今天是北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)成功20周年紀(jì)念日。作為中華兒子，我真心為我們的祖國感到驕傲和自豪！今年是體育大年。奧運(yùn)會(huì)、歐洲杯雖然晚了，但體育健康也是考研的大熱點(diǎn)。

下文是北京申辦2008年奧運(yùn)會(huì)時(shí)代表?xiàng)顬懙闹杏⑽陌l(fā)言稿，我把值得學(xué)習(xí)的詞匯和短語進(jìn)行了加粗標(biāo)記，讓我們來一起回顧一下~

Mr. President,

主席先生，

Ladies and Gentlemen,

女士們，先生們，

?

Good afternoon! Before I introduce our cultural programs, I want to tell you one thing first about 2008. You're going to have a great time in Beijing.

下午好！在向各位介紹我們的安排之前，我想先告訴大家，你們2008年將在北京渡過愉快的時(shí)光。

There are a lot more wonderful and exciting things waiting for you in New Beijing, a dynamic modern metropolis with 3,000 years of cultural treasures woven into the urban tapestry. Along with the iconic imagery of the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall, the city offers an endless mixture of theatres, museums, discos, all kinds of restaurants and shopping malls that will amaze and delight you. But beyond that, it is a place of millions of friendly people who love to meet people from around the world. People of Beijing believe that the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing will help to enhance the harmony between our culture and the diverse cultures of the world.

北京有很多激動(dòng)人心的事物等待著你們。這是一座充滿活力的現(xiàn)代都市，三千年的歷史文化與都市的繁榮交相呼應(yīng)，除了紫禁城、天壇和萬里長(zhǎng)城這幾個(gè)標(biāo)志性的建筑，北京擁有無數(shù)的戲院、博物館，各種各樣的餐廳和購物商場(chǎng)。這一切的一切都會(huì)令您感到驚奇和高興。除此之外，北京城里還有千千萬萬友善的人民，熱愛與世界各地的人民相處，北京人民相信，在北京舉辦2008年奧運(yùn)會(huì)，將推動(dòng)我們文化和全世界文化的交流。

Within our cultural programs, education and communication will receive the highest priority. We seek to create an intellectual and sporting legacy by broadening the understanding of the Olympic Ideals throughout the country. Cultural events will unfold each year, from 2005 to 2008. We will stage multi-disciplined cultural programs, such as concerts, exhibitions, art competitions and camps which will involve young people from around the world. During the Olympics, they will be staged in the Olympic Village and the city for the benefit of the athletes. Our Ceremonies will give China’s greatest and the world’s greatest artists a stage for celebrating the common aspirations of humanity and the unique heritage of our culture and the Olympic Movement.

在我們的文化計(jì)劃當(dāng)中，教育和交流將是我們的首要內(nèi)容，我們力求通過擴(kuò)大人民對(duì)奧運(yùn)理想的認(rèn)識(shí)，創(chuàng)造出一筆知識(shí)與體育的精神財(cái)富。從2005年到2008年，我們將每年定期舉辦文化活動(dòng)，我們將開展多元文化活動(dòng)，舉辦世界青少年和表演家參加的音樂會(huì)，這些文化活動(dòng)同時(shí)在奧運(yùn)村和全市范圍內(nèi)展開，以方便運(yùn)動(dòng)員的參加。我們的開閉幕式，將是展現(xiàn)中國與全球最為杰出的藝術(shù)家的舞臺(tái)，謳歌人類的共同理想，以及我們獨(dú)特的文化遺產(chǎn)和奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)。

With a concept inspired by the famed Silk Road, our Torch Relay will break new ground, traveling from Olympia through some of the oldest civilizations known to man-Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Byzantine, Mesopotamian, Persian, Arabian, Indian and Chinese. Carrying the message "Share the Peace, Share the Olympics," the eternal flame will reach new heights as it crosses the Himalayas over the world's highest summit - Mount Qomolangma, which is known to many of you as Mt. Everest. In China, the flame will pass through Tibet, cross the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, travel the Great Wall and visit Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and the 56 ethnic communities who make up our society. On its journey, the flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay.

基于絲綢之路帶來的靈感，我們的火炬接力，將開辟新的路線，從奧林匹克出發(fā)，穿越一些人類已知的最古老的文明國度，途經(jīng)希臘、埃及、羅馬、美索布達(dá)米亞，波斯、印度和中國，這一永不熄滅的火炬將一路攜帶著“共享和平、共享奧運(yùn)”的信息，當(dāng)它跨越喜馬拉雅山的世界最高峰——珠穆朗瑪峰時(shí)，將達(dá)到一個(gè)新的高度。在中國，奧運(yùn)圣火將通過西藏，穿過長(zhǎng)江和黃河，踏上長(zhǎng)城，途經(jīng)香港、澳門、臺(tái)灣，在組成我們國家的56個(gè)民族中傳遞。經(jīng)由這樣的路線，目睹這次火炬接力并受之鼓舞的人們，將會(huì)比任何一次都多。

Seven hundred years ago, amazed by his incredible descriptions of a far away land of great beauty, people asked Marco Polo whether his stories about China were true. He answered, What I have told you was not even half of what I saw.

700年前，馬可波羅曾對(duì)中國這一遙遠(yuǎn)的美麗國度做出了令人贊嘆的描述。人們對(duì)此頗為驚奇，于是有人問馬可波羅，你關(guān)于中國的描述是否屬實(shí)。他說，我所告訴你的甚至不及我所見所聞的一半。

?

Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that Beijing will prove to be a land of wonders to athletes, spectators and the worldwide television audience alike.

女士們，先生們，我相信北京和中國將向運(yùn)動(dòng)員、觀眾和全世界的電視觀眾證明，這是一塊神奇的土地。

Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you all.
謝謝主席先生，謝謝大家！
