[转贴]英国网友也看不懂“伦敦8分钟”

风雨清纱

  昨日上网，看到天涯有网友把英国人在BBC评论“伦敦8分钟”的帖子翻译过来了，觉得很好玩，就转过来了给大家共享，娱乐一下！           我以前是学美术的，好歹也和艺术搭点边。但说实话我也没看明白，只是怕别人笑话没好意思说。看到英国网友的批评，都算有点心宽：）哎，鄙视自己的阿Q精神!     
      伦敦市长鲍里斯·约翰逊在奥运闭幕式交旗仪式上的随意、邋遢和笨拙好像也激起了市民的巨大不满。看直播时我们全家都在讨论，连我女儿都在说。所以昨天写了一篇文章《伦敦市长鲍里斯·约翰逊给英国绅士形象抹黑（图）》，结果遭到诸多愤青的批判，今天看到BBC的这些评论，发现英国人民还是和我有同感的。
     或许我只是通过转发以下的评论想让大家多了解他人的真实想法，而不是一味地自惭形秽。而且需要说明的是这些可能只是部分英国网友的看法，并不能代表全部英国人的观点。
      好了，请不必要对别人的观点进行批判或者谩骂。不是说“即使我不赞成你说的话，但我誓死捍卫你说话的权利”吗？

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。

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　

不知道要嘲笑什么,在北京展示的英国垃圾8分钟还是这里自鸣得意的留言关于"至少我们是自由的",最后一次我看到英国是地球上安装最多监视器(CCTV英国沿街安装的监视系统,不是中央台哦)的国家,利用恐怖和仇恨来控制我们的日常自由,中国和英国之间唯一的区别是他们用掉了比我们的承受能力还多的钱,但是我相信我们也会花费我们能用的每一分钱.但是自由,别让我笑了.



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.

俺目睹过无数的盛大演出也看了DOME(这个不大明白）的开幕式，这回英国的演出可真是一场彻头彻尾的失败，比我看过的那些演出中的任何一次都更糟糕，以至于演出虽然只有8分钟，都让人觉得冗长的无法忍受。怪不得伦敦市长包里斯?孙在那之前看起来相当不爽-- 他一准是早就知道了接下来就要丢脸了。



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.

波利斯（伦敦市长)，俺有两个锦囊妙计贡献给你：

一，在如此盛大高端的场合下，丫儿地把手从你那兜兜里掏出来；

二，赶紧炒了那个端出英国8分钟这么一锅垃圾的责任人，2012年英国办开幕式闭幕式的时候一定要雇些演艺圈里的专业人员--万不得已的时候从赌城拉斯维加斯找也成哪。咱谁也受不了到时候再来那么一出让人?的脚趾头都抽抽的尴尬演出！！

  

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.　Hollis N Hosein, Trinidad and Tobago -WI　

让北京举办地球上最盛大的体育盛会无疑是正确的，而且将会难以忘怀。我们中的一些人光注意那些根本不重要的细节，而且还有人觉得他们（中国）是别有用心滴。所有高犯罪率的国家都应该从最近结束的奥运会学点什么，而且注意一下在豆蔻年华就发掘青少年的潜力是很重要滴，让他们的精力在正确的方向燃烧，而不是在犯罪行为上发光！



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　

8分钟是彻头彻尾的垃圾，我们TMD到底在表演什么啊？乱七八糟的巴士和疯子一样的表演者简直丢脸丢大发鸟。而对于那个代表英国的印度女孩，简直看不下去了。什么破玩意儿嘛。2012年伦敦根本不配举办奥运会！



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

伦敦在北京奥运会上最后的表现简直是垃圾。如果那些就是我们最好的东西，世界上其他人会怎么看？？一个曾经伟大的国家，如今却还不如第三世界，丢脸！！！



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]

除去英国糟糕透顶的表演部分，闭幕式还是不错滴。为什么我们要找一些过气的摇滚吉他手和糟透的选秀歌手来刺激我们？？贝克汉姆掺和在奥运会中做什么？？我们几乎不能展现2012年伦敦可能提供的一个年轻、有活力和令人兴奋的印象。如果这是伦敦奥运会将会展现出来的样子，也许Boris先生应该叫中国人把奥运会旗留在北京！



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　

我发现国有媒体的管制和审查制度还在继续啊。BBC上关于Waltham Forest区庆祝奥运的评论都到哪里去了？因为另外一个持刀杀人犯就被河蟹鸟？？那里的合唱团这段时间都应该在庆祝Walthamstow狂欢的人群吧？那可是被警察调查出来的犯罪情景啊。你们没必要编造，你们真的是真相的终结者！



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…

风雨清纱

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'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.

中国人似乎喜欢关于西方的所有事情(包括贝克汉姆),但是做为回报我们能做的只是说他们的坏话和不尊重.有句古语,用你期待别人对待你的方式来对待别人



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。


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。


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。

发现一个很奇怪的事，大家都对自己国家很挑剔，而习惯羡慕别人。想起了当年雅典的8分钟张老师被骂的情形～而今年的开幕式也如此，外媒把我们的开幕式说成了花，而身边的人却多数认为是屎。不识庐山真面目，只缘身在此山中。可能大家都是对自己的文化熟悉得生厌了，对别人的感到新鲜好奇。

LS的一个人蛮有道理 我也有些这么觉得
不过我还是觉得4年前 在雅典的表现是不错
不过认为 北京的开幕和闭幕不怎么样
  但对于伦敦的表演 我感觉还行 不是像他们自己说的那样`但也有点失望
因为几个月前看环球时报 说闭幕会有伦敦街舞表演 对于这个表演真没看到什么`

不过不管别人怎么说,我还是很喜欢开幕式的...别人说什么没有体育气息啊...古老得太沉重了...我反而很喜欢那调调...:tkek041: 咱就是对中国古老文化很钟情的说...虽然我不喜欢看老谋子的电影,但我还是很喜欢他导演的这副美伦美焕的开幕...

Princess旻

今年的开幕式真的蛮赞的……把中国的5000年贯穿始终，又结合现代奥运和科技……让人很有眼前一亮的感觉，尤其开幕伊始的击缶……但是闭幕式就有点让人失望了……那个云南的节目有点小失误，不过总体来说还是不错的……至于那个伦敦的8分钟，我是一点也没看懂，可能是文化不同吧，呵呵……
