The Modern Olympic Games 现代奥运会
Dialogue Script 1 对话原文 1
Mark: Shall we take a walk?
Tina: I don’t want to go since I’m too full.
Mark: You may live up to 99 years, if you take a walk after meals. That is what you told me before.
Tina: All right, let’s go.
Tina: Mark, do you know when the first modern Olympic Games were held?
Mark: Of course, the first modern Olympics were held in Athens in 1896. And Mr. Baron De Coubertin was the father of the modern Olympics.
Tina: Yes, he made a great contribution to the restoring of the Olympic Games. But I heard at that time women were not allowed to participate in the Games or even watch the Games, is that true?
Mark: Yes, that’s true. Women didn’t participate in the Olympic Games until the second modern Olympics. Moreover, there were only 295 competitors from 13 countries and areas who participated in 9 events.
Tina: But we know the development of any kind of event has a process to train the audiences.
Mark: I agree with you. At the first Olympic Games, there were only 9 events, but now it has developed into no less than 20.
讲解：
1. 在巴黎举行的第二届现代奥运会上妇女才被允许参赛，而不是第一届雅典奥运会。
2. 俗语: You may live up to 99 years, if you take a walk after meals. 就是我们经常说的“饭后百步走,活到九十九”。
3. 法国贵族顾拜旦是现代奥运会之父，Coubertin was the father of the modern Olympics.
4. 只有来自13个国家和地区的295选手参加了9项比赛, 其规模和影响远没有现在的奥运会大.
Dialogue Script 2 对话原文 2
Annie: Where are you heading for?
David: Take a walk. I just had dinner, and you?
Annie: I’m taking a walk too. I have just watched a game. It was really interesting.
David : Annie, do you know "Olympic Vow"?
Annie: Yes. 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, respeting 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."
David: Did it start from the 7th Games?
Annie: Yes, Besides taking an oath by the athletes, the flag was raised from that time as well.
David: Ah, yes, I know about the flags. There will be a handing-over and taking-over ceremony in each closing ceremony of the Olympic Games. The mayor of the host city will give the flag to president of the IOC, and president will hand it to the mayor of the next host city.
Annie: But do you know the flag raised at the opening ceremony of the Olympics is only a substitute? The host city treasures it after it receives the flag.
David: Oh, really? I didn’t know that. The flag was officially used on June 15, 1914. It was first raised at the celebration congress of the 20th anniversary restoration of the Olympic movement in Paris. Unfortunately, this Olympic flag was burned in the flames of WWI.
Annie: Then where does the flag we use now come from?
David: The flag we use now was made by the Belgium Olympic Committee in 1920 when the Games were held in Antwerp. It was given to the International Olympic Committee as a gift, which has been used since then.
Annie: It was passed down one games after another and it became an "heirloom".
讲解:

2.host city 主办城市。 host country 主办国。
3. 奥运会的宣誓词是由顾拜旦起草的"In the name of all competitors, I promise that we will take part in these Olympic Games, respeting 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."中文是 “ 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，为国家争得荣誉。”
4.在这届奥运会闭幕式上首次举行了会旗的交接仪式,。There will be a handing-over and taking-over ceremony in each closing ceremony of the Olympic Games. 这个仪式一直延续到今天。就是由奥运会主办城市的市长将会旗交给国际奥委会主席，主席再将会旗交给下届奥运会主办城市的市长。
5. IOC, the International Olympic Committee, 国际奥委会。现任的国际奥委会主席是比利时的雅克·罗格(Jacques Rogge)。
Dialogue Script 3 对话原文 3
Jimmy: Hi, Lucy.
Lucy: Hi, Jimmy. So nice to see you. I just got back from Berlin.
Jimmy: Really? I know Berlin was chosen as the host country for the 11th Olympics.
Lucy: Oh, yeah, about that, I know only a little. The IOC decided to choose Berlin in order to compel the rise of the power of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party.
