问题     One of the great legacies will be the impact of the Games on the country’s young people. The Games inspire a new generation to believe in true values of fair play, the pursuit of excellence in what you do. to work as a team and above all in harmony—the Spirit of Friendship. //
    I have been fortunate to set records and win medals. But I realize when I stand on the blocks. the competition is really with me more than with others in the race. 1 cannot affect what my competitors will do, I can only commit myself that moment to do my best, to realize my own capabilities. In the end that is the key to having the best chance of winning. //
    But in the end that is the real human value for the sport for every athlete. The value lies in the effort and the striving even more than in the outcome. Every athlete who does that, and is true to themselves and their sport, deserves to be honored whether or not they come away from the race with a medal or a record. And so it is I think in everybody’s daily life. What more can we do in our work, our professions, our personal lives, than to just try to realize our own individual potential? //
    Being a young person who has had the privilege and fortune to achieve success I feel a great sense of responsibility to help those less fortunate. In 2000 Ian Thorpe’s Foundation for youth was established with the aim of assisting charity organizations that support the needs of children who are faced with challenges and difficulties in their lives due to illness. I believe that all children should be given the opportunity in their own lives to reach full potential. //
    I am very pleased to be helping raise money tonight for the Beijing Zhiguang Special Education and Training School which I visited yesterday and saw for myself the wonderful work they are doing. I met with the children and it reminded me again about how much we take for granted in our lives. //
    I can only hope that through the Foundation for youth and your support, together we can make a difference in the lives of many children and give them the opportunity to look forward to a bright future. So if you have not yet made a bid on our auction items tonight, or a donation at the table—I urge you to do so. //

选项
答案     奥运留下的一个伟大遗产就是对青年人产生影响。奥运精神激励年轻一代坚信公平竞争、追求完美、团结合作以及和谐相处的真正价值，这正是友谊精神的精髓所在。//
    我非常有幸能够创造记录并获得奖牌。但同时我也意识到：当我站在跳台的那一刻，真正的比赛与其说是与他人竞争，不如说是战胜自我。我无法对竞争伙伴产生影响，在那一瞬间我只是尽自己的努力要做到最好，要充分发挥自己的能力。最终这种信念往往是获胜的关键。//
    这种信念最终将成为运动员真正的人生价值。与比赛结果相比，这种价值更多地体现在运动员努力奋斗的过程中。每一位做到了这一点的运动员，无论对自己还是对体育都问心无愧。不管他们是否获得了奖牌或创造了记录，都同样值得赞扬。除此之外，我认为所有这一切还体现在每个人的日常生活中。在工作、事业和个人生活上的最高境界就是努力实现自身的潜能。//
    作为一个有幸获得了成功的年轻人，我感到自己有责任帮助那些不太幸运的人。2000年建立了伊恩?索普青少年基金会，旨在帮助慈善机构给因为疾病而面临困难和挑战的儿童提供支持。我相信所有儿童都应获得充分实现其潜能的机会。//
    我很高兴今晚有机会为北京智光特殊教育和培训学校筹集资金。昨天我参观了这所学校，亲眼看到了他们所做的了不起的工作。看到那些孩子时，又让我感到生活中我们认为理所当然的事太多了。//
    我只是希望通过青少年基金会和诸位的支持，我们一起能为改变许许多多孩子的生活做些事情，使他们拥有一个光明的未来。如果你们还没有加入到拍卖或捐款活动中来，我真诚地希望你们能够参与进来。//
