Inspire a Generation has been revealed as the official motto for the London Olympics.
倫敦奧運會發布官方口號:激勵一代人。
the slogan was officially unveiled at a ceremony at Kew Gardens by London organising committee (LOCOG) chairman Lord Coe and chief executive Paul Deighton.
在于英國皇家植物園舉辦的倒計時儀式上,倫敦奧組委主席科歐和行政長官保羅·戴頓正式宣布了官方口號。
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.
科歐主席:“我非常高興地宣布2012倫敦奧運會的口號為激勵一代人。這是我們一直以來的承諾,自申辦奧運開始的承諾,不僅僅是從我們在新加坡獲得2012奧運會舉辦資格開始。”
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.”
國際奧委會主席羅格表示自己對此次奧運會期待很大,但相信倫敦奧運會一定會圓滿成功。他表示:“組織奧運會是團隊的努力,世界每個角落各行各業的人們都會發揮自己的作用,讓倫敦奧運會真正成為激勵一代人的體育盛會。”
奧運會的口號體現了一屆奧運會所傳遞的精神和主題思想,而倫敦奧運會的“激勵一代人”也體現了當初他們在申辦奧運時承諾。奧運會口號也可以說是東道主向世界傳達的一種理念。
