[Boris Johnson, London Mayor]:
“There are going to be two fantastic sporting events in the summer of 2012 – Two climaxes, one is the Olympics and next is the Paralympic Games. And I really hope that people will sign up tomorrow for those tickets.”
伦敦市长包里斯强森说：“在2012年夏天会有两项很棒的运动盛事﹘两项高潮，一个是奥运，另一个是帕运。我非常希望大家明天可以报名预订那些门票。”

[Heinrich Popow, German Athlete]:
“You know in Athens, I think we start in Athens to get professional. In Beijing was good but the people was not into the sport, they didn’t know what happened on the track. I think in London we have the best professional games for us athletes.”
德国运动员海因里希波普夫说：“你知道在雅典，我认为我们在雅典开始变成专业。在北京时也不错，但是人们并没有太注意这项运动，他们不知道赛道上发生了什么事。对我们运动员来说，我觉得在伦敦我们有最好的专业比赛。”
