Dialogue Script 1 對話原文1
Jason: Hello, Annie, you look very excited why?
Annie: Don't you hear the exciting news?
Jason: What is it? Come on, tell me!
Annie: Beijing will bid to host the 2008 Olympics.
Jason: Really?
Annie: Absolutely! I heard it on TV last night.
Jason: That's great!
Annie: Yes, Liu Qi, president of the Beijing Olympic Games Bid Committee said Beijing would host an unprecedented games, if Beijing had a chance.
Jason: I also heard He Zhenliang played a major role in developing Chinese sports.
Annie: Yes. He is a member of the International Olympic Committee, and he was president of the Chinese Olympic Committee, ever.
Ted: The Beijing Olympic Games Bid Committee is collecting the slogan of the 2008 Olympic Games. Do you know?
Annie: Yes, and I have posted mine.
Jason: Well, what's your motto?
Annie: Beijing Embraces the Olympics.
Jason: It's perfect. I expect the IOC will select Beijing as the host city in 2008. 
Annie: Me too. Beijing, good luck!
講解：
1.bid這個詞是申請的意思，舉辦2008年奧運會，就是bid to host the 2008 Olympics。
2.slogan和 motto都可以解釋為 “口號”的意思，這里Annie寄出去的Olympic Motto是Beijing Embraces the Olympics. 北京擁抱奧林匹克。
3. 大家要注意的是奧運會是由一個國家的城市而不是由一個國家承辦的，一個國家可以由幾個城市同時提出 申請。
4.The Beijing Olympic Games Bid Committee是北京申奧委員會, 主席是劉淇。
Dialogue Script 2 對話原文2
Joe: What a fine day! What about taking a walk?
Megan: Good idea. Where do you want to go?
Joe: I'd like to walk on the street.
Megan: The street look clearer and the air is fresher recently.
Joe: Yes, this is the result of Beijing's effort towards bidding for Olympics.
Megan: Oh, what are the people doing over there?
Joe: They're building the Olympic Village.
Megan: Look! That bulletin!
Joe: Yes, there are "Beijing Embraces the Olympics", "Bid the Olympics, include me" in it.
Megan: Yes, these are our mottos.
講解：
1. bid for Olympics也可以表示申辦奧運會，bid to host the Olympics也表示同一個意思。
2.奧運村：Olympic Village，在1932年首次在洛山磯出現了奧運村，以后歷屆奧運會都要為參賽的運動員們修建奧運村.
