经过了昨晚精美绝伦的开幕式，我刚才看到ABC是这样报导的：

Fireworks top spectacular opening ceremony
ABC - August 9, 2008, 8:58 am

The Olympic Games are underway in Beijing after an opening ceremony that featured thousands of drummers, floating Olympic rings and a glowing globe around which ran runners who seemed to defy gravity.

The ceremony culminated in the cauldron being lit by Chinese gymnastics champion and sportswear businessman Li Ning, who was suspended from, and appeared to run around, the roof of the National Stadium in Beijing.

More than 90,000 people were in the stands to watch the ceremony that launched the 29th Olympic Games.

China's President Hu Jintao declared the games officially open, after an invitation from the head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Jacques Rogge.

Mr Rogge acknowledged that China had for years dreamed of hosting the Games.

"Tonight, that dream comes true," he said. "Congratulations, Beijing!"

Thousands of athletes marched into the National Stadium, known popularly as 'the bird's nest', to witness the official opening.

Australia was among the last of the teams to enter the stadium, arriving before Zambia and host nation China.

Six-time Olympian James Tomkins led more than 200 Australian athletes into the stadium as flag bearer.

China's team of more than 600 competitors was last to enter the stadium to huge cheers from the crowd.

Basketballer Yao Ming led the team alongside Lin Hao, a primary school student from the quake-devastated Sichuan province.

Mr Rogge said the focus should now be on sport.

"I say to the athletes, 'These games were created for you'," he said.

"'These games belong to you. Let them be the athletes' Games - have fun.'"

But the IOC chief said that enjoyment of the competition also comes with responsibility, and called on athletes to reject doping and cheating.

"Remember that you are role models for the youth of the world," he said.

"Make us proud of your achievements and conduct."

China has spent about $40 billion to host the games in an event seen by some observers as a 'coming out' party for the communist nation.

Much of last night's ceremony was devoted to highlighting China's history and culture and its role in the development of technologies like gunpowder and writing.

But more controversial aspects of Chinese history, such as the Cultural Revolution and its invasion by Japan, were left out along with overt references to Communism or its Chinese founders.

Organisers have labelled the ceremony a big success.

Ceremony director Zhang Yimou says he feels he has done his job.

"We have one target, one goal - that is to show the world an excellent opening ceremony; we have done that," he said.

"For our team, it is a very memorable day for us. After many years of hard effort, we know this ceremony is a full success."

Despite forecasts of rain, the weather remained dry although humid and overcast throughout the ceremony.

A heavy mist that had hung over Beijing for much of the day had cleared slightly by the evening, which culminated in a spectacular display of fireworks.

In Beijing, spectators gathered to watch the ceremony on large outdoor screen, cheering at times and booing at others.

When the national teams walked in, most were cheered, but when United States President George Bush appeared on camera, the crowd booed.

On the other hand, they cheered Russian leader Vladimir Putin and went awkwardly quiet when France's Nicolas Sarkozy stood up.

Then the Chinese team entered the stadium and everyone stood up cheering and chanting.

Elsewhere, spectators clashed with the authorities when guards tried to stop them getting into Tiananmen Square to watch the fireworks.

abc想怎样
在开幕式大骂日本曾经侵略过中国？
搞笑嘛。

camugl

难道悉尼奥运开幕式上，也应该展示一下“偷走一代人”的手法？我真不知道这个作者是怎么说话的。

camugl

国内仇日的情绪本来就已经很高，难道作者希望在开幕式里加入日军侵华的部分，然后让同仇敌忾的中国人对日本代表团来一“南京大屠杀”不成？这个人真是脑子进水了。

黑山老妖

不要理他，这家伙是妒嫉。

我倒觉得7的评价很高嘛
是不是因为他们有转播权，所以。。。？

刚才看到这篇文章已经从yahoo的首页上给换掉了，但是放狗可以在ABC自己的网站找到这篇报导。

typical sour grapes

有些columnist总是要跳出来表演一下的

现在的标题居然是   - success 引了一下
Opening ceremony hailed as 'success'

有这么说话的吗？整个一个弱智！

...which ran runners who seemed to defy gravity 好像是很别扭的动作
...a primary school student from the quake-devastated Sichuan province强调了一下地震，但只字未提这个小朋友做了什么
...China has spent about $40 billion to host the games in an event seen by some observers as a 'coming out' party for the communist nation.不忘强调一下节目办得好是因为花了很多钱，再顺便把GCD拖下水（难道他们不是往好了办？），那些OBSERVER又是谁呢？
...Despite forecasts of rain, the weather remained dry although humid and overcast throughout the ceremony要求真高呀！
...In Beijing, spectators gathered to watch the ceremony on large outdoor screen, cheering at times and booing at others.我怎么没感觉到谁BOOING了？耳朵真好！
...When the national teams walked in, most were cheered, but when United States President George Bush appeared on camera, the crowd booed.再赞一个，听力超好！
...Elsewhere, spectators clashed with the authorities when guards tried to stop them getting into Tiananmen Square to watch the fireworks.真难为他，大家都在享受盛会，他们却挖空心思找阴暗面，还找的如此牵强附会，心态是何等的扭曲呀！

这个记者不一定是7台的。是源自ABC的报导。

7台昨晚的解说，除了开了一个满地找隐形眼镜的不好笑的笑话和对所有了解不深的东西冠之以thousands of years来含糊其词之外，还算过得去，最后的结尾是用unforgetable一词，我感觉是不功不过，比较中性的

小声说一个：那些boo和cheer，我也听到了。不过我觉得挺好的。每个人都有喜憎，这来自人民自发的声音，让那些被boo的国家好好听听吧。

和一些国家对中国不断苛责的批评比，昨天的boo声已经是很温和的了。西方不是倡导民主么，听听吧，这就是民主的声音。

某些人对我们精彩的开幕式表演没有任何正面评价，反倒在文章结尾重点突出一下什么我们对美国法国不友好，什么天安门冲突，真是太会在鸡蛋里挑骨头了。 真让人无语。。。。

避重就轻，这个报导的立场很不客观。

今早ABC电台的报道提到一句,这届开幕典礼做得如此经典,四年后的LONDON该如何超越?我觉得这是最好的赞美.昨7台的解说也是很好的,很中立.

suefish

至少比前几届的开幕式都新颖多了，昨天看了以后，很为自己的祖国骄傲

jlv2

昨天7台的解说员在大部分时间沉默后来了一句 once againe。。。 the paper。。。我晕 应该找一个懂点中国文化的人在边点拨一下啊 那解说员估计都困的不行了

camugl

还有很多次当中国人发言，或是用中文唱歌时，7台的字幕显示：“Asian luanguage”.

难道他们就不能用脚趾头想想，应该是“Chinese”好不好？！晕！

camugl

还有当中国奥运筹办主席致词的时候，还没有讲到的地方，7台的解说员就已经提前翻译成英文了，这点7台做的很不专业，这么大的一个转播活动，哪怕临时聘请一个稍微懂点中文的人，在旁边稍微咨询一下，这些瑕疵就可以避免了。

风玲

既然西方文化凡事都是讲究要respect，那么某些人至少应该respect other people's effort。而不是专心致志去挑毛病。。。
我觉得很骄傲，感觉我们的开幕式非常高科技，显示出我们目前在科技方面的实力。
今早看到欧洲某个台的新闻回放开幕式，两个窗口，旁边是以前的一个开幕式，我猜是希腊的吧，感觉简直不在一个档次上～～～～:)
但是我们的发展恐怕是某些人不想看到和承认的。。。
