First: City to Host a Third Time 第一次：第三次举办奥运会的城市 Having previously hosted in 1908 and 1948, London proved itself to be a gracious host, as it will soon come to host more times than has any other city. With everything it has in store this year, it will have no trouble winning over the Olympic Committee a fourth time. 伦敦1908年和1948年举办奥运会后，世人公认其为一位和蔼可亲的东道主，相比其他城市，它将创举办次数之最。随着今年奥运会一切蓄势待发，第四次赢得奥运会主办权对伦敦来说不是什么难事。 First: Completed Venue, the Velodrome 第一次：完成对自行车室内赛场的建设 The first completed venue of the Olympic Park was the Velopark’s Velodrome, a giant indoor cycling track. Fitting the “green” theme of the games, the venue is outfitted with rooflights to cut back on artificial lighting, and natural vents to minimize air conditioner usage. Also, the roof is designed to collect rainwater as a supplemental water source. 奥林匹克公园中最早建成的就是自行车赛车场——一个巨型的室内自行车赛道。该场馆与本届奥运会“绿色环保”的主题相呼应，采用了采光屋顶以减少使用人工照明，使用自然通风也减少了空调的使用。同时，房顶的设计使其能收集雨水来作为补充水源。 First: Broadcast in 3D |
