  • 中国男孩与西方男孩相比

    2008-10-31




    在中国你常能看到这样的组合：中国女孩挽着西方男孩的胳膊，但你很少看到西方女孩挽着中国男孩在一起走的情景。为什么？我也不太确定。但是我能猜测出下面几个原因：

    1.许多西方女孩的身材比较高大。和中国男孩相比，她们显得很“魁梧”。女孩讨厌比男孩高大的那种感受，而男孩也讨厌那种比女孩娇小的感觉。

    2.文化差异。西方女孩非常独立，她们会要求与男分担家务。但在中国，女性被认为是家务承担者，男人完全可以坐视不管。我很难想象西方女孩该怎样融入到这种文化当中，至少我不会这么做。

    3.语言沟通障碍。

    4.缺乏相互的吸引。第一次来中国时，我一直在想：“我绝对不会觉得亚洲人漂亮……他们不是我想要的那种类型……”但是现在，我不得不承认自己在街上发现了好多特有魅力的亚洲男士(中国人、韩国人、日本人等)。

    我想这和审美习惯有关。刚来中国时，你会觉得所有人都有着相同的面貌(同样，我的许多中国也觉得西方人模样相似)。过了一段时间后，我的眼睛能区分不同的人了。又过了8～12个月，我的视线里帅小伙突然多了起来。最有趣的是，当我指着一位帅哥，向刚来旅游的瑞典介绍时，她们则直皱眉头。

    难道是眼睛的审美需要有个过渡吗？我实在想不出其他原因，我只知道亚洲男孩子的确很迷人。今年1月份，我和去韩国首尔旅行，韩国男孩的面容、服装看上去很帅(虽然对我来说，仅仅帅还不足以和我约会，趣味相投才是关键)。

    总体来说，我觉得中国男孩与西方男孩相比，阳刚不足、温柔有余。甚至还有中国男孩拎着像女人手提包似的东西(当然，有男孩为女拎包的情况，不可混为一谈)。西方男孩从不会这么做。

    同样，有些中国男孩还留长指甲，我绝不能忍受自己的男这样做。另外，好多中国男孩竟然穿紧身裤，而且他们选择衣服的色彩过于艳丽。我同时还感受到，中国男孩比西方男孩更多愁善感。我的意思是，你听到过西方男孩在大街上唱《泰坦尼克号》的主题曲《我心永恒》吗？

  • 李小龙的武术哲学

    2008-10-30













    巧

    　武学的精髓是意在拳先，无欲则刚，收发自如，随心所欲，才能出奇制胜，制敌机先。
    博击绝不因你是不同的派别，无论是功夫，学空手道、柔道或其他的而有所不同。

    　　截拳道面对的是实际，而非徒然的形式。也就是以无形为形。

    　　无所停留意谓着所有事物其终极源流是人所无法理解，也非时空所可局限的。

    　　一个无所根本的搏击者不可再谓之是真正的自我，他的移动一似机械人。他使自我受外在的影响；埋葬其独立的意识。而其独立意识是其迄今所从未知觉过的。

    　　自我的表达是无法以形式化的练习来完成的。而形式的练习都是表达的一部份。无形的形并非意谓着无形。无形之形系由形进化至更高深更完美的自我表达的境界。

  • 震惊于中国的三聚氰胺事件

    2008-9-26

    早上起来用含致癌物质的牙膏刷完牙，再喝一杯碘含量过多、被三聚氰胺污染的过期牛奶。午餐就吃放了苏丹红的鸡蛋，再吃避孕药饲料养大的鳝鱼和喷洒DDT的白菜。晚饭就吃病死猪做的菜。多么美好的一天！」－－。

    这是发布于中国某个网络社区的帖子，标题叫做“美好的一天”。路透社20日介绍这篇文章说，“中国人对食品安全问题感到厌恶，在网络上发布辛辣的讽刺文章，吐露胸中积郁的愤怒”

    特别是当用于制造塑料的毒性化学物质三聚氰胺（C3H6N6）被混入牛奶、导致4名婴幼儿死于肾脏疾病的事件爆发后，中国人完全陷入了恐慌。胡锦涛主席当日对党政干部训示说：“对生命负责的安全意识过于麻痹！”

    三聚氰胺事件在韩国也导致过去的悬案浮出水面。农林水产部于18日宣布说：“今年没有从中国输 入奶粉、冰激凌等奶制品”，让韩国国民安心。但第二天也就是19日就有报导说“国内养殖场使用的鱼饲料被检测出含有三聚氰胺”。这种饲料养殖出来的鲶鱼 500吨中的400吨已经出货、流入市场。农食品部对此进行“亲切”说明说：“有毒物质很快就可以排除体外，因此食用这些鲶鱼也不会有大的身体伤害”，但 是听了这种话就能安心的市民，哪里会有呢？

    问题的根本在于，由于国际化的浪潮，我们每日食用的食品也随之国际化了。中国、俄罗斯、泰国、越南……来自世界各国的农产品、水产品已经占领了韩国人的餐桌。

    19日，马来西亚和新加坡下令全面禁止输入中国奶制品，整个亚洲已经集体陷入对中国三聚氰胺的恐怖之中了。同一天，日本的农林水产大臣太田诚一因对中国输入的工业用污染大米被转卖为食品用这一事件负责，表示辞职。

    “食品危机”产生的传染性、破坏性并不低于“金融危机”。跨越国境线的国际食品贸易体系，应当从此确立能够确保“食品安全的”对应机制。应当建立一 种快速预警机制，使得将来不论是海外还是国内，问题发生的时候就能够迅速对应，将危害限制在最小，并立即查清原因。同时，不仅农产品水产品，加工食品和饲 料之类也必须进行彻底的检疫手续。“肚子饿了吗，吃三聚氰胺鱼火锅就好啦，午后的零食嘛，嚼几根老鼠头做的虾条就好啦！”，如果我们不想读到“美好的一天”的这种韩国版本，那么就该行动了。

  • ABOUT DETAILS ON THE MUDSLIDE

    2008-9-16



    You can see more details on the mudslide here, but it's pretty clear that it was caused by sloppy enforcement of mining safety rules, hence the governor's resignation. Optimists might say that this is a sign that the Communist Party is making top officials directly responsible for such disasters. They might point out that Meng's replacement is none other that the recently appointed head of China's deferal work safety supervisory body,showing how seriously Beijing is taking the incident.

  • 萨马兰奇对中国的爱和友谊

    2008-9-08

    国际奥委会名誉主席安东尼奥·萨马兰奇日前在媒体撰文説:“中国人民是一个拥有超强记忆力的民族,他们懂得珍惜患难之交,不会忘记患难时期与自己站在一边的人。正因为如此,在这次北京奥运会上,我才能享受到中国人民的友谊和对我的爱,这是很难用言语表达的情感。30年来我29次访问中国。我从中国收获了爱和友谊,也学会了爱与尊重中国人民。”西班牙《先锋报》4日刊登了这篇题为《我为什么爱中国,尊重中国?》的文章。

    刚刚在北京结束的2008年奥运会所取得的卓越成果和良好的组织工作得到了国际舆论的普遍认可,这也促使我想要与《先锋报》的读者们分享我与中国人民之间结成源远流长的友谊中的点点滴滴。

    当年,我受国王卡洛斯一世的任命在民主过渡时期出任西班牙驻苏联大使。各国外交官之间的接触非常频繁,我曾多次前往中国大使馆位于列宁山的本部。

    当时,国际奥委会与中国开始了有关恢复其地位的谈判。最初的事情是由我的前任基拉宁主席负责的,最终结果是在1979年达成。

    我终于有机会感谢邓小平先生。虽然他个头不高,但却是一位历史伟人。是他的慷慨邀请让我得以在1984年参观了北京天安门广场的毛主席纪念堂。当我得知我和我的妻子是当时惟一受邀参观纪念堂的西方人时,我的惊讶之情可想而知。

    在国际奥委会内部号召承认中国体育在奥林匹克运动中的地位让中国开始渐渐视我为可信赖的朋友。接下来发生的事情可以证明这一点。1984年的洛杉矶奥运会遭到了苏联的抵制。苏联挑动其势力范围内的国家一同抵制这次奥运会,但中国、南斯拉夫和罗马尼亚却抵制了苏联,依然出现在奥运会的赛场上。我至今还记得中国代表团步入洛杉矶纪念体育场时的情景———雷鸣般的掌声对它表示欢迎。洛杉矶见证了中国代表团获得了其奥运历史上第一枚金牌,我也亲自为中国射击运动员许海峰颁发了奖牌。

    中国在第一次参加的奥运会中就获得了32枚奖牌。胜利过后,中国人开始认真地考虑在将来举办一届奥运会的可能。被我看作兄弟的奥委会中国委员何振梁开始积极地投入到北京举办2000年奥运会的申办工作中。中国想要借此来迎接新千年的到来。

    然而,在1993年召开的蒙特卡洛国际奥委会第101次会议上,北京仅以两票之差败给了悉尼。在此之后我依然坚持我的看法,那就是北京不应该放弃继续申办。我有一个坚定的信念:21世纪的奥林匹克运动不能没有伟大的中国,奥林匹克大家庭也不能没有13亿中国人民,因为这将使我们变得更加强大。

    在那些年里,世界见证了中国经济的飞速发展,也见证了这个世界上人口最多的国家是如何跃升为世界大国的过程。终于,江泽民主席告诉我,北京将申办2008年奥运会。

    2001年7月,在莫斯科举行国际奥委会全会后,我就要离任,也正是在这次会议期间国际奥委会作出了两项历史性决定:一是选出了罗格作为我的接替者;二是在第二轮投票中宣布北京为2008年奥运会的举办城市。

    在通往2008年的道路上,等待中国政府的并非一切都是令人愉快的。在7年的筹备工作中,反对人士的阻挠一直都不曾间断过。幸运的是,所有威胁都没有达到目的,北京奥运会的成功举办让这些声音消失了。

    奥运会对中国来说是一个让世界了解其文化的契机,也是让中国人民敞开胸怀自由地与世界人民交流、享受“奥运精神”的机会。奥运会是一个民族的伟大胜利,因为中国政府履行了诺言。因为有上百万志愿者的微笑和热忱服务,北京奥运会赢得了全世界的敬佩。这将是一次很难超越的圆满胜利。

    经济的飞速发展改变了社会结构,出现了新的社会阶层,上千万人的生活水平得到了提高。在中国发生的一切都称得上“巨大”,也让西方人很难理解。

  • 奥运会:英国丰收金牌，法国丰收酸葡萄

    2008-9-01

    France are the latest country to react badly to Great Britain's Olympic success, with a withering comment from their sports minister, Bernard Laporte. The former coach of the France rugby side took a swipe at Britain's strategy in Beijing by saying his country would not focus their resources on "four or five" sports in order to increase their medals haul.

    "We aren't just going to concentrate our means on four or five sports to bring home the medals, like the British have done," he said, alluding to Team GB's golds in cycling, sailing, rowing and swimming - and disregarding the fact that Britain won their 47 medals in 11 different sports.

    Coming after disdain in the Australian media and sarcastic comments from John Coates, the president of the Australian Olympic committee, about British success in the pool and the velodrome, it seems another of Britain's oldest sporting rivals are experiencing a case of sour grapes at Team GB's fourth place in the medals table and 19 golds in China.

    France finished 10th in the Beijing table, with seven golds, but Laporte looked forward to success at the 2012 Games in London and said that "80% of the [French] medallists will still be up for selection in 2012".

    面对英国在奥运会上取得的成功，法国最近反映强烈，法国体育部部长Bernard Laporte恶语中伤。这名前法国橄榄球队教练对英国的北京奥运战略含沙射影，他说法国不会为了增加奖牌数而把资源集中到“四五个”项目当中去。

     

    “我们不会因为增加奖牌数而把所有的资源集中到四五个比赛项目上，英国人才那么做，”他说，以此暗示英国在自行车、帆船、赛艇和游泳比赛中取得的金牌，而对英国在11个不同的项目中所取得的47块奖牌置若罔闻。

     

    对于英国在泳池和室内赛场取得的成功，澳大利亚媒体不屑一顾，澳大利亚奥委会主席John Coates也（对英国）冷嘲热讽。面对英国在北京取得19金、名列金牌榜第四的成绩，貌似英国的的另一个体育宿敌也开始祭出酸葡萄的大旗了。

     

    虽然法国在北京奥运会上以七金名列金牌榜第十，但是Laporte希望法国能在2012年伦敦奥运会上取得成功，并称“80%的（法国）奖牌得主将参加2012年的奥运选拔

    2008-8-29

     

    So, we asked ourselves, what could London possibly do to match the massive spectacle that Beijing put on for the Opening and Closing ceremonies? It couldn't possibly do anything to compare to the sheer scale of the Chinese efforts so (leaving aside the dire business with the double decker bus which I will pass over without further comment), the only answer was that most British of qualities.

    2008-8-28

    Some people have strong personal feelings with respect to making money from their blogs.  If you think commercializing your blog is evil, immoral, unethical, uncool, lame, greedy, obnoxious, or anything along those lines, then don’t commercialize it.

    Affiliate programs like Amazon and LinkShare (commission on products sold, mostly books)
    Advertising sold to individual advertisers (three-month campaigns or longer)
    Note:  If you’re reading this article a while after its original publication date, then this list is likely to change.  I frequently experiment with different streams.

  • Liu Xiang, China's sole track gold medalist

    2008-8-26

     

     

    Liu Xiang, China's sole track gold medalist and national icon who had to pull out of the 110 meters hurdles because of injury, seems to have enjoyed a charmed life and unfailing love from his followers. For millions of Chinese, Liu is the symbol of vitality, individuality, hope, and most importantly, national pride. His handsome face, defiant demeanor and self-confidence speak of a modern China, or how China would like to be seen by the world. For my part, however, I have never been a big fan. In fact, I was growing weary of seeing pictures of him everywhere and particularly his smug smile. He was a was the champion who seemed to bask in the glory of being a superstar, but I wasn't sure there was any more to him than that. Now I know there is. Faced with a tragic moment in his career, under tremendous pressure from a sports system where victory is everything and confronted by disillusioned, bitter former fans filled with righteous rage, Liu showed integrity, tenacity, and grace. At 10pm on the night of August 18th, the day he had to pull out of his qualifying heat, Liu appeared on Chinese television. He was calm, composed and quietly apologetic. "There are so many people supporting me, caring about me, helping me along the way, and I am really sorry," Liu said. He tried to explain what happened on the track but there was little he could say. "I also didn't want to see this happen. I thought of soldiering on, but if I did that, my tendon might have been permanently damaged. I really could not do it. At the moment I couldn't even put my feeling into words." Liu also expressed an admirable optimism about his future. "I know I have the potential, if only I let my injury recover. I won't explain more. I believe I will get better. The main task for me at the moment is to get treatment for my injury. There are other opportunities next year, and years after that. I must think positively. I will not blame the circumstances and I do not give up easily. I will pull myself together. That is who I am." This is who Liu is and his remaining fans, as well as new ones like me, love him for that. Here's the link to the interview:

  • Phelps looking ahead to 2012 London Olympics

    2008-8-25

     

    Phelps, fresh from the Beijing Olympics where he won a record eight gold medals, said he’s never competed in a backstroke event at a major international meet or in the 100-meter freestyle.

    “No breaststroke, no distance swimming, no open water swimming,” Phelps said. “At least those guys will still be my friends.”

    The 23-year-old American also confirmed that the 2012 games will be his last Olympics.

    “I’ve never wanted to go beyond 30,” he said. “I may go a few years beyond the Olympics. I said to my coach, ‘Don’t get any ideas because I don’t want to compete beyond 30,’ and he said, ‘That’s good because I don’t want to coach you past the age of 30.’”

    Phelps has said Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods are the two superstars he’d most like to meet following his exploits in China, and he could be emulating one of them already.

    Woods took time at the pinnacle of his career to remodel his swing to renew his dominance, and Phelps is speaking of completely switching the training program he has followed for the past decade.

    Phelps said the changes suggested by coach Bob Bowman could help rejuvenate him mentally and physically after what he described as the most grueling period of his life.

    “Bob said to me that he’s going to take everything he’s done coaching me and throw it out the door and try something completely different, just to see how it works,” Phelps said. “We’ll try a bunch of new things. If we’re successful, great. If not, we can go back to what we’ve been doing.”

    Only a supremely confident athlete would contemplate moving away from a program that has brought a record 14 Olympic gold medals, an unprecedented eight at one games and the unofficial title of history’s greatest swimmer.

    But “confident” sums up Phelps pretty well.

    Despite arriving in London late Saturday, Phelps posed good-naturedly with one of his medals through 10 minutes of blinding camera flashes—adopting each of the artificial poses requested of him with an easy manner and enthusiasm.

    Phelps said he was enjoying his celebrity status, but deflected suggestions that the rock star treatment could distract him from being as dominant in 2012 as he was in 2008.

    “If you’re having fun, that’s really all that matters,” Phelps said. “You can still do everything and still be successful. You can do anything and everything. One of the biggest things I’ve learned over last four years is that anything’s possible.

    “I’ve had some pretty lofty dreams in my head. Those dreams and those goals are going to stay until they’re accomplished,” Phelps added. “It’s not going to be easy getting there, there are going to be some bumps in the road here and there, but everyone has bumps in the road and it depends how you get over them.”

  • 刘翔仍然是英雄Liu xiang perseverance

    2008-8-20

     
     
     
    BEIJING, Aug. 18 -- Tens of thousands of people had come to glimpse China's megastar hurdler at a mere qualifying heat Monday. The anticipation was so great that, at first, when spectators saw a wincing Liu Xiang pull out of the race, there was only stunned silence.

    Then, after it became clear that Liu was injured, that his hopes for Olympic glory had been ruined, the nation's pain set in abruptly. At a news conference, Liu's coach burst into tears explaining to the international media how his star pupil had been "trying to hold on, exerting himself to his utmost." When Sun Haiping added that Liu could barely stand before the race, despite the assistance of three doctors, Chinese reporters began sobbing as well.

    Tears were followed by anger. Although the general coach of China's athletics team said Liu was forced to drop out because of a recurring problem with his Achilles tendon, droves of fans criticized the hurdler online, accusing the 25-year-old Shanghai native of letting the nation down. He "stained the motherland" by not finishing the heat, some said, adding that he should have crawled on his hands and knees if necessary.

    Liu was China's hope for gold in the 110-meter hurdles, but his failure to qualify for the finals showed that he represented so much more. His gold-medal performance in Athens four years ago had made history in China -- which had never before won gold in a track and field event -- and proved that the Chinese could shine in sports traditionally dominated by the West. On Monday, in a single moment at the Bird's Nest stadium, it was as if the nation's pride and honor had been snatched away.

    Liu's perseverance -- showing up to compete despite the pain -- raised questions about the enormous pressure placed on him by coaches, the public and even the country's leaders. Pictures of him have been splashed across magazines and billboards, his every move followed in the news media.

    The hurdler's disappointment was so great that Xi Jinping, President Hu Jintao's likely successor as Communist Party leader, sent Liu a note of condolence Monday, according to the state-run New China News Agency.

    Beijing seemed to be in mourning, as video clips of the tearful news conference with Liu's coach spread on the Internet. National sports commentators resorted to frenzied hyperbole.

    "At noon, the collective sigh of the Chinese people became a hurricane which attacked Chinese sports heavily in one minute. The whole country lost its breath in that moment," sports commentator Li Tong blogged.

    For decades, China has been known mainly for its skill at "small ball" sports such as table tennis and badminton. Liu had become a symbol of potential in other sports.

    "Yao Ming is just as famous, but nobody expects him to win a gold medal," said Zhang Ming, a professor of international studies at People's University. "Liu Xiang's big breakthrough in track and field is not only for China, but all of East Asia. . . . His win in Athens helped eliminate a deep inferiority complex in Chinese people's hearts."

    Liu himself wanted badly to run on Monday, his coaches said, but his face was contorted in pain even while he was warming up. After the race, he could be seen on stadium screens limping off the field, down a tunnel and into an empty area, where he sat down with his back against the wall, his head in his hands, alone.

    "Liu Xiang will not withdraw unless the pain is intolerable, unless he has no other way out," said Feng Shuyong, general coach of China's athletics team and president of the Chinese track federation.

    Xi's official telegraph to China's General Administration of Sport conveyed his sympathy and "warm courage" to Liu and his tearful coach and expressed hope that Liu would rest easily. "When he recovers," Xi added, "he should continue to train hard, strengthen his fighting spirit and gain bigger honors for the motherland."

    Liu had suffered a hamstring injury in May that forced him to pull out of a race in New York. But no one realized he had such a serious injury to the Achilles tendon, sports commentator Li said in a telephone interview. Many Chinese, rather than feeling sympathetic toward Liu, felt cheated by him.

    "It is very difficult for Chinese people to change their ideas about sports or to become more rational in a short time," Li said.

    Many fans were upset that Liu's injury had not been made public earlier. Others virtually cast him off, noting that China already has more gold medals than any other nation at the Games.

    "To be frank, we don't need a gold medal from you," said one critic from the southern city of Guangzhou, addressing Liu online at http://www.163.com, a popular news site.

    Outside the Bird's Nest, people were shocked and disappointed but more sympathetic than those online. "I totally understand his injury," said He Chunxian, 32, a sports teacher. "What he achieved would have been almost unimaginable when I was training for track and field. If I were Liu, I'd rather give away millions to not compete in this game. I cannot imagine the pressure."

    Li Bo, 50, a retired factory worker from Heilongjiang province, said Liu had become "a symbol of power, a symbol of 'Go, China!' "

    "After he dropped out," Li said, "I almost lost my strength to continue watching the game."

    China has a history of heaping expectations on athletes, in a country where sports are highly politicized and glory is collective rather than individual. Twenty years ago, the public abandoned gymnast Li Ning, who won gold in Los Angeles in 1984 but did not win a medal in Seoul in 1988. Now a billionaire sportswear entrepreneur, Li Ning was chosen to light the Olympic cauldron in this month's Opening Ceremonies.

    One online user at Tianya, China's largest bulletin-board service, wrote that only weak nations pressure their athletes. "Liu Xiang pulling out is the beginning of China's maturity," the user wrote. "If people are naive enough to hope one person can support the dignity of the whole nation, then China is hopeless."

      一位50岁的黑龙江退休工人李博说刘翔成为“一种力量的象征，一种‘中国加油’的象征。”

         李说，“他退出后，我几乎没有力气再往下看接着的比赛了。”

         中国一直以来对运动员报以很高的期望，这是一个体育高度政治化的国家，强调集体荣誉而不是个人荣誉。20年前，公众遗弃了李宁，因为他在1984年洛杉矶奥运会上取得了冠军但是却没能在1988年汉城奥运会上取得一块奖牌。现在，作为一个亿万富翁的运动服企业家，李宁被选作在开幕式上点燃主火炬。

         在中国最大的论坛网站天涯上，一名网友写到只有弱国才会给自己的运动员施压。“刘翔的退赛是中国走向成熟的开始，如果人民天真的以为一个人足以支撑真个民族的尊严，那么中国就完蛋了。”

        连日来，为了第一时间观看北京奥运会的精彩赛事，法国民众“痛并快乐着”。

        由于法国与中国存在６个小时的时差，使得不少法国民众不得不在睡眠与欣赏比赛之间做出“痛苦的抉择”。尤其是他们关注的游泳决赛，通常都是在当地凌晨进行，为了不错过奥运会比赛，很多法国民众“忍痛”舍弃自己的睡眠时间，半夜爬起来观看电视直播。１４日举行男子１００米自由泳决赛，由于法国队的贝尔纳是夺金热门人选，当天约有２９万法国人在凌晨３点左右观看了比赛转播。

        截至１７日，法国队已经获得了２５枚奥运会奖牌，而在田径、自行车、帆船等项目上他们依然具有一定的优势。可以预见，在未来一周的时间里奥运会还将继续给法国人的生活带来激情和欢乐。

        美国民众观看奥运会的热情在沸腾

        北京奥运会开幕以来，奥运赛事电视转播始终吸引着大洋彼岸的美国电视观众，收视率接连创下美国本土之外所举办奥运会的最高纪录，民众观看奥运会的热情仍在沸腾。

        由于时差和转播安排上的原因，美国观众无法在第一时间从电视上看到众多比赛的现场直播，但这丝毫没有影响人们对四年一度人类体育盛会的热情。ＮＢＣ每晚黄金时间播出的奥运赛事是大多数美国家庭饭后的保留节目，美国游泳、体操和田径选手在赛场上的表现和得失被人们津津乐道。

        纽约著名的体育酒吧兰斯多恩路近来热闹非凡。据酒吧经理乔治介绍，７、８月份通常是美国民众外出度假的日子，酒吧的生意会冷清一些，可现在因为北京奥运会赛事紧张，兰斯多恩路的客流量也随着人们的观赛热情不断上升。谈及中国目前在金牌榜上遥遥领先，在酒吧观看比赛的鲍勃说：“中国的运动员表现很不错。但是田径比赛开始了，这可是美国的强项！”

    　　尼罗河畔看奥运成为流行时尚

        盛夏的开罗白天热浪逼人，到了晚上却是另一番景象。沿河大街星星点点的灯光倒映在尼罗河水中，习习凉风从河面吹来，岸边的咖啡馆、快餐厅成了人们纳凉的好去处。自北京奥运会开幕以来，这些地方成了人们集体看奥运的好场所。

        由于时差关系，北京奥运会比赛大多在开罗当地时间上午举行，上班族只能盼着下班后晚上的电视重播，但这一点也不影响人们的热情。很多年轻人下班后直奔尼罗河岸边的咖啡馆，三五个朋友聚在一起，一边聊天一边看奥运，成为当地一种流行的休闲方式。

        ２０多岁的阿齐兹是一家电脑公司的职员，平时上班很忙，晚上看奥运成了每天放松心情的好办法。“每天晚上１０点以后，我就会去咖啡馆看奥运比赛的电视转播，”阿齐兹说，“周五碰上全天休息，我就整天泡在那里看比赛”。

        在接下来的奥运赛事中，埃及运动员在现代五项等多个个人项目上具备夺牌实力，这也吊足了埃及观众的胃口。深夜仍在看比赛的穆罕默德和朋友们表示，一定要将观看奥运进行到底。

    　　首尔祈愿墙上系满丝带祝福奥运

        １７日晚上，首尔市中心清溪川广场上鼓声阵阵、欢呼不断。５００多名首尔市民聚集在清溪川广场韩国奥委会设立的大屏幕前，冒雨观看中国与韩国男子棒球预赛的实况转播。

        朴珉雨是一家公司的职员，奥运会开幕后，他只要有空，每天都会到清溪川广场看一会儿奥运比赛转播，为韩国选手加油，感受火热的奥运气氛。他说，每次观看奥运比赛都可以让他忘掉生活和工作中的烦心事，给平日单调的上班生活增添乐趣与活力。

        在他的身旁，奥运会开幕前设立的祈愿墙上，已经里三层外三层地系满了写有人们对奥运祝福的红色和橙色丝带；路边的奖牌榜上，则贴满了在北京奥运会上得到奖牌的韩国选手的大幅照片和他们的成绩。景色优美的清溪川广场，成了首尔市民抒发奥运激情的最佳场所。

        曼谷感受不平凡的奥运月

        １７日下午，曼谷帕拉功购物中心，一大群人围站在家电区的电视机样品前观看奥运赛事转播，时而欢呼，时而唏嘘。当天下午，泰国６４公斤级拳手马努斯对阵哈萨克斯坦选手萨皮耶夫，惊心动魄之处，满堂欢呼，声威震动整座商城。

        连日来，曼谷众多餐馆、超市、酒吧都上演着扎堆看奥运的场面。许多人甚至自带食物来“围观奥运”，并非因为家里没有电视，而是为了图个热闹。

        更有意思的是，据泰国媒体报道，一些频繁出行的乘客还要求机场、车站等公共场所停止播放千篇一律的广告，转而转播奥运节目，以满足那些不得不出行、却又不想错过赛事的乘客的要求。据悉，目前曼谷机场已经开始直播一些重要赛事。

        自北京奥运开幕那一天起，泰国国家电视台作为唯一一家获得全天候转播权的泰国电视媒体获得了丰厚的收视率回报。用该台一名主持人在奥运节目中的话说，“八月，注定是不平凡的一个月”。

        时差挡不住巴西观众的热情

        巴西里约热内卢与北京有１１个小时的时差，北京奥运会大部分比赛都在当地时间的夜间和上午进行。奥运会开幕以来，巴西主要媒体全天２４小时播报奥运节目，巴西的体育迷则抓紧一切机会找时间看比赛转播。

        １５日临近午夜时分，里约热内卢街头和居民区里突然响起热烈的欢呼声和一阵阵燃放焰火的声音，这是人们在庆祝巴西游泳运动员西埃洛在“水立方”夺得的北京奥运会男子５０米自由泳金牌。这是巴西代表团在本届奥运会上获得的第一枚金牌。

        此刻，一群大学师生正挤在里约热内卢市区博塔弗戈海滩的一家露天酒吧里一起看比赛。看到屏幕里尽情挥洒胜利泪水的西埃洛，女教师罗塞·达席尔瓦说：“我也快忍不住要哭了。看他夺冠那一刻，真是太令人激动了

  • About gold medal

    2008-8-19

     

    I think we shouldn't pay attention whether the athlete won a gold medal or not. Silver and bronze medal is also important and it's also a great honor. In the competition, as long as you try your best to perform, you are already a champion.

  • Liu xiang is best

    2008-8-19

     

    I believe he pulled out because of the rule for false starts. They are allowed one, but if another one happens, whomever it happens to is disqualified. Perhaps he quit knowing it would probably happen to him again because of his injury. I sort of felt sorry for him. I hate to see any athlete be forced to quit. I saw one disqualified in the swimming competitions for falling in the water before a swim. It happens to the best of them.

  • 让我们给刘翔送上真情安慰吧！

    2008-8-18

     

    China's Liu Xiang (L) leaves the tracks after getting injury in the first round competition of men's 110m hurdles at the National Stadium, also known as the Bird's Nest, during Beijing 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, Aug. 18, 2008. (Xinhua/Li Ga)

    　　BEIJING, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- Defending Olympic champion Liu Xiang pulled out of the men's 110m hurdles first round Monday morning at the Beijing Olympics.

    　　In the last heat of the first round, Liu quit the race after a false start of Dutchman Marcel van der Westen. He limped off the track, obviously being troubled by a foot injury.

    　　Liu's coach Sun Haiping said in a post-race press conference, "His right heel injury has been a long problem since six years ago, even before the Athens Olympics."

    　　"On Aug. 16, we arrived at the Olympic village, medical experts analyzed Liu's injury and specified there was a problem on Liu's Achilles's tendon," Sun said.

    　　World record holder Dayron Robles of Cuba earlier breezed through to the next round, clocking 13.39 seconds.

    　　He said, "I'm perfect today, and the track is good for breaking world record."

    　　Without Liu and Olympic silver medalist Terrence Trammell of the United States, who fell down to the track in heat five, Robles will be almost unbeatable in the finals.

    　　Liu's teammates Shi Dongpeng and Ji Wei were also qualified for the next round.

    对于东道主而言，今天开始的110米栏比赛将是一道“饕餮大餐”，13亿中国人将期待他们的“飞人”刘翔能够在“鸟巢”创造一个超越雅典的神话。

        可是，意外却发生了。

        因为伤情难继，刘翔在今天赛前不得不作出一个几乎所有人都不会相信的决定——正式退出北京奥运会110米栏的比赛！

        人生最大的痛苦，绝不在于你有足够的实力，而在于当属于你的舞台拉开帷幕时，你却遭遇横空打击，痛失一展风采的机会。

        刘翔正在遭遇这样的煎熬与痛楚！

        也许对于刘翔而言，失去在北京奥运会争夺桂冠的机会，将意味着他错失了人生最为重要的一次的华丽演出。可是刘翔伤了，而且伤的不轻，伤的不是时候。

        人生总有无奈时，万千宠爱于一身的刘翔也不例外。

        其实，一切早有预兆。从美国回来，刘翔就一直进入调整状态。虽然刘翔的右大腿和后侧伤势好了很多，可他的老伤——右脚后跟又痛了起来。此前，有知情人士透露，刘翔最近一次队内测试赛中跑出了12秒98。当然，这是一个不错的成绩，但对于家门前的奥运会而言，刘翔还将承受巨大的压力，况且，他的伤是老伤，你无法保证它会不会在关键时候制造麻烦。特别是对于110米栏这个项目而言，受到诸如上栏、过栏、栏间跑等技术因素的影响，稍微的伤情都可能影响正常的发挥

         相信刘翔作出这样的决定绝不是临战畏阵，而是实在不得已而为之。

         一名运动员因伤而退出比赛，已是莫大的沮丧，而这样的情况发生在家门口的奥运赛场上，此刻刘翔的痛苦恐怕难以用言辞可以表述。我们实在不想把刘翔当作一位悲情英雄，那位快乐的邻家男孩用他的速度与激情给我们带来那么多的骄傲与荣光。

        事实终究无法更改，当我们的期望变为失望时，我们绝不该选择谩骂或者抱怨，而是更应该体谅一下刘翔此刻的心境，把温馨的真情送给他，慰籍他的痛苦与不安，鼓励他鼓起信心，迎接明天一个新鲜的太阳。

         当射击运动员杜丽错失北京奥运会首金后，我们没有一丝错怪杜丽之意。相反，因为我们的真情安慰和宽容以待，让杜丽走出泥沼，在数天后的比赛中勇夺金牌。对于刘翔的退出比赛，我们是不是也该如此？
