最早 的 奥运会 差不多 三千 年 前 在 希腊 举行。The first Olympic Games were held in Greece almost three thousand years ago.

每 四 年, 很多 城市 的 男人 都 去 比赛。Every four years men from many cities went to compete.

比赛 的 时候, 城市 之间 的 战争 必须 停止。During the Games, wars between the cities had to stop.

开始 的 时候, 只有 一 个 跑步 比赛, 大约 两百 米。At first there was only one running race, about two hundred meters.

第一名 没有 钱, 只有 一 个 树叶 做 的 花环。The winner got no money, only a wreath made of leaves.

但是 他们 回到 家 以后 就 成 了 英雄。But when they got home they became heroes.

后来 奥运会 停 了, 1896 年 才 又 开始。Later the Games stopped, and only began again in 1896.
