北京申奥陈述之一:杨澜
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen,Good afternoon!Before I introduce our cultural programs, I want to tell you 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 play a game called Cuju, which is regarded as the origin of ancient football. The game was very popular and women were also participating. Now, you will understand why our women football team is so good today.There are a lot more 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 with the iconic imagery of the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall, the city offers an endless mixture of theatres, museums, discos, all kinds of restaurants and shopping malls that will amaze and delight you. But beyond that, it is a place of millions of friendly people who love to meet people from around the world. People of 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 pour out in open expressions of affection for you and the great Movement that you guide. Within our cultural programs, education and communication will receive the highest priority. We seek to create an intellectual and sporting legacy by broadening the understanding of the Olympic Ideals throughout the country. Cultural events will unfold each year, from 2005 to 2008. We will stage multi-disciplined cultural programs, such as concerts, exhibitions, art competitions and camps which will involve young people from around the world. During the Olympics, they will be staged in the Olympic Village and the city for the benefit of the athletes. Our Ceremonies will give China's greatest-and the world's greatest artists a stage for celebrating the common aspirations of humanity and the unique heritage of our culture and the Olympic Movement. With a concept inspired by the famed Silk Road, our Torch Relay will break new ground, traveling from Olympia through some of the oldest civilizations known to man-Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Byzantine, Mesopotamian, Persian, Arabian, Indian and Chinese. 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, cross the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, travel the Great Wall and visit Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and the 56 ethnic communities who make up our society. On its journey, the flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay. I am afraid I can not present the whole picture of our cultural programs within such a short period of time. Before I end, let me share with you one story. Seven hundred years ago, amazed by his incredible deions of a far away land of great beauty, people asked Marco Polo whether his stories about China were true.He answered: What I have told you was not even half of what I saw. Actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of Beijing that awaits you. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that Beijing will prove to be a land of wonders to athletes, spectators and the worldwide television audience alike. Come and join us.Thank you,
Mr. President. Thank you all.
杨澜:主席先生,女士们,先生们,下午好!在向各位介绍我们的安排之前,我想先告诉大家,你们2008年将在北京渡过愉快的时光。北京是一座充满活力的现代都市,三千年的历史文化与都市的繁荣相呼应,除了紫禁城、天坛和万里长城这几个标志性的建筑,北京拥有无数的戏院、博物馆,各种各样的餐厅和歌舞场所,这一切的一切都会令您感到惊奇和高兴。我相信在座的许多人都曾为李安的奥斯卡获奖影片《卧虎藏龙》所吸引,这仅仅是我们文化的一小部分,还有众多的文化宝藏等待着你们去挖掘。除此之外,北京城里还有千千万万友善的人民,热爱与世界各地的人民相处,无论是过去还是现在,北京历来是各个民族和各种文化的汇集地,北京人民相信,在北京举办2008年奥运会,将推动我们文化和全世界文化的交流。在我们的计划当中,教育和交流将是我们的希望,我们期待在全国尤其是数百万青少年中,留下一笔精神财富。从2005年到2008年我们每年定期举办文化活动,我们将开展多元文化活动,举办世界青少年和表演家参加的音乐会,这些文化活动同时在奥运村和全市范围内展开,以方便运动员的参加。
我们的开闭幕式,将是展现中国杰出作家、导演和作曲家的舞台,讴歌人类的共同理想,以及我们独特的奥林匹克运动。基于丝绸之路带来的灵感,我们的火炬接力,将途经希腊、埃及、罗马、美索布达米亚,波斯、印度和中国,以共享和平、共享奥运为主题,“奥运”这一永恒不惜的火炬,将跨越世界最高峰——珠穆朗玛峰,从而达到最高的高度,中国的奥运圣活将通过西藏,穿过长江和黄河,踏上长城,途经香港、澳门、台湾,在组成我们国家的56个民族中传递。通过这样的路线,我们保证目睹这次火炬接力的人们,会比任何一次都多。 700年前,马可波罗曾对中国的美丽有过惊奇的描述。有人问马可波罗,你的有关中国的描述是真的吗?他说,我只不过将我所见到的跟你们描述了一半而已。女士们,先生们,我相信北京和中国将向运动员、观众和全世界的电视观众证明,这是一
块神奇的土地。谢谢主席先生,谢谢大家!

Mr. President,
Dear Colleagues,
No matter which decision you make today, it will be recorded in history. However one decision will certainly serve to make history. With your decision here today, you can move the world and China toward an embrace of friendship through sport that
will benefit all mankind.
Almost 50 years ago, I took part in the Olympic Games for the first time; it was in Helsinki. Since then, I have become deeply attached to the Olympic spirit. And me, like so many of my countrymen, I am convinced that the Olympic values are universal
and the Olympic flame lights up the way of progress for all humanity.
It has been a dream of mine throughout my career to find a way to bring the Olympic Games to China. I, too, want my countrymen and women to experience the eternal
beauty of the Olympic dream in our homeland.
By voting for Beijing, you will bring the Games for the first time in the history of Olympism to a country with one fifth of the world's population and give to this billion people the opportunity to serve the Olympic Movement with creativity and devotion. Dear colleagues, the message you send today may signal the beginning of a new era
of global unity.
If you honor Beijing with the right to host the 2008 Olympic Games, I can assure you, my dear colleagues, that, in seven years from now, Beijing will make you proud of the
decision you make here today.
Thank you.
主席先生、国际奥委会的委员们,
无论你们今天做出什么样的选择,都将载入史册。但是只有一种决定可以创造历史。你们今天这个决定可以通过体育促进世界和中国友好相拥在一起,从而造
福于全人类。
将近50年前,我第一次参加了奥林匹克运动会,那是在赫尔辛基。从那时起我就深深地爱上了奥运精神。和祖国的许多同胞一样,我认为奥林匹克价值理念
具有普遍意义,奥林匹克圣火照亮着人类前进的道路。
在我的生涯中,我一直梦想着将奥运会带来中国,让我的男女同胞在我的祖国
体验奥林匹克理想永恒的魅力。
选择北京,你们将在奥林匹克历史上第一次将奥运会带到拥有世界上五分之一人口的国家,让十亿人民有机会用他们的创造力和奉献精神为奥林匹克运动服
务。
你们所传达的信息也许将意味着一个全球团结新时代的开始。
如果你们把举办2008年奥运会的荣誉授予北京,亲爱的同事们,我可以向你
们保证,7年之后,北京将让你们为今天的决定而自豪。
