当世界聚焦于俄罗斯索契的2014年冬季奥运会时,美国突显体育是一种让人们在友谊与和平之中汇集在一起的重要途径。

已故南非领导人纳尔逊•曼德拉(Nelson Mandela)曾经说过:“体育具有改变世界的力量。它所具有的团结力量几乎无可比拟。它以年轻人听得懂的语言与他们沟通。”

当世界聚焦于俄罗斯索契(Sochi)的2014年冬季奥运会时,美国着重强调体育是一种让人们在友谊与和平之中汇集在一起的重要途径的观点。美国国际开发署体育发展计划(United States Agency for International Development Sport for Development)高级顾问莫里•塔赫里波尔(Mori Taheripour)说,美国及私人组织长期以来也将体育作为全球发展和人道主义援助的工具,“因为它具有以独特和强有力的方式改变生活的能力”,例如采取更积极的行为方式。

塔赫里波尔在华盛顿的战略与国际问题研究中心(Center for Strategic and International Studies)说,体育能以积极的方式“吸引年轻人的注意力”。她提到,重视体育价值的社区已学会将其纳入儿童教育和经济发展项目中。

As the world turns its focus to the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, the United States sees sport as an important way to bring people together in friendship and peace.

“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to unite in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they can understand,” the late South African leader Nelson Mandela once said.

As the world turns its focus to the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, the United States turns a spotlight on its view of sport as an important way to bring people together in friendship and peace. The United States and private organizations also have long used sport as a tool in global development and humanitarian aid “because of its ability to transform lives in unique and powerful ways,” like adopting more positive behaviors, said Mori Taheripour, senior adviser for the United States Agency for International Development Sport for Development program.

At the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, Taheripour said sport is a positive vehicle that “captures the attention of youth.” She noted that communities that value sport have learned to integrate it into their child education and economic development programs.
