劉翔兩會提建議:加強校園體育活動
"The deterioration of children's fitness levels has been a pressing issue in society, and has also drawn attention from the Sports circle. Promoting the role of physical education in schools needs to be given greater importance," Liu, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said on Thursday.
上週四，中國人民政治協商會議委員劉翔表示，“青少年健康水平的下降已經成爲整個社會要面對的一大緊迫性問題，同時也引起了體育界的關注。提升校園中體育教學的角色，這需給予更高的重視度。”Although retired from athletics, Liu, the gold medalist in men's 110-meter hurdles at the 2004 Athens Olympics, was mobbed by a huge group of reporters when he appeared at the opening meeting of the CPPCC National Committee's annual session on Monday.
儘管已經退役，但是劉翔，這位2004年雅典奧運會男子110米欄的金牌得主一出現在週一的全國政協委員年度會議開幕式上，就被一大羣記者圍住。
Due to a heel injury that sidelined him from the Olympics finals in Beijing 2008 and London 2012, Liu announced his retirement last April. The 32-year-old Shanghai native said he could now spend more time promoting youth sports participation.
由於腳踝受傷，劉翔未能參加2008年北京奧運會和2012年倫敦奧運會決賽，去年四月，他宣佈退役。這位32歲的上海人表示，他現在可以花更多的時間參與青少年體育運動的推廣。
Liu didn't explain his new proposal to the top political advisory body in detail but revealed that it is related to implementing school PE curriculums.
劉翔並未詳談他在政協會議上的新提案，但他透露，提案是與學校體育課程的實施相關的。During last year's IAAF World Championships in Beijing, Liu participated in a series of youth promotion events while working with CCTV as a guest commentator.
在北京去年的國際田聯世錦賽時，作爲中央電視臺特邀評論員，劉翔參加了一系列的青少年推廣活動。"Track and field is the foundation of all sports. Due to reasons such as safety concerns and lack of a field, some schools took events like long-distance running off their PE courses, or replaced outdoor exercise with lectures in classrooms, which for me isn't the right decision," Liu said. "One man's voice, however, is small. I hope to see all the relevant parties work together to improve on-campus sports facilities and to cut down academic assignments to allow students to exercise more."
他說：“田徑運動是所有運動的基礎。出於安全考慮以及缺乏活動場地，一些學校取消了如長跑等體育課程，或以室內講座替代戶外運動，我認爲這不是一個正確的決定。然而，一個人的力量是有限的。我希望相關各方能共同努力，改善校園體育設施、減少學術作業，讓學生得到更多的身體鍛鍊。”According to the national fitness survey by the General Administration of Sport of China and the Ministry of Education, physical test results for college and secondary school students in key categories including speed, lower-limb strength and stamina have continued to decline.
根據中國國家體育總局和教育部的全民健身調查顯示，大學生和中學生在一些像速度、下肢力量和耐力的主要類別測試中，體能測試的成績已經持續下降。Youth fitness has drawn growing concern among notable sports figures, including basketball star Yao Ming, who is also a CPPCC National Committee member. During last year's session, Yao proposed upgrading the school curriculum by introducing more sports events and after-school competitions.
青少年健康問題已經越來越受到一些體育名人的關注，其中就包括同爲全國政協委員的籃球明星姚明。在去年的會議上，姚明提議引入更多的體育活動和課餘競賽，以提升學校課程質量。
