悉尼先驱晨报编辑 Stephen Hutcheon 在他博客上发布一篇文章: 假的万里长城。
文章列出长串北京奥运所谓中国“造假”事件,用来影视中国运动员取得的成绩也是假的。
文章具体不翻译了,他给的图片就很“震撼”了。
On Wednesday, Beijing Olympic vice-president Wang Wei, accused the foreign media of nitpicking:
"We welcome the people and the colleagues of the Olympic Games with usand we welcome suggestions that are constructive advice from thesepeople, all kinds of peoples. But the foreign press, you come here topick, critically dig into details, but that doesn't mean we don'tfulfil on our promises. "
Although he didn't specify which details we are supposed to be picking on, it's clear that the organisers are in a huff about:
:: the blow-up about internet access that hit the fan before the Games got underway;
:: the discovery that fake fireworks were used in the broadcast of the opening ceremony;
:: the fake singer Lin Miaoke, who lip synced to a pre-recorded rendition of the patriotic Chinese song Ode to the Motherland sung be Yang Peiyi.
:: the fake minority children at the opening ceremony;
:: and they're probably also unhappy about reports about empty stands and the absence of spectators.
My colleague Jacquelin Magnay pulls it together today in a piece about the growing crediblity gap.
"... the Chinese attempts to manipulatethe messages that are conveyed around the world through the writtenpress has backfired."
In the interest of documenting these faux pas, I've assembled a gallery of fake Olympic moments:
1.假焰火
假唱
假少数民族儿童
假观众

假海滩

假恐怖袭击

假蓝天
The Beijing skyline today. It's only this clear because half ofBeijing's private cars are off the road and they've shut down all theconstruction sites.
More of the same:
假年龄
.
Chinese gymnast He Kexin who's supposed to be aged 16, but there's been some suggestions that she's only 14-years-old.
假风
The night of the opening ceremony was hot and still. Not a breath ofwind about. Yet when the Chinese and Olympic flags hit the top of theflagpole, they immediately snapped out - suggesting there was some windmachine in use.
