Dialogue

A:

莉莉，你好！我听说你被选为

2008

年奥运会志愿者，祝贺你！我刚来北京，对于中国即

将举行的奥运会也非常感兴趣，< /p>

你能不能简单地告诉我一些关于北京奥运会的基本信息呢？

B:

Thank

you,

Jay,

of

course

I

can

tell

you

something.

As

a

volunteer,

I

have

the

responsibility to promote the Beijing Olympic Games. What would you like to know?

A:

太好了！我想知道的东西太多了。比如说，北京奥运会的 口号、吉祥物和理念，还有

志愿者工作，中国不同的奥运场馆 和奥运城市。对这些我都很感兴趣。

B: Oh, no problem, I will explain to you one by one. First, let’s talk about the

slogan

of

the

Beijing

Games.

That

is

―One

World,

One

Dream.‖

This

slogan

reflects

the

essence of the universal values of the Olympic spirit. In spite of our differences, we

come

together

for

the

Olympic

Games.

This

slogan

was

chosen

from

thousands

of

proposals submitted by people across China and around the world.

A:

成千上万条提议，数量可真不少！

B:

―One

World,

One

Dream‖

is

simple

in

expression,

but

profound

in

meaning.

It

conveys the lofty ideal of the people in Beijing, as well as in China, i.e., the Chinese

people and the world people share the same globe and will create a bright future hand

in

hand.

It

also

voices

the

aspiration

of

the

Chinese

people

to

contribute

to

the

establishment of a peaceful and beautiful world.

A:

< br>我明白了，它的意义确实很深远。这个口号肯定也反映了北京奥运会的主要理念吧？

B: Yes, you are right. This slogan also reflects the core concept of the Beijing Games.

The

concept

can

be

understood

in

three

aspects;

they

are

―green

Olympics‖,

―high

-

tech Olympics‖, and ―people’s Olympics‖. It also

reflects the common belief in

peace,

progress

and

harmonious

development,

living

together

in

friendship,

cooperation and mutual benefit, and pursuit of happy life.

A:

很高兴能了解这些。我的朋友买了一套北京奥运会福娃玩 具，非常可爱，我听说北京

奥运会的吉祥物是好几个可爱的东 西构成的，你能给我解释一下吗？

B:

With

pleasure.

The

mascot

of

Beijing

Games

is

indeed

composed

of

five

pretty

parts. In Chinese, mascot literally means an auspicious object, something that brings

you good luck. There are five mascots for the Beijing 2008 Games, known as Fuwa,

to match the five Olympic rings. Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan,

the

Olympic

Flame,

Yingying,

the

Tibetan

Antelope

and

Nini,

the

Swallow.

When

you put their

names together they say ―Beijing Welcomes You.‖

A: < /p>

哦，那你能具体给我讲讲他们都长什么样吗？都有些什么特定的文化含义呢？

B: Sure. In their headpieces, you can see the five elements of nature

—

the sea, forest,

fire,

earth

and

sky

—

all

stylistically

rendered

in

ways

that

represent

the

deep

traditional influences of Chinese folk art and ornament

ation. Let’s first look at Beibei.

Beibei is the fish. In China’s

traditional culture and art, fish are symbols of prosperity.

Jingjing is the

Fuwa in the form of a panda. The lotus designs in Jingjing’s headdress,

which

are

inspired

by

the

porcelain

paintings

of

the

Song

Dynasty,

represent

the

desire to preserve the beauty of nature for all generations.

A:

唔，人与自然和睦相处，很好的寓意。

B: Yes. Huanhuan is a child of fire, symbolizing the Olympic Flame and the passion

of sport. The fiery designs of his head ornament are drawn from the famed Dunhuang

murals.

Then

is

Yingying,

which

is

a

fast

and

agile

antelope.

His

head

ornament

1

incorporates

several

decorative

styles

from

the

Qinghai-Tibet

and

Xinjiang

cultures

and the ethnic design traditions of the west regions in China. The last Fuwa is Nini.

Nini draws inspiration from the golden- winged swallow kites of China, traditionally

one of the

most popular designs. Swallow is also pronounced ―yanzi‖ in Chinese, and

Yanjing is what Beijing was called as an ancient capital city.

A:

听起来真精彩，中国人民真有想象力。我喜欢鱼，也许我 会为自己买一个北北福娃。

对了，莉莉，作为自己国家奥运会 的志愿者，你肯定非常自豪吧。我太羡慕你了。中

国有多少奥运志愿者呢，你们具体的工作是什么呢？

B: Yes, I am quite proud to be selected as one of the volunteers for the Games. You

know,

during

the

2008

Beijing

Olympics

and

Paralympics,100,000

volunteers

will

provide direct services to visitors and athletes, the largest number of volunteers in any

Olympic games.

A:

十万人，哇，人数可真多！

B:

The

Beijing

Volunteer

Association

in

cooperation

with

various

media

organizations launched the ―Smiling Beijing‖ campaign on

August 8, 2006, and the

citizens of Beijing will smile to all visitors to express their enthusiasm and hospitality.

The slogan of the Campaign is ―The smile of

the volunteers is the best name card of

Beijing‖.

In

terms

of

our

job,

it

mainly

includes

reception,

transportation,

security,

medical

aid,

game

operation

support,

venue-operation

support,

news-operation

support, and support in organizing various cultural activities.

A:

听起来很有趣，我真希望我也是一名志愿者。对了，我喜 欢看马术比赛，我在报纸上

看到马术比赛将会在香港进行。除 了北京和香港，还有其他的奥运城市和场地吗？

B:

Yes.

Not

all

of

the

events

for

the

Beijing

Games

will

be

held

in

Beijing.

For

example, the equestrian events you mentioned will be held at the Hong Kong Sports

Institute in Sha Tin. Sailing will take place in Qingdao, Shandong Province. Football

will take place in Shanghai, Qinhuangdao, and Tianjin. Regarding sports venues, the

two

most

well-known

are

the

Bird’s

Nest

and

the

Water

Cube,

also

known

as

the

National Stadium and the National Aquatics Center respectively. The grand opening

and

closing

ceremonies

will

be

held

in

Bird’s

Nest,

and

the

Water

Cube

will

host

various

aquatic

events,

including

swimming,

diving,

synchronized

swimming,

and

water polo during the Olympics.

A:

我已经等不及想看比赛并成为北京奥运的亲历者了

.

非常感谢你，莉莉，我学到了好

多东西。

B: You are welcome, Jay.
