奥林匹克五环标志是由皮埃尔-德-顾拜旦于1913年构思设计的，它是世界范围内最为人们广泛认知的奥林匹克运动会标志。五个不同颜色的圆环代表了参加现代奥林匹克运动会的五大洲——欧洲、亚洲、非洲、大洋洲和美洲。每一个参加奥林匹克运动会的国家都能在自己的国旗上找到至少一种五环的颜色。
What do the five rings on the Olympic flag represent?
The five-ringed symbol "represents the union of the five continents (Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and America) and the meeting of athletes from throughout the world at the Olympic Games." Baron Pierre de Coubertin conceived of both the symbol and the flag. Not coincidentally, Coubertin is the founder of the modern Olympic Movement. The Olympic Committee adopted the flag in 1914, and it was first flown at the 1920 Antwerp Games. The colors of the flag-- blue, black, red, yellow, and green on a white field -- are used because at least one of these colors exists in each of the flags of the nations participating in the Olympics.

法国教育家顾拜旦是公认的现代奥林匹克创始人，他为奥林匹克运动的诞生和发展作出了卓越贡献。1888年，顾拜旦就任法国学校教育、体育训练筹备委员会秘书长。1889年顾拜旦代表法国参加在波士顿举行的国际体育训练大会，进一步了解世界体育的动态。

Olympic Sports
The modern reincarnation of the Olympic Games was the brainchild of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a French noble-man who sought to invigorate the young men of France with a healthy dose of athletic exercise and competition. De Coubertin's imagination was lit by the idea of a cultural, religious, and athletic festival so magnificent and so glorious that it would stimulate the youth, not only of France but of all the world, to higher ideals. In 1892, he announced in Paris that the first modern Olympiad would commence in four years. The Baron's tenacity in promoting this idea saw success in Athens in 1896, when the first Olympic Games since antiquity opened to great local fanfare (although few others in the world paid attention).

会徽 Emblem

“舞动的北京”是一座奥林匹克里程碑。它用中华民族精神镌刻、古老文明意蕴书写、华夏子孙品格铸就出的一首奥林匹克史诗中的经典华章。
The official emblem of Beijing 2008 entitled "Chinese Seal-Dancing Beijing" cleverly combines the Chinese seal and the art of calligraphy with sporting features, transforming the elements into a human figure running forward and embracing triumph. The figure resembles the Chinese character "Jing", which stands for the name of the host city and represents a particularly significant Chinese style. The artwork embodies four messages:
- Chinese culture,
- the color of red China
- Beijing welcomes friends from all over the world
- to challenge the extreme and achieve the perfect and promote the Olympic motto of "Citius, Altius, Fortius (Faster, Higher, Stronger).

奖牌 Medal

奖牌背面镶嵌着取自中国古代龙纹玉璧造型的玉璧，背面正中的金属图形上镌刻着北京奥运会会徽。

The medal Games is designed with inspiration coming from "bi", China's ancient jade piece inscribed with dragon pattern. The medals, made of gold and jade, symbolize nobility and virtue and are embodiment of traditional Chinese values of ethics and honor, sending forth strong Chinese flavor.

火炬 Torch

火炬创意灵感来自“渊源共生 和谐共融”的“祥云”图案。祥云文化概念在中国具有上千年时间跨度。

The Logo of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch Relay owes much of its inspiration to the traditional concept of "fire phoenix", and presents the image of two runners holding the Olympic Flame high. As ancient Chinese legend has it, phoenix is the king of all birds, and symbolizes good fortune, eternity, nobility and happiness. The use of the phoenix image in the Torch Relay logo conveys the idea that the Torch Relay will send the best wishes from the Beijing Olympic Games to people all over China and the rest of the world.
