远东运动会

远东运动会与中国早期奥林匹克活动&一段被人淡忘的历史

Far East Games and early Olympic movement in China & A phase of history faded from memory

杰夫：看来，远东运动会和西亚运动会就是亚运会的前身了。

Jeff : It seems that the Far East Games and West Asia Games were the predecessor of the Asian Games .

亚运会起源于1913年在菲律宾马尼拉举行的第一届东方奥运会（也称远东运动会）。

The Asian Games came from the1st Oriental Olympics ( also called the Far East Championships ) . These were held in Manila in1913 .

第二次世界大战结束后，中、菲两国体育界人士就有恢复远东运动会的打算。

People from both the Chinese and Philippine Sports circles had the intention to restore the Far East Games right after the Second World War .

杰夫：啊，就是由亚洲奥林匹克理事会主办的综合运动会，前身为远东运动会和西亚运动会。

Jeff : Yes . The games is held by the Asian Olympic Council . It was called the " Far East Games " originally .

王平：要说亚运会，不能不提远东运动会。它是亚运会的前身。

Wang ping : if we talk about the Asian games , we have to talk about the Far East Games first since the Far East Games was the former Asian Games now .
