同學們!現(xiàn)代奧林匹克運動是一項國際性的社會運動，它不僅是人類社會體育運動史上規(guī)模最大的體育活動，對世界體育的發(fā)展起著舉足輕重的作用，也是人類史上一個宏大的社會文化現(xiàn)象。它已成為人類社會和平、友誼和進步的象征，“更快、更高、更強”的奧林匹克格言，已成為人類戰(zhàn)勝自我，不斷進取的精神力量。明年夏季第二十九屆奧運會將在我國北京舉辦，作為青年學生我們應該以實際行動“迎奧運、講文明、樹新風”，首先我們必須對奧運會的知識要有所了解。

　　ladies and gentlemen:

　　i am pleased to serve as your guide today.

　　this is the palace museum; also know as the purple forbidden city. it is the largest and most well reserved imperial residence in china today. under ming emperor yongle, construction began in 1406. it took 14years to build the forbidden city. the first ruler who actually lived here was ming emperor zhudi. for five centuries thereafter, it continued to be the residence of23 successive emperors until 1911 when qing emperor puyi was forced to abdicate the throne .in 1987, the united nations educational, scientific and cultural organization recognized the forbidden city was a world cultural legacy.

　　it is believed that the palace museum, or zi jin cheng (purple forbidden city), got its name from astronomy folklore, the ancient astronomers divided the constellations into groups and centered them around the ziwei yuan(north star). the constellation containing the north star was called the constellation of heavenly god and star itself was called the purple palace. because the emperor was supposedly the son of the heavenly gods, his central and dominant position would be further highlighted the use of the word purple in the name of his residence. in folklore, the term ”an eastern purple cloud is drifting” became a metaphor for auspicious events after a purple cloud was seen drifting eastward immediately before the arrival of an ancient philosopher, laozi, to the hanghu pass. here, purple is associated with auspicious developments. the word jin (forbidden) is self-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-limits to ordinary people.
