七年前,只差两票,世纪盛会与北京擦肩而过,悉尼留给中国人的,除了向往,还有惆怅。七年后的今天,我们再次向奥林匹克张开双臂,表达十二亿中国人的热情。我们为申奥祝福。但我们最希望看到的,是奥林匹克精神的绽放:重要的在于参与。我们为北京祝福。但我们最希望看到的,是北京蓝得炫目的天、绿得悦目的地。 Seven years ago, it was only two votes away. The event of the century saw Beijing pass by. The people Sydney left for China were, apart from their longing for success, their melancholy. Today, seven years later, we once again open our arms to the Olympic Games and express the enthusiasm of the 1.2 billion Chinese people. We are blessing for the bidding. But what we want most to see is the blooming of the Olympic spirit: what matters lies in its participation. We bless Beijing. But what we most want to see is that Beijing Blue has a dazzling day and a beautiful green destination.
