伦敦奥运开幕式确实值得表扬。它与北京奥运开幕式相比的低调体现了英国人识时务为俊杰的睿智。 并非所有的国家都有资格办中国那样的奥运开幕式。奥运开幕式展现的形象得与国家的地位相称。如果国力一般，却极显夸张，就像一个县令出行却打出王侯的排场，那是不合时宜的。 伦敦奥运开幕式导演 Danny Boyle就是个睿智的人。他说， 英国曾经是地球上最强大的国家，但今天它在世界事务中的角色已经降低，因此英国人应该谦虚一点，英国人开始明白自己在世界的地位。100年前英国率先工业革命，领导了世界，但世界已经变了，英国已经没有那么多的资源可以与北京争高低。 伦敦奥运会开幕式恰到好处，在于其得体。毕竟英国已经只是几个岛屿。 http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20120729/olympics2012/Beijing-show-liberated-us-says-Boyle.430609 Britain, which used to be the most powerful nation on earth, was being forced to come to terms with a reduced role in the world. “You know, this is our land, really. These are our islands. And this will be the last time we get something like this. There has to be a modesty.... you can’t get grandiose with this job because you are following Beijing,” said Boyle. “It is a late call for our nation, I think because we are learning our new place in the world,” he added. “One hundred years ago we were everything and obviously the Industrial Revolution is partly about that, but there’s a change.” “We don’t have as many resources and that’s fine, that’s a good thing, really. “And the world has changed in terms of Europe since then. You have to be sensible about it,” he added.
美国游泳教练协会主席 John Leonard 公开怀疑叶诗文使用禁药之后，美国媒体纷纷转载发表相关影射文章。对此，国际奥委会发言人MARK ADAMS 表示，美国人面对出色的表现不会鼓掌，而只会倒酸水是可悲的。（ It's very sad we can't applaud a great performance.） 国际泳联主席 Julio Maglione向美联社称，人们有说蠢话的自由，但指责叶诗文的人有精神病。他指出，参赛的运动员不仅在赛场经过了严格的药检，即使不是赛季他们也得进行药检，叶诗文通过了所以检验，没有任何问题。（ FINA president Julio Maglione told The Associated Press that people are free to say "stupid things" if they want. "It's a big mistake," Maglione said of Ye's doubters. "The people that said this is crazy."） 澳大利亚教练对美国人更为恼火：“他们完全是凭空指责，尤其是美国人，因为他们这次基本LOSER”。（ "They are just laying it on, especially the Americans because they are losing the whole damn meet," Wood told the AP by phone from Australia. "They are creating double standards."） 麦克菲尔普斯在北京拿八块金牌的时候，中国人给他鼓掌，没有人说怀疑的话。这就是中华文明的气派。 http://www.ajc.com/sports/ioc-fina-and-others-1488114.html see also BBC NEWS 31 July 2012 Last updated at 12:47 GMT China swimmer Ye Shiwen clean, says BOA boss Moynihan Lord Moynihan: "It's regrettable that there is so much speculation out there in the press" Teenage Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen is not a drug cheat, the British Olympic Association's chairman has said, after a US coach cast doubt on her world record-breaking swim.
