　　Every Olympic ceremony that I’ve seen since has been a buzzkill by comparison. I don’t know why I keep expecting them to be so great…
　　Yes. China’s opening ceremony was breath-taking and spectacular, and in my opinion, easily trounces any other ceremony that I’ve seen before or since.
　　以前看的奥林匹克都不怎么样，不知道为什么我还抱着很强烈的期待。
　　是的，中国奥运会的开幕式令人叹为观止，远远超过我之前看过的任何一届奥运会开幕式。
　　The sheer scale, the length, the size of the space, the culture, the number of people, the choreography, the combination of technology and stagecraft and raw human beings…
　　It all came together into something transcendentally beautiful and fantastical.
　　Even though my family just watched it on TV, I still remember the powerful feeling that it carried with it.
　　庞大的规模、悠久的文化、参与的人数、复杂的编排、先进的演出技术……一切都融合在超然的美好和梦幻中。虽然只在电视上观看，但我仍记得它带来的强烈视觉冲击。
　　It was like when I watched a rendition of the Nutcracker in the Bardavon Opera House as a child.. whatever that feeling was, it was very similar. Back when the world seemed bigger and brighter. The wonder, the spectacle, the darkness, the quiet awe, gazing down at the stage from a great height while sitting snugly in winter clothes alongside my family..
　　The feeling was almost exactly the same for me. That’s a powerful thing.

　　就像我小时候在Bardavon歌剧院看到的《胡桃夹子》演出一样，这种感觉很相似。那时世界似乎变得更大更明亮了。从舞台高处向下俯视，我与家人穿着冬装舒适地坐在一起……

　　With a budget of over $100 million, the 2008 Beijing opening ceremony was not short on grandeur. Telling the story of China’s 4,000 year history is no small feat and Beijing pulled it off spectacularly. It boasted 15,000 performers over a huge four hour performance. 2,008 drummers welcomed the 91,000+ spectators to the Bird’s Nest. My favorite part was the Silk Road with all of the extravagant costumes and the giant scroll unwinding. All things considered I believe that Beijing was the best ceremony in recent memory and probably also the best of all time.

　　预算超过1亿，2008年北京开幕式并不缺少宏伟景象。
　　此次开幕式讲述了中国4000年历史，这是不小的成就，北京也做到了极致。
　　4小时的演出中，有1.5万人参与。2008名鼓手欢迎91000名观众来到鸟巢。
　　我最喜欢的部分是丝绸之路，服装奢华，巨大的卷轴展开。
　　总而言之，我认为北京开幕式是近来最好的开幕式，有可能是历届奥运会开幕式做得做好的。
　　2008个铜缶击响，欢迎世界来到2008北京奥运会。

　　I’ve only seen a few opening ceremonies in my lifetime but yes the opening of the 2008 games was the best in my opinion. It wasn＂t just extravagant and spectacular, it was also meant to display China’s rise to near-superpower status.

　　Yes, everything about it was just magical and a great spectacle to see for anyone around the world. The choreography and performance surpassed everyone and all future host countries will be looking to imitate what they did eight short years ago.
　　是的，一切都很神奇，对世界各地的人而言，北京奥运会是个伟大的奇观。
　　编排表演超越一切，是未来奥运会主办国效仿的样板。
