为完成这项艰巨任务,博伊尔为开幕式精心设计了一个开篇,其构思受到英国是绿色宜人土地这一提法的启发。绿色宜人的土地一语出自英国爱国歌曲《耶路撒冷》的歌词,英国诗人威廉?布莱克是歌词的作者。博伊尔希望通过开幕式演出捕捉到英国的关键元素,其中包括丰富的历史,当代文化,有趣的幽默感以及总能盛产摇滚明星这一特点。
The challenge is to make a show that will appeal both to a British audience and the expected billion or more viewers around the world. Mr. Boyle last month said he knows he wont be able to please everyone with the show. Youre bound to fail, he said good-naturedly. But, he added, ll try very hard not to.
博伊尔面临的挑战在于,他要执导一场既能吸引英国观众又能取悦全球数十亿电视观众的开幕式演出。博伊尔曾在上个月表示,他知道开幕式演出无法做到让每个人都满意。他和蔼地说,你注定要失败。不过他又说,我们将尽最大努力保证不失败。
Among dignitaries due to attend the show, which is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. local time, are U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron. Mr. Boyle and others have briefed the prime minister on the show, which, Mr. Cameron said, will contain one or two moments I think people will find really spine-tingling.
