♦A: 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。”
Bùyào kāiwánxiàole. Qíshí, yùndòngyuán xuānshì shìcí shì yóu gù bài dàn qǐcǎo de. Zài kāimù shì shàng, yóu zhǔbàn guó yùndòngyuán xuāndú shìyán:“Wǒ dàibiǎo quántǐyùndòngyuán xuānshì, wǒ bǎozhèng wǒmen cānjiā àolínpǐkè yùndònghuì, zūnzhòng hé zūnshǒu tǐyù guīzé, fāyáng tǐyù dàodé jīngshén, wèi tǐ yù zhēngguāng, wèi guójiā zhēng róngyù.”
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.”
♦C: 那是从第七届开始的吗?
Nà shì cóng dì qī jiè kāishǐ de ma?
Did it start form the 7th Games?
♦A: 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。
Shì de. Chúle yùndòngyuán xuānshì wài, huì qí yěshì zài zhè jiè àoyùnhuì shàng dì yīcì shēng qǐ de.
Yes. Besides taking an oath by the athletes, the flag was raised from that time as well.
♦B: 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。
Nà shí, bǐlìshí zài yī zhàn zhōng zāo dào pòhuài, yóuyú quēfá zījīn, shíjiān hé wùzī,1920 nián zài āntèwèipǔ jǔxíng dì nà jiè àoyùnhuì bùshì hěn xīyǐn rén, yě méiyǒu jiào hǎo dì wénxiàn jìzǎi. Dàn bùguǎn zěnme shuō, tā yě chuàngxiàle àoyùn shǐshàng de jǐ gè dì yī.
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.
