Happy Aussie Hung from Hongkong: 絢爛後仍存留的不滅星光

倫奧閉幕了，聖火熄滅了，爭金奪銅的激情消逸了，絢爛復歸平靜後，腦海裏仍存留幾點不滅的星光，那讓奧運精神仍得傳揚的人和事：-

1) 比賽第一、友誼至上 、 雖敗猶榮、相重相敬﹕

英国Victoria Pendleton和澳洲Anna Meares可說是單車場上的死敵，彼此的爭競激烈，從京奧一直延續至今，堪稱英澳板球两国歷史悠久的灰燼對抗賽Ash系列的翻版。在最終三盤兩勝的對決第一局，Victoria小勝0.1秒但被判越車道界線犯規, Anna結果乘勝追擊贏了第二局，可以是十分沮喪憤懣不甘的Victoria，卻馬上欣然向Anna申出友誼的手向她恭賀，充份顯現大將之風，拿得起放得下，惺惺相惜。雖輸了金牌，卻贏了世人的心。

這當然不是倫奧唯一的展現体育精神的鏡頭，中韓乒乓決戰後彼此搭膞的合照，美西籃球爭冠後两軍中一众NBA球員彼此擁抱致意，都是叫人難忘的片段！

Victoria Pendleton and Anna Meares have been at war on the bike for a decade – the final meeting at the Olympic final in the individual sprint brought tears but also relief.

In this final race, she could not hold off Meares and as they came down the back-straight one last time, there was little doubt. Meares, who had been demolished by Pendleton in this final four years ago, celebrated even before she crossed the line.

After the loss of her final race, she genuinely brought her own hands together for Meares and, in a graceful and touching moment, linked arms with her old enemy. The rivals ducked their heads and smiled together – after each had cried some more in between the finish of their race and the closing ceremony. And then Pendleton wrapped her arm around Meares's waist and said a few more words of congratulations to the new Olympic champion.

What a remarkable ending of an elite athlete's professional life by not winning gold but winning hearts of the world. She is forever remembered as the Queens and the Lion Heart of the Bike Sport.

Ha, Ha, the humour of the GB team has reached its hype when David Beckham played as director in producing this Youtube video entitled "Don't Stop Me Now by Team GB" Olympic medallists Sir Chris Hoy, Jessica Ennis, Victoria Pendleton, Louis Smith and Pete Reed are joined by a number of other athletes from Team GB in their own version of Queen's 'Don't Stop Me Now' - celebrating the success of London 2012.

2) 倫奧 推崇的世界大同和平理念，在閉幕禮看到端倪！已故披頭四主唱約翰連儂1971年錄製的「想像」一段珍貴片段首度曝光。搭配手語象徵無國界的溝通，同時舞蹈員在舞台用拼圖，拼出約翰連儂的臉，瞬間又幻化成一片雪白氣球升空，傳達世界和平的信息。英国主辦單位，亦透過開幕點聖火的世代傳承，和閉幕熄聖火將204個火盆傳送往204 個国家，極具象徵性地把和平、仁愛、互助的火种傳揚散播!

約翰連儂平實清唱「想像」這一曲，可說是馬丁路德金的「我有一個夢想」的英国版本，曲詞簡單純樸但直觸世人心底和平博愛的渴求。叫單純的 Happy Hung , 縱使毫不認同「想像」一曲當中的無神論的思想 (*)，但那份在亂世中找清源的摯誠 ，仍深深感动我，難以遣懷！

《 imagine 想像》- 約翰連儂 John Lennon

1) Imagine there's no Heaven 想像人死後沒有天堂
It's easy if you try 應該很容易如果你試著這樣想
No hell below us 也沒有地獄的煎熬
Above us only sky 舉頭只有天空
Imagine all the people 想像世間所有的人們
Living for today 只為眼前而活
(*)此第一段在倫奧閉幕式中並未被播放，大概與其無神論思想有關。我雖絕不認同無神論，但覺得不應删節以尊重作者欲表達之原意！其實約翰連儂的大同世界，只有在神的国度恢復時才能實現！播出來反可叫人反思人類現世代的問題，源於無神論下個人主義的極端發展！

2) Imagine there's no countries 想像這是個沒有國家的世界
It isn't hard to do 其實這並不難
Nothing to kill or die for 那便再沒有殺戳或拼個死活的必要
And no religion too 也不再需要宗教
Imagine all the people 想像世間所有的人們
Living life in peace 共存在和平裏

3) You may say that I'm a dreamer 也許你覺得我在癡人作夢
But I'm not the only one 但作夢的不只我一人
I hope someday you'll join us
我希望有一天你也能加入我們

And the world will be as one 世界就會因愛合而為一

4) Imagine no possessions 想像 世上沒有個人財產
I wonder if you can 我懷疑你可以做得倒
No need for greed or hunger 就不會有人貪婪有人挨餓
A brotherhood of man 人們情同手足
Imagine all the people 想像世間所有的人們
Sharing all the world 分享全世界的美好
