ROBERT PINSKY: The original Olympics of ancient Greece included familiar events like footraces and wrestling, as well as races in horsedrawn chariots and mule cars. The poet Pindar wrote many odes in 476 B.C. Pindar compares the games to the elements:

Water is supreme, and gold
Like fire at night stands out
Among all the subtances that heighten human pride--
But if you want to celebrate
Greatness in games, O my soul, you'll find
No brighter star in the vastness of space
Than the sun, no contest more glorious
Than Olympia--

English translation (literal)
ANTHEM OF THE GAMES

Ancient immortal Spirit, pure father
of beauty, of greatness and of truth,
descend, reveal yourself as lightning here
within the glory of your own earth and sky.


At running and wrestling and at throwing
illuminate in the noble Games

Happy -

一个最令人感到意外的发现是，快活的人较容易早死。 One of the most surprising finding is that happy people more vulnerable premature death. 加州大学研究者们说：「被父母和教师认为较快活、较有幽默感的儿童，在成年期早死的机会比那些不快活的人高 。与人们预期的相反，快活和幽默感的人恰恰较不长寿。」 University of California researchers said: "by their parents and teachers that live faster, more children have a sense of humour, premature death in adulthood than the chance of people who are not happy high. And people's expectations to the contrary, the people happy and good humour precisely Less longevity. "

一个解释是，快活的人低估了生命的危险处境，在遭遇不如意的事情时应付起来也较困难。 One explanation is that the happy life of people underestimate the danger of the situation, in the event of unsatisfactory when things are more difficult to cope with it. http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?hl...UNA_en___US232

Ha! Goddard didn't even try to become a portrait artist.

Too difficult, perhaps.
