雖然因為歐債危機的惡化，奧運開幕式僅有2700萬英鎊的預算，但是由英國著名導演博伊爾（Danny Boyle）執導的開幕式依然吊足了全球觀眾胃口。開幕式靈感來自英國大文豪莎士比亞作品《暴風雨》（The Tempest），將繪聲繪色地帶領全球10以觀眾一同回溯英國歷史、感受英國文化。點燃聖火台的人選及點燃方式也讓全球引頸期盼，而英國皇室家族三代同堂也會是一道獨特的風景線。

【大紀元2012年07月27日訊】（大紀元記者陳俊村綜合編譯）為紀念2012年倫敦奧運，捷克藝術家瑟尼（David Cerny）創作了一輛擁有兩條巨型手臂的巴士在街頭展示，它不但會做俯臥撐（push-up，或稱伏地挺身），還會發出喘氣聲，猶如一隻巴士怪獸，令人印象深刻。$ l, Y$ H( c% }0 W

倫敦街頭四處可見具代表性的紅色雙層巴士。瑟尼向一名荷蘭人購買了一輛1957年出廠、重達6噸的這種巴士，將其加裝兩條醒目的紅色手臂與引擎，使手臂能支撐巴士並上下運動，如同俯臥撐的動作；同時配上喘氣聲和窗戶投影，使其更具特色。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。# ~* M( q  _( g* G

出生於1967年的瑟尼畢業於布拉格藝術、建築和設計學院（Academy of Arts , Architecture and Design），目前在布拉格工作。他先前曾創作過不少大型的作品，包括懸掛在歐盟總部、以歐盟國家為底拼組起來的藝術品「Entropa」。與先前的作品比較，此次的「倫敦推進器」顯得較不具爭議性。

! J  N" y8 g8 y- P3 Z! B公仔箱論壇    　據德國媒體報導，倫敦奧運會許多國家、地區紛紛祭出高額獎金鼓舞選手。報導中說，金牌獎金最高的是亞美尼亞的70萬歐元，約新台幣2580萬元（以下同）。其次是鄰近的亞塞拜然的2358萬元，然後是新加坡的2122萬元，台灣的1200萬元排第4名。

    　台灣鄰近的東協國家經濟發展迅速，如馬來西亞金牌獎金有1160萬元之譜，已和台灣相去不遠；菲律賓則為941萬元，也相當不錯。

    　至於地主國英國選手都是為女王伊莉莎白二世而戰，榮譽至上、沒有獎金，但國家會為金牌選手發行肖像郵票，也會將其家鄉的郵筒漆成金色以示榮寵。
