时事新闻:伦敦奥运火炬揭晓 遭网民讥讽

This is the golden torch that will be carried by the 8,000 runners on the London 2012 relay.

伦敦近日公布了2012年夏季奥运会的金色火炬，届时将有八千名火炬手接力传递。

The Olympic Flame will burn from a curved triangular aluminium tube which has a lace-like mesh complete with 8,000 holes - one to represent each torchbearer.

2012年伦敦奥运圣火将在火炬内的三面锥体铝管内点燃，外层为花边网状结构，表面有八千个圆圈，代表八千名火炬手。

But some critics have taken to the internet to label the design of the torch reminiscent of a 'cheese grater'.

但某些批评人士在网上指出，这款火炬的设计类似于一个“奶酪刨丝器”。

The triangular shape of the torch also symbolises the three times that London has staged the Games - 1908, 1948 and 2012. This is a special feat in Olympic history.

火炬的三面锥形设计还象征着伦敦举办的三届奥运会，分别在1908年、1948年和2012年，堪称奥运历史上的辉煌成就。
