Unit 6 Olympic Volunteers课文翻译大学体验英语一
Unit 6 Olympic VolunteersPassage A Be a Volunteer —Experience of a Volunteer at the Sydney OlympicsThe Sydney Olympics offered me an opportunity to learn more about staging a major multi-sport event and this knowledge, I felt, would stand me in good stead as I developed the media services that would be needed for our Salt Lake City Winter Games in 2002.I also decided that working as a volunteer would give me a greater understanding ofa whole range of issues which is why I joined the ranks of those working in the front line.But little did I suspect just how much the experience would offer me such powerful feelings and a strong sense of pride - emotions which influence the many memories that I took away with me when I left Sydney.As a woman volunteer, I am not usually keen on uniforms, but from the moment I put on my Sydney volunteer's uniform I felt I was part of something important, something big that could well be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I immediately bonded with others in the same uniform and as we passed each other in the street dressed in our colorful outfits, we smiled and said "G'day" to each other and those greetings continued throughout the two weeks of the Olympics.My job was as a supervisor in the Main Press Center where I managed 800 journalists' desks, the telephones, the banks of televisions and other volunteers, many of whom were media students. Our shifts were eight hours long and often overnight as the Center was open 24 hours, but we generally stayed longer out of choice as the work was important and exciting. Without us the journalists would not get their articles back to their home news desks and the stories of the emotional highs and lows of the competitors would never reach the outside world.As volunteers, we all felt our work was a valuable contribution to the success of the Olympics and we reveled in the compliments we received. We worked hard and we had fun. We made new contacts and friends from all over the world and we learned new skills which we will never lose.When the Olympics finished, all the volunteers - 47,000 of us - were invited to take part in a parade through the streets of Sydney. Many of us did this, and thousands and thousands of people came out to cheer our efforts. Being part of that experience brought tears to many eyes.The Olympics was marvelous, and the work I went to do is relevant and valuable to the job I do now. But the experience of being involved in such a massive event and the recognition we were given for our efforts is what I will remember forever.A篇争当志愿者——一名悉尼奥运会志愿者的经历悉尼奥运会使我有机会对承办大型体育盛会有了进一步的了解，我觉得这一知识对我十分有益，因为我所提供的媒体服务也将是我们承办的2002年盐湖城冬奥会所需要的。

So they felt comfortable asking his advice on a wide range of matters,includeing the odd behavior of their partners across the ocean.

And the secretaries in the office were eager to help this nice bachelor learn Japanese.PASSAGE 2But with E1 Nino, the pattern reverses. Atmospheric pressure in the Western Pacific rises, setting the stage for drought from Australia to India. The trade winds decrease, or in extreme years reverse to blow eastward.

Another branch surges south, producing hwavy rains in the US Gulf States and Southwest.Key to Quiz for Unit 6I. 1. 答案为C。

Most sporting events would never be possible without the support of the dedication of thousands of people.The Sydney Olympics was proof that the people of Sydney are capable of contributing to world class sporting events.V olunteering is a great way to gain work experience. When young people leave school or university they may have great academic qualifications but may lack the “work experience”which employers often require. Being a volunteer provides valuable work experience, although it’s not a paid role, it offers a variety of skills that could be of great value to any employer, e.g. working in a team, working unsociable hours, attending training, dealing with people, using initiative, etc.Organizing an event like the Olympics would not be possible without the support of volunteers in quite a number of areas, such as drink station assistents, medical support, baggage handlers, medal presenters, T-shirt distributors, timing assistants, to mention only a few here.2.Youth of 2006To coincide with the 2006 Winter Olympics in Italy, the City of Turin, the Province of Turin and Piedmont Region have jointly promoted the project which isaimed at young people aged 18 to 25 when the Olympics take place and who would like to contribute to the success of the Olympic Games by offering voluntary aid.In order to make the experience an opportunity to grow and develop, those who take part in the project will be given a wide range of training opportunities in various fields: from languages to IT, from communication to inter-culture, from history to tourism and from art to sport, etc.。

On Volunteering Activities
• In recent years, there has been a growing popularity of volunteering activities. The volunteering spirit is spreading among college students. They have been taking part in various volunteering work actively, such as rescue work in earthquakes and service work in the World Expo 2010 Shanghai. • There is no doubt that volunteering activities are of remarkable benefits to both society and the volunteers themselves. On the one hand, college students active participation in volunteering activities not only helps those in need but also calls on more people to join them, which influences the society in a positive way. On the other hand, engaged in volunteering activities, college students can also gain a lot more than they devote. In this sense, it is volunteering work that enables students to learn the importance of devoting spirit, which contributes to their all round development. • As a college student, I think volunteering activities should be greatly advocated. In the process of participating, we can develop our humanism spirit and cooperative ability, which are essential in our growth. • >>亮点词汇 ①rescuen.救援，营救 ②remarkable a.值得注意的，不寻 常的③call on号召 ④engage in参与，参加⑤devotev.为……付出时间/努力 等，专心致力于⑥all round development 全面发展⑦advocatev.主张，拥 护⑧participatev.参与，参加⑨humanismn.人道主义，人本主义 • ⑩cooperativea.(乐意)合作的

Christine French, a Great Volunteer
You can‟t really major in volunteering, but if you could your schedule might look a lot like Christine French‟s. Not only is this longtime fan of service and volunteering winning recognition for her work in the community, but also she and other students at the George Washington University are leading the charge to complete 100 000 service hours by graduation day. If they can do it, US First Lady Michelle Obama has promised to speak at the commencement. As a senior at the George Washington University, French is President of the Human Service Student Organization as well as the Teach For America chapter at her school. She also serves as Coordinator of Intervention and Cultural Services at the University‟s Office of Community Service. In recent years she has volunteered at Martha‟s Table, an organization that helps at-risk families, and My Sister‟s Place, which helps domestic violence victims.
