Dear Canadian Friends,
亲爱的加拿大朋友,
We are gathered here again this evening, in your wonderful country, after 16 unforgettable days. The Olympic Games are a celebration of humanity, and together we have experienced many strong emotions.
在这个神奇的国度,经过了16天之后今天晚上我们再度相聚,奥林匹克是人类欢聚的盛会,我们度过了许多动情的时刻。
We have shared the grief of an Olympic dream cut short. The memory of Nodar Kumaritashvili will always be with us. We have shared the joy of dreams fulfilled. We have been moved by tears of elation and tears of disappointment. We have witnessed extraordinary acts of courage and exceptional determination by athletes who refused to give up.
我们共同为一个奥运之梦的突然结束感到悲伤,库马里塔什威利将被我们永远铭记。我们共同为更多的奥运梦想得以实现感到鼓舞,兴奋或是失望的泪水让我们感动。我们也共同见证了运动员们满怀勇气和决心,在困难面前誓不低头。
Thank you to the people of Canada, for your generous hospitality, your warmth, and this unique and joyous celebration of Olympism.
