原文

The Olympic Games will be held in our country in four years time. As a great many people will be visiting the country, the government will be building new hotels, an immense stadium, and a new Olympic standard swimming pool. They will also be building new roads and a special railway line. The Games will be held just outside the capital and the whole area will be called Olympic City.

Workers will have completed the new roads by the end of this year. By the end of next year they will have finished work on the new stadium. The fantastic modern buildings have been designed by Kurt Gunther. Everybody will be watching anxiously as the new buildings go up.

We are all very excited and are looking forward to the Olympic Games because they have never been held before in this country.

四年后,奥运会将在我国举行。由于大量游客将前往该国旅游,政府将建造新的酒店、一座巨大的体育场和一座新的奥林匹克标准游泳池。他们还将修建新的道路和一条铁路专用线。奥运会将在首都郊外举行,整个地区将被称为奥林匹克城。

工人们将于今年年底完成新道路的建设。到明年年底,他们将完成新体育场的建设。奇妙的现代建筑由库尔特·冈瑟 (Kurt Gunther) 设计。随着新建筑的拔地而起,每个人都会焦急地注视着。

我们都非常兴奋并期待奥运会,因为以前从未在这个国家举办过奥运会。
