经典的英文朗诵稿

推荐你《体育颂》！是现代奥林匹克运动会的创始人——顾拜旦于1912年第5届奥运会在瑞典斯德歌尔摩举行时，用笔名发表的一篇优美动听的散文诗。该作品获得了首次举办的奥林匹克文学艺术比赛金质奖。这篇作品在当时产生了巨大的轰动效应。《体育颂》经历了多年，其间一直为人们所喜闻乐见，争先传诵，具有永久的魅力。《体育颂》体现了时代特点和重大社会意义的奥林匹克理想，闪耀着顾拜旦体育思想的灿烂光辉，具有很高的审美价值和强大的美学力量。顾拜旦在这篇传世的散文诗中充满激情地讴歌体育和奥林匹克运动，高度评价了奥林匹克运动在现代社会文明中的作用和地位，同时也讽刺和批判了奥林匹克运动中的种种弊端，其主导思想是“体育就是和平”，这也是他以“奥林匹克理想”为题的《文选》中多次阐释的奥林匹克主义，且被《奥林匹克宪章》所强调。顾拜旦用一个法国名字和一个德国名字署名发表这首散文诗，是用心良苦的。首先是基于他所倡导的“费厄泼赖”的公平竞争原则，为使评委能公平评判而用了笔名；其次，根据国际奥林匹克委员会委员、匈牙利人梅佐博士的解释，顾拜旦先生是想告诉人们:即使像法国、德国这样有着世仇的国家，也能在奥林匹克运动的大家庭中，增进互相了解而友好相处。英文原文：ODE TO SPORT *I.O Sport, pleasure of the Gods, essence of life, you appeared suddenly in the midst of the grey clearing which writhes with the drudgery of modern existence, like the radiant messenger of a past age, when mankind still smiled. And the glimmer of dawn lit up the mountain tops and flecks of light dotted the ground in the gloomy forests.II.O Sport, you are Beauty! You are the architect of that edifice which is the human body and which can become abject or sublime according to whether it is defiled by vile passions or improved through healthy exertion. There can be no beauty without balance and proportion, and you are the peerless master of both, for you create harmony, you give movements rhythm, you make strength graceful and you endow suppleness with power.Ill.O Sport, you are Justice! The perfect equity for which men strive in vain in their social institutions is your constant companion. No one can jump a centimetre higher than the height he can jump, nor run a minute longer than the length he can run. The limits of his success are determined solely by his own physical and moral strength.IV.O Sport, you are Audacity! The meaning of all muscular effort can be summed up in the word ‘dare’. What good are muscles, what is the point of feeling strong and agile, and why work to improve one’s agility and strength, unless it is in order to dare? But the daring you inspire has nothing in common with the adventurer’s recklessness in staking everything on chance. Yours is a prudent, well-considered audacity.V.O Sport, you are Honour!The laurels you bestow have no value unless they have been won in absolute fairness and with perfect impartiality. He who, with some shameful trick, manages to deceive his fellow competitors feels guilt to his very core and lives in fear of the ignominious epithet which shall forever be attached to his name should his trickery be discovered.VI.O Sport, you are Joy! At your behest, flesh dances and eyes smile; blood races abundantly through the arteries. Thoughts stretch out on a brighter, clearer horizon. To the sorrowful you can even bring salutary diversion from their distress, whilst the happy you enable fully to savour their joie de vivre.VII.O Sport, you are Fecundity! You strive directly and nobly towards perfection of the race, destroying unhealthy seed and correcting the flaws which threaten its essential purity. And you fill the athlete with a desire to see his sons grow up agile and strong around him to take his place in the arena and, in their turn, carry off the most glorious trophies.VIII.O Sport, you are Progress! To serve you, a man must improve himself both physically and spiritually. You force him to abide by a greater discipline; you demand that he avoid all excess. You teach him wise rules which allow him to exert himself with the maximum of intensity without compromising his good health.IX.O Sport, you are Peace! You promote happy relations between peoples, bringing them together in their shared devotion to a strength which is controlled, organized and self-disciplined. From you, the young worldwide learn self-respect, and thus the diversity of national qualities becomes the source of a generous and friendly rivalry.*Awarded a prize in the sports literature competition in the V Olympiad Stockholm 1912.** Pierre de Coubertin pseudonym.配乐的话，不要用运动员进行曲，太吵可以用出埃及记，或者其他比较大气的音乐，如果愿意用这篇文章可以百度HI我
