【Dates】(时间)
The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the 19th FIFA World Cup, an international tournament for football, that is scheduled to take place between 11 June and 11 July 2010 in South Africa. It will be the first time that the tournament has been hosted by a nation in the Confederation of African Football, leaving the Oceania Football Confederation as the only FIFA Confederation never to have hosted the event.。
【Host selection】(申办)
Africa was chosen as the host for the 2010 World Cup as part of a new policy to rotate the event between football confederations (This policy was later revoked in October of 2007). Five African nations placed bids to host the 2010 World Cup:。
* Flag of Egypt Egypt。
* Flag of Libya Libya / Flag of Tunisia Tunisia (co-hosting)。
* Flag of Morocco Morocco。
* Flag of South Africa South Africa。
Following the decision of the FIFA Executive Committee not to allow co-hosted tournaments, Tunisia withdrew from the bidding process. The committee also decided not to consider Libya's solo bid as it no longer met all the stipulations laid down in the official List of Requirements.。
After one round of voting, the winning bid was announced by FIFA president Sepp Blatter at a media conference on May 15, 2004 in Zurich. South Africa was awarded the rights to host the tournament, defeating Morocco and Egypt.[1]。
Results:
1. Flag of South Africa South Africa, 14 votes。
2. Flag of Morocco Morocco, 10 votes。
3. Flag of Egypt Egypt, 0 votes。
Flag of Tunisia Tunisia withdrew on May 8, 2004 after joint bidding was not allowed。
Flag of Libya Libya was rejected: bid did not meet the list of requirements and joint bidding was not allowed。
Qualification
As the host nation, South Africa qualifies automatically. However, South Africa are the first hosts since 1934 to participate in World Cup qualifiers. This is because the CAF qualifiers will also serve as the qualifying tournament for the 2010 African Cup of Nations, for which South Africa must qualify separately. Since 2002 the defending champions no longer qualify automatically.。
The preliminary draw for the 2010 World Cup was held in Durban, South Africa on 25 November 2007.。
【Venues】(地点)
In 2005, the organizers released a provisional list of thirteen venues to be used for the World Cup: Bloemfontein, Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg (two), Kimberley, Nelspruit, Orkney, Polokwane, Port Elizabeth, Pretoria (two), and Rustenburg. 。
【History of the FIFA World Cup】(历史)
No other sporting event captures the world's imagination like the FIFA World Cup. Ever since the first tentative competition in Uruguay in 1930, FIFA's (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) flagship has constantly grown in popularity and prestige.。
A group of visionary French football administrators, led in the 1920s by the innovative Jules Rimet, are credited with the original idea of bringing the world's strongest national football teams together to compete for the title of World Champions. The original gold trophy bore Jules Rimet's name and was contested three times in the 1930s, before the Second World War put a 12-year stop to the competition.。
When it resumed, the FIFA World Cup rapidly advanced to its undisputed status as the greatest single sporting event of the modern world. Held since 1958 alternately in Europe and the Americas, the World Cup broke new ground with the Executive Committee's decision in May 1996 to select Korea and Japan as co-hosts for the 2002 edition.。
Since 1930, the 19 tournaments have seen only seven different winners. However, the FIFA World Cup has also been punctuated by dramatic upsets that have helped create footballing history - the United States defeating England in 1950, North Korea's defeat of Italy in 1966, Cameroon's emergence in the 1980s and their opening match defeat of the Argentinean cup-holders in 1990....。
【Preparations】
Five new stadiums are to be built for the tournament (three match venues and two practice grounds), and five of the existing venues are to be upgraded. Construction costs are expected to be R8.4bn.。
In addition to the stadiums being built and upgraded, South Africa is also planning to improve its current public transport infrastructure, and implement special measures to ensure the safety and security of local and international tourists attending the matches in accordance with standard FIFA requirements.。
【Rumours of tournament being moved】
Rumours have circulated in various news sources that the 2010 World Cup could be moved to another country.[6][7] Some people, including Franz Beckenbauer, Horst R. Schmidt and, reportedly, some FIFA executives, have expressed concern over the planning, organisation, and pace of South Africa’s preparations.[8][6] However, FIFA officials have repeatedly expressed their confidence in South Africa as host, and have stated that the event will not be moved, with FIFA president Sepp Blatter re-iterating that "Plan A... Plan B... Plan C is that the 2010 World Cup will be staged in South Africa".[9][10] Mr. Blatter has stated that there is a contingency plan to hold the World Cup elsewhere but only in the event of a natural catastrophe, and that the 2006 World Cup in Germany also had a similar contingency plan.[11][10]。
Despite reassurances by FIFA that the event would only be moved in the case of natural catastrophe, rumours continue to circulate about possible relocation of the event.[12] These rumours have been criticised by South Africa's Deputy Finance Minister Jabu Moleketi, saying that some have targeted the event to reflect their persistent negativity towards South Africa and Africa.。
【Controversies】
Several non-governmental organisations and poor people's movements have expressed major concern about plans to regulate the prevalence of squatter camp shelters to improve the image of the World Cup venues. Concerns are particularly acute in Durban where local politicians have promised to 'clear the slums by 2010'.[14] It has also been argued that it is inappropriate to invest so much public money on stadia when much of the population lacks basic services and housing.。
Thirty-four new bus routes will open in Beijing from this month to improve public transport to and from Olympic venues, a transport official said Wednesday. 。
在星期三一则运输部门的官方消息指出.34条新的公车线路将从本月起在北京开通,这将改善始发和开往奥林匹克相关场地的公共交通状况.。
王新生,北京公交集团公司副总经理,在一个新闻简报中说其中10条线路.其将自7月20日起至9月20日止运行,这些线路将靠近奥林匹克的相关场地或者将沿着城市的新道路运行.。
他还说,这些线路将有标准的停靠站并且其中的7条线路将24小时运营.。
将用于北京奥运会的锂电池能源的公车及其在梦想世界(奥运村)于2008年7月6日北京建设完成的充电站已经为奥运会做好了准备.奥运期间,50辆锂电池能源的公共汽车将载着运动员们和官员们来往于比赛场馆和梦想世界.这种零辐射,低噪音和环保的公车非常符合绿色奥运的主题.。
王先生说,剩下的24路公车线路将采用一站式快速服务连接奥运场馆和其他地方. 这些线路将只在比赛日期之间运营以帮助人们到达并且离开场馆.。
他还说, 大约1500公共汽车将在新的线路上运行,其中一半将可以为残疾人提供上下方便, 在残奥会期间,新的线路中的16条线路继续运营,并且所有运行其上的600辆公共汽车都适合残疾人乘坐.。

The Official Mascots of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games 。
Like the Five Olympic Rings from which they draw their color and inspiration, the Five Friendlies will serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, carrying a message of friendship and peace--and blessings from China--to children all over the world. 。
Designed to express the playful qualities of five little children who form an intimate circle of friends, the Five Friendlies also embody the natural characteristics of four of China's most popular animals--the Fish, the Panda, the Tibetan Antelope, the Swallow--and the Olympic Flame. 。
In China's traditional culture and art, the fish and water designs are symbols of prosperity and harvest. And so Beibei carries the blessing of prosperity. A fish is also a symbol of surplus in Chinese culture, another measure of a good year and a good life. The ornamental lines of the water-wave designs are taken from well-known Chinese paintings of the past. Among the Five Friendlies, Beibei is known to be gentle and pure. Strong in water sports, she reflects the blue Olympic ring. 。
Each of the Friendlies has a rhyming two-syllable name--a traditional way of expressing affection for children in China. Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow. 。
When you put their names together--Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni--they say "Welcome to Beijing," offering a warm invitation that reflects the mission of the Five Friendlies as young ambassadors for the Olympic Games. 。
The Five Friendlies also embody both the landscape and the dreams and aspirations of people from every part of the vast country of China. In their origins and their headpieces, you can see the five elements of nature--the sea, forest, fire, earth and sky--all stylistic rendered in ways that represent the deep traditional influences of Chinese folk art and ornamentation. 。
Spreading Traditional Chinese Blessings Wherever They Go 。
In the ancient culture of China, there is a grand tradition of spreading blessings through signs and symbols. Each of the Five Friendlies symbolizes a different blessing--and will honor this tradition by carrying their blessings to the children of the world. Prosperity, happiness, passion, health and good luck will be spread to every continent as the Five Friendlies carry their invitation to Beijing 2008 to every part of the globe. 。
At the heart of their mission--and through all of their work--the Five Friendlies will seek to unite the world in peace and friendship through the Olympic spirit. Dedicated to helping Beijing 2008 spread its theme of One World, One Dream to every continent, the Five Friendlies reflect the deep desire of the Chinese people to reach out to the world in friendship through the Games--and to invite every man, woman and child to take part in the great celebration of human solidarity that China will host in the light of the flame in 2008. 。
In China's traditional culture and art, the fish and water designs are symbols of prosperity and harvest. And so Beibei carries the blessing of prosperity. A fish is also a symbol of surplus in Chinese culture, another measure of a good year and a good life. 。
The ornamental lines of the water-wave designs are taken from well-known Chinese paintings of the past. Among the Five Friendlies, Beibei is known to be gentle and pure. Strong in water sports, she reflects the blue Olympic ring. 。
Jingjing makes children smile--and that's why he brings the blessing of happiness wherever he goes. You can see his joy in the charming naivety of his dancing pose and the lovely wave of his black and white fur. As a national treasure and a protected species, pandas are adored by people everywhere. The lotus designs in Jingjing's headdress, which are inspired by the porcelain paintings of the Song Dynasty (A.D.960-1234), symbolize the lush forest and the harmonious relationship between man and nature. Jingjing was chosen to represent our desire to protect nature's gifts--and to preserve the beauty of nature for all generations. Jingjing is charmingly naïve and optimistic. He is an athlete noted for strength who represents the black Olympic ring.。

[Green] venues 。
Green Olympics, Hi-tech Olympics, People's Olympics, the Beijing Olympic Games as the three core concepts for the Beijing Olympic Games is a programmatic work of guiding significance. Three in the concept, the first of which is a green Olympics. "Beijing Olympic Action Plan" in the definition of a green Olympics, it is not difficult to see that the green Olympic Games each of the sessions, people need to have high standards for the protection of the ecological quality, in accordance with the work to implement the standards. 。
National Swimming Center main building of advanced energy-saving technologies, including the use of heat pumps, solar energy use, comprehensive utilization of water resources, advanced HVAC systems, as well as control systems and other energy saving and environmental protection technologies, such as the use of external insulation to reduce energy loss applying energy efficient lighting and light control technology. These new standards, new technologies and the use of new materials for China's future energy-saving building construction has played a good role model, but also further stimulate and promote the construction of energy-saving technologies and the development of industries. 。
Cubic water used in ETFE membrane material, the most appropriate performance "Water Cube" Water Cube "appearance looks like a blue box of water, and no rules like a wall on the bubble. This bubble the materials used "ETFE" that is, we often say that the "poly fluoride." of such material corrosion resistance, thermal insulation of superb, self-cleaning ability. foreign anti-aging tests prove that it can be used 15 to 20 years. such material and also very strong, it is alleged that in the injury will not jump above it. absolutely at the same time as its own water-borne, it can use its own natural completion of clean water, is a new environmental protection materials. like a "water bubbles "ETFE film has better compression, the thickness of a piece of paper just as ETFE membrane composition of the gas pillow, and even can bear the weight of a car. gas pillow positioned under the different distribution of the density of the outer membrane uneven coating, which would become effective plating shielding direct sunlight into the museum, a shading and cooling effect. 。
[Cubic water water water-saving programme: 。
* Change Control swimming pools 。
To ensure that the "Water Cube" to the quality of the latest health standards FINA, swimming pools of water will be used sand filter - Ozone filter- activated carbon water purification process, all use Ozone filterdisinfection. According to reports, Ozone filterdisinfection not only can effectively remove the water smell, but also eliminate the water on the human body, stimulating. 。
In addition, the swimming pools will be full use * Change control technology, to improve the operating efficiency of water purification systems, water purification Pharmacy and lower power consumption, save water pools fill more than 50 per cent. In addition, swimming pools and water play pool impermeable concrete will be used to prevent leakage. 。
Bath water for flushing and irrigation 。
Apart from the swimming pool water, "Water Cube" other water conservation also. Toiletries such as wastewater, and will contact the biological oxidation, filtration, activated carbon adsorption and reuse After disinfection, the venue for the toilet flushing, garage floors and washing Green Outdoor irrigation. This alone can save water annually 44,530 tons of water. In addition, in order to reduce water evaporation, "Water Cube" outdoor green space will be conducted at night irrigation, the use of micro-irrigation sprinkler Israel, can be built to conserve water by 5%. 。
Sanitary based meter of water 。
In order to minimize people in the use of waste water, "Water Cube" on the toilet, bathing lead, vanities and other devices are used inductive flushing valve, the reasonable control of sanitary ware from water, and water points in the set focus water, and measure water consumption. Through these measures is expected to be about 10% water. 。
Apart from the bath water, "water cube" game hall will be set up in the drinking water, for the athletes and spectators to provide drinking water. To avoid the secondary pollution of drinking water, avoid wastage, "Water Cube" will be used for drinking water straight terminal-processing equipment. 。
Cubic construction techniques [water] 。
Membrane Structure is the most representative of the 21st century a new architectural forms, has become a large-span space one of the main forms of construction. It set architecture, structural mechanics, chemical industry, materials science and computer technology, integrated with the construction of a symbolic structure of the space, it not only reflects the strength of the United States, also fully demonstrate the idea of Architects, to enjoy nature romantic space. In the 2008 Olympic Games in architectural design, the application of membrane structures on the perfect embodiment. 。
"Water Cube" is the world's largest membrane structure engineering, architectural external use the world's most advanced environmental protection, energy conservation ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) membrane material. National Stadium project contracting, general manager of Tanxiaochun revealed that the life expectancy of such material for more than 20 years, but the actual length than this, people can walk on the hit, feeling special rods. Currently the world, only three are able to complete this membrane structure. 。
"Water Cube" from the construction of more than 3,000 pillow gas, gas pillow sizes, shapes vary, covering 100,000 square meters, called world's greatest. Apart from the ground, the appearance of the membrane structure used. Pillow successful installation of the gas will be pre-installed on the steel in the pipeline inflatable become inflated "bubble," the entire process from computer inflatable intelligent monitoring, and the light of the prevailing atmospheric pressure, light conditions, such as the "bubble" to maintain the best state. 。
Such as "bubble filled" with the same membrane material self-cleaning , the surface of the membrane is basically did not have any dust. Even if due to dust, natural precipitation is sufficient to enable a clean and as new. In addition, the membrane material has better compression of the people above playing the "trampoline" no problem "normal place of a car will not be crushing." If the event of the outer membrane rupture, according to the contingency plan, in eight hours of the damaged membrane repair or replacement. "Cubic water" crystal clear above the cloak also dotted with countless white bright spot, known as plating, they can change the direction of the light, the effect of a thermal insulation astigmatism. 。
In addition, the "Water Cube" an area of 7.8 hectares, but did not use a steel, concrete one. Its walls and ceiling are connected by pipe from the small, 12,000 nodes. Only 2.4 mm thick pillow-like membrane structures like包住skin of the entire building, one of the largest gas pillow about 9 square meters, a minimum of less than 1 square meter. Compared with glass, it can be more thoroughly into the sunlight and air, thereby allowing the pool to maintain constant temperature, can be energy-saving 30%. 。
What is the cube of water 。
The perfect embodiment membrane structure - Water Cube 。
Membrane Structure is the most representative of the 21st century a new architectural forms, has become a large-span space one of the main forms of construction. It set architecture, structural mechanics, chemical industry, materials science and computer technology, integrated with the construction of a symbolic structure of the space, it not only reflects the strength of the United States, also fully demonstrate the idea of Architects, to enjoy nature romantic space. In the 2008 Olympic Games in architectural design, the application of membrane structures on the perfect embodiment. 。
"Water Cube" is the world's largest membrane structure works, in addition to the ground, the appearance of the use of membrane structure - ETFE, blue surprisingly soft on the surface but very substantial. National Stadium project contracting, general manager of Tanxiaochun revealed that the life expectancy of such material for more than 20 years, but the actual length than this, people can walk on the hit, feeling special rods. Currently the world, only three are able to complete this membrane structure. 。
"Taking into account the energy-saving standard venues, membrane structure has strong thermal efficiency; In addition, the repair of this structure is very convenient, for example, shooting guns or sharp poke into things, monitoring computer will automatically be felt. Break if a hole, the only one with stickers on the trip; membrane structure is also very compact, and has a good self-cleaning, dust is not easy glued to the top, dust with water can be discharged. "Tanxiaochun said, membrane structure that they themselves have drainage and sewerage, as well as the s of Moisture Removing and antimist , in particular the anti-condensation of swimming is particularly important. 。
Moxie water as a construction, water cube form the structure of the complex and freedom, from the planning system ingenious and simple variation, simple pure shape modest home with the magnificent dialogue, different temperament contrast to their spirituality to be fun symbiotic. Palm beach, artificial waves…… sublimation of the Olympic Stadium for the people of the world never mind the water park. 。
