　　“奧運精神”(提示：跨欄的英文為hurdle n./v.)

　　范文：

　　In the photo is someone most of us are familiar with, Liu Xiang, the young Chinese Olympic gold medal winner in hurdling. The photo captures a key moment when he was striving to cross one hurdle, concentrating all his attention and strength. His success strongly retorts the rumor that Chinese are genetically weak in the track and fields.

　　Not only has Liu Xiang won national pride for the Chinese people, his deeds also instill us with a belief that, whenever equipped with sufficient willingness and efforts, we can always fulfill the Olympic motto of being faster, higher and stronger. That is to say, such a spirit can be adopted in everybody’s life and work, spurring people to overcome any difficulty and conquer any challenge. Moreover, if the Olympic motto is thoroughly promoted along with China’s opportunity to hold the 2008 Olympic Games, it can be a tremendous momentum pushing the country’s development.

　　A good example that echoes this spirit is Zhang Haidi, the famous Chinese disabled writer. In spite of her physical disadvantages, she has managed to study eight languages by herself, and has yielded numerous works and translations. She, as well as Liu Xiang, proves that the power of individual willingness can be transformed into splendid accomplishment.

　　譯文：

　　這張照片的主人公是一個我們都十分熟悉的人物，著名的中國跨欄運動員、奧運會金牌得主劉翔。照片抓住了劉翔集中所有力量正在跨欄的精彩時刻。他的成功雄辯地反駁了認為中國人在體質上不善于田徑運動的說法。

　　劉翔不僅為中國人們贏得了自豪感，他的事跡也給了我們這樣一個信念，即只要有足夠的努力和信念，我們就可以達到奧林匹克箴言提出的“更高、更快、更強”的目標。也就是說，這個箴言也適用人們的工作和生活，鼓勵我們克服任何困難、戰(zhàn)勝任何挑戰(zhàn)。此外，如果奧林匹克箴言借中國舉辦2008奧運會的機會可以得到充分的推動的話，那么它就會轉化為推動國家發(fā)展的巨大動力。

　　反映這種精神的一個很好例子就是張海迪精神，她是中國著名的殘疾人作家。盡管她的身體上有缺陷，但她卻自學了八種語言、創(chuàng)作了許多作品和翻譯作品。她和劉翔一樣，都證明了個人意志可以轉變成為偉大的成就。
