The Olympic games represent an instant's dream come true through the triumph of the athlete we ident Explanation: The Olympic games represent an instant's dream come true through the triumph of the athlete we identify ourselves with I would prefer to find something more poetic than "through" but I couldn't. |

The Olypmic Games give us.... Explanation: "The Olypmic Games give us the opportunity of being there to share with each athlete their dream of reaching their peak performance." A "wooden spoon" suggestion, I suspect! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 26 mins (2008-02-15 10:46:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or "provide us with the moment where we can be there..." However, I'm wondering if you need to be "time specific" to capture what is being conveyed. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 35 mins (2008-02-15 10:55:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or "share our athlete's dream of reaching.." - original suggestion assumes that there is some "poetic" leeway in terms of which athlete(s) are being referred to. |

peer agreement (net): +2a time to dream as we see the athletes... fulfilling their own dreams Explanation: "The Olympic Games are a time to dream as we see the athletes we identify with fulfilling their own dreams." One possible rendition. "Epanouissement" is a tough one though. It would be good to find a way to work in something about athletic potential or hard work... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2008-02-15 13:10:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or how about this: "During the Olympic Games, we live our dreams through the accomplishments and emotions of the athletes we identify with." |
