文章賞析

(CNN)Ahead of competing at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janiero, Yusra Mardini, along with the nine other athletes that make up the Olympic Refugee Team were sent a letter by Pope Francis.
在參加本次於里約熱內盧舉辦的奧運賽前，教宗方濟各寫了信給Yusra Mardini及其他9位成員所組成的奧運難民隊。
"I extend my greetings and wish you success at the Olympic Games in Rio -- that your courage and strength find expression through the Olympic Games and serve as a cry for peace and solidarity," wrote the Pope.
教宗寫道『我向你們致以問候，祝你們在本屆奧運會中取得勝利。願你們的勇氣和力量能透過奧運比賽體現出來，成為和平與團結的呼聲。』
Aged 14, Mardini swam for Syria at swimming's short-course world championships in 2012. But with her home destroyed in the ongoing conflict, she and her sister decided to flee the country in August last year.
2012年，14歲的Mardini就參加了敘利亞短程游泳錦標賽。但是在去年八月，不斷的火線衝突中，毀滅了她的家園，她與姊姊決定逃亡。
From Lebanon they reached Turkey and then took a boat to Greece -- but the boat began to slowly sink as it took on water during the journey.
從黎巴嫩到土耳其，接著他們搭船前往希臘，但旅途上卻因為船吃水的狀況而逐漸沉沒。
Mardini had to jump into the water and, summoning all of her swimming and survival know-how, help push the boat and its occupants until it safely reached Greek shores.
Mardini必須跳下水，賣命地游泳並發揮生存本事，協助推船以及上面的乘客們直到安全抵達希臘岸上。
"I thought it would be a real shame if I drowned in the sea, because I am a swimmer," is how she summed up the nightmare to reporters earlier this year. She is now living and training in Germany.
她跟記者總結那場惡夢實是這麼說的『我覺得如果我淹死在海裡會是相當羞恥的事，畢竟我是個泳者』目前她在德國生活與受訓。
"These refugees have no home, no team, no flag, no national anthem," International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said when he announced the selected athletes last month. The IOC came up with the plan in March, creating a $2 million training fund and shortlisting dozens of refugee athletes for potential selection.
國際奧運委員會主席Thomas Bach於上月宣佈獲選運動員名單時說到『這些難民沒有家，沒有隊伍，沒有國旗，沒有國歌』，IOC(國際奧運委員會的縮寫)在三月的時候提出這個計畫，設立了一個200萬的訓練基金，並選出12位難民運動員提供初選。
Bach added: "These refugee athletes will show the world that despite the unimaginable tragedies that they have faced, anyone can contribute to society through their talent, skills and strength of the human spirit."
Bach又說『儘管他們遭遇這些無法想像的災難，這些難民運動員將會向世界展示他們仍可以對社會貢獻他們的長才，技藝以及勇氣的力量。
