The OLYMPIC FLAG英語作文

　　The OLYMPIC FLAG

　　現(xiàn)代奧運會創(chuàng)始人顧拜旦于1913－1914年間設計了奧運會的會旗，奧運會會旗和奧運會圣火的含義。它由5個奧林匹克環(huán)從左至右套接而成，可以是單色，也可以是藍、黃、黑、綠、紅5種顏色。最初的解釋是五種顏色代表各國國旗的顏色，后來又將5個不同顏色的圓環(huán)解釋為五大洲的象征。1920年，奧林匹克旗第一次飄揚在安特衛(wèi)普夏季奧運會體育場。這屆奧運會后，歷屆奧運會開幕式上由上屆舉辦城市轉(zhuǎn)交此旗，由舉辦城市保存，比賽期間主運動場僅懸掛代用品。

　　Baron de Coubertin designed the Olympic Flag in 1913-14. It has five interlocking rings (blue, yellow, black, green and red) on a white background. The ring's colours were based on the knowledge that at least one of these colours is on every flag of each participating country. The five interlocking rings represent the union of the five continents and the meeting of the athletes of the world at the Olympic Game.

　　The Olympic Flag was used for the first time in the 7th Olympiad in Antwerp, Belgium in 1920. It is paraded during the opening ceremony of each Game. At the end of the Games, the Olympic Flag is presented to the next host city by the Games host city.

　　The OLYMPIC FLAME

　　圣火起源于古希臘神話傳說。相傳古希臘神普羅米修斯為解救饑寒交迫的人類，瞞著宙斯偷取火種帶到人間。古希臘在每屆奧運會舉行以前，人們都要在赫拉神廟前點燃圣火。現(xiàn)代奧運會創(chuàng)立后，當圣火被點燃的.那一剎那，本屆奧運會圣火的傳遞活動即宣告圓滿結(jié)束。隨著奧運會的結(jié)束，本屆奧運會圣火也將被熄滅。第一次火炬接力活動是從1936年柏林奧運會開始的。

　　A flame was lit during the entire event of the Olympics during the ancient Olympic Game known as the Olympic Flame.

　　A new flame is lit using a parabolic mirror to focus the rays of the Sun at the ancient Olympic Stadium in Olympia, Elis, Greece. The Flame is then transported to the host city where the last runner lights the large Olympic Cauldron by it and this burns throughout the Games. The Flame is extinguished during the closing ceremony. The Olympic Flame was first lit during the opening ceremony of the IX Olympic Games at Amsterdam, Netherlands in 1928.

　　The first Olympic Torch Relay occurred at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games.
