| （湖北大学 历史文化学院，湖北 武汉 430062） 摘 要：自现代奥运会诞生以来，人们对于古代奥运会有五大误解：古代奥运会旨在促进和平；古代奥运会与政治无关；古代奥运会的参赛者是为荣誉，不是为利益；古代奥运会重参与和友谊；古代奥运会是完全业余性质的。这些误解在西方随着20世纪以来古典研究的深入逐渐得以消除，但在我国仍然存在。对这些误解的分析，不仅向公众介绍了新知，而且有助于我们加深对奥林匹克运动本质的理解。它们实际上是今人给古代涂上的一层玫瑰色，并非古代社会的本色。它们反映了现代人自己的困境和焦虑。明白这些误解，不是要教人们悲观，而是希望现代人不要让想象中的古代社会束缚自己，而要创造性地解决自身面临的问题。 |

These misunderstandings have been gradually eliminated in western countries with the deepening of classical study made since the 20th century, but still exist in China. Analyzing these misunderstandings can not only introduce new knowledge to the public, but also be conducive for us to further understand the nature of the Olympic moment. They are actually a coating of rose color on the ancient by modern people, but not the true color of the ancient society. They reflect modern people’s own confusions and anxieties. Understanding these misunderstandings is not for teaching people to be pessimistic, but for hoping that modern people will creatively solve their own problems in stead of being confined by the imaginary ancient society. |
