　　While many of the world's most famous athletes are gearing up for the Beijing Olympics in August, there are other athletes training every bit as hard for a second Olympic games in September.

　　當眾多著名運動員在為8月的北京奧運會積極備戰的時候，更有許多其它的運動員在付出同樣的努力備戰9月的第二個奧運會。

　　The 14th Paralympic Games will see disabled athletes from around the world compete in 20 events ranging from wheelchair fencing to powerlifting.

　　在第14屆殘疾人奧運會上，我們將看到來自世界各地的殘疾人運動員參與包括輪椅擊劍至舉重的所有20項各級別比賽。

　　The Paralympic movement began at a British hospital in the aftermath of the Second World War, when sport was introduced as a therapeutic treatment for returning servicemen with spinal injuries.

　　殘疾人運動開始于二戰后的一個英國醫院里，當時該項運動被作為戰后脊髓損傷軍人的一種治療處理方式。

　　The first games took place in 1948 in London with two British teams competing in an archery competition. By 1960 the games had grown to include international athletes and were held in the same city as the Olympic Games.

　　第一屆殘疾人運動會于1948年在倫敦舉行，當時有兩支英國隊伍參與了箭術的比賽。1960年的倫敦殘疾人運動會已發展成一屆包括全球運動員的世界性賽事。

　　It is unclear where the name Paralympics came from but it was probably first coined as a pun or ‘portmanteau' word combining the words paraplegic and Olympic. These days, however, the term ‘para' is seen to signify a parallel competition that sits side by side with the main Olympic Games.

　　至于paralympics這個詞的來源似乎并不為人所知，但是它第一次被作為一個合成詞可能來源于paraplegic和Olympic這兩個詞。盡管是合成詞，但是它的地位卻并不低，詞綴"para"象征著殘奧會是同奧運會同等重要的一項賽事。

　　As well as athletes who have suffered spinal injuries, the modern Paralympics invites competitors with visual impairment, athletes with cerebral palsy, and amputees to participate in the games.

　　包括脊髓損傷的運動員，現代殘疾人奧運會邀請有視覺缺陷、大腦性麻痹癥以及截肢患者等參加比賽。

　　Although most of the Paralympic sports are also included in the Olympic Games, there are some sports that are unique to the Paralympics.

　　盡管大部分殘奧會項目在奧運會中也有所體現，但是仍有一些僅僅是殘奧會才有的項目。

　　Boccia is a game similar to bowls in which the competitor attempts to throw a number of leather balls as closely as possible to a target ball; the wheelchair dance event sees athletes perform dance routines with each other or with able-bodied partners.

　　So if you are a sports fan, remember that when the Olympic Games have finished, the Paralympics are just about to begin.

　　因此，如果你是一個體育迷的話，那么你應該記住，在奧運會結束后將為我們帶來的是殘疾人奧運會的一個個精彩瞬間。
