在7月份奥运会开幕式之前,方方面面都被一个个坏消息"精心"填满。最近当选连任伦敦市长的鲍里斯•约翰逊(Boris Johnson)公布了一项指导意见,总体来说,就是建议那些在奥运会期间想要在伦敦走走逛逛的人,最好采用步行或是骑自行车的方式,或是干脆就呆在家中。地铁乘客得知,在地铁各个主要换乘点,可能至少要等上一个小时,才能像沙丁鱼一样被塞进火炉一般的车厢。即使在最好的时候,夏日酷暑也会让地铁乘客们一个个蔫头耷脑。约翰逊似乎是在发出这样的奥运会邀请:欢迎来到地狱。
Some folk will manage to reach the Olympic park. There they will be stripped of any food and drink they might be carrying to sustain them during the spectacle. How else to force them to pay the exorbitant prices that will be demanded by official franchisees?
经过一番努力,有些人将终于能够进入奥林匹克公园。为了不在观看表演时饿肚子,他们也许会随身带上食物,但在那里,他们的一切食物和饮料都将被没收。除此以外,还有什么办法迫使他们购买官方特许经销商出售的高价食品呢?
Businesses have been forewarned. Lest the transport network completely implode companies have been told to slash the numbers of employees commuting into the centre. Workers will stretch their vacations or spend time with their laptops in the garden. Never mind the economy is in recession.
