北京奧運如火如荼的開打, 除了振奮人心的各項運動賽事之外, 奧運所帶給人的, 想要表達的精神大概也鮮少大眾會特別去注意。
這一期的Reader's Digest當然不免俗的一定要以奧運相關文章為cover, 有幾篇內容也著墨於奧運
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The true Olympic Spirit" 真正的奧運精神
What is a true Olympic Spirit? Though all the athletes take an oath on obeying the Olympic Sportsmanship, there are still some of "robber barons" and "drug cheats" playing the game with win-at-any-cost tactic.
The article mentioned a competitor who joined the ski race for the Olympic in 2006. She left ski pole snapped when she was leading her team in ski race. She tried to pushed herself on, but it was hopeless. Several competitors passed her with unconcern.
However, something happened! A man gave her a big hand for her backing in the race. She won a silver medal at last.
Who was the man? Who was her benefactor? Bjoernar Haakensmoen. The media appreciated his behavior on newspaper headline. He couldn't understand this. He said: "If you win but don't help somebody when you should have, what win is that?"

如果該伸出手幫忙時沒有幫忙而贏得獎牌,這又有什麼意義?
這樣的情操, 別說表現在運動賽事當中, 就算是平日現實當中, 這樣的精神都是難能可貴!
2008年北京奧運開打了! 台灣最期待的還是中華棒球隊能不能打進最激烈的冠軍戰, 雖然最近老有媒體在有意無意的部看好中華隊! 縱使中華棒球隊在奧運上的成績並不是令人驚艷, 不過棒球賽事終究是最表現的出臺灣人團結的"愛台灣"心辣!
不過這一次又多了一項令人期待的跆拳道奪金之爭,希望台灣選手都能夠盡力表現自己最好的, 不管成績如何, 對我們來說都是榮耀!
最後還是要恭喜台灣舉重48公斤級陳葦綾拿下銅牌歐!Hurray!!!!
還有期待網球部份, 台灣也能拿下好成績!
