英国奥运军团能否重振帝国雄风？
Paul Sonne / Jonathan Clegg
1996年亚特兰大奥运会，大不列颠只带回了一枚金牌──比哈萨克斯坦少两枚──和一
颗受伤的民族心灵。16年后，得益于一个从国家彩票基金拿到充裕资金、专门培养英国
运动员的机器般精密运作的机构，英国奥运代表团（Team GB）已经彻底改头换面。结
果就是英国队有望在自家主场实现创纪录的表现。
从1996年微不足道的15枚奖牌到2008年的47枚，英国过去15年在奥运会赛场的悄然崛起
就是扭转干坤的典型案例。为备战伦敦奥运会，英国已经全方位巩固自己的奥运配置，
为政府特许的运动员训练机构注入资金，招募被称为“塑料英国人”（Plastic Brits
）的出生在国外的运动员，引进顶级教练，并狠抓有机会赢得奖牌的项目。
结果是，英国有可能会走出美国、中国和... 阅读全帖 |

英国奥运成绩是举国体制的胜利
作者： Paul Sonne & Jonathan Clegg 翻译：Melchior
1996年亚特兰大奥运会，大不列颠只带回了一枚金牌。这场危机促使英国政府将资金从
新成立的国家彩票基金划拨给一个能够培养大批赢得奖牌的运动员以及重振民族威望的
体育部门——这就是于1997年成立的“英国体育”（U.K. Sport）。该部门承担起了英
国夺取奥运奖牌的任务，起初的重点是抓英国擅长的那些项目，包括赛艇、帆船、自行
车和田径，并着重培养在这些项目中有望拿到奖牌的运动员。这是一条务实的路子。“
英国体育”甚至根除了“体制障碍”，也就是那些在国际上参加大赛但已经过了黄金期

February 11, 2011
Egyptians welcomed military rule Friday with a massive display of joy.
Protesters across Cairo reveled at the victory they had wrought, and
Egyptian reporters on cable TV channels were reduced to tears as they sought
to convey their happiness.
But many questions remain about what comes next — and there are strong
doubts about whether military rule will lead to the demonstrators' ultimate
goal: a credible transition to democracy.

升至26栋，熔岩喷发高度超过200英尺（61米）。大量有毒的二氧化硫气体从“熔岩裂
缝”中散出，浓度已达到“极度危险”级别。不过目前还没有人员伤亡的报告。
夏威夷官员说，这些被摧毁的房屋位于Leilani Estates区，在那里熔岩、有毒气体和
蒸汽已经从火山活动造成的地面裂缝喷出。当局进行航拍后上调了被摧毁的房屋数量。
由于火山活动加剧，有1700名居民疏散，其中一些人可能长时间难以返家。
37岁的单身母亲Amber Makuakane对美联社表示，她在Leilani Estates的三居室房屋遭
到熔岩摧毁。
Makuakane说，周五（5月4日）出现的一条裂缝正好穿过这间住宅，当时“院子里喷出
了一些蒸汽，但一切看起来都很好”。
周六（5月5日），她收到安全系统发出的警报，显示房屋的运动传感器已经被触发。后
来熔岩覆盖了她的家。
地质学家说，夏威夷州的基拉韦厄火山喷发出的熔岩继续流入大岛（Big Island）上的
居民区，可能会通过更多的裂缝释放更多的熔岩。
