倫敦奧運開幕式的感動時刻

倫奧開幕式給我最大的感動，就是點火儀式 ！它本就是所有奧運的高潮， 一般都是挑選主辦國体育成就最突出的運動員獨挑大樑去最後點燃火盆 ，用意是表揚獎勵個人成就。澳洲奧運 2000 ，便是選派為澳洲田徑爭光的原住民裔的 Kathy Freeman.。今次倫奧最後點火人如常保 密 ，最熱門的揣測是英国足球明星大衛碧咸 ，但最後的安排卻出人意表，請看以下報導 ！

The Olympic flame ended its 12,800-mile journey in surprising fashion early Saturday morning in London when seven youngsters lit the Olympic cauldron in front of 80,000 spectators at the Opening Ceremony in Olympic Stadium.

After being passed the torch by Olympic legend Steve Redgrave, the seven young athletes received flames from seven legends of the Games and simultaneously lit 200 miniature torches that rose together to form a breathtaking cauldron in the center of the stadium.

The cauldron's lighting ends years of speculation that began almost immediately after London was awarded the Olympics in 2005. Instead of going with a big name -- Queen Elizabeth, David Beckham, Roger Bannister, Chris Hoy and five-time gold medalist Steve Redgrave had all been discussed as potential candidates -- Boyle went the egalitarian route, choosing seven teenagers of varying backgrounds to accept from the flame from seven legends. It was a symbolic, if unsubtle, passing of the torch.

這一反傳统的安排，將代表奧運精神的火棒， 從一眾具卓越成就而聲名顯赫的老手，傳承到 七個不同運動領域的新手。他們的名字甚至都 沒在報章中被報導出來，卻繞有意義地联手點燃了火盆；其設計又是別出心裁的反傳統 ， 非大鍋一個，乃由205小火盆組成，用長支柱 接連成圓環狀。所有火盆被邁燃著後，緩緩被 舉升，最後205點小 火球，滙聚形成了一團大 火球，表徵著205參賽国同心參與發揮和平合 一博愛的人類 生命中美善的光輝。那种普世 胸懷，是歷來所未見，叫本已沒落的大不列顛 復顯大国氣度！

鏡頭在支柱中心基部向上仰視，當個別小火盆 較弱的火光，在上空漸漸靠攏聚合，最終把天 空遮蔽，爆發出強力耀目光芒！那一刻令我馬 上联想到明天香港的反国民洗腦教育的大遊行，是由一群無名之輩的家長、和年青少年十五 、二十的 「學民思潮」主導的非政治黨派的民 間醒覺運動，不就是小燭光变自由光炬的最 佳寫照嗎？

Steve Redgrave took the torch from Beckham and brought it into the stadium.

Steve passed the torch to the seven nameless young sport persons.

They took turn to hoist it for a while when running for a lap as one
team. Then they used this torch to ignite 6 more torches. 

They then proceeded to  lit the Olympic cauldron in front of 80000 spectators  

The lit  Olympic cauldron slowly being raised up towards the centre skyward.

Gradually it formed a half globe shape.

Eventually turned into a great fire of the  Olympic cauldron.

205 smaller lights together make a great fire ball radiating great light.

還有兩則英式幽默，利用兩知名演艺人物‧Mr Bean 和Mr Bond幽自己一默！叫人莞爾一笑.

Mr Bean 在交响樂隊演奏烈火戰車主題曲中負責一節拍單音,

由於太單調了,Mr Bean边彈边作無聊事甚至發起白日夢，
打敗 烈火戰車 的冠軍，夢醒時已屆曲終人散！

英女皇竟破格客串與Mr Bond演對手戲‧竟誇張到以空降為進場式！

 英女皇放下身段，與民同樂，誠難能可貴，但她出場時面有蘊色 ， 亦見其率真性情！

場館佈置成歷史場景，由農莊田園時代‧進入工業革命！

最後，不得不一題澳洲担大旗手是女籃隊長 Lauren Jackson ，是澳洲近廿年來少數女性大 旗手， 其實乃經女權運動大力遊說爭取後的決定，亦算是民主社會的產物！
