Good afternoon ,ladies and gentlemen :
下午好,女士們,先生們.
It's my honor to present my speech here today.The title of my speech is ,"The Essence of Life."
今天能在這里發表我的演說是我的榮幸.我演講的題目是生命的真諦.
Last summer I began to learn play tennis.Though it took me a lot of time to practice,the tremendous pleasure I got from on the tennis court made me feel well rewarded .
去年夏天,我開始學打網球.練習花了我大量的時間,但是我發現在網球場上的無盡歡愉讓我感覺收獲非淺.
Eevery time when I brandished the racket to hit the ball and watch it flying over the net ,
每次揮舞球拍擊球時,看著它飛越球網,
I always think of the words inscribed on the rock of Mount Olympia:"If you want to lead a happy and upward life ,just run."
我總會想到刻在奧林匹克山石上的話;"如果你想過一種幸福向上的生活,跑吧."
Ture,sports can lift our begins by giving us a healthy body ,without which it is impossible for us to enjoy our life.
誠然,體育運動給我們一個健康的身體,提高我們的素質,沒有它我們不可能享受生活.
Sports can also ennoble our minds by bringing us close to nature and close to the essence of life.
體育運動讓我們具有崇高的理想,讓我們接近自然,接近生命的真諦.
My gandmother is almost 80 years old now, but she still keeps playing Taijiquan every morning.
我奶奶現在已經快八十歲了,但她仍然堅持每天早上練太極拳.她總是告訴我:
"It's happy beginning of a brand new day!"she alwasys told me .My friend and I take part in sports like tennis,badminton and swimming.
"這是新的一天快樂的開始!"我和我的朋友參加體育運動如打網球,羽毛球和游泳.
My boy classmates ,by contrast,enjoy ball games .Hundreds of boys playing basketball on the playground every afternoon always makes the best campus picture that draws thousands of girls' eyes.
而我的男同學就喜歡球類運動,每天下午上千個男孩子在操場上打籃球成了校園里一道最美的風景,吸引了上萬雙女孩子的眼睛.
Sport can not only improve our physique and relax our mind ,but can also bring us close to nature, and enable us to enjoy our lives fully.
體育運動不僅提高我們的體質,輕松大腦,而且可以讓我們更接近生命的真諦,讓我們能夠充分享受生活.
Indeed ,the essence of sports lies not so much in the fun that they can give us ,but in their capactities to work miracles for our body and soul.
確實,體育運動的精髓不只是在于樂趣,而是它在我們的身體和靈魂里產生的奇跡.
Or,as the goal of the Olympic Games indicates ,it can make us run faster ,jump higher ,and physically stronger .
正如奧運會的目標所指,它能夠讓我們跑得更快,跳得更高,身體更強壯.
A nation of weakings can never be expected to go anywhere culturally and economically .
一個體質孱弱的民族無論到哪里,文化和經濟都不能立足.
Perhaps it is in recognition of this China is bidding for hosting the Olympic Games in 2008.
可能認識到這些,所以中國申辦二零零八年奧運會.
As a country of a written history of over 5,000 years, China hopes to run faster in the global race of economic advancement,to stand taller in the international political arena ,and to bring new vitalities to our ancient civilization .
作為一個具有五千年悠久歷史的國家,中國希望在全球經濟發展的步伐中跑得更快,在國際政治舞臺上站得更高,為我們的古代文明注入新的活力.
Also it hopes to show the upward outlook and physical fitness of its people.
而且她希望向世界展示自己民族積極向上的精神面貌和強壯的體魄.
I still remember one MTV I saw about the World Cup in 1998.In this MTV,kids with different natinalities are running through different places like seashore,
我仍然記得一九九八年有關世界杯的一個MTV,在這個MTV里,具有不同國籍的小孩子在不同的地方如海灘,
desert ,downtown ,and crowded slum areas.They share one thing in common :
沙漠,市區,擁擠的貧民區奔跑.他們在分享同一件事情:
They are all playing football .I was greatly touched .What is the most amazing feature of sports?
他們都在踢足球.我被深深打動了,體育運動最令人驚異的特征是什么?
It is a common language spoken by all nations under heaven.It is an art without cultural boundary that can be appreciated by everyone on earth.
它是天底下所有民族的共同語言,它是毫無文化界限的藝術,是能為世上每一個人所欣賞的.
In sports ,it no longer matters what your skin color is like,which language you speak ,or where you come from .
在體育運動中,不再計較你是什么膚色,說哪種語言,或者是來自何方.
It is the joy that we share from sports that counts.I am confidentthat ,as the captial of over ten dynasties.
重要的是在運動中分享的喜悅.我相信作為十個朝代的都城,
if Beijing succeeds in this bid ,it can make the Olympic Game one of the happiest festivals of the world ,
北京如果申辦成功,那將使奧運會成為世界最快樂的節目之一,
a festival where we can best realize our dream of "faster,higher and stronger ,"and a festival where the essence of life and the essence of sports can be best embodied .
一個最能實現我們"更快,更高和更強"的夢想的節日,一個最能體現生命的真諦和運動的真諦的節日.
So my friends,let's all pray and hope that Beijing will eventually become the host of Olympic Games in 2008 .
所以朋友們,讓我們祈禱和希望北京能最終取得二零零八年奧運會的主辦權.
Let's all looking forward to the day when we can get here together again to celebrate the grandest festival of joy that humanity has ever witnessed!

如果我沒弄錯的話,你說奧林匹克的精神是更快,更高和更強.
But one thing that troubles me about the Olympics is that the pressure to be faster,higher,stronger is so great sometimes that it passes beyond the point where it's healthy .
但是我感到困擾的是在奧林匹克的重壓下,更快,更高,更強有時太過分而超過了健康的觀點.

I think it is a public sports that we should promote to a kind of national ,nation-wide popularization .
我們應該把它提倡為所有民族的運動,全民化運動.
