羅格在北京奧運會開幕式上的致辭

　　
　　Mr President of the People’s Republic of China,

　　Mr Liu Qi,

　　Members of the Organising Committee,

　　Dear Chinese Friends,

　　Dear Athletes,

　　For a long time, China has dreamed of opening its doors and inviting the world’s athletes to Beijing for the Olympic Games.

　　Tonight that dream comes true. Congratulations, Beijing!

　　You have chosen as the theme of these Games One World, One Dream. That is what we are tonight.

　　As one world, we grieved with you over the tragic earthquake in Sichuan Province. We were moved by the great courage and solidarity of the Chinese people.

　　As one dream, may these Olympic Games bring you joy, hope and pride.

　　Athletes, the Games were created for you by our founder, Pierre de Coubertin. These Games belong to you. Let them be the athletes’ Games.

　　Remember that they are about much more than performance alone.

　　They are about the peaceful gathering of 204 National Olympic Committees—regardless of ethnic origin, gender, religions or political system.

　　Please compete in the spirit of Olympic values: excellence, friendship and respect.

　　Dear athletes, remember that you are role models for the Youth of the World. Reject doping and cheating.

　　Make us proud of your achievements and your conduct.http://www.rr365.com

　　As we bring the Olympic dream to life, our warm thanks go to the Beijing Organising Committee for their tireless work. Our special thanks also go to the thousands of gracious volunteers, without whom none of this would be possible.

　　Beijing, you are a host to the present and a gateway to the future. Thank you!

　　I now have the honour of asking the President of the People’s Republic of China to open the Games of the XXIX Olympiad of the modern era.

中華人民共和國主席先生，

　　劉淇先生，

　　奧組委的成員們，

　　親愛的中國朋友們，

　　親愛的運動員們：

　　長久以來，中國一直夢想著打開國門，邀請世界各地的運動員來北京參加奧運會。 

　　今晚，夢想變成了現(xiàn)實，祝賀北京！

　　你們選擇“同一個世界，同一個夢想”作為本屆奧運會的主題，今晚就是這個主題的體現(xiàn)。

　　我們處在同一個世界，所以我們像你們一樣，為四川的****災難而深感悲慟。中國人民的偉大勇氣和團結精神使我們備受感動。

　　我們擁有同一個夢想，所以希望本屆奧運會帶給你們快樂、希望和自豪。

　　各位運動員，我們的創(chuàng)始人皮埃爾·德·顧拜旦是因為你們而創(chuàng)立了現(xiàn)代奧林匹克運動會。奧運會屬于你們。讓奧運會成為運動員的盛會。

　　請大家牢記，奧運會不僅僅意味著比賽成績。

　　奧運會還是和平的聚會。２０４個國家和地區(qū)奧委會相聚于此，跨越了民族、性別、宗教以及政治制度的界限。

　　請大家本著奧林匹克的價值和精神，即卓越、友誼和尊重，投身于比賽。

　　親愛的運動員們，請記住，你們是世界青年的楷模，請拒絕興奮劑，向作弊說不。

　　你們的成就和表現(xiàn)應該讓我們感到驕傲。

　　當我們把奧林匹克夢想變成現(xiàn)實之時，我們要誠摯地感謝北京奧組委，感謝他們不辭勞苦的工作。我們還要特別感謝成千上萬、無私奉獻的志愿者們，沒有他們，這一切都不可能實現(xiàn)。

　　北京，你是今天的主人，也是通往明天的大門。感謝你！

　　現(xiàn)在，我榮幸地邀請中華人民共和國主席先生宣布第２９屆現(xiàn)代奧林匹克運動會開幕。
