科技奥运英语演讲稿

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:

Bidding for the Olympic Games, in a way, an image-creating
undertaking. The first and foremost thing is to let people
fall in love with the city at first sight, attracting them by
its unipue image. What image does Beijing
intend to create for itself once it has the opportunity
to host the 2008 Olympics?

It is known to all that the Beijing Municipal Government
has already set the theme for the future games: New
Beijing, Great Olympics. For me, the 2008 Olympics
will be a great green Olympics illuminated with two
more special colors, yellow and red.

First, yellow is a meaningful color. The Yellow River is
China''s Mother River and the descendants of the
Yellow Emperor. This color has a special origin and
great significance for the Chinese people. Beijing
is the capital of New China and previously the
capital for nine dynasties in Chinese history.
So, yellow will naturally add splendor to the
2008 Games.

Secondly, the 2008 Olympics will be a red
pageant.Red is another traditionally cherished
color for the whole country. We adore red. On
big occasions, we like to decorate our homes
in red. It is the color of double happiness,
representing joyous moments, auspiciousness,
enthusiasm and prosperity. Red is one of the
most suitable colors to describe the future
of Beijing . Beijing , together with the whole
country, is becoming more and more prosperous
in the process of modernization. Should the
2008 Olympics be held in Beijing, the whole
city will be a sea of red : the red torch,red
flags, red flowers, and the radiant faces of
millions of joyful people.

Above all, the 2008 Olympics will be a green
Olympics. Adding a green ingredient is essential
in creating an appealing image, as we can''t deny
the fact that Beijing, at the moment, is not as green
a city as what we like it to be. Striving for an
environmentally appealing city has become a
central task for all the citizens of Beijing. Big
efforts have been made in pollution control,
replanting and beautification of the city.
According to a project entitled" The Green
Olympic Action Plan", between 1998 and 2007,
Beijing, we have invested 100 billion RMB in
preserving and protecting the environment.
Some 12.5 million trees and over 1 million
acres of grass will be planted along the
Fourth Ring Road. By then, the city''s green
area will make up 40% of its total. The city
will also dredge its reservoirs used as a water
supply to Beijing residents, controlling industrial
pollution and moving out the 200 factories
presently located within the city proper.

Certainly, all of this is no easy task. But I
am sure that all of us have confidence that
we will realize these green goals. For now
we have the full support and participation
of the environmentally conscious citizens. Each
citizen is showing great concern for every
one of the steps the city government takes.
As the saying goes, United, we stand, and a
green Beijing will be achieved.

When our aspiration becomes a reality, it will
be a unique Olympics." New Beijing, Great
Olympics"; will be weaved of these three
superb colors: yellow, red and green.

Let us welcome it and look forward to it! Thank you!
