Lesson 37 The Olympic Games奥林匹克运动会 When was the last time this country hosted the Olympic Games? The Olympic Games will be held in our country in four years time. As a great many people will be visiting the country, the government will be building new hotels, an immense stadium, and a new Olympic-standard swimming pool. They will also be building new roads and a special railway line. The Games will be held just outside the capital and the whole area will be called Olympic City. Workers will have completed the new roads by the end of this year. By the end of next year, they will have finished work on the new stadium. The fantastic modern buildings have been designed by Kurt Gunter. Everybody will be watching anxiously as the new buildings go up. We are all very excited and are looking forward to the Olympic Games because they have never been held before in this country. 参考译文 4年以后，奥林匹克运动会将在我们国家举行。由于将有大批的人到我们国家来，所以政府准备建造一些新的饭店、一个大型体育场和一个新的奥运会标准游泳池。他们还将修筑一些新的道路和一条铁路专线。奥运会就在首都市郊举办，整个地区将被称作“奥林匹克城”。工人们将在今年年底前把新路铺好；到明年年底，他们将把新体育场建成。这些巨大的现代化建筑是由库尔特.冈特设计的。大家都将急切地注视着新建筑的建成。我们都非常激动，盼望着奥运会的到来，因为在这个国家里还从未举办过奥运会。 【New words and expressions】（9） 1 Olympic[?limpik] a.奥林匹克的 2 hold[h?uld] v.召开 3 government[g?v?nm?nt] n.政府 4 immense[imens] a.巨大的 5stadium[steidi?m] n.露天体育场 6 standard[st?nd?d] n.标准 7 capital [k?pitl] n.首都 8 fantastic[f?nt?stik] a.巨大的 9 design [dizain] v.设计 一．单词讲解 Olympic adj．奥林匹克竞赛的 the Olympic fire奧林匹克圣火 the Olympic Games/the Olympics奧林匹克运动会 hold-held-held 1) conduct举行，进行 A meeting was held here yesterday． 昨天一个会议被召开了。 2)observe，celebrate庆祝，过（节日，生日，周年） 例: Do you hold Christmas in your country?你们国家庆祝圣诞节吗？ 3)take and keep/grab/seize/catch抓住，握住 hold my hand抓住我的手 take hold of...．catch hold of... get hold of... 抓住... 例: l threw the rope and he caught hold of it.我扔出了绳了，他抓住了它。 4) contain容纳 have enough space for sb/sth 例: My brain cannot hold so much information at one time． 5)坚持 例：Hold on! 坚持住！ Stick to it! 坚持住！ Never say die！ 永不言败！ Never give up! 永不放弃！ Never lose
