IN SEARCH OF THE AMBER ROOM

Frederick William Ⅰ ， the King of Prussia , could never have

imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such

an amazing history . This gift was the Amber Room , which was given

this name because several tons of amber were used to make it . The

amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like

honey . The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those

days . It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels , which took

the country's best artists about ten years to make .

In fact , the room was not made to be a gift . It was designed for

the palace of Frederick Ⅰ. However, the next King of Prussia , Frederick

William Ⅰ,to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it.

In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return , the Czar sent him a

troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room because part of the

Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg.About four metres long, the room

served as a small reception hall for important visitors .

Later,Catherine Ⅱ had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside

St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add

more details to it .In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted

. Almost six hundred candles lit the room ,and its mirrors and pictures

shone like gold. Sadly , although the Amber Room was considered one

of the wonders of the world , it is now missing .

In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg . This was

a time when the two countries were at war . Before the Nazis could get

to the summer palace , the Russians were able to remove some

furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room . However , some

of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself . In less than two days 100,000

pieces were put inside twenty-seven woooden boxs .

There is no doubt that the boxs were then put on a train for

Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea .

After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery .

Recently , the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room

at the summer palace . By studying old photos of the former Amber

Room , they have made the new one look like the old one .In 2003 it

was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the

300th birthday of their city .

普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世绝不可能想到他送给俄罗斯人民的厚礼会有一

段令人惊讶的历史。

这件礼物就是琥珀屋,它之所以有这个名字,是因为造这间房子用了近几吨琥珀,

被选择的琥珀色彩艳丽,呈黄褐色,像蜜一样。屋子的设计当时流行的极富艺术表

现力的建筑风格。琥珀屋这件珍品还镶嵌著黄金和珠宝,全国最优秀的艺术家用

了是年的时间才完成它。

事实上,琥珀屋并不是作为礼物而建造的。它是作为腓烈特一世的宫殿而建

造的。然而,下一位普鲁士国王,腓烈特·威廉一世,这个琥珀屋的主人却决定不再要

它了。1716 年,他把它送给了彼得大帝。作为回馈,沙皇则送给他一队自己最好的

士兵。所以,琥珀屋就成了沙皇在圣彼得堡东宫的一部分。琥珀屋长约 4 米,被用

作接待重要来宾的小型会客室。

后来、叶卡捷琳娜二世派人把琥珀屋搬到了圣彼得堡郊外避暑的宫殿中。她

让艺术家们给它增添了更多的装饰。1770 年,这间琥珀屋按她要求的方式完工了

将近 600 支蜡烛照亮了这个房间,里面的镜子和图画就像金子一样闪闪发光。不

幸的是,虽然琥珀屋被认为是世界奇迹之一,可是现在它却下落不明。

1941 年 9 月,纳粹德国的军队逼近了圣彼得堡。这是两国交战的时期。在纳

粹分子能够到达夏宫之前,俄国人只来得及把琥珀屋里的一些家具和小型艺术饰

品搬走。可是琥珀屋本身却被一些纳粹分子秘密地头运走了。在不到两天的时间

里,琥珀屋被拆成 10 万块装进了 27 个木箱里。毫无疑问,这些箱子后来被装上火

车运往哥尼斯堡,当时它是波罗的海的海边的一个城市。

从那以后,琥珀屋的最终归宿就成了一个谜。最近俄国人和德国人已经在夏宫建

立起了一个新的琥珀屋,通过研究前琥珀屋的照片,他们使得新的琥珀屋的样子与

原来的非常相像。2003 年,在圣彼得堡人民庆祝他们的城市建立300 周年的时候

它已经完工了。

Reading and listening

A FACT OR AN OPINION? 一个事实还是一个观点

What is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact is

anything that can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China

has more people than any other country in the world. This is a fact.

Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believes is

true but has not been proved. So an opinion is not good evidence in a

trial. For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than

dogs”. It may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not

agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right.

In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewitnesses to believe and

which not to believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness

looks like or where that person lives or works. He/she only cares about

whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts

rather than opinions. This kind of information is called evidence.

什么是事实？是一些人们相信的东西吗？不！事实是可以被证明的任何事。

例如，可以证明中国人口比世界上任何其他国家的人口都要多。这是一个事实。

那么什么是一个观点？一个观点是人们相信那是真的但还没有被证明的。所

以一个观点在一个审判中不是一个好的证据。例如，如果你说“猫是比狗好的宠

物”这会是一个观点。这可能是真的，不过很难去证明。一些人可能不同意这个

观点不过他们也不能去证明他们是对的。

在一场审批中，一个审判官一定要去决定相信哪个目击者哪个目击者不应

该相信。这个审判官不会去考虑每个目击者的长相或人们在哪里居住或工作。他/

她只关心目击者是否会提供真是的信息，信息一定是事实而不是观点。这类的信

息被称为证据。

Unit 2 第二单元奥林匹克运动会 AN INTERVIEW

Pausanias, who was a Greek writer about 2,000 years ago, has come

on a magical journey on March 18th 2007 to find out about the

present-day Olympic Games. He is now interviewing Li Yan, a volunteer

for the 2008 Olympic Games.

P: My name is Pausanias. I lived in what you call “Ancient Greece”

and I used to write about the Olympic Games a long time ago. I’ve

come to your time to find out about the present-day Olympic Games

because I know that in 2004 they were held in my homeland. May I ask

you some questions about the modern Olympics?

L: Good heavens! Have you really come from so long ago? But of

course you can ask any questions you like. What would you like to

know?

P: How often do you hold your Games?

L: Every four years. There are two main sets of Games-the Winter

and Summer Olympics, and both are held every four years on a regular

basis. The Winter Olympics are usually held two years before the

Summer Games. Only athletes who have reached the agreed standard

for their event will be admitted as competitors. They may come from

anywhere in the world.

P: Winter Games? How can the runners enjoy competing in winter?

And what about the horses?

L: Oh no! There are no running races or horse riding events. Instead

there are competitions like skiing and ice skating which need snow and

ice. That’s why they’re called the Winter Olympics. It’s in the

Summer Olympics that you have the running races, together with

swimming, sailing and all the team sports.

P: I see. Earlier you said that athletes are invited from all over the

world. Do you mean the Greek world? Our Greek cities used to compete

against each other just for the honour of winning. No other countries

could join in, nor could slaves or women!

L: Nowadays any country can take part if their athletes are good

enough. There are over 250 sports and each on has its own standard.

Women are not only allowed, but play a very important role in

gymnastics, athletics, team sports and …

P: Please wait a minute! All those events, all those countries and

even women taking part! Where are all the athletes housed?

L: For each Olympics, a special village is built for them to live in, a

main reception building, several stadiums for competitions, and a

gymnasium as well.

P: That sounds very expensive. Does anyone want to host the

Olympic Games?

L: As a matter of fact, every country wants the opportunity. It’s a

great responsibility but also a great honour to be chosen. There’s as

much competition among countries to host the Olympics as to win

Olympic medals. The 2008 Olympics will be held in Beijing, China. Did

you know that?

P: Oh yes! You must be very proud.

L: Certainly. And after that the 2012 Olympics will be held in

London. They have already started planning for it. A new village for the

athletes and all the stadiums will be built to the east of London. New

medals will be designed of course and …

P: Did you say medals? So even the olive wreath has been replaced!

Oh dear! Do you compete for prize money too?

L: No, we don’t. it’s still all about being able to run faster, jump

higher and throw further. That’s the motto of the Olympics, you

know-“Swifter, Higher and Stronger.”

P: Well, that’s good news. How interesting! Thank you so much for

your time.

大约 2000 年前的一个希腊作者帕萨尼亚斯(P)，在 2007 年 3 月18 日踏上

了一段魔幻的旅程去查明关于现代的奥林匹克运动会。他正在采访一个 2008年

奥林匹克运动会志愿者李岩(L)。

P:我是帕萨尼亚斯。我住在你们所说的“古希腊”而且在很久之前我常常写

以一些关于奥林匹克运动会的事情。我来到你的时代是为了解关于现代奥林匹克

运动会因为我知道 2004 年奥林匹克运动会会在我家乡举办。我可以问你一些关

于现代奥林匹克运动会的问题么？L:真是极为愉快的事!你真的来自那么久远的

时代么？不过当然你可以问你想问的问题。你想知道什么？

P:你们多久会举办一次运动会？L:四年一次。有两种主要的运动会形式--冬

季和夏季奥运会，并且在一个有规律的基础上他们都是四年举办一次的。冬季奥

运会一般会在夏季奥运会前两年举办。只有达到该项目既定的标准的运动员才会

被容许成为竞争者。他们可以来自世界各地。

P:冬季奥运会？田径运动员如何在冬季享受比赛？还有马术又怎样？L:哦不!

冬季奥运会没有赛跑和骑马的项目。反而会有一些像滑雪和溜冰这些需要雪和冰

的项目。这就是为什么他成为冬季奥运会。只有在夏季奥运会会有你说赛跑，同

时还有游泳，帆船运动和所有团队运动。

P:我懂了。之前你说那些运动员都被邀请来自世界各地。你了解希腊世界么

我们希腊城过去互相竞赛只为胜利的荣誉。没有其他的地区可以参加，奴隶和妇

女也不可以。L:现在只要他们的运动员够好的话任何国家都可以参加。有超过

250种项目并且每一种都有它自己的标准。妇女不仅允许参加比赛，并且她们在

体操比赛，竞技比赛，团队比赛和其他各种比赛中都扮演着重要的角色。

P:麻烦稍等一下！所有的这些项目，所有的国民甚至妇女都可以参加！那

么这些运动员们居住在哪里？L:在每一场奥运会前，一座特别的村庄会被建来

给他们居住，还有一座主要的接待建筑，几个用来比赛的体育场和一座体育馆

等

P:那听起来很贵。有哪个国家会想要举办奥运会么？L:事实上，每个国家都

想要这个机会。这是一个很大的责任同样是一个很大的荣誉如果被挑选到。在国

家之间有很多竞争去为举办奥运会就像去赢得奥林匹克奖牌一样。2008年的奥

运会将会在北京举行。这你知道么？P:哦是的！你一定非常自豪。L:当然。之后的

2012 年奥运会将在伦敦举行。他们早就开始为这个做准备了。一座让运动员居

住的村庄和所有的运动场将会被建在东伦敦。当然新的奖牌会被设计......

P:你是说奖牌么？所以甚至是橄榄花圈也已经被取代了！哦亲爱的！你们

比赛也为了奖金么？L:不我们不。现在仍然想要跑得更快跳的更高扔得更远。正

如你知道的奥运会的格言-“更快更高更强”。P:好吧，那是个好消息。多么有趣

啊！耽搁你的时间，谢谢了。

THE STORY OF ATLANTA 亚特兰大的故事

Atlanta was a Greek princess. She was very beautiful and could run

faster than any man in Greece. But she was not allowed to run and win

glory for herself in the Olympic Games. She was so angry that she said

to her father that she would not marry anyone who could not run faster

than her. Her father said that she must marry, so Atlanta made a

bargain with him. She said to him,"These are my rules. When a man says

he wants to marry me, I will run against him. If he cannot run as fast as

me, he will be killed. No one will be pardoned."

Many kings and princes wanted to marry Atlanta, but when they

heard of rules they knew it was hopeless. So many of them sadly went

home, but others stayed to run the race. There was a man called

Hippomenes who was amazed when he heard of Atlanta's rules,"Why

are these men so foolish?" he thought. "Why will they let themselves be

killed because they cannot run as fast as this princess?" However, when

she saw Atlanta come out of her house to run, Hippomenes changed his

mind."I will marry Atlanta--or die!" he said.

The race started and although the man ran very fast, Atlanta ran

faster. As Hippomenes watched he thought, "How can I run as fast as

Atlanta?" He went to ask the Greek Godness of Love for help. She

promised to help him and gave him three golden apples. She said,"

Throw an apple in front of Atlanta when she is running past. When she

stops to pick it up, you will be able to run past her and win."

Hippomenes took the apples and went to the King. He said," I want

to marry Atlanta ." The King was sad to see another man die, but

Hippomenes said," I will marry her------or die!" So the race began.

亚特兰大是一个希腊公主。她很漂亮并且可以跑得比希腊的任何一个男人都

快。不过她不被允许在奥运会上跑步去为她自己赢得荣誉。她很生气因此她跟她

父亲说她不会嫁任何跑不过她的男人。她父亲说她必须要嫁，所以亚特兰大与她

父亲定下一个条件。她对她父亲说，“这是我的原则。如果有男人说想要嫁我，

我会跟她赛跑。如果他跑不赢我，他会被杀。没有人能被例外。”

很多国王和王子想要娶亚特兰大，不过当他们听到这个规定的时候他们就

知道自己没希望了。所以他们当中的很多人都伤心地回家了，不过其他的人都留

着去赛跑。一个叫做希波墨涅斯的男人听到亚特兰大的消息后感到非常惊奇，他

想“为什么这些男的都这么愚蠢呢？”“为什么他们会因为跑不过这个公主而

让自己被杀呢？”然而，当他看到亚特兰大从她的房子出来跑步的时候，希波

墨涅斯改变了他的心意。他说，“我会娶亚特兰大或者死！”
