（221字）【参考译文】To participate and win — that is the Olympic spirit. It finds expression in the weak daring to defy the strong, and the strong striving for ever better performance. “Ever better”— the ideal is always luring a sportsman forward. He will do everything he can for it, never relax, never give up. It is said that none of the competitors can avoid being defeated — even the best is to be surpassed by someone still stronger. This is rule of sports. However, undaunted by the inevitable failure, the sportsman is always striving to do the best he can and content with the fact that he has done his bit for the “ever better” records in the Olympic Games. He will say proudly that he has not lived his youth in vain.(陈艳粉供稿）2. 中国，一个值得自豪的文明古国，大约有5000年悠久和神秘的历史。

是中国人发明的指南针帮助人们解决了这个难题。
指南针是指示方向的仪器。
早在战国时期（The Warring States Period (475BC-221BC)，中国人就发现了磁石（magnet）指示南北的特性，并根据这种特性制成了指示方向的仪器——司南(sinan)。
到了宋代，人们制成了罗盘（luopan）。
指南针的发明，给航海事业带来了划时代的影响，世界航运史也由此翻开了新的一页。
（195字）【参考译文】Before the compass was invented, most people identified the direction at sea, only depending upon the position of the sun and stars. If it was cloudy or rainy, people would lose their direction. It was the compass, invented by the Chinese people, that solved this problem. The compass is the instrument used for indicating direction. As early as the Warring States Period (475BC-221BC), the Chinese discovered that a magnet could be applied to indicate the south and north, and a direction-indicating instrument sinan was made on the basis of this feature. In the Song Dynasty, people created a compass called luopan. The invention of the compass has an epoch-making influence on navigation, thereby opening up a new era in the history of international navigation.(陈娴供稿)4.和为贵中华传统文化底蕴深厚，博大精深。

（199字）【参考译文】The traditional Chinese culture is rich, extensive and profound. Harmony, the supreme value cherished in ancient China, lies at the heart of the Chinese culture, which has nurtured the broad mind of the Chinese nation. The Chinese nation is generous and tolerant, just as Mother Earth cares for all living things and s he is in constant pursuit of justice, just as the eternal movement of the Universe.The argument that a big power is bound to seek hegemony does not apply to China. Seeking hegemony goes against China’s cultural tradition as well as the will of the Chinese people. China’s development harms no one and threatens no one. We shall be a peace-loving country, a country that is eager to learn from and cooperate with others. We are committed to building a harmonious world.（陈颖供稿）5. 儒家思想是中国传统文化的基石。
