奥林匹克会歌　
        Olympic Anthem　
             The anthem was performed for the first time for the ceremony of opening of the first edition at the 1896 Athens Olympic Games. In the following years every hosting nation commissioned to various musicians the composition of a specific Olympic hymn for their own edition of the games. This happened up to the edition at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome.
            The Anthem by Samaras and Palamas was declared the official Olympic Anthem by the International Olympic Committee in 1958 at the 55th Session of the IOC in Tokyo. Since 1960, it has been used at the Opening Ceremonies of each Olympic Games.
            参考译文：奥运会会歌首次出现是在1896年的雅典奥运会上。接下来的几年都是东道主确定会歌，是由音乐家为此项运动特殊创作的歌曲。这一直持续到1960年罗马夏季奥运会上。国际奥委会在1958年于东京举行的第55次全会上最后确定还是用《奥林匹克圣歌》这首歌为《奥运会会歌》。其乐谱现存放于国际奥委会总部。其主要的含义是从奥林匹克活动中去追求人生的真、善、美。
