Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen, Good afternoon!

主席先生，各位来宾，大家午安！

Before I introduce our cultural programs, only tell you one thing first about 2008. You're going to have a great time in Beijing.

在我介绍我们的文化项目之前，首先我要告诉你们一件有关于2008的事情，那就是你们将在北京度过一段美好的时光。

Many people are fascinated by China’s sport legends in the history. For example, back to Song Dynasty, which was the 11th century, people in our country started to play a game called Cuju, which is regarded as the origin of ancient football. The game was so popular that women were also participating. Now, you would probably understand why our women's football team does so well today.

很多人都对中国历史上的体育传奇感兴趣。例如，早在宋代，大约11世纪，人们开始玩一个叫蹴鞠的游戏，这被看作是足球古老的起源。这个游戏很受欢迎，妇女也来参加。现在，你就会明白，为什么我们的女子足球队这么厉害了。

There are a lot more wonderful and exciting events waiting for you in the New Beijing, a modern metropolis with 3,000 years of cultural treasures woven into the urban tapestry. Along with the iconic imagery of the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall, the city also offers an endless mixture of theatres, museums, discos, all kinds of restaurants and shopping malls which will amaze and delight you.
