Are You Ready for Ninth Sports Festival

Translated by Li Zongming

成外附小一年一度的体育节即将拉开帷幕，各中队已积极准备，整装待发。体育组利用平时的课间操、体活课时间，组织全校学生队列训练。大家在体育老师严格有方的指导下，动作更加标准，步伐更加整齐，口号更加响亮。

The curtain will be opened for the annual sports festival of the school while all the Section Committees of the Young Pioneers’
League have already prepared actively and have been ready to start.  The PE Group has been training all the students using the
usual time for setting-up exercises during the break and for the physical activity classes.  Under the strict but appropriate guid-
ance of the PE teachers, the movements of the students have become more standard, with their steps being more regular while
their slogans being more resonant.

瞧！每一个同学都是那么投入。
Look! Every pupil is so attentive.

体育老师利用体育活动课时间，对同学们单项比赛进行了预赛。
Making use of the physical activity classes, the PE teachers have been
holding preliminary contests for the individual events of the students.

如飞燕般腾空而起
Rising high into the air like a flying swallow

我会努力的跳得更好，为班上争光。
I’ll strive to jump for a longer time and win glory for the class.

瞧，小教练训练同学还有板有眼呢！
Look! The little coach is very methodical at training the classmates.

我已使出了吃奶的力气，怎么就不理想呢？
I almost burst a blood vessel.  But why was the result unsatisfactory?

如果增加一个滚铁环的比赛项目该多好呀！
If only hoop-rolling was accepted!

凌空飞跃，一跃而过。真棒！
Really great to fly up high and leap over at a bound!

你追我赶，不甘落后。
Overtaking each other and unwilling to lag behind

场外同学的比赛也异常激烈。
The students’ competition outside the field is also extremely intense.

裁判老师们敬业的工作态度也让我们十分感动。
The strong sense of responsibility of the teacher referees’ also greatly touches us.

相信在师生的共同努力下成外附小第九届体育节一定能取得圆满成功。
We believe, with the joint efforts of the teachers and students,
the Ninth Sports Festival of the school must be a great success.
