It had been an increasingly tense and awkward several

days for the Olympic hosts, who've been packing the

stands when medals have been on the line in their

targeted events - hoping and praying and grimacing and

waving little Union Jacks.

對(duì)于本屆奧運(yùn)會(huì)的東道主英國(guó)人來(lái)說(shuō)，過(guò)去幾天里氣氛越來(lái)越緊

張和尷尬。當(dāng)本應(yīng)萬(wàn)無(wú)一失的獎(jiǎng)牌岌岌可危時(shí)，英國(guó)人正成群結(jié)

隊(duì)地坐在觀眾席上，他們憧憬著、祈禱著，做著鬼臉，或揮舞著

手中的小國(guó)旗。
