12、来临,前天晚上他在外套底下塞了三张报纸,但是睡在长凳上,这些报纸依然无法抵御寒冷。索比知道该为过冬找个家了,他需要的是在监狱中蹲上3个月,这3个月有固定的食物、住处和朋友。在很多能进监狱的办法中最好的是在大饭店饱餐一顿然后告诉侍者他没钱,这样他就会被移交给警察,剩下的就是法官的事了。离开长凳后,索比溜达着走出了公园。他知道只看他的上半身,还是很整洁的;他刮了胡子,穿着干净的外套。如果他能顺利地坐到餐桌旁的话,胜利就会属于他。他坐下后露出的上半身不会引起侍者的怀疑。当索比走过饭店大门时,侍者看见了他破旧的裤子和鞋子,一双强有力的手把他推向大街。索比继续前行,他要尝试其他的方法。街角有一扇大窗户,
13、索比拣起一块石头掷向窗户。警察跑来,索比一动不动地站着,脸上挂着微笑。“谁干的?”警察问。“你就不认为是我干的?”索比回答。警察不相信索比。通常打坏玻璃的人不会站着不动跟警察谈话。这时警察看见一位男子跑着去追出租车,就去追那人。索比很纳闷警察怎么就不抓他呢。这时,索比看见有人放下丝绸伞,正在点燃雪茄,他立刻走上前拿了伞就走,这位男子很快跟上他,说:“是我的伞。”“是吗?”索比讥笑着说,“那么,你为什么不报警呢?”那位男子放慢脚步,“当然,”他说,“那是你知道,这类误会是会发生的,今天早上我在一家饭馆捡到的如果是你的,我希望你”“当然是我的。”索比说。他转过街角,把伞仍进沟里。终于,索比来到这座
14、城市的一个安静的地方。他站在一所古老的教堂前,他听到教堂里管风琴的声音,甜美的歌声吸引着他,以前他的生活中有父母和朋友的陪伴、心中充满着希望和美好的向往的时候,索比就很熟悉这首赞美诗。索比怔在那儿,音乐使他的内心突然发生了变化。他开始意识到自己荒废的生活充满了绝望和邪恶并感到厌恶。有些事情再次触动了他的内心深处,他需要自拔,重新做人,明天他就去找工作。正在这时,索比感觉有人抓住了他的肩膀,他回过头,看到的是一张警察的脸。“你在这儿干什么?”警察问。“什么也没干。”索比回答。“那么,跟我走。”“入狱3个月。”第二天早晨,在法庭上法官宣布。Text B 奥运五环和吉祥物的由来 现代奥运会是团结、友
15、爱与和平的象征。20世纪以来,奥运会还创造了一些家喻户晓的伟大标志,如火炬、金牌、五环和吉祥物等,这些标志都极富收藏性,而且每一个标志都有自己独特的故事。奥运五环 心理学家Carl Jung曾指出,环形标志代表着完整和团结。奥运创始人顾拜旦先生透彻地理解其中的深层含义。当他决定为奥运会设计一面会旗时,他想到了环环相扣的五环形,代表奥运的四海天下的精神。五环的颜色取自各国国旗,每个国家的国旗上都有至少一种奥运五环的颜色。同时五种颜色也各自代表了一个大洲,蓝色代表欧洲,黑色代表非洲,黄色代表亚洲,红色代表美洲,绿色代表大洋洲。白色的背景体现了世界人民之间的和平共处。奥运会旗第一次使用是在1920年
16、的安特卫普奥运会,之后会旗成为奥运会最具标志性的象征。它是如此的深入人心,以至于许多运动员在获得奥运参赛资格后,都将五环纹在身上。火炬和圣火 奥运的圣火体现了现代奥运会与古代奥运会之间的紧密联系。1936年柏林奥运会后,圣火传递开始成为奥运必不可少的一部分。圣火由各国参赛运动员环球传递,最后在开赛时将奥运主会场的火炬点燃。圣火的火种取自希腊奥林匹亚山的阳光,它也同时体现了和平的精神。希腊2004年奥运会火炬以橄榄叶为形,橄榄木为材,充分体现了橄榄枝带来和平的美好意义。吉祥物 从1972起,每届奥运会都会设计与主办国动物相关的吉祥物,世界上第一个奥运吉祥物是德国的Waldi猎狗,最出色的应数北京奥运的五个福娃,最糟的恐怕是亚特兰大奥运会的外星怪物Izzy,因为没有人知道他的来历。口号“更快,更高,更强”,用拉丁文说是 Citius,Altius,Fortius,是富于励志精神的奥运口号。它代表了重在参与的精神,无论成绩如何,只要努力就是胜利。奖牌 奥运比赛的前三名运动员会颁发金、银、铜牌。国际奥委会要求,奖牌的正面需要相同,主要形象是希腊的胜利女神和古赛场。每个主办国可以用奖牌背面展现本国的特色,今年北京奥运的金镶玉奖牌设计就极富传统象征意义。所有这些奥运标志的使用都传达着相似的信息,我们团结在共同的希望和梦想之中,实现世界大同的美好愿望。
