Ever since, the lighting of the Olympic cauldron has become the most hallowed moment of the Olympic games.

There were also complaints about a chain-link fence that surrounded the Olympic Cauldron. The fence has since been replaced with Plexiglas so fans can see and photograph the flame.

另外参观者对冬奥会主火炬围起了高高的金属网状栅栏的做法也提出抱怨，因此组织方将它改成了有机玻璃，这样人们就可以更清楚地观赏和拍摄这熊熊的圣火了。

The big German is unlikely to face any disciplinary measures for his exuberance, although officials did inspect the Olympic cauldron afterwards for possible damage. He was even allowed a lie-in yesterday.

这个德国大块头不会为他的精力勃勃的行为受到任何处理，昨天还被允许睡了个大懒觉。但是场内的官员的确在之后检查了奥运碗里的器材，是看否因此遭到任何可能的破坏。

The traditional release of live doves at the Olympic opening ceremony was abandoned after Seoul 1988, when around 10 chose not to swoop majestically across the sky but instead to settle on the rim of the Olympic cauldron just as it was being lit and were instantly burned to death.

1988年汉城奥运会后，奥运会开幕式上不再延续放飞鸽子的传统。因为在那一届奥运会开幕式上，大约有十只鸽子没有选择庄严地划过天空，而是停留在即将被点燃的奥运圣火边缘，接着立刻被烧死。

Dear friends, the Olympic cauldron is going to extinguish, but the passion of the Chinese people to embrace the world will not decline.

朋友们，熊熊燃烧的奥运圣火即将熄灭，但中国人民拥抱世界的热情之火将永远燃烧。

The campus has been designed by an all-star team that includes Thomas Heatherwick, the British designer behind London's 2012 Olympic cauldron, and Danish architect Bjarke Ingels.

这个园区由一个全明星团队设计，其中就包括伦敦2012奥运会火炬台的设计者、英国设计师托马斯·海德维克，以及丹麦建筑师比雅克·英格斯。

Next, he raced towards the Olympic cauldron, reached in, and attempted unsuccessfully to liberate one of the flaming prongs.

接着他绕着奥运碗奔跑，不断向前，还走到奥运圣火前差点将其中的一朵花瓣拿下来。

Olympic organisers injected a note of business competition into the proceedings by choosing former gymnast and entrepreneur Li Ning as the athlete to light the Olympic cauldron.

奥运会组织者向开幕式注入了商业竞争元素：他们选择前体操运动员、企业家李宁来点燃主火炬。

One of four pillars designed to rise from the stadium floor and form the Olympic cauldron malfunctioned, leaving the speedskater Catriona LeMay Doan unable to join in the lighting.

原设计是从场馆地面升起四根冰柱，共同组成奥运主火炬，但其中一根冰柱出现故障，导致速滑名将卡特里奥娜•勒梅•多恩无法参与点火。
