关于奥运会和体育的一些名言

武夷山 辑译

 

The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.”

Pierre de Coubertin

奥运会最重要的事情不是取胜，而是参与；人生的要紧事不是征服，而是奋战。

----顾拜旦

 

"If you don't try to win you might as well hold the Olympics in somebody's back yard."
- Jesse Owens (American Athlete, 4 time Gold Medalist in Track and Field at the 1936 Olympic Games, 1913-1980)

你若是不努力取胜，还不如在谁家后院里开奥运会得了。

----杰西. 欧文斯，美国运动员，1936年奥运会上获得4块田径金牌

 

If only Hitler and Mussolini could have a good game of bowls once a week at Geneva, I feel that Europe would not be as troubled as it is.

~R.G. Briscow

我觉得，要是希特勒和墨索里尼能每周在日内瓦好好打一场保龄球，欧洲的局面就不会如此糟糕。

----R.G. Briscow（英国政治家1893-1957）

 

We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time.

~Vince Lombardi

我们没有输球；只是来不及扳回来了。

（博主：这句话使我想起了《南征北战》台词：不是我们无能，是共军太狡猾了。）

 

With the money I'm making, I should be playing two positions.

 ~Pete Rose, 1977

既然我挣那么多钱，那我一个人打两个位置才对。

----Pete Rose（1941年生，美国著名棒球运动员和棒球队经理）

 

The more you sweat in practice, the less you bleed in battle.

Playing polo is like trying to play golf during an earthquake.

It is a noteworthy fact that kicking and beating have played so considerable a part in the habits which necessity has imposed on mankind in past ages that the only way of preventing civilized men from beating and kicking their wives is to organize games in which they can kick and beat balls.

~George Bernard Shaw

值得注意这样一桩事实：远古的时候，生存之需使人类养成了拳打脚踢的习惯，以至于防止文明社会的男人打老婆的唯一方式便是组织一些比赛，让他们冲着球拳打脚踢。

----英国大文豪萧伯纳
