Passing the torch of peace and friendship.
The Olympics are an international athletic competition designed to spread peace and friendship around the world. An important part of the opening ceremonies is the lighting of the Olympic flame and the torch relay.
The tradition of the Olympic flame dates back thousands of years to ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks considered fire a pure and sacred element that helped humans evolve. In modern days, the Olympic flame is lit through an ancient method with the light of the sun in Olympia, Greece.

The addition of the torch relay didn’t come until the 1930s. It was the idea of Dr. Carl Diem, an organizer of the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany. Diem dreamed of having more than 3,000 runners from different nations pass the flame across thousands of miles. The relay transported the flame from Olympia, Greece, to the site of the Olympic Games in Berlin.
At that time, the Nazis had gained power in Germany and wanted to use Diem’s idea to glorify their party. They organized the first torch relay ceremony before the 1936 Summer Games. Three years later, World War II broke out and the Olympics were canceled for over a decade. At London’s 1948 Olympics, the torch relay became a symbol of the return of peace.

傳遞象徵和平與友誼的火炬
奧運會是一項國際體育賽事，旨在世界各地散播和平與友誼。開幕典禮的其中重要一環是奧運聖火的點燃與火炬傳遞。奧林匹克聖火的傳統可追溯至數千年前的古希臘。古希臘人認為火是一種純淨又神聖的元素，可以幫助人類進化。在今日，奧林匹克聖火在希臘奧林匹亞透過古老的方法使用陽光點燃。
火炬傳遞的加入直到 1930 年代才發生。這是 1936 年德國柏林奧運會主辦者之一卡爾．丁姆的主意。丁姆夢想使三千多名來自不同國家的跑者跨越數千英里傳遞聖火。這次傳遞活動將聖火從希臘奧林匹亞傳送至柏林的奧運會場所。
當時，納粹在德國掌權且想利用丁姆的主意來讚揚他們的政黨。他們在 1936 年夏季奧運會前組織了首次的火炬傳遞儀式。三年後，第二次世界大戰爆發，而奧運會取消了十多年。在 1948 年的倫敦奧運會，火炬傳遞成為和平回歸的象徵。
