Dialogue

J=Jeff　A=Annie　G=Gao

J: Annie, do you know what is the Olympic Spirit?

J: Annie, 你知道什么是奥林匹克精神吗？

A: Is it mutual¹ understanding, friendship, unity² and fair play?

A: 是不是相互了解、友谊、团结和公平竞争？

J: Yes, it is. Gao Jie, when did China's professional athletes come into being?

J: 是的，就是那个。高洁，中国职业运动员的产生是什么时候开始的？

G: At the present, there has not been a wording for professional athletes in China. This is because the Chinese modern athletic³ sports started rather late and the sports clubs are far from mature as the European and American countries.

G: 从目前来看，中国尚未有职业运动员的说法。因为，中国的竞技体育运动起步较晚，体育俱乐部也远没有欧美国家那样成熟。

A: The professional athlete are those who must observe the required rigorous treaty when they sign the contract and serve for the clubs, besides taking a generous sum of annual salary. In fact, although such sports management is beneficial to the promotion⁴ of the athletic sports level, its drawback is obvious, too. The outstanding athletes have to bear the annoyance⁵ that they are bought without any freedom by the employer.

A: 欧美国家的职业运动员在俱乐部里签约服役，除了拿丰厚的年薪外，还得遵守苛刻的限定条约。实际上，这样的体育经营虽然有利于促进竞技体育水平的提高，但是其弊端也是十分明显的。优秀的运动员不得不忍受老板一次性买断自由的烦恼。

G: Some boxing events and free combat events, which blindly seek economic profit, have already deviated⁶ from the sports to a large extent. They seriouly violate the Olympic Spirit.

G: 有些一味追求经济效应的拳击项目，自由搏击项目等，很大程度上已经偏离了体育精神。他们严重违背了奥林匹克精神。

J: Perhaps the deficiency existing in athletic sports can be entirely⁷ supplemented from non-athletic events.

J: 也许竞技体育存在的不足，完全可以从非竞技项目中得到补充。

A: Not certain. The negative effects brought by athletic sports is impossibe to get rid of entirely. Look, you! Stimulant⁸, bribery⁹ and miscarriage¹⁰ of justice always puzzle the Olympic Spirit all the time.

A: 不一定。竞技体育带来的消极影响不可能彻底摆脱的。你们看！兴奋剂、受贿、误判等，始终困挠着奥林匹克精神。

G: Don't worry. The Sydney Olympics is a watershed¹¹. Since its beginning, anti-doping has risen from traditional battle to the battle of biologic engineering.

G: 不用担心了。悉尼奥运会是一个分水岭，从它开始，反兴奋剂已从传统战升级为生物工程战。

A: It is the way. They abused the gold medal, and made the competition unfair.

A: 就应该这样。他们诬蔑了金牌，比赛也变得不公平了。

G: Therefore, someone compares those stimulants¹² as a "cancer", are "underworld" and "the hacker¹³ of the sports community".

G: 因此，有人把兴奋剂比喻为“毒瘤”，是“黑社会”，是“体坛黑客”。

A: It can't be more visualized¹⁴! I hope it can give back pure Olympics to human beings.

A: 再形象不过了!我希望能还给人类纯洁的奥运会
