The Olympics | aò yùn huì | 奥运会
我还能记得小时候我做在电视前的那个模样。因为一直热爱运动，自己也会参加各种田径比赛。在看电视时，我不知不觉对几个运动员变得挺痴迷的。他们的动作我看着看着，就似乎陷入了另一种世界。自从那时以来，奥运会对我实在具有特殊意义，象征着一种高尚，光荣、深奥而又很完美的里想。奥运会运动员挑战人类极限，实现“更高、更快、更强”目标。 他们与来自世界各地的各民族、不同肤色的人们联在一起，促进相互尊敬和理解。 这个天真而单纯的宗旨会永远留在我心中。我爱奥运会！祝大家奥运会快乐！
I still remember the look of myself sitting there in front of the TV as a child. I always adored sports, so I too often participated in various track and field events. While watching TV, I unwittingly became rather obsessed with some of the athletes. I watched their moves over and over again, as if I had slipped into another kind of world. Ever since, the Olympics has truly meant something very special to me. It signifies a kind of noble, glorious, profound and very perfect ideal. Olympic athletes challenge human limitations, achieve “higher, faster, stronger” goals. They also unite with other people of different ethnic groups and skin colors from all over the world, promote mutual respect and understanding. This innocent, pure objective will always remain in my heart. I love the Olympics! Happy Olympics, everyone!
