本次阅读从题材上而言,是比较新的,不象2月28号的两旧一新,其中第一篇文章还破天荒的出现了比较时事性的题材,Olymic Torch,可能是2008奥运会的影响力太大了吧!摘出下文以供烤鸭参考:
Introduction of Olymic Torch Relay
In the context of the modern Games, the Olympic flame represents the positive values that
Man has always associated with fire. The purity of the flame is guaranteed by the way it
is lit using the suns rays.
The choice of Olympia as a departure point emphasises the link between the Ancient and
Modern Games and underlines the profound connection between these two events.
Relay
The flame is carried by relay all the way to its final destination. Although it is usually carried by runners on foot, other modes of transport are also used. For air transport, the flame is sheltered in a security lamp, similar to a miners lamp. At night time, it burns in special cauldrons. All along its route, the flame heralds the upcoming Olympic Games and transmits a message of peace and friendship amongst peoples.
STADIUM
The highlight of the opening ceremony of the Olympics is the entrance of the Olympic flame into the stadium. The identity of the final torchbearer is kept secret until the last moment. It is often a personality from the sports world or a young person symbolising hope for
the future.
The final torchbearer often does a lap of the stadium before lighting the monumental cauldron with the Olympic flame. A symbolic release of doves evokes the climate of peace in which the Olympic Games should take place.
The flame remains lit for the duration of the Games and is only extinguished at the closing ceremony.
