奥运英语情景对话：08北京绿色奥运
|
十几年前，北京仅以2票这差惜败于悉尼（sydney），一条重要的原因就是环保，悉尼正是打出“环保牌”才最终赢得了奥运会的主办权。在2000年悉尼奥运会赛场上我们可以看到绿草茵茵。我们在惋惜自己失败的同时，更应该吸取悉尼成功的经验。环境保护不仅是我们申奥、举办奥运会的口号，更是造福于中国人民的千秋大业。绿色奥运（the Green Olympics）是我们应该铭记的目标。 Dialogue: A: Do you know what the main feature the Sydney Olympics is, John? 你知道悉尼奥运会还有一个什么特点吗？ B: Of course, I know. 我当然知道。 A: What? 什么特点？ B: Environmental protection. 环保啊！ A: Do you know when IOC put forward the issue of environmental protection? 你知道国际奥委会在哪一年提出环保课题的吗？ B: Sorry, I have no idea about it. 抱歉，这我还真不知道。 A: Let me tell you. In 1991. At that time, Sydney put forward the slogan "environmental protection", thus, it won the bid. 让我来告诉你，那是1991年。当时，悉尼正是打出“环保牌”才赢得申办权。 B: What a nice memory! Oh, I know that Beijing and Sydney bid for the Olympic Games together. 好记性！噢，我知道那时北京和悉尼一起参加申奥。 A: Yeah, Sydney had five strate-gies: save energy, save water, reduce trash, prevent pollution, and protect the environmnet. They tried to host a "Green Olympics". 不错，悉尼有五大战略，即：节能、节水、减少垃圾、防止污染与保护环境。他们要办一届“绿色奥运”。 B: They have racked their brain. 他们可谓绞尽脑汁。 A: Yes. Even the torch and fuel are produced by using environmental protection techniques and materials. 是的。就连火炬和燃料都采用环保技术与材料制成。 B: Even so, there was still much pity left. The Green and Peace Organization called it at most a half green. 即使如此，还留下了不少遗憾。绿色和平组织，称其最多是半绿色。 A: That's been quite good. It's the beginning after all. I'm sure that it will be better and better. 已经很不错了，毕竟是刚刚开始嘛。我相信以后会越来越好。 |
