奥运会英语版

The Olympic Games or Olympics is an international multi-sport event taking place every four years and comprising summer and winter games. Beginning in 776 BC, they were originally held in Olympia, Greece until 393 AD. In 1896, they were revived by a French nobleman, Pierre Frèdy, Baron de Coubertin, thus beginning the era of the Modern Olympic Games.

The Summer Olympics (Games of the Olympiad) he been held every fourth year starting in 1896, except in 1916, 1940, and 1944 due to the World Wars. Greece and Australia are the only nations to he attended every Summer Olympics.

An event specifically for winter sports, the Olympic Winter Games, was first held in 1924. The first winter Olympics competitions were held as a non-Olympic sports festival, but were declared to be official Games by the International Olympic Committee in 1925. Originally these were held in the same year as the Summer Olympics, but from 1994 (the Lillehammer Games) the Winter Games and the Summer Games he been held two years apart. The Summer Olympics are more prominent and anticipated than the Winter Olympics.

Ancient Olympics

There are many legends surrounding the origin of the ancient Olympic Games. One of these associates the first Games with the ancient Greek concept of εκεχειρ?α (ekecheiria) or Olympic Truce. The date of the Games' inception based on the count of years in Olympiads is reconstructed as 776 BC, although scholars' opinions diverge between dates as early as 884 BC and as late as 704 BC.

From then on, the Games quickly became much more important throughout ancient Greece, reaching their zenith in the sixth and fifth centuries BC. The Olympics were of fundamental religious importance, contests alternating with sacrifices and ceremonies honouring both Zeus (whose colossal statue stood at Olympia), and Pelops, divine hero and mythical king of Olympia famous for his legendary chariot race, in whose honour the games were held. The number of events increased to twenty, and the celebration was spread over several days. Winners of the events were greatly admired and were immortalised in poems and statues. The Games were held every four years, and the period between two celebrations became known as an 'Olympiad'. The Greeks used Olympiads as one of their methods to count years. The most famous Olympic athlete lived in these times: the sixth century BC wrestler Milo of Croton is the only athlete in history to win a victory in six Olympics.

The Games gradually declined in importance as the Romans gained power in Greece. When Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, the Olympic Games were seen as a pagan festival and in discord with Christian ethics, and in 393 AD the emperor Theodosius I outlawed the Olympics, ending a thousand-year tradition.

During the ancient times normally only young men could participate. Compes were usually naked, not only as the weather was ropriate but also as the festival was meant to be, in part, a celebration of the achievements of the human body. Upon winning the games, the victor would he not only the prestige of being in first place but would also be presented with a crown of olive lees. The olive branch is a sign of hope and peace.

During competition for some of the events, many of the participants would use oils to keep their skin smooth, as well as provide an ealing lustre to anyone who saw them. Even though the bearing of a torch formed an integral aspect of Greek ceremonies, the ancient Olympic Games did not include it, nor was there a symbol formed by interconnecting rings. These Olympic symbols were introduced as part of the modern Olympic Games.

According to legend, King Ifitos of Elis, seeking to establish peace among warring Greeks, visited the Oracle of Delphi. There, he was advised to break the cycle of conflict every four years by replacing war with friendly athletic competition. Ifitos sought the cooperation of Kings Lycourgos of Sparta and Cleosthenes of Pisa. They agreed to a truce called “Ekeheiria” and organized the first Olympic Games at Olympia. Fighting ceased from 12 days before until 12 days after the Games, allowing athletes, artists, and spectators to trel to Olympia, participate in the Olympic Games and return to their homelands in peace.

In the early seventh century, an "Olympick Games" sports festival was run for several years at Chipping Campden in the English Cotswolds, and the present day local Cotswold Games trace their origin to this festival. In 1850, an "Olympian" sports festival was begun at Much Wenlock in Shropshire, England, which also continues to this day as the Wenlock Olympian Society Annual Games. Later, similar events were organised in France and Greece, but these were all small-scale and certainly not international.

The interest in reviving the Olympics as an international event grew when the ruins of ancient Olympia were uncovered by German archaeologists in the mid-nineth century. At the same time, Baron Pierre de Coubertin was searching for a reason for the French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War (1870–1871). He thought the reason was that the French had not received proper physical education, and sought to improve this. Coubertin also sought a way to bring nations closer together, to he the youth of the world compete in sports, rather than fight in war. In 1890 he attended a festival of the Wenlock Olympian Society, and decided that the recovery of the Olympic Games would achieve both of his goals.

In a congress at the Sorbonne University, in Paris, held from June 16 to June 23, 1894 he presented his ideas to an international audience. On the last day of the congress, it was decided that the first modern Olympic Games would take place in 1896 in Athens, in the country of their birth. To organise the Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was established, with the Greek Demetrius Vikelas as its first president.

The total number of athletes at the the first modern Olympic Games, less than 250, seems small by modern standards, but the games were the largest international sports event ever held until that time. The Greek officials and public were also very enthusiastic, and they even proposed to he the monopoly of organizing the Olympics. The IOC decided differently, however, and the second Olympic Games took place in Paris, France. Paris was also the first Olympic Games where women were allowed to compete.

Modern Olympics

After the initial success, the Olympics struggled. The celebrations in Paris (1900) and St. Louis (1904) were overshadowed by the world's fair exhibitions in which they were included. The so-called Intercalated Games (because of their off-year status, as 1906 is not divisible by four) were held in 1906 in Athens, as the first of an alternating series of Athens-held Olympics. '''''Although''''' originally the IOC recognised and supported these games, they are currently not recognised by the IOC as Olympic Games, which has given rise to the explanation that they were intended to mark the 10th anniversary of the modern Olympics. The 1906 Games again attracted a broad international field of participants — in 1904, 80% had been American — and great public interest, thereby marking the beginning of a rise in popularity and size of the Games.

Growth

From the 241 participants from 14 nations in 1896, the Games grew to nearly 11,100 compes from 202 countries at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. The number of compes at the Winter Olympics is much smaller than at the Summer Games; at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, 2,400 athletes from 77 countries competed in 78 events.

The Olympics are one of the largest media events. In Sydney in 2000 there were over 16,000 broadcasters and journalists, and an estimated 3.8 billion viewers watched the games on television. The growth of the Olympics is one of the largest problems the Olympics face today. Although allowing professional athletes and attracting sponsorships from major international companies solved financial problems in the 1980s, the large number of athletes, media and spectators makes it difficult and expensive for host cities to organize the Olympics.

求关于奥运会主题有关的英语作文（附带翻译）谢谢！

绿色奥运

The Olympic Games will be held in our country in two years’ time. “Green Olympics” is one of the Three Themes of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. The Beijing had made a great effort in order to protect the environment, build more “Green project”, keep the ecological balance, push the recycling economy, and protects the water resource.

For example ,the will be building new hotels ,an immense stadium ,and a new Olympic-standard swimming pool ,and more building will be built outside the capital and will be called ‘Olympic City’ .My home is there ,so I am looking forward to the Olympic.

As a Chinese, as a Beijing high school student, we should play an active role in the actions aimed at the realization of Green Olympics. So we should start it from ourselves, our family, our friends and other people around us.

Though our country is very beautiful and modern now, it has any problem .I always see cars producing smog on the street. And in the bathrooms, I see students leing the water tap on after using them. Not only the young people, but also the elderly ones throw things everywhere without thinking, it's wrong, even in a beautiful park. These things are taking place every day, even in modern cities like Beijing.

So, let's begin to act! First of all, start with the things around you. Don't throw rubbish onto the road. Don't talk loudly when you are outdoors. Turn off the water tap after using it. Go to school by bike or by bus instead of by private car. Se your pocket money and contribute to environmental protection organizations. After washing the clothes, we can use it to flash the toilet, and we can stop somebody from demolishing environment. For me, I always pick up rubbish and throw it into a trashcan. I collect waste paper or bottles for recycling. I plant more trees and flowers, and so on. We should start from every little thing around us to truly realize the “Green Olympic”. We're grateful, because the emblem of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games is a precious treasure dedicated to the Olympic Movement by the people of China. Express the spirit of Olympic, publicize the theme of "Green Olympic", and let Beijing really reaches the "Green Olympic" in 2008. This is the responsibility of anyone who loves peace. And it is also the responsibility of our Beijing high school students!

Welcome to Beijing! Thank you!

绿色奥运中文翻译：

奥林匹克运动会将在2年后在我们国家举办。“绿色奥运”是北京2008年奥运会的三大理念之一。为此北京市无论是在环境的治理、绿化的建设、生态的保护、循环经济和水的保护与利用，都做了大量的工作。

比如说：准备建造一些新的饭店、一个大型体育场和一个新的奥运会标准游泳池。还有更多的建筑将要在郊区被建造起来，而且整个地方将被称作“奥林匹克城”。我的家就在那里，所以我很期待奥运会。

作为一个中国人，作为一个北京中学生，我们应该积极的投身到"绿色奥运"的建设与宣传当中去。所以要从我做起，从我的家庭做起，从我身边的朋友、同学做起。

虽然我们的国家现在非常漂亮而且很现代化，但还是存在一些问题。我经常在街道上看见汽车排放尾气，在洗手间，我经常看见有人用后不关水龙头。不仅是年轻人，就连其他人甚至在漂亮的公园里也想都不想就随手扔垃圾，这些都是错误的。这些事情每天都在发生着，甚至像北京这样的大城市也这样。

所以，让我们开始行动吧！首先，从身边的事做起。不要随便在路上扔垃圾。当你在外面时，不要太大声讲话。用完水龙头要及时关上。尽量骑自行车或坐公共汽车去学校来避免坐私家车去学校。把零用钱存起来然后贡献给环境保护组织。作为我，我经常把垃圾捡起来扔到垃圾桶里去。我经常收集废纸和酒瓶去回收利用。我还种一些树和花，等等。而实现绿色奥运也正是应该从身边的这些小事做起。2008年奥运会对我们来说，既是机遇，又是挑战。弘扬奥林匹克精神，宣传绿色奥运理念，让2008北京奥运真正做到"绿色奥运"。这正是每一个爱好和平、追求和平人们的义不容辞的责任。也是我们北京中学生的一种思想境界和追求。

欢迎来北京！
