Lord Coe: I really want the torch, the flame, as it travels around the country and our London boroughs, to really shine a light on all the things that are actually taking place in our own backyard.

Yang Li: 那是倫敦奧組委主席科爾勛爵談火炬?zhèn)鬟f計劃, a 70-day torch relay with 8,000 torch bearers. 大家好我是楊莉， 歡迎收聽《都市掠影》節(jié)目。Last week we heard some local residents talk about how they felt about having the Olympics in their backyard. Today we will look at the plan for the Olympic Torch Relay 火炬?zhèn)鬟f.

Lord Coe is the chairman of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games 奧組委主席。他說，他希望英國各地能通過火炬?zhèn)鬟f把自己的風貌突出展現(xiàn)出來。在下面這段錄音里請大家注意聽以下幾個短語: to shine a light on 突出展現(xiàn)；their own backyard 他們自己的家門口；energising 激發(fā)起某種活力。Now Lord Coe again:

Lord Coe: I really want the torch, the flame, as it travels around the country and our London boroughs, to really shine a light on all the things that are actually taking place in our own backyard. And maybe use the flame as a way of energising some of those festivals, some of those projects, some of those community initiatives that are perhaps not even recognised by people in their own community.

Yang Li: 他希望火炬?zhèn)鬟f能激發(fā)帶動一些節(jié)慶活動，發(fā)展項目和社區(qū)建設(shè)倡議。Festivals, projects and community initiatives. But what do British people say about this? 英國老百姓希望看到火炬經(jīng)過哪些社區(qū)和城市呢？

Woman: I think, well, 'cos I'm from Scotland, so up north would be nice, like the Highlands would be really nice, really pretty.

Yang Li: 這位來自蘇格蘭的女子說蘇格蘭高地很美。The Highlands 指蘇格蘭高地。

Insert

Woman: Obviously, around, the main city of London, and, obviously, Stratford area. Also, going along the outskirts of London.

Yang Li: The outskirts of London 倫敦周邊的地區(qū)。

Insert

Man: Perhaps, start up in Scotland, in Balmoral, and then come down in all the royal houses, and visit the Queen back at Buck House, and then come along from there.

Yang Li: Balmoral 是英國王室在蘇格蘭的夏宮，他建議火炬應該從蘇格蘭開始，向南一直到白金漢宮，Buck House 是一種非常隨便的說法，指白金漢宮 Buckingham Palace.

下面講話的這位男子說奧運火炬應該從倫敦的內(nèi)城窮人區(qū)開始 inner city, deprived areas of London. But why did he think so?

Insert

Man: Right, well I think it should visit, certainly, the inner city, deprived areas of London, not just concentrate on the Chelseas and the Kensingtons. But, you know, let's go round Peckham, Lewisham, Brixton, Newham, Tower Hamlets. You know, let's bring the Olympics to the people, 'cos most of the athletes come from that kind of background anyway. So, it's important that we include them in the preparation, not just in the actual Games themselves.

Yang Li: He is a true Londoner with such a good knowledge of London boroughs！他說，奧運火炬行經(jīng)路線不應該僅僅是富人區(qū)，而應該包括更多的內(nèi)城窮人區(qū)。比如，Peckham, Lewisham, Brixton, Newham, Tower Hamlets，他的理由是什么呢？Here's what he said; listen again:

Insert

Most of the athletes come from that kind of background anyway. So, it's important that we include them in the preparation, not just in the actual Games themselves.

Yang Li: 他說，因為大多數(shù)田徑運動員都是從這些地區(qū)出來的，所以在火炬?zhèn)鬟f的準備階段應該把這些地區(qū)包括進去。

Insert

… most of the athletes come from that kind of background anyway. So… it’s important that we include them in the preparation, not just in the actual Games themselves.

倫敦的奧運火炬?zhèn)鬟f將進行70天，將有8000名火炬手，將火炬接力傳遞到奧運開幕式的那一刻，也就是 2012年8月8號20 點12分。That's a 70-day torch relay with 8000 torch bearers. 科爾勛爵鼓勵大家都來想一想當火炬抵達自己的城市和社區(qū)時，你最想展現(xiàn)給世界的是什么呢？Now I will leave you with a question from Lord Coe, chairman of The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games. What is it that you really want to shine a light on? 謝謝您收聽，我是楊莉，再會。

Insert

Clearly, we want to celebrate all our boroughs. As I go about the country, the interesting thing I get is smart communities are already beginning to think, you know, for the… for the hour or two that that torch is in their own backyard what is it that they really want to say about themselves? What is it they want to really shine a light on?
