奥运知识—奥林匹克精神之古代篇:团结的盛会

（单词翻译:单击）

The Games organised at Olympia led to the development of the Panhellenic Games, which also included:

- The Games at Delphi (Pythian Games)
- The Games at Corinth (Isthmian Games)
- The Games at Nemea (Nemean Games)

These Games were special because they brought the Greek¹ world together at a time when Greece was not single state, but a series² of city-states (politically and economically independent communities). From Greece and the colonies³ (in Italy, North Africa and Asia Minor), people travelled to take part in or attend these Games, inspired by the shared feeling of belonging to the same culture or religion.

文章大意

　　在奥林匹亚召开的古代奥运会直接促成了泛希腊运动会的形成、发展，它还包括在德尔菲、科林斯和尼米举办的奥运会。它的特别之处是，在一定时期将全希腊的人带到一起，因为当时希腊还不是一个统一的国家，只是一些城邦（政治和经济独立的实体）。由文化或宗教的共同归属感所激励，人们从希腊本土或希腊殖民地（在意大利，北非和小亚细亚）赶来参加这个盛会。
