2012伦敦奥运会的十个“第一次”

2012-07-23来源:listverse

First: Eco-Conscious Games
第一次:环保比赛

A paradox is presented as the London games celebrate both the Industrial Revolution (a.k.a. the birth of pollution) and a spirit of committed environmentalism; London will be the first to actively measure its own carbon footprint during these games, designing a stadium and accommodations that cut-back on negative emissions when at all possible. They are also shooting for a world record via the “Javelin,” designed specifically to keep as many exhaust pipes at bay as humanly possible.
伦敦奥运会在纪念工业革命(可以说是污染的诞生)的同时也宣扬环保精神,这似乎是个悖论;伦敦将成为首个在奥运比赛期间测量自身碳排放量的城市,精心设计的大型体育馆和奥运村能从各个方面减少有害气体排放。他们同时通过“Javelin”来争取世界纪录,这一特殊设计竭尽所能保留了多个排气管。
