闭幕式【伦敦八分钟】后的 地道英语
观看完“伦敦八分钟”后，很多英国人开始在英国BBC上留言，并且骂声一片……
现将部分英国人“活生生的文字”摘录如下，供大家学习地道的英文：
【1】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.
【2】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.
【3】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”
【4】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
【5】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？
【6】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.
【7】I'm staying in Singapore and feel embarrassed to go to work tomorrow after that dreadful showing by London 2012
【8】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.
【9】I live in Germany and, like the person from Singapore, will be ashamed to meet my friends tomorrow
【10】And why can't Boris button his jacket？Too fat or bad tailoring？
【11】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.
