13、tch!今年，我第一次体验了中国内蒙古自治区的那达慕大会。该节日于每年农历六月初四开始的，通常为期3天。“那达慕”在蒙古语中的意思是“游戏”，主要表现为三大赛事：赛马、摔跤和射箭，每项运动都动人心魄！On the first day, I set off to the games early with my friend Burin.I saw a lot of people wearing fancy Mongolian robes.Some others were chatting or taking photographs.Burin told me that Mongolians tr

14、avel every year from near and far to attend the festival, just as their ancestors had done for centuries.(那达慕大会的)第一天，我和好友布林早早出发来到了会场。我看到很多人穿着华丽的蒙古袍。有的在喂马，有的在练习射箭，其他人则在聊天或拍照。布林告诉我说，与他们数百年前的祖先一样，蒙古人每年都会从四面八方赶来参加这一节日。After the opening ceremony and some amazing performances, the wrestling competition be
