商務(wù)英語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ)會(huì)話(huà)視頻教程(初級(jí))20_The true potential of pyeongchang

小編導(dǎo)語(yǔ)：該視頻中主要介紹了有關(guān)平昌的真正潛力一些內(nèi)容，從視頻中我們可以學(xué)到平昌具有哪些方面的潛力。平昌郡位于大韓民國(guó)江原道。平昌曾兩度以些微票數(shù)落選冬季奧運(yùn)主辦權(quán)。2010年冬奧以三票之差敗于加拿大溫哥華，2014年冬奧以4票敗于俄羅斯索契，2011年7月6日三度申辦冬奧的平昌，終順利勝出獲選為2018年冬奧的主辦城市。接下來(lái)跟著小編一起來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)吧!

Good afternoon.

My name is Toby Dawson.

My name is also Kim Bong-seok.

I'm a freestyle skier and I'm an Olympian.

I'm a Korean by birth yet I'm also an American.

That last sentence contains an entire story about the true potential of Pyeongchang 2018...

...and the legacy of "New Horizons".

And it's why I'm so honored to be here today.

I was born in Busan, South Korea in 1978.

When I was three years old, a couple adopted me in the United States.

Luckily for me, they lived in Vail, Colorado.

My parents introduced me to skiing at an early age,...

...as a means to adapt to a new family and a new culture.

As all of you have witnessed many times before,...

...sports can be transformative for a young person.

It certainly was for me.

Skiing was a means of expressing myself in a positive way.

It gave me the confidence to believe in myself...

...as a kid, as a teenager, and as a young man.

That is the true gift of sport:...

...it provides hope.

Thinking back on it now, I realized that had I remained in Korea,...

...I may not have had the opportunity to be an Olympian.

You see, Korea simply did not have the resources to provide someone like me...

...with the chance of competing in the Winter Games.

The very thing that winter athletes take for granted...

...in Europe and North America, simply did not exist in my home country.

That's what this bid is all about ladies and gentlemen.
