“业余爱好者”这个词在其相对较短的历史中只是断断续续地得到承认，它指的是出于爱好而做某事的人。“业余”的概念一直是奥林匹克历史和奥林匹克主义哲学的核心，尽管在20世纪的大部分时间里，这个词的行政应用在奥林匹克运动中一直存在争议，奥林匹克主义本身也在这个过程中不断被重新定义。上世纪80年代，国际奥委会实际上放弃了对业余运动的正式追求，但业余运动作为一个不可或缺的神话，仍然是奥林匹克项目的核心。本章从历史的角度考察了这一神话的发展与奥林匹克政治的关系。
The word ‘amateur’ - as has been acknowledged only intermittently during its comparatively brief history - refers simply to someone who does something for the love of it. The notion of the ‘amateur’ has always been central to Olympic history and to the philosophy of Olympism, even though the administrative application of the word was debated within the Olympic movement for much of the 20th century and Olympism itself was continually redefined in the process. The formal pursuit of amateurism was effectively abandoned by the International Olympic Committee in the 1980s but amateurism remains, as an indispensable myth, at the heart of the Olympic project. This chapter considers the progress of this myth historically in relation to Olympic politics.
