新浪体育讯 英国一名17岁网友日前因涉嫌在微博(Twitter)上侮辱英国跳水神童汤姆-戴利而被逮捕，目前多塞特郡警方正就此案展开调查。 30日，戴利和队友皮特-沃特菲尔德在伦敦奥运男子10米高台双人跳水决赛中惨遭失利，虽然两人在中途一度取得领先，但随后被中国组合曹缘/张雁全后来居上。最终东道主组合仅名列第四，无缘登上领奖台，这一结果让英伦观众大失所望。 赛后，一位网名“Rileyy_69”的少年在微博(Twitter)上发泄道：“你让你爸蒙羞，我希望你明白这一点。(You let your dad down i hope you know that.)”岂料戴利不久即亲自回复了该少年，他言辞激动的写道：“当已付出所有后.....发现有蠢蛋发给我这个。”戴利的父亲去年因脑癌而去世，他在赛前曾表示希望拿下双人金牌并将它献给亡父，并强调父亲是他参加奥运会最大的动力。这名网友的留言显然深深刺痛了戴利的心。 在英国媒体的爆炒下，多塞特郡警方不得不出面调查此事，并于随后发表声明称：“一名17岁少年今天凌晨因涉嫌口出恶言在韦茅斯一家酒店被多塞特郡警方拘捕。调查仍在进行中。”(志诚) http://www.kansascity.com/2012/07/31/3733395/uk-police-arrest-man-over-twitter.html UK police arrest man over Twitter insult THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON -- Police say a man has been arrested in connection to Twitter postings directed at British Olympic diver Tom Daley. Daley's father died of brain cancer a year ago and the 18-year-old Olympian had hoped win a medal "for myself and my dad." But he finished fourth on Monday in the 10-meter synchronized platform with teammate Pete Waterfield. Afterward, a Twitter user sent him several negative messages, including: "You let your dad down i hope you know that." Dorset Police said early Tuesday that a 17-year-old man was arrested at a guest house in Weymouth "on suspicion of malicious communications" in relation to Twitter threats made against Daley.

伦敦奥运开幕式确实值得表扬。它与北京奥运开幕式相比的低调体现了英国人识时务为俊杰的睿智。 并非所有的国家都有资格办中国那样的奥运开幕式。奥运开幕式展现的形象得与国家的地位相称。如果国力一般，却极显夸张，就像一个县令出行却打出王侯的排场，那是不合时宜的。 伦敦奥运开幕式导演 Danny Boyle就是个睿智的人。他说， 英国曾经是地球上最强大的国家，但今天它在世界事务中的角色已经降低，因此英国人应该谦虚一点，英国人开始明白自己在世界的地位。100年前英国率先工业革命，领导了世界，但世界已经变了，英国已经没有那么多的资源可以与北京争高低。 伦敦奥运会开幕式恰到好处，在于其得体。毕竟英国已经只是几个岛屿。 http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20120729/olympics2012/Beijing-show-liberated-us-says-Boyle.430609 Britain, which used to be the most powerful nation on earth, was being forced to come to terms with a reduced role in the world. “You know, this is our land, really. These are our islands. And this will be the last time we get something like this. There has to be a modesty.... you can’t get grandiose with this job because you are following Beijing,” said Boyle. “It is a late call for our nation, I think because we are learning our new place in the world,” he added. “One hundred years ago we were everything and obviously the Industrial Revolution is partly about that, but there’s a change.” “We don’t have as many resources and that’s fine, that’s a good thing, really. “And the world has changed in terms of Europe since then. You have to be sensible about it,” he added.
四年一度的世界体育盛会奥林匹克运动会正在英国伦敦来开帷幕，北京的亲友暴雨水灾刚过，居然通宵不眠等候着凌晨四点的开幕式现场直播。美国人民也翘首以待，结果收到通告：美国人民将在今晚收看现场的录像。美国人无可奈何的伤心愤怒了。 Pete • Harlingen, Texas • 14 minutes ago Why can't I watch the Olympics live????? I thought FOX would carry it CNN isn't ABC CBS NBC, nothing. How is it I can't watch. Bet the Chinese and Indians, and Europe all get to watch but me joe bloe American can't. I'm hurt and furious!!!! steam'n 1 minute 24 seconds ago they probably feel they have to protect us from watching if something should happen. we're told we're number 1, but get treated like number 12. mookymooky 7 minutes ago Sucks. I tried various sites and they are all disallowing streams to any US IP address. I guess NBC will be the only venue to watch the games on...unless you can mask your IP address to make it appear as if you're viewing from another country. Personally I prefer to watch foreign broadcasts because they focus on the events and less on color commentary and marketing then U.S. broadcasts. 真是无语了
