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**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？）
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。作者: 风雨清纱 时间: 2008-8-27 19:43
What was that red bus /umbrella garbage all about? What an embarrassment for UK. It was not so much the pathetic handover performance that upset me, but the arrogant, rude and disgraceful behavior of London’s mayor Boris Johnson when attending the handover party in Bejing. Show some respect Mr BJ ! Beijing was a gracious host and deserves some praise at the handover. Robert, Windsor
TMD红色巴士和垃圾雨伞到底是虾米啊？？！！真是给英国丢脸啊。从来没有比这次可怜的交接仪式更雷到我的了。而那个伦敦市长Boris Johnson 在北京闭幕式的交接仪式上无知、粗鲁和毫无尊重的表现更是丢人。给北京一点尊重吧！北京是个热情和蔼的主人，在交接仪式上值得尊重！
Dont know what to laugh more at - the tacky 8 minutes of rubbish the UK put on in Beijing or the smug comments on here about how "At least we are free.." Last time I looked the UK was the most watched (CCTV) nation on earth and we have a government that has used fear and hate to strip us of freedoms on a daily basis. The only difference between the UK and China is that they wasted billions more than we can afford to- but Im sure we'll waste as much as we can. But freedom?? Dont make me laugh! Terry Roberts, Shropshire
Oops, I forgot about the fireworks. Weren't they wonderful! I was so impressed by how they managed to create the Olympic Rings in the sky - truly amazing. Thank you China.
哦...我忘说烟花了,太漂亮了,他们是怎样把五环打在天空的,太不可思议了.谢谢中国.
In my time I've witnessed countless Royal Variety Performances and the opening ceremony of the Dome. This British fiasco was worse than any of them, and even at only eight minutes seemed interminable. No wonder London mayor Boris Johnson looked so uncomfortable beforehand. He must have known what was coming.
I have two tips for you, Boris. Keep your hands out of your pockets when attending high-profile events like this, and secondly fire whoever responsible for this fiasco and hire proper showbiz professionals ? from Las Vegas if necessary ? to handle the opening and closing ceremonies in 2012. Another toe-curling embarrassment like this would be unendurable.
roduction of Global sporting superstars at the 2008 Beijing Games is correct and will remain memorable. Yet, some of us tend to place focus on matters of less importance and one wonders what is their ulterior motives. All countries with high crime rates should learn from these recently concluded games, and note that it is of high importance to develop the youths sporting potential from a tender age, so that their high energy can be burnt in the right direction and not in criminal activities.

8 minutes of total rubbish , What the hell are we playing at , That whole bus thing and crazy people was a total sham , And as for the indian girl representing the children of England well I have seen it all now . What a mess , 2012 wont be a patch on this olympics.sam, london
In the London segment in the final countdown at the end of the Bejing olypics was total rubbish. If that is the best we can do to portray ourselves, then what will the rest of the world think. As a once great country we are now behind the third world, Shame Thomas Smith, Newcastle upon Tyne
There is one word for the "London 2012" presentation at the Beijing Olympic closing ceremony...naff !This includes Boris Johnson who looked as though he is in need of a decent tailor. It would help if he buttoned up his jacket. He looked like a 4th form schoolboy.The Chinese show was magnificent. Our athletes were brilliant.Delewar, Colchester
只能用一个词来形容代表“伦敦2012”在北京奥运会闭幕式上的表现---白开水！这其中包括咱们的市长大人Boris Johnson ，他看起来需要一个体面的形象顾问，如果他把扣子扣上，看起来也不会那么?，他看起来像一个4年级的中学生！中国的闭幕式非常恢宏壮观，我们的运动员们也优秀。
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. [BirdGirlsCanFly]
The Beijing to London handover shows how ill equipped we are to deal with an event of this scale. Compared to spectacular displays by the Chinese, our offering is a pathetic embarrassment.The 2012 Party belongs on Blue Peter and was on par with an end of term school show: Scouting for Girls destroying London’s Calling; Morrisons’ theme tune by Last Choir Standing and The Feeling playing with no feeling at all.Is this all Britain has to offer? Helen, Liverpool
北京-伦敦交接仪式显示出我们对应对这种盛大场合是多么的?啊。相比中国华丽恢宏的闭幕式，我们的表演简直是去丢脸滴！2012年的开幕式应该是以Blue Peter 为主吧，而闭幕式会以中学毕业晚会的形式来搞：调戏女孩子的声音毁坏伦敦的通讯；合唱团唱Morrisons的诗歌腔调；唯一的感觉就是没有感觉。这就是英国能够提供的？？？？
I see censorship and control by the state-owned media continues.Where is the report on the BBC website of the celebrations in the Olympic borough of Waltham Forest being canceled because of yet another knife murder, this time yards away from where the choir was supposed to sing to the cheering happy crowds in Walthamstow, who instead were replaced by the police investigating a crime scene.You couldn’t make it up. You really are a Ministry of Truth.humble scholar, London, United Kingdom
The Chinese showed their rich heritage and history in a dignified and beautiful performance.Us? We showed just what a farce 2012 will be.Our country's heritage (prior to the last government!) is one to be proud of. We have customs and a richer history than many others. So why are we showing a logo from the 70's (I'm a designer, it's shocking!) and a display of ageing rock, one-hit wonders, chavs and only modern London?I'm proud to be English, but in 2012? I may be moving...Angela, Chesterfield
中国人以一种高贵和美仑美焕的演出，展现了他们最辉煌的历史和灿烂的文化．我们呢？？我们却只显示了2012年一场闹剧．我们国家的历史文化值得我们每个人骄傲，我们有着比世界上其他任何国家都丰富的习俗和历史．那我们为什么却要拿出一个70年代的logo（我是个设计师，太雷人了！）和过时的摇滚 blabla的东西，以及现代的伦敦来秀？？作为英国人我很骄傲，但是对于2012？？我可能会搬走…作者: 风雨清纱 时间: 2008-8-27 19:44
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.
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。
The Chinese people seem to love all things western (David Beckham included by the looks of it) but in return all we can do is bad mouth them and show no respect. What does that say about us.There’s an old saying, treat people the same as how you would like to be treated.
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.
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.
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.
