导言：

    在北京奥运会如火如荼地进行时，奥运赛场上志愿者们的微笑感动着每一个人，不仅仅是来自国内，还有更多来自世界各地、具有奉献精神的志愿者们。他们很多都是大学生，经过千挑万选、层层选拔来到中国。他们在中国的经历已经成为生命中最宝贵的回忆之一。

Whilst the timing of the opening ceremony was chosen deliberately, many people hoped that China wouldn't have to rely on luck in order to top the medal tables. Many weeks before, however, any visitor to the capital would have been hard-pressed to avoid the eager groups of blue-shirted Olympic volunteers. Not only, of course, the volunteers from China, but also the volunteers from around the world who came to China to be a part of the Olympic Games.
