Olympic RingsThe colours of the interlinked Olympic rings were chosen by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) , to represent the union of the 5 continents , Australia , Africa , America , Asia and Europe and further signify the meeting of the worlds athletes at the Olympic Games.The plain white background of the Olympic flag is symbolic of peace throughout the games. The five colours of the rings from left to right are blue, black and red across the top with yellow and green along the bottom , these colours may be found on most flags of the world and officially hold no other particular significance , although some believe each colour represents a particular continent.五个福娃——海洋、森林、火焰、土地、天空；繁荣、幸福、热情、健康、好运；总之一句话：北京欢迎您！"We decided to produce five mascots instead of one, because we think no single figure can embody China's profound and diversified culture," said Han Meilin, chief of the mascot designers' group.Each of the Beijing Olympic mascots has a rhyming two-syllable name -- a traditional way of expressing affection for children in China. Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow.When these names are put together -- Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni -- they say "Welcome to Beijing".The five elements of nature -- the sea, forest, fire, earth and sky -- can be found in their origins and headpieces, all stylistically rendered in ways that represent the deep traditional influences of Chinese folk art and ornamentation.Each of the mascots also symbolizes a different blessing -- prosperity, happiness, passion, health and good luck.重点词汇syllable n.
