[转帖]你想知道英国人是怎么看他们8分钟表演的吗？英国绅士也是很“牛！”的
(转)英国人自己对伦敦8分钟评论 会员 satodoxigo 发帖于 环球风云 2008-08-25 评论47条 浏览18927IP 受过奢华的开幕式洗礼后，本来对闭幕式没太大的兴趣，不过当惊闻英国伟大的吉他手Jimmy Page将出席表演后，昨晚我还是把自己的身体压制在了电视机前。
Jimmy Page相当于英国摇滚界的梅兰芳这类老艺术家来着，如果知道一点摇滚乐的话，会明白把他拿出来分量是很重的，他出现在后半部分，代表现代英国对世界文化的贡献。英国60年代以后出了一拨又一拨的伟大摇滚乐队，批头士，滚石，平克等等那简直是把全世界都震了，其中包括Led Zepplin乐队及他们的吉他手Jimmy Page，因为他们的确开创了摇滚乐的新篇章，尤其是在列侬，freddie都死掉的今天。综合考虑，英国人还是觉得Led Zepplin的影响力最大吧（当然，如果不是麦卡特尼讨厌我D统治下的我国，应该是他分量最大），基本是拿出了压箱底的人物，只是国人观众对摇滚乐不太关心才体会不到而已，比如，Jimmy Page出来时，尖叫声大多来自运动员，而小贝出来时，尖叫来自看台。
大多数国人不认得Jimmy Page，但是这没有关系，因为伦敦八分钟是给全世界看的，不单单是给我们国人看的，你说人家刘欢，在国内够有名了吧，能和Sarah Brightman联袂献唱，等级够高了吧，可是如果在全世界五大洲做个调查，你说知道Jimmy Page的人和知道刘欢的人谁多呢。
也有人说，Led Zepplin这种东西，怀旧几分钟还可以，现在谁还神一样拜他啊，来个当红的bonjovi或者linkinpark之流还差不多。但是我们可以打个比方，我国去外国弘扬京剧，如果梅兰芳和梅葆玖都在世的话，派谁去显得更隆重？
不少国人都觉得伦敦8分钟别致新颖，不过，查阅了一些英国人自己对他们伦敦8分钟的反映却是不佳，就和不少国人自己不满意但却赢得了老外们广泛赞誉的开幕式一样，也许，这就是“围城”吧。。。。。。
摘一些英国人在BBC上留的评价：
The dancing was a bit straggly in the " London " routine . After seeing all the cyclists taking part,the Chinese will think "Nobody can afford cars in London " 伦敦的例行表演中登场的那些舞者简直就是群魔乱舞。眼看着那些骑着自行车的家伙也来凑热闹，中国人都会认为“伦敦人都买不起车啦”
Did anyone else this the 'London 8 minutes' presentation was - dare I say it - rubbish!? Leona sang her heart out on top of a ladder, on top of a bus whilst 20 contemporary dancers did their stuff way below. It was just so low key relative to what had gone on before it.
这儿还有没有人也觉得这次“伦敦8分钟”表演根本就是--恕我直言--垃圾！？Leona站在那巴士顶上的高架子上唱歌，简直把她的小心肝都给吓破了；同时还有那20来个家伙在底下伴舞。跟之前的那些表演相比，真是够丢分的了。
But oh, our offering at the closing ceremony was embarrassing.A red bus,a pop singer, an ageing rocker and an overpaid ball kicker was awful. Where was our great Island heritage portrayed in all this flummery?
哦，我们在闭幕式上的表现真丢脸。一辆红吧是，一个流行歌手，一个摇滚老头，还有个我们付了太多薪水给他的踢球的家伙 -- 这一切都太糟糕了。在这堆乱七八糟的糟粕里头，我们这个伟大岛屿的传承却无处可见。
I've just watched the Olympic closing ceremony, and as I feared, Britain's contribution was embarassing and totally pathetic - I just hope they manage to do better in 2012. It will obviously be impossible to rival the spectacular pageant that Beijing provided, but I thought the dancing (if you can call that dancing) and the Leona Lewis/Jimmy Page effort was just pitiful. Hopefully, we can ditch all this government inspired 'Cool Britannia' garbage and present something a bit more slick and professional.
刚看了闭幕式，跟我担心的一样，英国的表现真丢人而且完全令人失望，我只希望他们2012年能搞好点儿。很明显我们没法跟北京搞出的壮观场面好点，但我想那些舞蹈和俩歌手的表演都很令人遗憾。希望我们能够摆脱政府提倡的那些“酷酷的大不列颠”的垃圾，展现一些更专业和娴熟的东西。
I agree that Adrian Childs was poor: he seemed to think that he was on the One Show. The London Bus routine was pretty much rubbish ... the music was poor and everything smacked of pop culture. Period. The Games themselves were superbly run. The BBC was teetering on the brink of overblown nationalism, however.
我也觉得Adrian Childs很可怜，他看上去以为自己是在个人秀。。伦敦巴士的演出特别垃圾，音乐很糟糕，所有一切都带着流行文化时代的味道。运动会本身搞得非常好，但bbc有过分的民族主义之嫌。
I'm staying in Singapore and feel embarrassed to go to work tomorrow after that dreadful showing by London 2012
我住在新加坡，在伦敦2012年可怕的表演过后我明天去工作的时候会感觉很尴尬。
Jimmy Page and David Beckham have been massive icons of British popular culture. I'm not especially a fan of either, but they perfectly suited to the ceremony.
Jimmy Page和贝壳都是英国流行文化的重大标志。我并不是他们的粉丝，但他们很适合这个演出。
When I heard about the plans for the London presentation, including the "arrangement" of the national anthem and the rehashed 70s rock music, I thought "it can't possibly be as bad as I'm imagining it". Well, it wasn't. It was a thousand, toe-curlingly hideous times worse. Against the dignity, seriousness and power of the Chinese displays, it was so far beyond embarrassing, my brain has already almost forgotten it, in a desperate paroxysm of self-defence.
当我听到伦敦发表的计划，包括“安排的”国歌和70年代的摇滚歌曲，我想这不可能比我想象的还要糟糕，好了，它不是，它是千万倍的更加糟糕。对比尊严的，严肃的和力量的中国表演，它比丢脸还要丢脸，在绝望的自我保护状态下，我的大脑已经将它忘记。
omg, I hope our eight minutes during the closing ceremony is not a foretaste of the tackiness to come in four years time. "
It felt a lot longer than eight minutes..... Every cringe and every gasp of horror made it feel like a lifetime!If that is all we have to offer, lets hope the rest of the world has popped out down the pub when we take centre stage.
Our athletes deserve much better than this, they did us proud in Beijing (lets not forget the Paralympics too) and will continue to do so.
饿滴神，我希望闭幕式这8分钟不是预示着四年之后我们要展示出来的东西。
这个感觉不止8分钟，希望我们跑上台去表演的时候世界上其他人都跑出去泡吧了……（哈哈）
我们的运动员值得比这个好得多的东西，他们为我们在北京赢得了骄傲（别忘了还有残奥会）并且会继续这样做。
I have a Grandson living and working in Beijing and I only hope he stays under cover until the humilation dies down a little. It certainly will never go away. In 8 mins we have become the laughing stock of the world.
我有一个孙子生活和工作在北京，我只希望他在这丢人的气氛减小前藏好自己。它肯定永远不会消失。
在这8分钟，我们已成为世界笑柄
Leona！ Poor girls must be so nervous! She sounds like a whale mating
利昂娜！可怜的姑娘们很紧张吧! 她听起来像是只正在交配的鲸鱼
I didn't think it was possibly but this both sucks and blows.
我都不忍心这么说，但是这个的确是又SB又NC
Grow up London 2012 and stop trying to be so 'cool'. This is embarrassing.
成熟点，London 2012，别那么装酷。真丢人。
Is anyone else finding this all a bit shabby after the chinese dancing etc
大家有没有发现，在中国的舞蹈等等后面出场，他们显得多么寒酸啊。
Why don't my buses look like that?
汗，我坐的公交车怎么不像那个样子
