作者：爱　奥／辑译

　　Fuwa also embodies both the landscape and the dreams and aspirations of people from every part of the vast country of China．In their origins and their headpieces，you can see the five elements of nature一the sea，forest，fire，earth and sky-all stylisticly rendered in ways that represent the deep traditional influences ofChinese folk art and ornamentation．
　　In the ancient culture of China，there is a grand tradition of spreading blessings through signs and symbols．Each figure of Fuwa symbolizes a different blessing-and will honor this tradition by carrying their blessings to the children of the world．Prosperity，happiness，passion，health and good luck will be spread to every continent as Fuwa carry their invitation to Beijing 2008 to every part of the globe．
　　At the heart of their mission-and through all of their work-Fuwa will seek to unite the world in peace and friendship through the Olympic spirit．Dedicated to helping Beijing 2008 spread its theme of One World，One Dream to every continent，Fuwa reflect the deep desire of the Chinese people to reach out to the world in filendship through the Games-and to invite every man，woman and child to take part in the great celebration of human solidarity that China will host in the light of the flame in 2008．
　　·The Official Emblem·
　　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：to convey the unique cultural quality and elegance of Chinese civilization；to express China's blessing of luck and happiness with the favorite red color；to invite friends from all over the world to Beijing；to challenge the extreme and achieve the perfect and promote the Olympic motto of“Citius，Altius，Fortius(Faster，Higher，Stronger)”．
　　·The Olympic Slogan·
　　The slogan for the 2008 Olympic Games is“One World One Dream”．
　　·The Paralympic Games·
　　The Paralympic Movement started in 1948，when a sports competition was organized for persons with a disability during the London Olympic Games．In 1960，two weeks after the Rome Olympic Games，400 athletes from 23 countries participated in Olympic style games organized for the first time for the disabled in Rome．These were the first Paralympic Games．
　　The Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games will be the 13th Paralympics and be held about 10 days after the Beijing Olympic Games is over．
　　BOCOG is also the organizing committee for the Beijing Paralympic Games．It will be responsible for the preparations of both the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games．The venues for the Olympic Games will be adjusted to meet the needs of the Paralympic sports．The level of support and the services provided to Paralympians would be the same as those provided to Olympians．
