【专访伦敦奥委会主席塞巴斯蒂开场/结束/提纲】

 开场白：大家好，每一个来到英国的人都会来到这伦敦这个金融中心-来感受它的繁华和历史。一年前，我也同样站在这里，期待着一年后这座城市会因奥运会发生什么改变。一年过去了，伦敦准备好了吗？是经济危机下的奥运瘦身，还是城市复兴。而回答这个问题的关键人物就是现任伦敦奥组委主席塞巴斯蒂安。在距离奥运会开幕还有21天的日子，他在百忙中接受了我们的独家专访，而地点就在我身后的伦敦奥组委总部。

1. Lord Coe, today we come to visit you as the chairman of  the London Olympics, however, you are best known for being the only athlete in history who has won the 1500 meters Gold medal twice at the Olympics. Now, you are facing another Olympics but in a very different role. How do you define your finish line this time?

2. 7 years ago, when London was the winning bid for the 2012 Summer Games, what were your first thoughts? 7 years later, how many promises in your proposal have you fulfilled?

3. London is about to become the only city w

hich has hosted the Summer Olympics three times – before the current Games, in 1908 and 1948 respectively. Is London ready now? What is the new image of London you would like to present to the world?

4. When London was bidding for the Olympics, it promised the highest budget among the five bidding cities. But due to the financial crisis, budget cuts become a priority. How do you feel every morning you have to recalculate or even cut your budget plan?  On the other hand, what is the most exciting recent development for you regarding the Games?

5.Yes, what you said just reminded me of the classic line “To be or not to be.” So to seize the opportunity regardless of the challenge?

6. How do you respond to the concern that British taxpayers have paid too much to cover the cost of Olympics? How do you convince the British people that it will be a profitable Games as Prime Minister Cameron stated? Is the ticket revenue will be an important contributor? Given the 9 billion pounds investment, is the revenue from later uses of the infrastructure built even more significant?

7. Mr. Samaranch, the former IOC president was saying ““the success of an Olympic Games heavily depends on whether the Opening Ceremonies can impress and surprise the world.” Would you like to share with the Chinese audience a hint about what will impress them the most in the coming Opening Ceremonies?

8. My last two questions are from our audience. The first one is from Cherry Zhang, a college student from Shanghai. She is wondering “How do you set the price for tickets for the games and how could visitors have fun in London with reasonable budget? Second one is from Chris Li, a business consultant from Beijing, he is asking you “What kind of Olympic legacy are you seeking to leave when the games are over?”

结束语：

临别的时候，塞巴斯蒂安主席将他身上所佩带的象征着“奥运精神”的别针送给了我。到底什么是奥运精神呢？有人说记录动感时刻寻找生命极致；也有人说更快、更高、更強。在2012伦敦奥运会即将到来之际，我们感谢并祝福，那些坚守和追求奥运精神的人们。
