《奥林匹克》英文读后感
The Olympic Games, which originated in ancient Greece, is the most
distinguished sporting event in the world. Once every four years, the utmost
athletes from all around are lured to gather together and spare no efforts to
compete against each other and try to win a medal for the country that they
represent. Frankly speaking, that was virtually all I knew about the world-
famous Olympic Games before I had read a book entitled The Olympics published
by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press. However, I found even more
philosophy beyond just winning medals from reading the book, which was beyond
my imagination and considerably inspiring.
Someone once said, “Were everybody on earth involved in some kind of
sport, our world would be free of war for long.” Starting from three thousand
years ago, the ancient Olympic Games has long been an event not only for
competition but also for peace. In ancient times, no war was allowed between
the cities during the Games, which was rather surprising to me since I could
hardly imagine warriors actally putting down their weapons and give a break
for peace. The precious tradition of peace continued: I would never fail to
recall the scene of the opening ceremonies when North and South Korean
athletes entering the stadium with their hands held together. The two
neighboring countries that used to be enemies are no longer enemies during the
Games. Instead they became friends. Speaking of the Athens Olympics, perhaps
most people would have the same opinion that the most noable part of the
opening ceremony arrived when Iraqi and Afghan representatives showed up.
These two unfortunate nations, the people of which have undergone innumerable
wars, are coming back again to take their own responsibility in world sports
after recent invasions by America. The fearless people of Iraq and Afghanistan
are once more sharing the spirit of the Games with people from the rest of the
world.
There is another story in this book that makes me deep in thoughts. There
is no doubt that the most unusual Olympic Games ever in history is the 1936
Olympics held in Germany, which was then ruled by the Nazi Party. Led by Adolf
Hitler, the Nazi believed that the so-called Aryan people were superior to all
others in all aspects. They looked down upon Jews and blacks, the latter of
which was a major constitution of the United States Olympic team. Despite the
barrier that faced him, the African American Jesse Owens, who was a most
outstanding runner and jumper, did all that he could and finally won gold
medals for his country and went home a hero. This reveals another fact that no
power on earth is able to hinder the sacred Olympic Games. For all
participants, no matter what their gender, race, nationalities and backgrounds
are, equality is distributed among every one who observes the Game’s rules.
At the Athens Olympics, our Chinese team did extraordinarily well. We
ranked second on the medal lists for the first time in history. In my opinion,
however, we should not only concentrate on the figure of medals; instead the
strength and perseverance of those who failed to get any medals ought to be
highly cherished. Whether ever success or failure, whether ever cheer or tear,
whether ever medal or not, the never-gave-up spirits of athletes are always
motivating us. I believe in the year 2008, the world will focus all their
attention to Beijing, China, where the glory of the Games will continue to
thrive forever!
