伦敦奥运会倒计时一周年.doc

伦敦奥运会倒计时一周年Finlay MacKay is a photographer from Glasgow. Hes been involved in a photo exhibition project with the National Portrait Gallery over the past eight months, taking pictures of the athletes of Team GB.MacKay says he is most impressed by 2008 Paralympics gold medalist David Weir and his trainer Jenny Archer.They were the first people we shot when it was too dark. And it was originally just a big shot of her head on the side. And they David was going by downhill. And it was really dark. Just didnt really work. And when we came back, I just noticed quite a change in her appearance. Her mum just died about six weeks before. So you can just really see it. When she was just telling me right at the moment when we took those pictures her mum just died, she was kind of crying. It was quite emotional.After watching the British athletes for the last 8-months, MacKay says he feels some of the athletes are well prepared.I think David Weir is ready because hes a winner. Pretty sure Aaron (Cook) is going to do really well cauz he was world champion and I think he still is. Louis (Smith) needs to keep training. If youre going to get perfect form in gymnastics, that toe should point there.Sebastian Coe, Chairman of the London Organizing Committee, says their final year before the games is all about preparation.The next 12 months is all about testing, testing, testing, making sure everything is tested for the athletes, for all our client groups.A series of test events have been held over the past few months, including the modern pentathlon, volleyball, the marathon and race walking.Another 35 test events are still scheduled to take place until this coming spring.And while the preparation for the events seems to be coming along, one of the nagging concerns is security.Londons two top police officers have resigned recently amid the phone hacking scandal connected to media-barron Rupert Murdochs organization.And Murdoch himself was attacked by a prankster during his testimony to a parliamentary committee, raising questions about security in London.Despite this, Coe says he still has confidence in their security preparations.One year to go, the strategy and the resources are in place. So whats important to us is the operational delivery from the security point of view. The team running that is still in place. The head guy is still in place. So everybody is focused on ensuring that police resources we need for 2012 are available.The one-year countdown celebration is going to be held in Trafalgar Square in downtown London.For CRI, Im Tu Yun in London.词汇讲解：1. athlete n. 运动员, 体育家例句：He is over the hill as a professional athlete.作为一名职业运动员, 他的巅峰时期已过。2. impress vt. 给以深刻印象, 使铭记例句：I was very impressed by her performance.她的表演给我留下了深刻的印象。3. medalist n. 得到奖牌的人例句：The gold medalist has been widely exposed to the public on television.这位金牌获得者在电视上广泛地向公众露面。4. shoot v. 拍摄例句：The film was shooting.这部影片正在拍摄中。5. emotional adj. 表现强烈情感的, 令人动情的例句：This is an emotional scene in the play.这是剧中动人的一幕。6. train v. 训练, 锻炼; 培养例句：Youll have to train hard before the next match.在下一场比赛之前你必须好好锻炼。7. schedule vt. 安排,预定例句：The delegation is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.代表团定于明日到达。8. nagging adj. 使人不得安宁的例句：I had a nagging worry that we werent going to get there.我有个挥之不去的忧虑，就是担心我们到不了那里 。9. resign v. 辞职, 放弃例句：The general resigned his commission.将军辞去了他的职务。10. testimony n. 证词例句：He was called in to bear testimony to what the police officer said.他被传入为警官所说的话作证。11. countdown n. 倒计时例句：The countdown begins in earnest as early as October.倒计时早在10月份就正式开始了。短语讲解：1.
