介绍:
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. [01:08.65]
