The Olympic Games
The Olympic Games were first held at Olympia Greece as long as 776 B.C.They were held once every four years.The custom (传统) lasted for more than 1,000 years but died out under the ruler of Rome and stopped with the decline (衰弱) of ancient Greek civilization (古希腊文明).
Then in 1896 the games were held again.In that year,a Frenchman,Baron de Cowbertin,decided to try to start the game again.He wished to renew (恢复) those thoughts of excellence (美德) of body,mind and spirits shown in the ancient Greek Olympics.He did it,and the modern Olympics have grown with more and more nations and athletes taken part in.Because of the world wars they were not held in 1916 or in 1940 or in 1944.They had been regularly (有规律的) held since then.
奥林匹克运动会于公元前776年在希腊的奥林匹亚首次举行,每四年一次.这一传统持续了1000多年,但在罗马的统治下逐渐消逝,最终随古希腊文明的衰落而停止了.
然而,在1896年,奥运会重新举行.那年,一位名叫顾拜旦的法国人决定尝试再次举办这一比赛,以恢复在古希腊奥运会上表现出的身体,思想和精神的美德理念.他成功了,越来越多的国家和运动员的参加使现代奥运不断发展.由于世界大战,1916年,1940年和1944年未能举行,但此后一直如期举行.
