　　Queen Elizabeth's virtuosoperformance as the "Bond girl" star of the Olympic opening ceremony crowns a majestic 15-year special operation that has recast the monarch as the people's champion of a cool Britannia.

　　Bond girl：邦女郎

　　the Olympic opening ceremony：奥运会开幕式

　　Escortedby James Bond, played by actor Daniel Craig, in a helicopter gliding over a cheering London, the 86-year-old queen was shown apparently leaping out with a Union Jack parachutefor an Olympic arrival to trump all others.

　　gliding over：飞过

　　Union Jack：英国国旗

　　The debutfilm role for the second-longest-serving monarch in British history marks the pinnacle of years of subtle change that has opened up the once painfully solemn royal family since the 1997 death of Princess Diana.

　　the second-longest-serving monarch:在位时间第二长的君主

　　the pinnacle of:顶峰

　　Princess Diana：戴安娜王妃

　　"There was a lightness of touch about what the queen did at the Olympics- it was absolutely right," said Simon Lewis, who as the queen's Communications Secretary from 1998 to 2000 helped to polish the monarch's reputation after the death of Diana.

　　the queen's Communications Secretary：女王的公关秘书

　　polish the monarch's reputation：改善王室的声誉

　　"It was perfectly judged and completely fitting for the occasion," Lewis told Reuters. "The monarchy in 2012 is the product of a great deal of careful thinking over a long time and some quite sensible, small steps along the way."

　　fitting for the occasion：符合时代潮流

　　Polls show the sovereign remains enormously popular among English, Scots, Welsh and Irish who turned out in their millions in June for a Diamond Jubilee party that celebrated 60 years of service spanning a dozen premiers from Winston Churchill to David Cameron.

　　enormously popular among：在……中极受欢迎

　　Diamond Jubilee party：钻石庆典(登基60周年庆典)

　　Dignified and serene, and now with just a glint of mischievoushumor, it is the queen herself who has directed the makeoverfor a Britain grappling with long-term decline and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

　　the Great Depression：经济大萧条

　　"The queen was the star of the show - she was bloody wonderful," said a Scottish soldier serving at the Olympics who only gave his name as Jimi because he was not authorized by his superiors to speak to the media.

　　"She was the best bit," he said. "I think it shows the people another side to her. I think the people love her but since the Jubilee and after this a lot of people see just what a wonderful queen she is."
