Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee, delivers a speech during the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games in the National Stadium in north Beijing, China, on Aug. 8, 2008.

Mr. President of the People's Republic of China, Mr. Liu Qi, Members of the Organizing Committee, dear Chinese friends, dear athletes:

For a long time, China has dreamed of opening its doors and inviting the world's athletes to Beijing for the Olympic Games. Tonight that dream comes true. Congratulations, Beijing.

You have chosen as the theme of these Games "One World, One Dream". That is what we are tonight.

As one world, we grieved with you over the tragic earthquake in Sichuan Province. We were moved by the great courage and solidarity of the Chinese people. As one dream, may these Olympic Games bring you joy, hope and pride.

Athletes, the Games were created for you by our founder, Pierre de Coubertin. These Games belong to you. Let them be the athletes' Games. Have fun!

Remember, they are about much more than the performance alone. They are about the peaceful gathering of 204 national Olympic committees, regardless of ethnic origin, gender, religion or political system. Please compete in the spirit of the Olympic values, excellence, friendship and respect.

Dear athletes, remember that you are role models for the youths of the world. Reject doping and cheating. Make us proud of your achievements and your conduct.

As we bring the Olympic dream to life, our warm thanks go to the Beijing Organizing Committee for its tireless work. Our special thanks also go to the thousands of gracious volunteers, without whom none of this would be possible.

Beijing, you are a host to the present and a gateway to the future. Thank you.

I now have the honor of asking the President of the People's Republic of China to open the Games of the XXIX Olympiad of the modern era.

奧組委的成員們，

親愛的中國朋友們，

親愛的運(yùn)動(dòng)員們：

長久以來，中國一直夢想著打開國門，邀請世界各地的運(yùn)動(dòng)員來北京參加奧運(yùn)會(huì)。

今晚，夢想變成了現(xiàn)實(shí)，祝賀北京！

你們選擇“同一個(gè)世界，同一個(gè)夢想”作為本屆奧運(yùn)會(huì)的主題，今晚就是這個(gè)主題的體現(xiàn)。

我們處在同一個(gè)世界，所以我們像你們一樣，為四川的地震災(zāi)難而深感悲慟。中國人民的偉大勇氣和團(tuán)結(jié)精神使我們備受感動(dòng)。

我們擁有同一個(gè)夢想，所以希望本屆奧運(yùn)會(huì)帶給你們快樂、希望和自豪。

各位運(yùn)動(dòng)員，我們的創(chuàng)始人皮埃爾·德·顧拜旦是因?yàn)槟銈兌鴦?chuàng)立了現(xiàn)代奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)。奧運(yùn)會(huì)屬于你們。讓奧運(yùn)會(huì)成為運(yùn)動(dòng)員的盛會(huì)。祝你們比賽開心！

請大家牢記，奧運(yùn)會(huì)不僅僅意味著比賽成績。

奧運(yùn)會(huì)還是和平的聚會(huì)。204個(gè)國家和地區(qū)奧委會(huì)相聚于此，跨越了民族、性別、宗教以及政治制度的界限。

請大家本著奧林匹克的價(jià)值和精神，即卓越、友誼和尊重，投身于比賽。

親愛的運(yùn)動(dòng)員們，請記住，你們是世界青年的楷模，請拒絕興奮劑，向作弊說不。

你們的成就和表現(xiàn)應(yīng)該讓我們感到驕傲。

當(dāng)我們把奧林匹克夢想變成現(xiàn)實(shí)之時(shí)，我們要誠摯地感謝北京奧組委，感謝他們不辭勞苦的工作。我們還要特別感謝成千上萬、無私奉獻(xiàn)的志愿者們，沒有他們，這一切都不可能實(shí)現(xiàn)。

北京，你是今天的主人，也是通往明天的大門。感謝你！

現(xiàn)在，我榮幸地邀請中華人民共和國主席先生宣布第29屆夏季奧運(yùn)會(huì)開幕！
