老谋子，这次为中国人争了把脸。

8号那场开幕式，反正是深深的被震撼了，效果真的太棒了。可是CCTV版的拍效果有些不到位的地方，今天重看了NBC版的，虽然也有不足之处，结合强大的CCTV版，效果好多了。NBC的主持人话真多，可能照顾外国观众吧，帮助他们理解。
奥运开幕到今天已经是第六天了，中国军团的表现相当的出色，支持他们。不论是否拿到奖牌，你们的参赛精神，中国人民有目共睹。希望中国的奖牌榜一直领先下去，直到第二十九届奥运会结束。

absolutely wonderful opening ceremony, i know i can only remember 3, but todays ceremony beats the other two by miles. The organization and timing was wonderful, the sheer scale exciting and the torch lighting astounding. After the (people may not like this) bore of Athens’ ceremony, i was amazed and pleased to see such a spectacle. London, you now know what we’ve got to achieve, good luck
绝对美妙的开幕式，我只记得3个开幕式，但是这一个把其他两个甩开老远了。规模和点火炬令人惊叹。后面的运动员入场有点闷。能看到这样的奇观我非常惊叹和高兴。 伦敦，你现在知道该怎么做了吧？祝你好运！。

Beautiful.. just that.. nothing else.. beautiful.. China did it very well indeed.. the best Opening Ceremony ever to happen on an Olympic…
Well its understandable.. China is the richest country in terms of foreign reserves on planet earth..
They have 1,5 Trillion USDollars in reserves…
Spending 50 billion on an olympic barely makes a dent on China’s huge and fat savings piggy bank..
Congrats To China..
太美了！….无话可说….太美了！中国真是做得太棒了….史上最好的奥运开幕式！
不难理解…..中国是世界上外汇储备最多的国家，他们有1.5万亿美元储备…..
花500亿（有这么多吗?）在奥运会上只是小菜一碟，他们的银行很快又会被塞满的…
祝贺中国

Hope London can match it in 2012

Mike sent a text asking how we would compete with the chinese in 4 years time.
I don’t think we have it in us. The Chinese seem extremely proud of this event and have pulled out all the stops.
All we’ll do is waste money and employ unsuitable people to sort the ceremony out.
Anyway, have we got anything worth telling the world about? As far as I can see at the moment, all that happens in Britain is that kids kill each other.
It’s a sorry state of affairs that I hope changes before 2012.

That was an amazing ceromony! truly thoughtful but the commentators were so dire! Huw kept on spoiling the surprise, Hazel talked without really saying anything and as for the other one-the cheap political and historical shots were unfair-not least because many conutries dont exactly have a picture perfect human rights record (ahem!)

As for 2012-I really hope they can top it-but I have a suspician they will dress up retired newsreaders in big ben costumes!

这是一场令人惊叹的开幕式！我真的这么想，但是解说员太烂了（BBC的解说员）。 Huw一直在扫兴，Hazel一直在放屁，至于另一个 —— NB一个，他的政治攻击很不公平——没有哪个国家真的有详细的人权记录报告！
至于2012 —— 非常希望他们能超越—— 但是我恐怕，他们会把退休的新闻播音员盛装打扮成大笨钟！

So the Olympics start soon, followed afterwards by the Paralympics. The phrases “didn’t they all do well” and “it’s not the winning, but the taking part that matters” will be used many, many times during the Paralympics. I mean, who seriously watches it? I would watch it if they added a few events, such as midget boxing, blind javand wheelchair high dive   (www.winshell.cn)

恩，奥运会马上就开始了，后面跟着的是残奥会。在残奥会期间，“他们都很棒”，“能不能赢不是最重要的，重要的是参与”这些口号将被反反复复的提起来。我说，谁会去看残奥会啊？要们要是增加“侏儒拳击”，“盲人标枪”和“轮椅跳水”这些项目，我倒是会考虑下。

Fantastic ceremony both in design and 执行ution. Perhaps London should think the unthinkable for our go in 2012. Make our opening ceremony a world event, not a national one.

Resist the temptation to focus on our own national identity and history (not that there is anything wrong with it)Surpise the world
梦幻的开幕式，设计和执行都非常好。 也许伦敦2012应该想一些想不到的点子（如果“想不到”那该怎么去想？？~~~）， 让我们的开幕式成为世界的盛典而不是单一民族的。 展示多元文化的理念而不仅仅是民族特有的（我不是说这样不对），给世界一个惊喜！

It was a great opening ceremony but too long.
Brilliant creativity and spectacular fireworks, but you expect that from China.
London 2012 does have a hard act to follow and I would suggest to them not to make it so epic but more light-hearted and fun. Maybe with a ‘Carry on’ 无效 theme.

Where China had a very traditional show, London should go with an MTV 无效 presentation.

Looking forward to the events now, come on team GB.

非常棒的开幕式，不过长了点。
豪华的，有创意的，壮观的烟火，但希望那是中国的（废话当然是中国的）
伦敦2012的工作也许会很艰苦，我建议我们不用这么壮观，弄得轻松愉快点，就像“carry on”（是个虾米玩意儿？滑稽剧？）

12:41 pm I hope NBC is smart enough to produce a general release of the opening to movie theaters with 3D and large screens. This was an experience that everyone should have the opportunity to see properly. There has NEVER been a show this spectacular, no Super Bowl Halftime, Academy Awards, Vegas Extravaganza or other Olympics Opening- ever! I pity London as they try to follow this act in 2112.

1:08 pm I agree that the ceremonies were impressive and awe-inspiring. So many memorable moments and beautiful feats. Lovely. But one thing I missed was a sense of the history of *sport* and of the Olympics. Usually Opening Ceremonies mention each of the former host cities and we learn something about Olympic history and Olympians. The spectacles include athletes or scenes from sports. Until the athletes entered the stadium, I didn’t see how this was a *sporting* event. But maybe that’s a positive thing? It was certainly very innovative, a new way of conceiving of the Opening Ceremony.

我 同意开幕式很不错，很多值得纪念的时刻，也有很多很漂亮的表演。但是没看到有关体育和奥林匹克的东西。一般开幕式都会提到之前的举办城市，大家也能学到点 关于奥林匹克历史和奥林匹亚的内容。这次也有运动员或是有关运动的场面，但是直到运动员入场我都没看出来这是个“体育”活动。不过也许这也是个进步？整个 演出铁定是很有创意的，演绎开幕式的全新思路。

2:45 pm The ceremony was awesome, but the NBC coverage was just okay. Not terrible but nothing special. Why didn’t they have a Chinese person in the booth with them to lend greater cultural context to the play by play? Major oversight in my opinion. Another pet peeve-they kept referring to the fact that the countries were not in alphabetical order….and mentioned the characters/# of radicals determining the sequence. I wanted to see the characters! NBC could have easily included them at the bottom of the screen along with the english name, map graphic etc. Characters are cool, interesting and beautiful….and relevant considering the millions of overseas Chinese watching the broadcast. Seems like a no brainer to me.

Buy a DVR.

The anti-U.S. business, whiney why-don’t-we-get-it-for-free-and-uninterrupted complaints here ignore the fact that the Chinese charge NBC billions and NBC is charging advertiser’s billions and a DVR costs less than $150. and tickets + airfare to see live costs $2000.00.
So whiners: Grow up, open up your wallet just like NBC did.There is no constitutional right to watch anything you want for free.

发牢骚的人都忘了，中国人收了NBC十几亿，NBC又收了广告商十几亿，而刻录机还不到150块。去看现场的机票＋门票要2000块。

3:00 pm Have never seen anything like this: condensing 5000 years of history into a two-hour performance with beauty, charm, and grandeur. I would see it second and third time.

Anyone saying it is a bore just reflected his/her own ignorance about history, culture, art, and beauty–it has nothing to do with the awe-inspiring ceremony.

3:22 pm The opening ceremony was dignified and artistically majestic – I wish I were there to see it in person. Zhang Zhimou did an incredible job. Glad that Spielberg dropped out – he would have turned it into an American-ｓｔｙｌｅ blockbuster, typically juvenile and bombastic.

3:25 pm Why couldn’t the NBC announcers just let the event unfold without their banal commentary? The opening ceremonies don’t need a play-by-play; Matt Lauer and Bob Costas turned into that annoying couple that sits behind you at a Broadway show and reiterates loudly what just happened on stage.

Will Britian have the same unity when we open the games in 2012. Of course not the last thing on show will be the Union Jack. With all the nationalism in Britan today how are we going to explain why we need 4 flag poles instead of 1.
Nothing British about the event today everyone was united pulling together in the name of sport.
I thought the commentry on BBC 1 was rubbish.Far too political for a sporting event and they were rarely talking about the event itself.
Well done China that was an opening ceremony to be proud of the best yet.

2012年我们能以一个统一的身份参与吗？ 当然不能只挂英格兰旗。 民族主义者们该怎么解释，别的国家只要一面国旗，而我们有四面！ （英格兰，苏格兰，威尔士，北爱，ms欧洲杯英格兰和苏格兰分两只队伍参赛的）

我们没法以体育的名义团结在一起。

BBC一台的解说员太烂。关于政治的废话太多，关于体育本身却说的很少。

中国干得好，这届开幕式是最棒的，骄傲吧！

中国呈现了一场美妙的开幕式，伦敦很难超越甚至接近……老实说这可能是我看过的最好的开幕式了…..中国好样儿的！英国人，开始想点好点子吧，再弄得跟2010奥运标志似的，我的就成为笑柄啦。

For cultural references to draw upon for an opening ceremony China does have a bit of an advantage.

When most of Western Europe was basically peopled by savages, China had already embarked upon a civilised culture that had refinements that weren’t to be seen here for a couple of thousand years. It is the oldest continuous culture on Earth and though surpassed technologically by us for a few centuries has in the space of a couple of generations cought us up and will in the latter part of the 21st Century be the most powerful economy in the World.

One can only but marvel at the sheer arrogance and brutal economic power displayed in this Olympic opening ceremony. It was truly Olympic.

What government in the West apart from probably the USA could muster such economic power to put on such a spectacle as we have witnessed today?

It was both awe-inspiring and frightening.

They wanted to send out a message to us and boy didn’t they?

在文化方面中国的确有优势。

当咱们欧洲人还住山洞的时候，中国人已经比我们早几千年过上了精致文明的日子。中国文化是地球上最古老的、延续的文化。虽然最近几百年被我们的科技超越，但是我相信21世纪他们会成为最大的经济强国。

我们只能惊叹于北京奥运展示出的他们的自豪和强大的经济实力。

西方国家该怎样聚集经济实力才能搞一场这样壮观的盛典？

令人敬畏啊。

这就是他们想传递给我们的信息，不是吗？

Hey, NBC, CBS, ABC … if there is going to be another such sought after world event like this one — quite unlikely for some years to come, fundraise from the viewers like Obama did, then you can ’serve’ the American public better, and you don’t need to censor us like you did, and continue to do so.

I preferred it when they just used one of the usual athletics commentators to witter away over the ceremony. What Huw Edwards is doing there is a mystery. Charisma-less twonk.

Taking a break from the China Bashing, I would like to say that this ceremony is rather spectacular.

I hope London 2012 doesn’t embarrass us.

引用：那些实况播音员太糟糕了，我真想他们闭嘴。

比起（那些主持人）在开幕式里没完没了的唠叨，我情愿他们只是用一个普通的体育评论员（来直播这个赛事）。真闹不懂Huw Edwards在干嘛。还有Charisma-less twonk.

看过一会这个中国开幕式，我想说，这个开幕式太壮观了。

我希望伦敦2021年奥运会不要让我们太窘迫。

All those thousands of people making shapes and practising for over a year is amazing
The London ceremony will be very different to this, i mean, we don’t have thousands of years of history, legends etc to draw on

那几千个表演者练习了一年多，这太惊人了
伦敦开幕礼会跟北京的非常不同，我的意思是，我们没有那么长的历史，也没有什么传奇，或其他来展示

Just wish all this political commentary could be left out. I know China’s rife with pollution and all the crimes against humanity, but I don’t want to hear it at this time when there’s so much already to take in and try to appreciate.

From what COULD be seen from the NBC braodcast with running mouth commentary, (some of it interesting factoids but much NOT) the ceremoney was indeed spectacular (reminde me of Cirque duSOleil performance art) Too bad they did NOT find a way to have it present ed COMMERCIAL free, the constant commercial interruptions (and so out of place that McCain political attack ad) had they presented it UNINTERRUPTED , then listed the COMMERCIAL SPNSORS and used the coomericial footage elsewise…The opeing was important enough they should have figured a way to so accomplish and would have received very high marks for such coverage !!!
从NBC播放的连带碎嘴评论（有些有点儿意思不过大多数不是）的你确实能 看的部分来说，开幕式确实NB（让我想起太阳马戏团的表演）。他们离不开广告真是太糟糕了，那些不停出现的广告干扰（还有莫名其妙的麦凯恩文宣）要是他们 能干干净净播出，然后标明赞助商，或者XX（没明白是啥）……开幕式很重要，他们本该想办法完成任务，而且也会因此得到高度评价！

The word “awesome” is so overused, that when something like this comes along, we are at a loss for a de脚本ive word that does it justice. The Opening Ceremony was so spectacular that it will stay in our minds for a long time. I agree with all the negative comments about the Commentary….
I never heard such stupid blather in my life..
whatever amount these guys were paid, they should give it all back. They reflected very poorly on NBC as well as our whole country. However, as regards the commercials, we can’t forget that because those companies are willing to foot the bill, we can sit in our living rooms and watch the entire Olympics, free…which is very nice ! But they seem to forget that we resent the commercial interrupting the scene…which is no way to build up sales !
NB这词已经太泛滥了，这次开幕式会令你哑口无言，无法用语言描述。开幕式这么棒，很长一段时间里都令人难忘。我同意那些关于广告的不满……
一辈子没听过这么傻的废话……不管这些人拿了多少钱，都该还回去。他们让NBC甚至整个国家都没面子。尽管如此，就算各应这些广告，我们也不能忘了正是 因为这些公司愿意付钱，我们才能坐在家里白看整个AY……多好啊！但他们好像忘了我们讨厌插播广告……产品怎么可能大卖！

AS long as NBC has had the franchise on US broadcast rights to the Olympic Games, they have managed to turn the single most transcendent event on Planet Earth into a vapid quadrennial display of crass commercialism. And to further besmirch an already tasteless performance, the smug — and ceaseless — blather of Costas and Lauer contributed immensely to my gratitude that online streaming video will soon liberate us all from network nabobs controlling and exploiting the free flow of information.
NBC拥有AY的在美转播权，他们有能耐把地球上最重大的活动变成乏味的四年一度破烂广 告大放送。为了让这毫无品味的表现更上一层楼，Costas跟Lauer那些洋洋自得——且滔滔不绝——的连篇废话让我无比感激在线视频会很快把我们从网 络土豪的控制中解放，去探索信息自由。
— Posted by JLincoln

If the anchorman (Costas, his name?) had any understanding of Chinese history/culture beyond the stalest banalities, he did a good job hiding it. Zhang knows his audience will be broad and international. As such, the scale and nuance of his vision is meant to be accessed through the primary senses.
How is the audience supposed to get this when their visual and musical senses are forced into battle with a determined soundtrack of off-keyed analysis and crude misinterpretations?

Couldn’t NBC have just translated what little displayed/spoken Chinese with subtitles or are they just absolutely convinced that the average American will get lost without their own familiar voice explaining away every image that appears before them?
如果说解说员（Costas，叫这个？）除了那些陈芝麻烂谷子对中国文化有一星半点儿的了解，只能说他藏得很好！张艺谋清楚他的观众遍布全世界。因此，那些深刻以及微妙的场景要通过整个画面来展现。
可当音效和乐曲要跟充满了不知所谓的总结跟粗鲁的干扰的坚定画外音对抗，观众怎么能明白？
NBC就不能只翻译那些演出中用到的中文再加上字幕，还是他们就绝对相信一般老美要是没有熟悉的解说音分析每个画面就看不懂？

The Chinese have given a new meaning to the word “spectacular”. Unfortunately having to wade through a swarm of ugly commercials spoiled the whole affect. The first hour had almost 25 minutes of commercials or promos and the ugly NBC logo was attached to the screen in the upper right corner like a gigantic tick sucking the lifeblood out of the picture.
It was without a doubt the most extraordinary event I have seen in more than my 80+ years on the earth. The opening drumming was eyepopping and the ending was without equal in any exhibition I have ever witnessed.
I was in China 20 years ago this month and the progress they have made during the last 20 years is staggering. I think we have just seen the opening shot in their dominance of the world stage. The USA is about to become an also ran thanks to the buffoons in Washington.
中国人赋予了“精彩”二字全新的定义。不幸的是逡巡于一堆破广告里令效果大打折扣。头个小时就有将近25分钟广告，NBC那个破台标跟个大虱子似的死巴着电视右上角好想要从画面里头吸血。
毫无疑问，这是我八十多年来看过的世上最超乎寻常的节目。开幕鼓舞让人眼珠子都掉出来，结尾更是无与伦比。
二十年前的这个月我去过中国，他们这些年的发展出人意料。我想我们刚刚看了他们重新站上世界舞台的一幕。就因为华盛顿的那些小丑，美国要成废物点心了。

I feel so lucky to live close enough to Canada to have seen the ceremony *live* on CBC Friday morning. It started at 7:00 AM PT and was replayed again later in the afternoon with relatively little commentary and commercial interruption. Yes, there was a bit of ogling once the Canadian team entered the stadium, but they had a split screen so that viewers could still see the remaining teams enter and be recognized. It was like a breath of fresh air after years of listening to Costass and Co. Thanks, Northern Neighbors!
我觉得自己运气真好，住得离加拿大够近，周五早上就能看CBC直播。早晨七点开始直播，下午重播时插了点儿广告，解说也少了点。加拿大进场的时候他们是光播自己了，不过有分画面让你看其他队伍入场。听了这么多年的Costass，简直像一缕清风。多些，北方邻居！

Of course NBC had record ratings. This is what happens when you allow a monopoly on coverage of the most amazing show of this decade. (Hearty congratulations to the Chinese, you should be very proud)

I am struck by the irony of the media situation in the US. Americans are quick to criticize the Chinese government for censorship and other restrictions on media and internet sources of information. Yet we ride right along as NBC effectively censors the Olympics, choosing not only when we see the events but which events and athletes we will be able to watch. We will be shown only the athletes deemed marketable by NBC 执行s – while many remarkable efforts by many remarkable people will be invisible in the USA.

If our government exercised the same control over the viewing options there would be riots in the streets. Yet, we remain complacent when one network controls the information and earns millions in the process. Is censorship somehow acceptable as long as someone is making money?
NBC肯定有等级评定。这就是允许独家放送十年来最精彩的节目的结果。（衷心祝贺中国人，你们该感到非常骄傲。）
美国媒体现状的讽刺性令我震惊。老美在指责中国go-vern-ment那些审查制度和媒体网络禁令的时候反应挺快。可我们就这么让NBC审查AY播 出，不止替我们决定什么时候看项目，还有我们能看那些项目和运动员。我们只能看那些NBC想让我们看的运动员——许多值得称道的人们的非凡努力在美国是隐 形的。
如果我们的go-vern-ment在收视选择上施加相同的控制，街上会暴动。然而当网络控制信息并以此赚大钱的时候我们却甘于沉默。是不是只要能赚钱，审查也无所谓？

I watched about 5 minutes total of the NBC broadcast during commercial breaks from CBC’s live coverage last night. I was struck by the need of NBC’s commentator to talk over the children’s choir singing the Olympic Anthem during the flag raising ceremony. Rude, insensitive, arrogant, disrespectful — Take your pick. CBC had the class to let the choir sing uninterrupted when it broadcast the same ceremony 15 hours earlier.
昨晚我在看CBC直播的时候看了五分钟NBC的节目。NBC评论员在孩子们唱会歌的时候还在唠叨，把我给惊了。粗鲁，迟钝，傲慢，无礼——随便选一个。15小时前播放同一场开幕式的时候CBC好歹让歌曲不受干扰地完整播出。

NBC had better replat the opening! Otherwise the FCC ought to be involved. All other sites are shut down for replay so at least the lawyers know how popular this was.

I appreciate the fact that NBC covered the opening ceremony, however, the constant interruption with commercials and constant chatter over the musics and sounds of each segment drove me up the wall. We never got to see even one complete event! I hope that someone somewhere filmed the entire ceremony and will offer it on DVD or in a special televison event. The sounds should have been experienced along with the visual, but the commentators droned on over the beautiful productions oblivious to their destruction of the entire scene. I agree that this was unique and amazing. Everyone should see it.
我很感谢NBC能播放开幕式，但不停插广告还有评论盖过了音乐， 让我发疯。我们永远看不成一个完整节目！希望有什么人能录下开幕式制成DVD，或者来个特别放松。背景音也是演出一部分，但评论员喋喋不休地评论丝毫不知 自己在破坏演出的完整性。我同意这演出特别而且令人惊叹。每个人都该去看。
Do we know if they skipped over parts? Because if it was taped, they could’ve stopped the action between ads and picked it up on the other side. On the other hand, if the actual show did last more than 4 hours, that wouldn’t work. Oh, well. I would like to see the uninterrupted show (minus the athlete parade) in HD, but this was better than nothing.
我们怎么知道他们是不是跳过了什么？如果这是录播，他们可以在放广告的时候暂停播放，然后再继续。但从另一方面来说，如果开幕式长度确实超过四小时，那就没办法了。哦，好吧。我是想看高清画质的完整演出（捎带一点入场式），不过这也聊胜于无。

Despite NBC’s decision to tape-delay (sigh), and despite bob costas talking too much, and despite too many commercial breaks… That was an absolutely spectacular opening ceremony.
尽管NBC决定录播（唉），尽管bob costas老是得得，尽管这么多广告……这还是绝对精彩的开幕式。

i couldn’t understand why they didn’t show the ceremony in its entirety. they already taped the thing for primetime broadcast shouldn’t they have edited it properly. it would have been understandable if you missed parts of it because they had to go to a commercial break IF they showed it live. but they didn’t. so why did they cut out some parts?? that was dumb nbc. the summer olympics only happens every 4 years.
我真不明白为啥他们不播送完整仪式。他们早都录下来了，应该能编排好。如果说为了放广告错过画面也可以理解——如果是直播的话。但他们没有。那他们剪辑啥？NC的NBC。夏季奥运可是四年才一回。

嘿，NBC，CBS，ABC……如果以后要像这样调查世界大事——几年内是不可能的，向奥巴马一样从观众那里募捐，那你可以更好地“服务”美国公众，而且你没必要这样审查我们，就这么继续下去。（这句不太会翻ORZ）

I don’t understand WHY, after that 12 hours delay in televising the opening, they cannot find time to insert the commercial while including the whole ceremony!

Why did NBC felt a need to still leave part out when they have plenty of time to edit the raw tape!

Shame on you NBC. You have butchered a perfectly good opening. It is like watching a film and the editor cut out all the kissing and cuddling part!
我不明白为啥，延迟了12小时之后才播放，他们还找不出事件在播放整个仪式的同时插播广告！
为什么NBC觉得有必要切割演出，他们有大把事件编排！
可耻的NBC。你糟蹋了一个完美的开幕式。简直就像看一部剪掉所有吻戏亲热戏的电影！
