two Games. Participants came to compete from every corner of the Greek world aiming at the ultimate prize: an olive wreath and a "heroic" return to their city-states. But apart from the glorious victory, it was the Olympic values themselves which accorded special meaning to the Games: noble competition and the effort to combine body, will, and mind in a balanced whole.
As the Games developed, so did a set of proceres such as a standardized schele of events and the practice of the Olympic Truce. They continued for nearly 12 centuries, until Emperor Theodosius decreed, in 393 AD, that all such 'pagan cults' be banned. He asserted that the Games placed an excessive public focus on athletic and spiritual affairs. The games was abolished until the 19th Century. Intellectuals such as Evangelos Zappas and Demetrios Vikelas who believed in the spirit of noble contests and the Olympic ideals, lent their voices and efforts to the revival of the Olympic Games.
However, it was French Baron Pierre de Coubertin who orchestrated the re-establishment of the Games, by advocating the marriage of sports and Greek classicism, leading the way to the first Modern Olympic Games in 1896.
The Greek public embraced the revival, and joined the efforts to organize the Games. Any financial difficulties faced by the Greek state at the time, were met through the mobilization of people and benefactors alike. The marble renovation of the ancient Panathinaikon Stadium that hosted the first modern Games was financed by George Averoff, a Greek benefactor from Northern Greece.
With the revival of the Olympic Games, a number of symbolic Olympic Traditions were also developed and established (i.e. the Olympic Anthem, the Olympic Creed, the Olympic Flag, the Olympic Flame and Torch).
Over the years, the Olympic Games traveled to different countries and continents, and now finally in 2004, they returned to the country of their birth and the city of their revival for the hosting of the XXVIII Modern Olympic Games.

The Olympic Games is an international multi-sport event subdivided into summer and winter sporting events. The summer and winter games are each held every four years (an Olympiad). Until 1992, they were both held in the same year. Since then, they have been separated by a two year gap.
The original Olympic Games (Greek: Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες; Olympiakoi Agones) were first recorded in 776 BC in Olympia, Greece, and were celebrated until AD 393. Interest in reviving the Olympic Games proper was first shown by the Greek poet and newspaper editor Panagiotis Soutsos in his poem "Dialogue of the Dead" in 1833. Evangelos Zappas sponsored the first modern international Olympic Games in 1859. He paid for the refurbishment of the Panathinaiko Stadium for Games held there in 1870 and 1875. This was noted in newspapers and publications around the world including the London Review, which stated that "the Olympian Games, discontinued for centuries, have recently been revived! Here is strange news indeed ... the classical games of antiquity were revived near Athens".
The International Olympic Committee was founded in 1894 on the initiative of a French nobleman, Pierre Frédy, Baron de Coubertin. The first of the IOC's Olympic Games were the 1896 Summer Olympics, held in Athens, Greece. Participation in the Olympic Games has increased to include athletes from nearly all nations worldwide. With the improvement of satellite communications and global telecasts of the events, the Olympics are consistently gaining supporters. The most recent Summer Olympics were the 2004 Games in Athens and the most recent Winter Olympics were the 2006 Games in Turin. The upcoming games in Beijing are planned to comprise 302 events in 28 sports. As of 2006, the Winter Olympics were competed in 84 events in 7 sports.

Let the Games Begin!
Once every four years, the greatest athletes from all over the world gather together in one city to take part in the biggest sporting event on earth--the Olympic Games.
Winning a gold medal is the aim of every competitor in each of the many events. Athletes spend only a short time at the Olympic Games competing the best of the best.
However, besides this, each of them has to overcome particular difficulties on their way to success. Some of the greatest Olympians of all time will be remembered in history.
The first Olympic Games happened nearly 3,000 years ago, in 776BC. From then on, every four years for a thousand years, men would come to Olypmia, not for Greece itself, but from Greek cities in modern Turkey, Egypt, Libya, Spain, France and Italy. Women were not allowed at the Games, either as spectators or competitors. The punishment for breaking this rule was severe--and seems cruel to us today--any woman discovered there was thrown off a nearby cliff.
Now,when the Olympic Games begins,there is much we can predict. And we can probably expect some form of scandal, either about money or drugs or both. There may be political protests, and possibly violence. But there will also be some performances from indivial athletes which will fix those Games for ever in the minds of those who watch.

Now we have a growing population of senior citizens. To ensure happy lives for them has become a focus of attention. Our traditional respect of the aged needs updating. They deserve respect, understanding, coMPAnion, entertainment and so on.
There are many things to be done to honor senior citizens. In cities, senior citizens should enjoy some privileges, such as special seats on buses, reced fares for entertainment and traveling, and other benefits. We should do everything to solve their practical problems, to warm their hearts, and to make them happy. In addition, we should find some ways to pi'ovide affordable medical health care,which is of vital importance to them. Besides, there should be recreation halls and care- centers for the aged. Most important of all, the state should ensure a decent pension for them, peasants in particular.
In the vast countryside, most aged people are financially supported by their sons, whose life is aperpetual struggle against poverty. What can they do if they are childless?
Senior citizens, parents in particular, need our love and deserve the best care. Respecting senior citizens bears vital importance to the family - planning policy in China. If we do our best to honor ourparents and the aged, our children will follow our example.
