範文：
A first glace at this picture gives us the impression that it is a common running competition. Yet, a more careful survey reveals that the participants of the race come from different countries, as is indicated by their skin colors. The banner behind further tells us that the event was held jointly by Chinese and American students on the symbolic site of the Great Wall.
Anyone who sees this picture would be convinced that such an activity must generate international friendship among the young. As is commonly known, sports usually serve the role of “ambassador” among nations, greatly promoting mutual understanding and communication between different peoples. Take the Sino-U.S. relation as an example, against the background of the Cold War in the 1970s, the cold relation between the two countries was firstly warmed up not by politicians but ping-pong players from both countries. Moreover, the Olympic Games is also endeavoring to achieve the ultimate goal of uniting the world’s citizens by encouraging them to compete fairly in the domain of sports.
To briefly conclude, sport activities and competitions not only bring forth personal enjoyment and friendship among common people, but more importantly, beneficial exchanges across countries, and for that matter, world peace and prosperity. In particular, they can also help shape a more sound relationship among future generations.
譯文：
第一眼看到這幅圖給我們的印象是這是一場普通的跑步比賽。但是，仔細觀察該圖我們會發現跑步者膚色不同，他們應該是來自不同的國家。圖上的橫幅進一步告訴我們這是一場中美學生在具有象徵意義的中國長城上舉辦的一場活動。
任何看過這幅圖畫的人們都會相信這樣的一場活動一定會促成年輕人之間的國際友誼。眾所周知，運動一般都扮演了國家之間的“大使”這一角色，能夠巨大地促進不同民族之間的互相理解和交流。以中美關係為例，在20世紀70年代冷戰的大背景下，兩國關係不是由政治家而是兩國的乒乓球運動員們改善的。此外，奧林匹克運動會也是努力通過鼓勵世界人民通過體育的公平競爭來達到團結人們的最終目的的。
簡單的總結來說，體育活動和競賽不僅可以帶來個人的享受和民間友誼，更重要的是還可以帶來跨國間的有益交流，以及世界和和平和繁榮，特別是還可以幫助在下一代之間形成更加健康的關係。
