When was the last time this country hosted the Olympic Games?

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 Gunter. 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.

參考譯文

4年以后,奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)會將在我們國家舉行。由于將有大批的人到我們國家來,所以政府準(zhǔn)備建造一些新的飯店、一個(gè)大型體育場和一個(gè)新的.奧運(yùn)會標(biāo)準(zhǔn)游泳池。他們還將修筑一些新的道路和一條鐵路專線。奧運(yùn)會就在首都市郊舉辦,整個(gè)地區(qū)將被稱作“奧林匹克城”。工人們將在今年年底前把新路鋪好;到明年年底,他們將把新體育場建成。這些巨大的現(xiàn)代化建筑是由庫爾特.岡特設(shè)計(jì)的。大家都將急切地注視著新建筑的建成。我們都非常激動(dòng),盼望著奧運(yùn)會的到來,因?yàn)樵谶@個(gè)國家里還從未舉辦過奧運(yùn)會。
