了解“殘奧會(huì)”
[ 2006-09-07 10:09 ]
看下面這幅圖片,認(rèn)出來(lái)了吧?北京2008年殘疾人奧運(yùn)會(huì)吉祥物“福牛樂(lè)樂(lè)”。請(qǐng)看圖片相關(guān)文字說(shuō)明:

A man watches between Fu Niu Leles, the official mascot of theBeijing 2008 Paralympic Games, during a launching ceremony at the foot of the Great Wall's Badaling section, in Beijing September 6, 2006. Lele is unveiled Wednesday night to mark the two-year countdown to the opening of the Paralympic Games. |
相對(duì)于“奧運(yùn)會(huì)”,了解“殘奧會(huì)”的人并不多?!皻垔W會(huì)”原是為“脊髓病患者”舉行的運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì),由圖片可知,其相應(yīng)的英文表達(dá)是:the Paralympic Games。很明顯,paralympic由詞綴para-(在……一旁,在……旁邊)和-(O)lympic(奧林匹克)合成而來(lái),它延續(xù)了奧林匹克團(tuán)結(jié)友愛(ài)、公平競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的精神,同時(shí)又充分表達(dá)了奧運(yùn)會(huì)和殘奧會(huì)平等共存的關(guān)系。
另外,再順便再?gòu)?fù)習(xí)兩個(gè)早先學(xué)過(guò)的單詞:countdown(倒計(jì)時(shí));mascot(吉祥物)。
