课文原文
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 fine new 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 fine 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.
四年后,奥林匹克运动会将在我们国家举行。由于将有大量的人来参观我们国家,政府将建造新的旅馆、一个巨大的体育场和一个漂亮的新游泳池。他们还将修建新的道路和一条专门的铁路线。奥运会将在首都郊外举行,整个地区将被称为”奥运城”。工人们将在今年年底前完成新道路的建设。到明年年底,他们将完成新体育场的建设。这些漂亮的现代化建筑是由库尔特·冈特设计的。当新建筑拔地而起时,每个人都将焦急地关注着。我们都很兴奋,并期待着奥林匹克运动会,因为这个国家以前从未举办过奥运会。
