家园 【文摘】英国人对开幕式%

澳洲报纸上英国人对开幕式的评论:

Bugger.Not a discus tossed in anger and Britain is already in trouble.

Forget the sport,it's the opening ceremony that had the brightest and best of our bureaucrats choking on their finger food.

With Britain hosting the next Games, our blazers were watching proceedings with more than a casual interest and, let's be honest, hoping the whole thing stunk.

Unfortunately it was a triumph, and in four years we'll be running at a bar that has been set very high indeed.

Something died a little inside our men every time another battalion of luminous tai chi experts thundered onstage and contorted themselves into the Chinese symbol for "Follow that, matey".

The good news is computer effects have rendered that sort of showing off obsolete.

How many vierers shouted for family members to come and gawp at the magic, or refused to channel-hop lest they miss a life-changing piece of choreography?

Come 2012, London will blow the Chinese effort out of the water, using little more than a PlayStation and a couple of the special effects guys from Doctor Who.

呵呵,在今天的MX上看到的,专栏作者是Martin Maher,英国人。
