Good morning ,honorable judges ,ladies and gentlemen .One hot summer afternoon many years ago,
早上好，尊敬的评委，女士们，先生们。许多年前的一个炎热的夏天下午，
I saw my parents sitting before a small black and white TV set , fixing their eyes on a proceeding volleyball match .
我看见父母坐在一部小黑白电视机前，目不转睛地看着一场正在进行的排球比赛。
They looked attentive ,nervous and excited .Sometimes they shouted enthusiastically ,
他们看得那样专注，紧张和兴奋，他们有时激动地大喊，
and sometimes sighted disappointedly .What was going on?
有时失望地叹息。怎么回事？
Never has I seen my parents reacted so excitedly in any cases before.It must've been something very special.
以前我从没有见过父母为任何事情如此兴奋过，一定有什么特别的事情。
It was the Olympics Games, my parents told me .But how can a single sprots meeting be so charming and attractive?
我父母告诉我，那是奥运会，但是一个运动会怎么会如此有魅力和吸引人？
Is it simply the huge scene of so many athletes meeting and competing together ?
那只是许多运动员汇聚一起竞赛的巨大场面而已。
I was too young to understand .
我太小而无法理解。
Years later it was my turn to sit before the TV,watching each game with devoted enthusiasm,
多年以后，轮到我坐在电视机前，全神贯注地观看每一场比赛，
especially with China's teams' participation .I came to realize why my parents had been so much stirred up .
特别是有中国队参加的比赛。我终于明白我的父母为什么如此兴奋了。
With thousands of sports players,regardless of their races and nationalities ,gathering together .
随着成千上万的运动员，不管他们的种族和国籍，相聚一起，
running ,jumping ,dashing ,the Olympics exhibits fully its spirit :swifter ,higher ,and stronger .
长跑，跳高跳远，短跑，充分体现了奥运精神，更快，更高和更强。
However ,I felt it was not simply the athletic competition ,the emotional excitement,the spectacular enjoyment ,
但是，我觉得那不单是运动员的竞技，情绪和兴奋，视觉的享受，
but there must be something more ,something deeper ,behind it and beyond it .
而是在它的后面和上面蕴含更多，更深。
Picture in your mind:the American jazz music in LosAngles ,Alirang in Seoul ,bullfighting in Barcelona,Aborigines dance in Sydney ,
你的脑海中有如此图象：洛杉矶的美国爵士，汉城的发歌《阿里郎》，巴赛罗那的斗牛，悉尼的土著舞，
all these reflected the amazing attraction of the nation's culture .The running cities of the Olympics are fortunate,
所有这些都反映了一个国家文化的惊人的吸引力。奥运会的主办城市是幸运的，
for the Games besttowned on them pride and offered them golden opportunities to show the world themselves and their splendid culture .
奥运会授予他们荣誉，为他们提供展现自我和他们的辉煌文化的黄金机会。
As the Olympics travels aroung the world from one city to another city ,from one culture to another culture ,
随着奥运会从一个城市转到另一个城市，从一个文化到另外一种文化，
it absorbs diversities of each separate civilization and makes itself more completed every four years.
它吸收了各种各样不同的文明。每隔四年就使自己更加完美。
To me,that is the most important meaning of the Olympics and Beijing's bid for the 2008 Olympic Games.
对我来说，这就是奥运会和北京申办二零零八年奥运会的最重要的意义。
Beijing is not simply bidding for a sports meeting ,but also bidding for a chance to display herself and her cultural essence to the whole worl
北京不仅仅是申办一个运动会，申奥是向世界展示自己文化精髓的时机
Giving Beijing her chance the 2008 Olympics Games will be a grand occasion for the perfect combination of the Olympic spirit and Chinese culture .
给予北京一个机会，二零零八年奥运会盛会将是奥运会精神和中国文化的完美结合。
For centuries ,this grand culture has remaind a mystery to people from the other continents of the world.
几个世纪以来，这个辉煌的文化对于其他洲的人是一个谜。
Even at the present era ,means to understand it for may only include some Chinese -made movies ,
即使在现代，大多数人认识中国都是通过中国电影，
or visits to China towns in the cities where they live.The chinese culture is just like a vast treasure island waiting to be tapped by most of the world's population .
和他们住的唐人街。中国文化就像一个蕴含宝藏的岛屿，等待世界大部分人来开发，
The Olympics is just the gateway to that island. I always imagine ,in the antique city of Beijing ,alongside with the Forbidden City ,
而奥运会只是进入宝岛的大门。我总在想象，在北京这个古城里，和紫禁城，
the Great wall and the Summer Palace ,stands a beautiful ,Chinese-style Olympic city in which all those things about serial bells,
长城和颐和园一起形成了一个有中国特色的奥运城，里面蕴藏着古钟楼，京剧院，
about dragon dance, about the spacious courtyards, all the stories and tales about spacious courtyards ,echo around.
舞龙，还有关于大四合院的所有故事和传说，
In the year of 2008 ,it will be the time for China to unveil the mystery of its splendid and superb ancient civilization ;
二零零八年是中国揭开笼罩着它的辉煌璀璨的古代文明的神秘面纱，
it will be the time for China to demonstrate to the world the demeanor of its dramatic and dynamic new image.
是中国展示它引人注目的和生机勃勃的新形象的时候。
In the year of 2008,if fortune comes to Beijing ,it will be the place where sports and culture join ,
二零零八年，如果好运降临在北京上，那是体育与文化相结合，
where history and fashion meet,where the east and the west shake hands under the five rings of the Olympics.
历史与潮流相结合，东西方在奥运会的五环下握手的地方。
To bid for the 2008 Olympic Games,Beijing is waiting for such a chance to contribute her part to the Olympic culture as a whole.
申办二零零八年奥运会，是北京等着为奥林匹克文化贡献一分力量的机会。
Without China's participation ,without a civilization that was cultivated by one fifth of the world's population ,
没有中国的参与，没有世界五分之一人口创造的文明，
the Olympic culture ,as a gloal one ,will never be completed.On that unforgettable night in Montreal in 1993,
奥林匹克文化作为一个全球文化是不完整的。在一九九三年蒙特利尔的那个难忘的夜晚，
When Beijing lost her bid for the 2000 Olympic Game,it was not only a pity for Olympics ,
当北京失去了二零零零年奥运会的主办权，那不仅是奥运会的遗憾，
but also a pity for the whole world,because they had lost an earlier chance to access a great culture through this grand event.
也是全世界的遗憾，因为他们失去了通过一次盛会更早地认识如此辉煌的文化的机会。
This time I don't think they shall miss it ,for Beijing is ready ,
这一次我想他们不会错过它，因为北京在准备，
China is ready ,the whole world is ready ,to see the sacred Olympic flame burning on this sacred land.Thank you.
中国在准备，世界在准备观看奥运圣炎在这块社圣的土地上点燃。谢谢。

They 're fighting .They 're in the war.But only in the Olympic games,they can be standing there hand in hand.
他们在争斗，他们在战争。但是只有在奥运会上，他们才能手牵手站在一起。
World pople are seeing these in the TV .They are not really excited by such a scene that they are chasing for the higher goals.
