14. Olympic Slogan 奥运口号
[00:02.61]Beijing unveiled the slogan for the 2008 Olympics
[00:07.39]as far back as 2005.
[00:09.72]"One World, One Dream" was finally selected
[00:13.54]from more than 210,000 entries from around the world.
[00:17.81]Beijing's original bid to host the 2008 games
[00:22.08]had a different slogan "New Beijing, Great Olympics".
[00:26.81]The organizers felt the new slogan
[00:29.76]shifted the focus nicely
[00:31.65]from the city of Beijing itself
[00:33.74]to the spirit of the Olympics
[00:36.07]- unity, friendship amongst nations and progress.
[00:40.30]It was also felt that the "One World, One Dream" slogan
[00:44.37]captured the traditional Chinese values of peace and harmony.
[00:48.28]The Olympics
[00:50.02]hasn't always had a slogan attached to each host country.
[00:53.48]In fact it wasn't until 1988
[00:56.83]at the Seoul Olympics in South Korea
[00:59.53]that the first slogan appeared.
[01:01.97]"Harmony and Progress" was chosen
[01:05.28]and it seems to have been a popular theme over the years.
