How do you understand Coubertin’s words at the end of the website article
“With the Olympic Games, each generation celebrates its advent, its joy of living, its faith in the future, its ambition and its will to ascend.”
每一代人都在庆祝奥运会的到来,庆祝他们生活的喜悦,庆祝他们对未来的信念,庆祝他们的雄心壮志和进取的决心。
——顾拜旦
Sport teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose—it teaches you about life.
———— Billie Jean King
(运动教你坚强品格,它教你遵守规则,它教你感悟输赢——它教你生活的真谛)
