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.–

2001年夏， 北京申办奥运， 我在新东方K GRE. 结果揭晓那晚， 和两个朋友在北航对面’信息产业部的宾馆里看直播. 公布那一刻， 楼下有人扛着国旗就冲出去了… 电视里的首都万众欢腾….
我么？ 洗洗睡了….
那时一个阿姨对我兴奋地说：“你学的就是外语， 2008年的你风华正茂，可不正该为奥运会工作的大好时候？”，躺在床上的听者正塞着R.E.M的歌， 瞪着天花板，心中懵懵，居然无言以对 — 8年太远 天知道我会在哪游荡…
出国前， 老板使出" 驴前吊萝卜"之招， 说08奥运正要靠我大展拳脚。 我去意已决， 只是暗自想着： 希望来得及..
忽而八年， 忽而今夏，身陷囹圄， 唯有隔岸观“火”， 唯有Bless， bless^&cheer for the Beijing Olympics.
今天在外面好几次听到路人在说如何看直播， 各电视台也报道华裔群体把奥运当作喜庆之事在庆祝 ，老米打算今天结婚人数增加了200%….
开幕式估计看不了， 要早起作同传去….早知道不接这个活儿=—=
P.S.强烈盛赞直接为奥运会奉献许久的“民族英雄”BRUNO同学， 还有所有辛苦的同行IN THIS Banquet & Battlefield .
& 放弃LD ， 虽然还有点自虐神经质ing， anyways, move on & will see.
