The translation of the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics is English, Chinese and French. At the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, the broadcast was conducted in three languages. It's not hard to tell. The second one is English and the third one is Chinese. Do you know which one is the other? I believe many people are confused, thinking that their English level has plummeted and they can't understand standard English.

There are also many people who think of the Olympic Games according to the Winter Olympics through rich imagination, and then think that the birthplace is ancient Greece. Isn't this Greek? No wonder they don't understand. But in fact, the language is French.

The history of using French in the Olympic Games

The Olympic Games was first held in ancient Greece. There are many stories and legends, some choose husbands for princesses, and some contact the polis. It really seems that it should be broadcast in Greek, but in fact, the Olympic Games held in ancient Greece were stopped because of the war, and it was not resumed until 1500 years later.

It was a Frenchman Coubertin who proposed to resume hosting. The next Olympic Games will be called the Olympic Games, and some people call it the modern Olympic Games. So in memory of Mr. Coubertin, the first language of the Olympic Games is French, the second language is English, and the third language is the organizer's language. Of course, because French is considered as the most rigorous language, many international conferences are explained and written in French.
