　　Being part of The London 2012 Inspire Programme itself has already made me feel like inspired， but it can never be as powerful as truly coming into the real British Embassy.
　　参与2012伦敦奥运会的体育报道已经让我倍感兴奋，但当我来到了英国大使馆后更让我振奋。

　　They say that entering the gate of one country‘s embassy is like having stepped on their own territories already. And at my first step in UK， I didn’t know I‘d saw something that would inspire me in such a soft way--- Cute but serious building style， a green tennis court and a swimming pool， wooden coffee tables with huge shade umbrellas and chairs…despite my previous “magnificent” imagination， the real embassy feels more like home， like a tiny comfortable British community with family in it. After a couple of blinks outside， we were led to a room which was more like a bar with dart boards on the wall. And that’s where we had our interview.
　　有人说当你进入一个国家的大使馆就等同于你已经踏上了这片沃土。从我来到英国，眼前所有的一切都让我感到真实和亲切--可爱但不失庄重的建筑，绿色的网球场和游泳池,木制的咖啡桌椅，巨大的遮阳伞。在我的想象中大使馆应该是个"宏伟"建筑，但是真正的大使馆感觉更像家里,就像一个微小的舒适的英国社区与家人住在一起。我们被带到一个房间,更像个酒吧飞镖板挂在墙上。这就是我们的见闻。

　　Named Gao Leizhong in Chinese， John Gallagher， the News Director of British Embassy， took our interview. His smart look and magnetic British accent may freak out some of our girls but luckily I‘m ok：) We asked more a dozen questions about Olympics or UK and John seemed comfortable as we were sitting face to face. When it’s my turn， I raised a question about the sustainability of Olympics‘ architects & venue for achieving the idea of Zero Waste Olympic Games and got some adorable answers. He gave three examples of the Olympic architects to show the technological designs and how many efforts the UK had made to keep green. They even got the soil washed in the factories and industrial areas to make sure the sites are clean. Most impressively， all of the architects will maintain where they are after the Games. “We want to leave something that future generation can enjoy，” John said，“ and show the world a modern London.”
　　约翰·加拉格尔,英国大使馆的新闻主任,中国名叫高雷钟，接受了我们的采访。他有着英俊的外表和带有磁性的英国口音可能会让女生们发疯,但我还好:)我们询问了一系列问题关于伦敦奥运、英国，我们坐在面对面约翰显得很自然。轮到我提出一个问题是关于奥运会的可持续性架构和场所实现“零浪费”的想法奥运会，得到了一些喜人的答案。他给我们举了的三个例子，奥林匹克建筑师来显示技术上的设计和英国有多少努力来保持绿色奥运。他们甚至得到了土壤冲在工厂和工业领域,以确保干净。最令人印象深刻的是所有的架构师会随时待命直到奥运会结束后。“我们想留下点什么给未来的一代。”约翰这样说。

　　Leave Something That Future Generation Can Enjoy. John had a point that corresponds with the slogan of London’s One Hundred Days Count Down——Inspire Generation. And when London means generation， it means the generation of the new world.
　　留下些什么给我们的下一代。约翰的观点正好和伦敦奥运会的口号相呼应——激励一代人。口号体现了伦敦申办奥运会时对世界的承诺。
