The Olympic flame
The Olympic flame is a symbol carried over from the ancient Olympics, where a flame burned at the altar(祭坛) of Zeus(宙斯) throughout competition. It was finally reintroduced at the 1928 Amsterdam(阿姆斯特丹) Games.
Carl Diem, chairman of the organizing committee for the 1936 Berlin Games, proposed that the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay. The idea was adopted (采纳) and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952.
The flame is lit at the ancient site (场所) of Olympia by the natural rays(光线;射线) of the sun reflected(反射) off curved(弧形的) mirror.

He had previously been at the Albert Le Grand School, where the Latin words were carved in the stone above the main entrance.
