2008北京申奥演讲稿中英文(杨澜)

Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen,Good afternoon! Before I introduce our cultural programs, I want to tell yo u one thing first about 2008. You’re going to have a great time in Beijing.China has its own sport legends. Back to Song Dynasty, about the 11th century, people started to p lay a game called Cuju, which is regarded as the origin o f ancient football. The game was very popular and women were also participating. Now, you will understand why ou r women football team is so good today.There are a lot m ore wonderful and exciting things waiting for you in New Beijing, a dynamic modern metropolis with 3,000 years of cultural treasures woven into the urban tapestry. Along wi th the iconic imagery of the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall, the city offers an endless mi xture of theatres, museums, discos, all kinds of restaurant s and shopping malls that will amaze and delight you. Bu t beyond that, it is a place of millions of friendly people who love to meet people from around the world. People o f Beijing believe that the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing will help to enhance the harmony between our culture and the diverse cultures of the world. Their gratitude will pou

r out in open expressions of affection for you and the gre at Movement that you guide. Within our cultural programs, education and communication will receive the highest pri ority. We seek to create an intellectual and sporting legac y by broadening the understanding of the Olympic Ideals throughout the country. Cultural events will unfold each y ear, from 2005 to 2008. We will stage multi-disciplined cult ural programs, such as concerts, exhibitions, art competiti ons and camps which will involve young people from aro und the world. During the Olympics, they will be staged i n the Olympic Village and the city for the benefit of the a thletes. Our Ceremonies will give China’s greatest-and the world’s greatest artists a stage for celebrating the comm on aspirations of humanity and the unique heritage of our culture and the Olympic Movement. With a concept inspir ed by the famed Silk Road, our Torch Relay will break ne w ground, traveling from Olympia through some of the ol dest civilizations known to man-Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Byzantine, Mesopotamian, Persian, Arabian, Indian and Chi nese. Carrying the message "Share the Peace, Share the Olympics," the eternal flame will reach new heights as it crosses the Himalayas over the world’s highest summit -

Mount Qomolangma, which is known to many of you as Mt. Everest. In China, the flame will pass through Tibet, c ross the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, travel the Great Wall and visit Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and the 56 ethnic co mmunities who make up our society. On its journey, the f lame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay. I am afraid I can not present the who le picture of our cultural programs within such a short pe riod of time. Before I end, let me share with you one stor y. Seven hundred years ago, amazed by his incredible dei ons of a far away land of great beauty.d by his incredible deio whether his stories about China were true.He answe red: What I have told you was not even half of what I sa w. Actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of Beijing that awaits you. Ladies and gentleme n, I believe that Beijing will prove to be a land of wonder s to athletes, spectators and the worldwide television audi ence alike. Come and join us.Thank you, Mr. President. Th ank you all.
