 AN INTERVIEW

采访 

Pausanias, who was a Greek writer about 2,000 years ago, has come on a magical journey on March 18th 2007 to find out about the present-day Olympic Games. 帕萨尼亚斯是大约2000年前的一位希腊作家，他于2007年3月18日作了一次魔幻旅行，来打听当代奥林匹克运动会的情况。He is now interviewing Li Yan, a volunteer for the 2008 Olympic Games. 现在他正在采访一位2008年奥林匹克运动会的志愿者李燕。

　　P: My name is Pausanias. I lived in what you call “Ancient Greece” and I used to write about the Olympic Games a long time ago. I’ve come to your time to find out about the present-day Olympic Games because I know that in 2004 they were held in my homeland. May I ask you some questions about the modern Olympics?

　　帕：我叫帕萨尼亚斯。我生活在你们所说的“古希腊”。我曾经写过很久以前奥林匹克运动会的情况。现在我来到你们这个时代，想了解有关当代奥运会的情况，因为我知道2004年奥运会是在我的祖国举行的。我可以问你几个有关现代奥林匹克运动会的问题吗?

　　L: Good heavens! Have you really come from so long ago? But of course you can ask any questions you like. What would you like to know?

　　李：天哪!你真的来自那么久远的年代?当然你可以问你想问的问题。你想知道什么呢?

　　P: How often do you hold your Games?

　　帕：你们的奥运会多久举行一次?

　　L: Every four years. There are two main sets of Games-the Winter and Summer Olympics, and both are held every four years on a regular basis. The Winter Olympics are usually held two years before the Summer Games. Only athletes who have reached the agreed standard for their event will be admitted as competitors. They may come from anywhere in the world.

　　李：每四年一次。运动会有两种：夏季奥运会和冬季奥运会。这两种运动会都是四年举行一次。冬季奥运会总是在夏季奥运会的前两年举行。只有达到他们各自项目统一标准的运动员才会被接受参加奥运会。选手可以来自全世界任何一个地方。

　　P: Winter Games? How can the runners enjoy competing in winter? And what about the horses?

　　帕：冬季奥运会?冬天运动员怎么可能赛跑啊?又怎么可能赛马呢?

　　L: Oh no! There are no running races or horse riding events. Instead there are competitions like skiing and ice skating which need snow and ice. That’s why they’re called the Winter Olympics. It’s in the Summer Olympics that you have the running races, together with swimming, sailing and all the team sports.

　　李：噢，不!冬奥会并不包括跑步和骑马比赛，但是却有像滑冰和滑雪这类需要冰雪的比赛项目，所以才叫它冬季奥运会。跑步、游泳、划船和一些团队项目是在夏季运动会上进行。

　　P: I see. Earlier you said that athletes are invited from all over the world. Do you mean the Greek world? Our Greek cities used to compete against each other just for the honour of winning. No other countries could join in, nor could slaves or women!

　　帕：我明白了。你原来说邀请来的运动员来自世界各地。你指的是希腊世界?我们希腊各个城市之间曾经为了赢得荣誉而彼此竞争。别的国家不能参加，奴隶和妇女也不能参加。

　　L: Nowadays any country can take part if their athletes are good enough. There are over 250 sports and each on has its own standard. Women are not only allowed, but play a very important role in gymnastics, athletics, team sports and …

　　李：现在只要他们的运动员达到了参赛的标准，任何国家都能参赛。总共有250多个运动项目，每个项目都有自己的标准。妇女不仅允许参加，而且她们还在体操、竞技和团队等比赛项目中起着非常重要的作用……

　　P: Please wait a minute! All those events, all those countries and even women taking part! Where are all the athletes housed?

　　帕：请等一下!所有这么多项目，所有这么多国家，甚至妇女也都参加!所有这些参赛的人住在哪里呢?

　　L: For each Olympics, a special village is built for them to live in, a main reception building, several stadiums for competitions, and a gymnasium as well.

　　李：每届奥运会都有一个特殊的村庄(奥运村)供参赛的人住，一个主要的接待大楼，好几个供比赛用的体育场，还有一个室内体育馆。

　　P: That sounds very expensive. Does anyone want to host the Olympic Games?

　　帕：那听起来要花很多钱吧。会有人想承办奥运会吗?

　　L: As a matter of fact, every country wants the opportunity. It’s a great responsibility but also a great honour to be chosen. There’s as much competition among countries to host the Olympics as to win Olympic medals. The 2008 Olympics will be held in Beijing, China. Did you know that?

　　李：事实上，每个国家都想抓住这个机会。被选中不仅要承担巨大的责任同时也享有极大的荣誉。国与国之间争取奥运会承办权的竞争就跟争夺奥运奖牌一样的激烈。2008年的奥运会将在中国举行，你知道吗?

　　P: Oh yes! You must be very proud.

　　帕：是的，听说过，你一定很自豪。

　　L: Certainly. And after that the 2012 Olympics will be held in London. They have already started planning for it. A new village for the athletes and all the stadiums will be built to the east of London. New medals will be designed of course and …

　　李：当然。那么2012年的奥运会将在伦敦举行。他们现在已开始筹划。在伦敦的东部将为运动员建立一个新的奥运村和所有的运动场。当然还会设计新的奖牌……

　　P: Did you say medals? So even the olive wreath has been replaced! Oh dear! Do you compete for prize money too?

　　帕：你刚才说奖牌是吗?就连橄榄枝花环也被取代了!天哪，你们也为奖金而竞赛吗?

　　L: No, we don’t. it’s still all about being able to run faster, jump higher and throw further. That’s the motto of the Olympics, you know-“Swifter, Higher and Stronger.”

　　李：不，不是的。仍然是为了能够跑得更快，跳得更高，掷得更远。你知道，奥运会的口号就是“更快，更高，更强”。

　　P: Well, that’s good news. How interesting! Thank you so much for your time.

帕：这是个好消息。很有趣!占用了你的时间，非常感谢。

THE STORY OF ATLANTA

亚特兰大的故事

Atlanta was a Greek princess. She was very beautiful and could run faster than any man in Greece. But she was not allowed to run and win glory for herself in the Olympic Games. She was so angry that she said to her father that she would not marry anyone who could not run faster than her. Her father said that she must marry, so Atlanta made a bargain with him. She said to him,“These are my rules. When a man says he wants to marry me, I will run against him. If he cannot run as fast as me, he will be killed. No one will be pardoned.”

亚特兰大是一个希腊公主。她长得非常漂亮，并且跑得比任何一个希腊男人都快。但却不允许她在奥林匹克运动会上赛跑，去为她自己赢得荣耀。她是如此生气，以致于她对她的父亲说，她不会嫁给不如她跑得快的人。她的父亲说，她必须嫁人，所以亚特兰大与她父亲达成了一个协议。她说：“我有我的原则。如果一个男人说他想娶我，我要与他赛跑。如果他不能跑得比我快，就杀死他。任何人不能得到赦免。”

Many kings and princes wanted to marry Atlanta, but when they heard of her rules they knew it was hopeless. So many of them sadly went home, but others stayed to run the race. There was a man called Hippomenes who was amazed when he heard of Atlanta's rules, “Why are these men so foolish?” he thought. “Why will they let themselves be killed because they cannot run as fast as this princess?” However, when she saw Atlanta come out of her house to run, Hippomenes changed his mind. “I will marry Atlanta—or die!” he said.  

许多国王和王子想要迎娶亚特兰大，不过当他们听到这个规定的时候他们就知道自己没有希望了。所以他们当中很多人都伤心地回家了，不过也有一些人留下来要赛跑。有一个叫做希波墨涅斯的男人听到亚特兰大的条件后感到非常吃惊。他想：“为什么这些男人都这么愚蠢呢?为什么他们会因为不如这个公主跑得快而让自己被杀死呢?”然而，当他看到亚特兰大从她的房子出来跑步的时候，希波墨涅斯改变了他的注意。他说：“我要迎娶亚特兰大，否则就去死!”

The race started and although the men ran very fast, Atlanta ran faster. As Hippomenes watched he thought, "How  can I run as fast as Atlanta?" He went to ask the Greek Goddess of Love for help. She promised to help him and gave him three golden apples. She said,“Throw an apple in front of Atlanta when she is running past. When she stops to pick it up, you will be able to run past her and win.”Hippomenes took the apples and went to the King. He said,“I want to marry Atlanta.” The King was sad to see another man die, but Hippomenes said, “I will marry her—or die!”So the race began.

赛跑开始了，尽管男人们都跑得很快，但是亚特兰大跑得更快。希波墨涅斯边看边想，“我要怎样才能跑得和亚特兰大一样快呢?”他去向希腊爱情女神求助。爱神答应帮助他并给了他三个金苹果。她说：“当亚特兰大跑过你的时候，你就把一个苹果扔在她面前。当亚特兰大停下来去捡苹果的时候，你将有能力跑过她并赢得比赛。”希波墨涅斯拿着苹果并去找国王。他说：“我要娶亚特兰大。”国王很忧伤，因为又要看着一个男人去送死，但是希波墨涅斯说：“我要娶她，要不我就去死!”于是赛跑开始了。
