     As is shown in the drawing above, there are five Olympic rings which represent the five continents on Earth: Asia, Africa, Europe, America and Oceania. The caption indicates: "Sportsmanship".
     Enthusiasm for sports is of tremendous benefit to young people and should be promoted as an integral part of their education. The main reason for promoting sportsmanship among adolescents is to encourage them to lead a sporting lifestyle which focuses more on cooperation than competition. Schools should foster children's interest in sports to instill into them the values of teamwork and sportsmanship. Enthusiasm for sports in general, whether individual or team-based, can teach young people how to be sportsmanlike in competitive circumstances, including playing by the rules and being humble in victory and gracious in defeat.
     Sportsmanship affects us not only in our athletic and sporting life but in our personal and business lives. It is better to be remembered as a gracious loser than as an arrogant winner.

     如上图所示，这是奥运五环，代表着地球上的五大洲：亚洲、非洲、欧洲、美洲和大洋洲。说明文字显示："体育精神"。
     热爱体育运动对年轻人大有裨益，所以我们应该鼓励把培养体育运动兴趣作为学生教育必不可少的组成部分。在青少年中提倡体育精神的主要原因在于鼓励他们过上重视体育运动的生活，这种生活方式强调合作大于竞争。学校应该培养孩子们对体育运动的兴趣，向他们灌输一种合作的价值观和体育精神。总的来说，无论是个人项目还是集体项目，热爱体育运动都能教会年轻人在竞争的情况下如何具有体育精神，包括遵守比赛规则，胜不骄、败不馁。
     体育精神对我们的影响不仅体现在进行体育运动时，也体现在我们的个人生活和工作中。最好是作为一个有风度的失败者被人们记住，而不是作为一个傲慢的获胜者。
