The last two weeks have witnessed the spectacle of 7th CISM Military World Games held in Wuhan. Over 10 thousand active soldiers from more than 100 countries gathered and competed. It is the first time that China has been the host of comprehensive international military events. Also, MWG this year has been the largest international sports gala held by China since the Beijing Olympics and Nanjing YOG. If given some words to conclude what happened, I will choose the three “V”: vision, victory and voluntary.
过去的两周见证了在武汉举办的第七届世界军人运动会的盛况。来自100多个国家的近万名现役军人同台竞技。这是中国第一次承办综合性国际军事赛事，也是继北京奥运会、南京青奥会后，中国举办的规模最大的国际体育盛会。如果让我选择一些词来加以总结，我会选择三个“V”，即视觉盛宴、凯旋归来、志愿同行。
Vision
视觉盛宴
The opening ceremony for MWG this year is absolutely a visual feast. Combined with advanced technology, the performance is immersed in traditional Chinese culture as well. For instance, the emblem, called “Bond of Peace and Friendship”, is composed by images like the dove of peace, exposing the core of our traditional Chinese culture——“He”.
本届军运会的开幕式无疑是一场视觉盛宴。表演在与前沿科技结合的同时，也浸染着中华传统文化。举例来说，会徽名为“和平友谊纽带”，由图形“和平鸽”等结合构成，展示了中华传统文化的核心——“和”
On the evening of October 27th, the 7th MWG, lasting for ten days, came to an end in Wuhan. Besides the same visual shock as the opening, the close ceremony brought well-noted Jiqing Street in Wuhan, to the stage, which granted MWG the characteristic of China and style of Wuhan, making itself the highlight.
10月27日晚，为期十天的第七届世界军人运动会在武汉落下帷幕。除了延续开幕式的视觉震撼之外，闭幕式将武汉享有盛名的吉庆街搬上了舞台。这使得军运会有中国特色、武汉风格，可谓是一大亮点。
Victory
大获全胜
On the fields of every event, China seems to be the king ——One gold medal per 50 minutes! In the end, 133 gold medals, 64 silver medals and 42 bronze ones, 239 in total, were taken, ranking the top of the medal table, which has achieved the best scores since China participated in MWG. Before now, China hasn’t dominated the rankings for both medals and gold ones in MWG.
中国似乎是每个项目的王者——平均五十分钟一块金牌！最终，中国代表团共获得133枚金牌、64枚银牌、42枚铜牌，列奖牌榜之首，创造了中国参加世界军人运动会以来的最好成绩。这也是中国首次问鼎军运会金牌榜、奖牌榜第一。
Li Yinhui, an undergraduate from Sports School of CCNU, together with her partner, Du Yue, defeated their opponents with 2:1 and won gold medal for China.
华中师范大学体育学院本科生李茵晖与搭档杜玥以2:1的成绩战胜对手，为祖国再得一枚金牌。
Pan Yucheng，who is called “bullet”, broke the world record of men’s 500m steeplechase.
人称“子弹哥”的潘玉程，打破了男子500m障碍跑的世界纪录。
In men’s 4×200m swimming relay race, Wang Shun was misled by other rivals and thus swam another 200m for no use but strength consumption. However, Wang, together with another 3 Chinese swimmers, still won the champion and broke the world record “by the way”.
在男子4×200m 游泳接力赛中，汪顺由于被其他选手误导，因而多游了200m，无效反而消耗了体力。但是，汪顺和其他三名中国游泳运动员，仍然赢得了冠军并“顺便”打破了世界纪录。
What also has to be mentioned is the disabled. Distinguished from the Olympics, which sets the disabled and the normal ones apart, MWG lets them stand on the same line, expressing the idea that those getting hurt at battlefield are not forgotten but honored, both as soldiers and sportsmen.
值得一提的还有残疾人运动员。区别于奥运会将残疾与健全运动员分开比赛，军运会让二者站在同一起跑线上。这表达了一种观点：在战场上负伤的军人没有被遗忘，而是以军人和运动员的身份被视为荣耀。
Voluntary
志愿同行
As one of the top universities in Wuhan, CCNU took an active part in relevant work. Over 60 students from Dance Department of Music School participated in the performance of the opening ceremony. Among more than1000 actors, those from CCNU all stood at the center of the stage! At that moment, the world was watching China, while China was watching CCNU!
我校作为在汉顶尖高校之一，积极参与相关工作。音乐学院舞蹈系60余名学生参加了开幕式表演。1000余名演员中，华师学子全部站在舞台的正中央！那一刻，世界看中国，中国看华师！
Also, there was a group of students appearing almost everywhere in the stadium: the “Little Metasequoia”. It’s named after the color of their clothes. They were divided in different groups, ranging from receiving guests to guiding them. Tiresome as the work was, the volunteers were still enthusiastic. “If not MWG, I couldn’t have the opportunity to acquaint myself with some many brilliant people, both the sports stars and other staff Included.”, one of them said, “And I’m also delighted to involve myself with such a huge gathering and make my own contributions.”
除此之外，还有一群学生，活跃在场馆的几乎每个角落：他们是“小水杉”。这是根据他们的衣服颜色命名的。他们被分成不同的小组，任务包含从接待嘉宾到引导等多个方面。尽管工作很累，但他们仍然活力满满。“如果不是军运会，我不可能有机会认识这么多出色的人，这包括运动明星和其他工作人员，”他们其中之一说，“我也很高兴能参与这场盛会并做出自己的贡献。”
