传统的奥运开幕式出场次序是按国家的英文拼音， 由于这次主办国中国改为按照国家中文名字的笔划来排序， 这令到本来是第三位出场的Australia 变成第203位的澳大利亚， 只排在Zambia和主办国中国之前  估计会是澳洲当地时间午夜， 有奥运直播权的7号电视台大为不满

TELEVISION viewers will have to stay up well after midnight to see athletes in green and gold march in the Olympic opening ceremony after China relegated Australia from the start of the parade of nations to the end.
The shift from the traditional system of using the first letter of each nation to dictate the order for the parade also means that many athletes may pull out of the opening ceremony rather than be forced to stand around for hours in a holding pen in Beijing's heat, humidity and smog before being allowed to march into the stadium, The Australian reports.
Australian Olympic officials and angry Network Seven host broadcast staff were informed that under the Chinese system, Australia would rank number 203 of the 205 nations in the parade of nations for the opening ceremony, which starts at 8pm on August 8.
Rather than be third, Australia would be third last with only Zambia and host nation China following.
The host nation traditionally marches last, but the order of the other nations in Beijing was being dictated by the number of Chinese strokes in the first syllable of each nation in Mandarin.
Australia is pronounced Aodaliya in Mandarin and the character Ao has 14 strokes.
"You have too many strokes so you are almost last," a Mandarin speaker said.
The change has outraged Network Seven as it could hurt audience share, as well as advertising and sponsors. It raised its displeasure to no avail at a meeting of Olympic broadcasters in Beijing last night. |
