體育頌

皮埃爾·德·顧拜旦

啊，體育，天神的歡娛，生命的動力！你猝然降臨在灰蒙蒙的林間空地，受

難者，激動不已，你像是容光煥發的使者，向暮年人微笑致意。你像高山之巔出

現的晨曦，照亮了昏暗的大地。

啊，體育，你就是美麗！你塑造的人體變得高尚還是卑鄙，要看它是被可恥

的欲望引向墮落； 還是由健康的力量悉心培育。沒有勻稱協調，便談不上什么

美麗。你的作用無與倫比，可使二者和諧統一；可使人體運動富有節律； 使動

作變得優美，柔中含有剛毅。

啊，體育，你就是正義！你體現了社會生活中追求不到的公平合理。任何人

不可超過速度一分一秒，逾越高度一分一厘，取得成功的關鍵，只能是體力與精

神融為一體。

啊，體育，你就是勇氣！肌肉用力的全部含義是勇于搏擊。若不為此，敏捷、

強健有何用? 肌肉發達有何益? 我們所說的勇氣，不是冒險家押上全部賭注似的

蠻干，而是經過慎重的深思熟慮。

啊，體育，你就是榮譽！榮譽的贏得要公正無私，反之便毫無意義。有人耍

弄見不得人的詭計，以此達到欺騙同伴的目的。但他內心深處受著恥辱的絞縊。

有朝一日被人識破，就會落得名聲掃地。

啊，體育，你就是樂趣！想起你，內心充滿歡喜，血液循環加劇，思路更加

開闊，條理更加清晰。你可使憂傷的人散心解悶，你可使快樂的人生活更加甜蜜。

啊，體育，你就是培育人類的沃地！你通過最直接的途徑，增強民族體質，

矯正畸形軀體，防病患于未然，使運動員得到啟迪；讓后代長得茁壯有力，繼往

開來，奪取桂冠的榮譽。

啊，體育，你就是進步！為了人類的日新月異，身體和精神的改變要同時抓

起， 你規定良好的生活習慣，要求人們對過度行為引起警惕。你告訴人們遵守

規則，發揮人類最大的能力而又無損健康的肌體。

啊，體育，你就是和平！你在各民族間建立愉快的聯系。你在有節制、有組

織、有技藝的體力較量中產生，使全世界的青年學會相互尊重和學習，使不同民

族特質成為高尚而公平競賽的動力！

ODE TO SPORT *

I.

O Sport,pleasure of the Gods,esnce of life,you appeared suddenly in the midst

of the grey clearing which writhes with the drudgery of modern existence,like the

radiant mesnger of a past age,when mankind still smiled. And the glimmer of dawn

lit up the mountain tops and flecks of light dotted the ground in the gloomy forests.

II.

O Sport,you are Beauty! You are the architect of that edifice which is the human

body and which can become abject or sublime according to whether it is defiled by

vile passions or improved through healthy exertion. There can be no beauty without

balance and proportion,and you are the peerless master of both,for you create

harmony,you give movements rhythm,you make strength graceful and you endow

suppleness with power.

Ill.

O Sport,you are Justice! The perfect equity for which men strive in vain in their

social institutions is your constant companion. No one can jump a centimetre higher

than the height he can jump,nor run a minute longer than the length he can run. The

limits of his success are determined solely by his own physical and moral strength.

IV.

O Sport,you are Audacity! The meaning of all muscular effort can be summed up

in the word ‘dare’. What good are muscles,what is the point of feeling strong and

agile,and why work to improve one’s agility and strength,unless it is in order to dare?

But the daring you inspire has nothing in common with the adventurer’s recklessness

in staking everything on chance. Yours is a prudent,well-considered audacity.

V.

O Sport,you are Honour!The laurels you bestow have no value unless they have

been won in absolute fairness and with perfect impartiality. He who,with some

shameful trick,manages to deceive his fellow competitors feels guilt to his very core
