    引用一个网友的话说,伦敦八分钟之前我以为英国实在欧洲,之后我怀疑是不是在欧洲。如果说开幕式过于奢华浪费,哪么这个200万英镑预算的八分钟是不是英镑变卢布了,钱都花在那里了。当然也有很多精英们号称看懂了,并且被这个表演感动了,我深表佩服。但我很好奇,如果中国号称花了2000W人民币搞8分钟。出现的是:
  一辆公交车开过来,一群骑自行车的,一堆人车来了不排队,报纸乱扔,把残疾人挤一边去。汉族小女孩踩着少数民族的背上车,李宇春和崔健献唱,姚明把一个篮球扔出去,最后车开走了,精英们会怎么解读?坦率的说,精英们总是双重标准。

    说说几个印象深刻的情节吧,如同生化危机般向巴士涌上去的僵尸,彻底把我搞败,如果真的一定要表现什么,那也不用非得摆出这样的造型吧,跟僵尸一般。等巴士的时候,手中报纸乱扔...这个。贝克汉姆的角色太让我吃惊,搞的他象某种珍贵稀有动物一样,放在橱窗里亮个相。似乎英国人想表达这个意思,“你们看啊,我们有这个,有这个啊,贝克汉姆啊!!”

   The closing ceremony was just fine apart from the British bit which was simply atrocious!
  Why did we have some prehistoric rock guitarist and a talent show winner miming to some abysmal sound track? What has David Beckham got to do with the Olympics? Hardly portrays a young, vibrant and exciting vision of what the 2012 games might offer.
  If this is an example of how good London's Olympics is going to be, then perhaps Boris should ask the Chinese to keep the Olympic flame in Beijing.

  这哥们最后说,‘如果伦敦奥运会将来就是这样,还不如叫中国人继续留着旗子呢!’

另外这个会徽花费20万英镑,来欣赏一下

A beautifully organised Games all around, then Boris appears, jacket undone, looking like a drunk who gatecrashed the party, what an embarrassment

一个组织有序的美丽的运动会,然后Boris(伦敦市长)出现了,衣冠不整像个酒鬼一样冲进了派对多么令人羞耻啊!!!!

Replicate it, we don’t have a chance it hell. For one thing we’ll be lucky to find 1% of the volunteers from Beijing. Perhaps all the people claiming on benefits should be forced to volunteer !!!  Smith, London

复制它,我们根本没TMD机会.其中一点如果我们走运的话我们能找到相当北京1%的志愿者.可能所有人都在抢夺本该属于志愿者的利益.

Oh my the Chinese will be a hard act to follow. What a shambles the British effort was, very embarrassing indeed. A double decker bus, beckham, an xfactor winner, a sweaty aging rock star, dancers with umbrellas throwng newspapers everywhere. I guess a good symbol of modern day Britain. I fear our efforts will always be second class to China. This might show new labour off for what they are and what they have done to our once great country

天啊,中国人的表演将是很难去学习,英国的表现是这么的丢脸,丢脸之极。一辆双层公交,贝克汉姆,一个选秀赢家,一个老摇滚明星,一群舞者拿这雨伞乱丢报纸,我猜这就是现代伦敦的标志。我恐怕我们的表现对比中国来说永远只能是二等……

The dancing was a bit straggly in the " London " routine . After seeing all the cyclists taking part,the Chinese will think "Nobody can afford cars in London "伦敦的例行表演中登场的那些舞者简直就是群魔乱舞。眼看着那些骑着自行车的家伙也来凑热闹,中国人都会认为“伦敦人都买不起车啦”

The British "teaser" was ok, but we were disappointed to see the performer in the wheelchair was not in fact disabled but was leaping around later in the dance.英国人还不赖,不过当我们发现那位坐轮椅的表演者根本不是残疾的时候--他在稍后的舞蹈中到处蹦达来着 --- 好失望呀么好失望。

Did anyone else this the 'London 8 minutes' presentation was - dare I say it - rubbish!? Leona sang her heart out on top of a ladder, on top of a bus whilst 20 contemporary dancers did their stuff way below. It was just so low key relative to what had gone on before it.这儿还有没有人也觉得这次“伦敦8分钟”表演根本就是--恕我直言--垃圾!?Leona站在那巴士顶上的高架子上唱歌,简直把她的小心肝都给吓破了;同时还有那20来个家伙在底下伴舞。跟之前的那些表演相比,真是够丢分的了。

But oh, our offering at the closing ceremony was embarrassing.A red bus,a pop singer, an ageing rocker and an overpaid ball kicker was awful. Where was our great Island heritage portrayed in all this flummery?哦,我们在闭幕式上的表现真丢脸。一辆红吧是,一个流行歌手,一个摇滚老头,还有个我们付了太多薪水给他的踢球的家伙 -- 这一切都太糟糕了。在这堆乱七八糟的糟粕里头,我们这个伟大岛屿的传承却无处可见。

And why can't Boris button his jacket? Too fat or bad tailoring?

这句话是说他们市长的:为什么Boris上衣的扣子不扣起来?他太胖了还是衣服剪裁不合适?

I've just watched the Olympic closing ceremony, and as I feared, Britain's contribution was embarassing and totally pathetic - I just hope they manage to do better in 2012. It will obviously be impossible to rival the spectacular pageant that Beijing provided, but I thought the dancing (if you can call that dancing) and the Leona Lewis/Jimmy Page effort was just pitiful. Hopefully, we can ditch all this government inspired 'Cool Britannia' garbage and present something a bit more slick and professional.

刚看了闭幕式,跟我担心的一样,英国的表现真丢人而且完全令人失望,我只希望他们2012年能搞好点儿。很明显我们没法跟北京搞出的壮观场面好点,但我想那些舞蹈(如果你管那个叫舞蹈)和俩歌手的表演都很令人遗憾。希望我们能够摆脱政府提倡的那些“酷酷的大不列颠”的垃圾,展现一些更专业和娴熟的东西?

I agree that Adrian Childs was poor: he seemed to think that he was on the One Show.The London Bus routine was pretty much rubbish ... the music was poor and everything smacked of pop culture. Period.The Games themselves were superbly run. The BBC was teetering on the brink of overblown nationalism, however.

我也觉得Adrian Childs很可怜,他看上去以为自己是在个人秀。。伦敦巴士的演出特别垃圾,音乐很糟糕,所有一切都带着流行文化时代的味道。运动会本身搞得非常好,但 bbc有过分的民族主义之嫌(是嫌bbc吹捧英国运动员太厉害?)

I'm staying in Singapore and feel embarrassed to go to work tomorrow after that dreadful showing by London 2012.

我住在新加坡,在伦敦2012年可怕的表演过后我明天去工作的时候会感觉很尴尬。

I live in Germany and, like the person from Singapore, will be ashamed to meet my friends tomorrow.

我住在德国,就像那个住新加坡人说的,明天去见朋友的时候会变的很丢脸。

Jimmy Page and David Beckham have been massive icons of British popular culture. I'm not especially a fan of either, but they perfectly suited to the ceremony.Not bothered either way about Leona whatshername, but the chief embarrassment, reducing us instantly to laughing stock of the world and diminishing at a stroke the achievements of our athletes, was the presence of Boris Bloody Johnson!!! This man symbolizes everything wrong with Britain - a deeply untalented buffoon, with a thoroughly sinister interior. Get him off the stage once and for all.

Jimmy Page和贝壳都是英国流行文化的重大标志。我并不是他们的粉丝,但他们很适合这个演出。那个叫Leona啥啥的演出我也不觉得糟(就是那个独唱的 mm),但是最大的丢人之处,直接把我们埋汰成全世界的笑料并且抹杀了我们的运动员取得的成绩的,就是那个虾米Boris Johnson(伦敦那个混混市长)的出现!这家伙象征着英国所有糟糕的东西----一个完全没有天赋的小丑,内心丑恶。把他永远逐出舞台吧!

When I heard about the plans for the London presentation, including the "arrangement" of the national anthem and the rehashed 70s rock music, I thought "it can't possibly be as bad as I'm imagining it". Well, it wasn't. It was a thousand, toe-curlingly hideous times worse. Against the dignity, seriousness and power of the Chinese displays, it was so far beyond embarrassing, my brain has already almost forgotten it, in a desperate paroxysm of self-defence.

当我听到伦敦发表的计划,包括“安排的”国歌和70年代的摇滚歌曲,我想这不可能比我想象的还要糟糕,好了,它不是,它是千万倍的更加糟糕。对比尊严的,严肃的和力量的中国表演,它比丢脸还要丢脸,在绝望的自我保护状态下,我的大脑已经将它忘记。

omg, I hope our eight minutes during the closing ceremony is not a foretaste of the tackiness to come in four years time. "It felt a lot longer than eight minutes..... Every cringe and every gasp of horror made it feel like a lifetime!If that is all we have to offer, lets hope the rest of the world has popped out down the pub when we take centre stage. Our athletes deserve much better than this, they did us proud in Beijing (lets not forget the Paralympics too) and will continue to do so.

饿滴神,我希望闭幕式这8分钟不是预示着四年之后我们要展示出来的东西。这个感觉不止8分钟,希望我们跑上台去表演的时候世界上其他人都跑出去泡吧了……(哈哈)我们的运动员值得比这个好得多的东西,他们为我们在北京赢得了骄傲(别忘了还有残奥会)并且会继续这样做。

Now, 2012... where can I go to avoid it all? Please can I move to China?

现在,2012--跑到哪里我可以完全的避开它?请问我能搬到中国去吗?

I have been glued to the Olympics constantly and very proud of Team GB but my god what on earth was that 8 minute section in the closing ceremony.The chinese put on a fantastic show and we have basically a red bus and a sparkler.Who ever put this together should be sacked before we are embarressed anymore.By the way BBC should be given a gold medal for the coverage, first class.

我一直迷着奥运会,也很为英国队的表现骄傲,可是饿滴神啊,闭幕式的8分钟到底在干啥啊!中国人的表演非常令人着迷,可我们就只有一辆红巴士和一些发光物(是指巴士变形后出来的绿哇哇的东西咩?)把这些东西搞到一起去的人应该被炒鱿鱼,在我们继续丢人之前。ps:bbc的报道应该给颁一块金牌,一流的。

I have a Grandson living and working in Beijing and I only hope he stays under cover until the humilation dies down a little. It certainly will never go away. In 8 mins we have become the laughing stock of the world.

我有一个孙子生活和工作在北京,我只希望他在这丢人的气氛减小前藏好自己。它肯定永远不会消失。在这8分钟,我们已成为世界笑柄。

Leona! Poor girls must be so nervous!---- She sounds like a whale mating I didn't think it was possibly but this both sucks and blows. Grow up London 2012 and stop trying to be so 'cool'. This is embarrassing.  

---- 利昂娜!可怜的姑娘们很紧张吧!---- 她听起来像是只正在交配的鲸鱼我都不忍心这么说,但是这个的确是又SB又NC成熟点,London 2012,别那么装酷。真丢人。

Funny how the Beijing Olympics had absolutely nothing to do with Beijing. They were all about China. But the London Olympics are apparently all about London.

有趣的是,北京奥运和北京没什么太大关系,而是关于整个中国。但是伦敦奥运很明显只和伦敦有关。

Is anyone else finding this all a bit shabby after the chinese dancing etc

大家有没有发现,在中国的舞蹈等等后面出场,他们显得多么寒酸啊。

The Chinese did it again the closing was amazing. First class and out of this world. The one negative was the London Show what in the heck was that. In Athens when the Chinese did there welccome to show it was amazing and you knew you where going to get something special in Beijing. I hope that London does better than what they showed to-day.

中国人又让他们的闭幕式(和开幕式一样)一样NB,世界一流甚至超越世界!唯一让人不爽恶心呕吐的是伦敦的8分钟。在雅典闭幕式的时候,中国人华丽滴欢迎表演,就让人知道北京会展现出他的特别之处。我希望伦敦会比我们今天所看到的做得好些。
