Re: [新聞] 美國NBC電視台社論 英文版
翻譯真累啊,還好上午沒什么事情做。隨手翻的,沒有修訂,大家隨便看看吧。發現NB
C這次真是不吝嗇所有的贊美啊。這次的PR做的真是好,讓美國人花了8億多美元自己主
動給中國做形象宣傳。
恩,正如馬拉松賽是奧運會閉幕的事件之一,我們現在將結束我們的廣播馬拉松。超越
那些競爭的表演,每一個奧運會都提供了一個城市和一個國家在一個時間點的快照。這
一個則比大多數更具吸引力,因為中國的崛起和其正在進行的轉型,不僅在現在而可能
在預見的將來都是一個全球性的故事。這些奧運會的故事,是一個仍在進行的故事的里
程碑。而歷史將會告訴我們,奧運會是否向中國提供了不僅僅建立它自身的強大而還要
解決它面對的問題的信心題。這是我們知道的。這是一個廣大的國家,各種各樣生活著
的人民,以及那么豐富和復雜,任何訪問者可以完全掌握的歷史。盡管如此,在這些比
賽中,不需要哪些高級的國際關系就可以欣賞中國人民的真正溫暖,對他們國家真正的
自豪,以及那些中國公民,著名的運動員們,以及日常的男男女女們是如何認真的用這
個機會來向世界展現他們自己。所有的奧運會對主辦城市都是重要的。這次的比賽對于
恰好是1/5人類家園的主辦國是歷史性的重要。
正如所說的,本次奧運會除了具有明顯政治意義外,也有很顯著的(體育)競爭性。北
京能躋身歷史上最令人難忘的奧運會之一。在奧運會開始之前被預期的一個標題現在被
驗證了。在柏林墻倒塌之后第一次,奧運會在北京形成了一個持續的競爭狀態(老米終于
找到對手了)。美國贏得了最多的110面獎牌,是在一個非美國奧運會中最多的。但獎牌
總數第二代中國,輕松的贏得了最多的金牌在這里,是1988年前蘇聯之后所有的國家中
最多。很多中國的勝利比超越了杰出水平。他們的完美和精確,可以看到的簡單的美麗
。中國現在是一個通過精密的舉國體系支持的體育強國。他們將在倫敦或之后的奧運會
處于或接近獎牌榜的頂端。美國也有許多可以歡呼的。沙灘排球的包攬柳金和肖恩贏得
金牌和觀眾的心,男籃做了他們應該做的-贏球,是的-但這挽救并重新詮釋了美國隊的
印象和目標。這次奧達到了多重的漸強音。一開始有現在躋身非常奧林匹亞隊有史以來
最偉大運動員的菲爾普斯,他同樣成為了最好最流行的當代頂級運動員中聞所未聞的游
泳選手。直到恰好菲爾普斯離開泳池,一架牙買加的噴氣式飛機在跑道的上方陡然升起
。那目不暇接的沖刺速度是如此令人驚訝,競爭對手只能像觀眾一樣驚嘆于世界上和史
上最快的男子。比以往更多的國家-204-參加在這次奧運會。更獲得獎牌的國家同樣比以
往更多,有87個。但是超越領獎臺之上,奧運會仍然是一個人類的全景,它包括那些只
有選手和他們家人、朋友和國人欣賞的只完成比賽或者第一輪淘汰的選手的個人的史詩
。
這場奧運開始于張藝謀的驚人的開幕典禮,通過異常大膽的構思和出色的執行,它訂出
一個以后不太可能達到標準。而今晚,隨著那些更戲劇化的表演,帷幕拉拉下來。世界
各國人民來到北京,中國人民伸出了雙手。您不需要說一句普通話就可以了解這些。
我很幸運能參與許多難忘的奧運會,而且在許多方面,這一直是最難忘的。不能忽視的
是那些不知疲勞地工作的來將這些比賽畫面送到您家的人們。對于這些同事,我將總帶
著工作上的尊敬和個人的感謝。這些男士女士的名字陪同這最后的中國和奧運的蒙太奇
的畫面送上,我們希望這些畫面能讓您和我們一樣感受到共鳴。最后一次來自中國的晚
安。
※ 引述《newline (漫長的等待與相遇)》之銘言:
: Well, just as the marathon was one of the concluding events of the Olympic
: Games, we are now bringing our broadcast marathon to a close. Beyond the
: competitive drama, every Olympics provides a snapshot of a city and a
: country at a point in time. This one was more compelling than most, since
: China's rise and its ongoing transformation is the global story, not only of
: the moment, but likely of the foreseeable future. These Olympics were a
: milestone in that still unfolding story. And while history will tell us
: whether or not the Olympics provided China with the confidence to not only
: build on its considerable strengths, but also to address its considerable
: problems. This much we know.This is a country so vast, a people with lives
: so varied and a history so rich and complex that no visitor can fully grasp
: it. Still, of these Games, no advanced degree in international relations
: was required to appreciate the genuine warmth of the Chinese people, the
: honest pride in their country and how seriously Chinese citizens, famous
: Olympians, to everyday men and women, took this chance to show themselves to
: the world.All Olympics are important to the host city. These Games were
: monumentally important to the host nation, which happens to be home to 1/5
: of humanity. All that said, just as these Olympics were significant
: politically, they were also very significant competitively. Beijing turned
: out to be among the most memorable Olympics ever.One headline was
: anticipated before the Games began, and then verified here. For the first
: time since the fall of the Berlin Wall, an ongoing Olympic rivalry shapes up
: . In Beijing, the U.S. won 110 medals-the most it's ever won at a non-
: American Olympics. But China, second in the overall count, easily won the
: most golds here, and the most by any country since the old Soviet Union in
: 1988. Many of China's triumphs went beyond excellence. Their perfection and
: precision, simply beautiful to behold. China is now a sports power with a
: sophisticated state-supported sports system. They will be at or near the top
: of the medal list at London and beyond.Meanwhile, the Americans had plenty
: to cheer about. Beach volleyball pairs both prevailing, Nastia Liukin and
: Shawn Johnson winning gold and winning hearts, the men's basketball team
: doing exactly what they set out to do-winning, yes-but also redeem and
: redefine the image and purpose of the U.S. program.These Games reached
: multiple crescendos. From the beginning, there was Michael Phelps, who now
: ranks among the very greatest Olympians ever and who is also now in the top
: tier of the best and most popular contemporary athletes in any sport-unheard
: of for a swimmer, until Phelps.Just about the time Phelps left the pool, a
: Jamaican jet zoomed over the track. The sprints are supposed to be decided
: by blinks of an eye, not by bolts of speed so astonishing that, like the
: spectators, the competitors can only marvel at the world's-- and history's--
: fastest man. More nations, 204, participated here than in any Games before.
: And more won medals, 87, than ever before as well.But beyond the medal
: podium, the Olympics remain a human panorama, with many also-- ran finishes
: and first-round eliminations, nonetheless representing epic personal stories
: , only appreciated by the participants themselves and their families,
: friends and countrymen.Theses Games began with Zhang Yimou's stunning
: Opening Ceremony, so boldly conceived and brilliantly executed, that it set
: a standard for such occasions unlikely to be equaled. And tonight, with more
: theatrical touches, the curtain came down. So the people of the world came
: to Beijing, and the people of China extended their hands. You don't have to
: speak a word of Mandarin to understand that.I've been fortunate to be
: involved with many memorable Olympics, and in many ways, this has been the
: most memorable. In no small part, due to the efforts of the small army of
: people who worked tirelessly to bring these Games home to you. For these
: colleagues, I will always have enormous professional regard and personal
: gratitude.The names of these talented men and women accompany this final
: montage of the images of China and Olympic moments-moments we hope resonate
: with you as they have with us. Good night, this one last time, from China.
