Inspire a Generation has been revealed as the official motto for the London Olympics.
伦敦奥运会发布官方口号:激励一代人。
the slogan was officially unveiled at a ceremony at Kew Gardens by London organising committee (LOCOG) chairman Lord Coe and chief executive Paul Deighton.
在于英国皇家植物园举办的倒计时仪式上,伦敦奥组委主席科欧和行政长官保罗·戴顿正式宣布了官方口号。
Coe said: 'I am delighted to announce the motto Inspire a Generation. It is everything we have been saying since we have started this extraordinary journey, not just since we got across the finish line in Singapore.
科欧主席:“我非常高兴地宣布2012伦敦奥运会的口号为激励一代人。这是我们一直以来的承诺,自申办奥运开始的承诺,不仅仅是从我们在新加坡获得2012奥运会举办资格开始。”
IOC president Jacques Rogge said expectations were high but he was confident that London would deliver. Rogge said: 'Organising the Olympics is a team effort, people from all walks of life and from all around the world will play their part in helping to make London 2012 a Games that will inspire a generation.”
国际奥委会主席罗格表示自己对此次奥运会期待很大,但相信伦敦奥运会一定会圆满成功。他表示:“组织奥运会是团队的努力,世界每个角落各行各业的人们都会发挥自己的作用,让伦敦奥运会真正成为激励一代人的体育盛会。”
奥运会的口号体现了一届奥运会所传递的精神和主题思想,而伦敦奥运会的“激励一代人”也体现了当初他们在申办奥运时承诺。奥运会口号也可以说是东道主向世界传达的一种理念。
