乒乓外交史 Ping-pong Diplomacy

　　One of the first public hints of improved U.S.-China relations came on April 6, 1971, when the American Ping-Pong team, in Japan for the 31st World Table Tennis Championship, received a surprise invitation from their Chinese colleagues for an all-expense paid visit to the People’s Republic. Time magazine called it "The ping heard round the world." On April 10, nine players, four officials, and two spouses stepped across a bridge from Hong Kong to the Chinese mainland, ushering in an era of "Ping-Pong diplomacy." They were the first group of Americans allowed into China since the Communist takeover in 1949.

　　1971年4月6日，乒乓球曾經(jīng)作為中美關(guān)系友好使者，為兩國(guó)關(guān)系的發(fā)展做出了突出的貢獻(xiàn)。那時(shí)，美國(guó)的乒乓球隊(duì)，在日本參加第31屆乒乓球冠軍賽事。他們驚奇地接受到來(lái)自中國(guó)的邀請(qǐng)，費(fèi)用全由中國(guó)承擔(dān)。正如紐約時(shí)代雜志所說(shuō)，乒乓球的聲音回蕩全球！4月10日，9名隊(duì)員，4名官員，兩對(duì)夫婦登上了香港連接大陸的橋梁，捧出了“乒乓外交”。他們就是從1949年新中國(guó)成立以后，第一批踏上中國(guó)土地的人們。

　　In various ping-pong games, the most famous is the world championship competition, which was held once a year at the beginning, now, it is held twice a year ever since 1957.

　　在名目繁多的乒乓球比賽中，最負(fù)盛名的是世界乒乓球錦標(biāo)賽，起初每年舉行一次，1957年后改為兩年舉行一次。

　　In 1904, a shanghai shop keeper called Wang Dao WU, brought 10 sets of table tennis tools home, the game was therein introduced to china.

　　1904年，上海一家文具店的老板王道午從日本買回10套乒乓球器材.從此,乒乓球運(yùn)動(dòng)傳入中國(guó)。
