奥运知识—奥林匹克精神之古代篇:团结的盛会

时间:2006-06-23 16:00:00

(单词翻译:单击)

The Games organised at Olympia led to the development of the Panhellenic Games, which also included:

- The Games at Delphi (Pythian Games)
- The Games at Corinth (Isthmian Games)
- The Games at Nemea (Nemean Games)

These Games were special because they brought the Greek1 world together at a time when Greece was not single state, but a series2 of city-states (politically and economically independent communities). From Greece and the colonies3 (in Italy, North Africa and Asia Minor), people travelled to take part in or attend these Games, inspired by the shared feeling of belonging to the same culture or religion.

文章大意

  在奥林匹亚召开的古代奥运会直接促成了泛希腊运动会的形成、发展,它还包括在德尔菲、科林斯和尼米举办的奥运会。它的特别之处是,在一定时期将全希腊的人带到一起,因为当时希腊还不是一个统一的国家,只是一些城邦(政治和经济独立的实体)。由文化或宗教的共同归属感所激励,人们从希腊本土或希腊殖民地(在意大利,北非和小亚细亚)赶来参加这个盛会。
