  奥林匹克格言是:“更快、更高、更强”。它是国际奥委会对所有参与奥林匹克运动的人们的号召,号召他们本着奥林匹克的精神奋力向上。阅读下文,你可知道这句格言由来。
  
  A friend of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, Father Henri Martin Didon, of the Dominican order, was principal of the Arcueil College, near Paris. An energetic teacher, he used the discipline of sport as a powerful educational tool.
  
  One day, following an interschools athletics meeting, he ended his speech with fine oratorical vigour, quoting the three words “Citius, Altius, Fortius” (faster, higher, stronger).
  
  Struck by the succinctness of this phrase, Baron Pierre de Coubertin made it the Olympic motto, pointing out that“Athletes need ‘freedom of excess’. That is why we gave them this motto-a motto for people who dare to try to break records.”
  
  This phrase, “Citius, Altius, Fortius” is the Olympic Motto.
  
  The Olympic Game is the international arena viewed by millions where the athlete’s spirit, mind and body endeavour to excel and achieve the higher standard than the presently existing ones; thus fulfilling the Olympic Motto.
  
  奥林匹克格言是:“更快、更高、更强”。它是国际奥委会对所有参与奥林匹克运动的人们的号召,号召他们本着奥林匹克的精神奋力向上。阅读下文,你可知道这句格言的由来。
  
  皮埃尔·德·顾拜旦男爵的一个朋友——巴黎附近的阿格伊学院院长亨利·迪登(他也是多米尼加教会的神父)是位精力充沛的老师。他曾使用运动纪律作为强有力的教育工具。
  
   有一天,开完校际田径运动会后,他发表了雄辩有力的演讲,演讲结尾引用了这三个词“更快、更高、更强”。
  
  这句话简洁有力,受此感染,皮埃尔·德·顾拜旦男爵将它作为奥运格言,指出:“运动员需要‘超越的自由’。这就是我们送给他们这个格言的原因——一个为那些敢于尝试打破记录的人们而写的格言。”
  
   这句“更快、更高、更强”就是奥运格言。
  
   奥运会是全世界数百万观众瞩目的国际赛场,在这里,运动员的精神、意念和身体能力都要达到或超越比现存更高的标准,这也就实践了奥运格言。

悲伤的时候我常常不愿意听《黄昏》,小刚那沙哑的声音加上悲伤的曲风,常常让人浮想联翩,心情也难免低沉。但单纯从音乐角度,《黄昏》这首歌是周传雄创作的一个高峰,它把小刚从幕后推到了台前,从而奠定了其在台湾流行音乐的地位。而《黄昏》这首歌曲也被翻译成英语、马来语而在世界传唱。本期的《Betrayal》就是《黄昏》的英文版。    歌手: 周传雄  专辑: transfer    My love has
