伦敦奥运开幕式确实值得表扬。它与北京奥运开幕式相比的低调体现了英国人识时务为俊杰的睿智。 并非所有的国家都有资格办中国那样的奥运开幕式。奥运开幕式展现的形象得与国家的地位相称。如果国力一般，却极显夸张，就像一个县令出行却打出王侯的排场，那是不合时宜的。 伦敦奥运开幕式导演 Danny Boyle就是个睿智的人。他说， 英国曾经是地球上最强大的国家，但今天它在世界事务中的角色已经降低，因此英国人应该谦虚一点，英国人开始明白自己在世界的地位。100年前英国率先工业革命，领导了世界，但世界已经变了，英国已经没有那么多的资源可以与北京争高低。 伦敦奥运会开幕式恰到好处，在于其得体。毕竟英国已经只是几个岛屿。 http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20120729/olympics2012/Beijing-show-liberated-us-says-Boyle.430609 Britain, which used to be the most powerful nation on earth, was being forced to come to terms with a reduced role in the world. “You know, this is our land, really. These are our islands. And this will be the last time we get something like this. There has to be a modesty.... you can’t get grandiose with this job because you are following Beijing,” said Boyle. “It is a late call for our nation, I think because we are learning our new place in the world,” he added. “One hundred years ago we were everything and obviously the Industrial Revolution is partly about that, but there’s a change.” “We don’t have as many resources and that’s fine, that’s a good thing, really. “And the world has changed in terms of Europe since then. You have to be sensible about it,” he added.
