说“the best"当然也可以,但是也太平淡了,况且已经在对以前的奥运会的评语中用过。大家知道,既然是best, 当然不可以用上两次了,否则还是什么最好呢。
exceptional 在此时此刻的场景下,其意思是很正面的,意味着京澳超越了其他几届,这和媒体在其他场合说Beijing has raised the bar high是相吻合的,指京澳把奥运会的标准又提高了一个档次。
朋友们,自豪吧。

咬文嚼字,有必要吗?
罗格的那个“无与伦比”就那么重要吗?
我觉得有罗格的这段话就够了:“本届奥运会的确是一届非常出色的奥运会。7年多来,大家团结一致,克服了重重困难,终于使本届奥运会取得了圆满成功。在奥运会筹办过程中,中国人民和北京奥组委表现出了才干、热情、创意,为奥林匹克运动作出了卓越贡献。”(罗格在国际奥委会的答谢早餐会并颁授奥林匹克勋章授奖仪式上致辞时说)
我们成功地举办了一届非常出色的奥运会!---That's enough!
是否“无与伦比”?--- Who care it?

其实任何人的评价都不是重要的,重要的是,中国人举办了而且是成功地举办了本次的奥运。这一事实确实让某些人很失望。
NOT SO EXCITED TO ME. JAPAN HOSTED OLYMPIC IN THE 70S. KOREA HOSTED 20 YEARS AGO. USA HOSTED SEVERIAL TIMES IN THE LAST CENTUARY.
I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE ARE SO EXCITED.
I DON'T WANT TO MARRY A WOMAN SLEPT BY ANOTHER MAN.
I WANT SOMETHING UNIQUE TO CHINA.

Exceptional photo…与众不同的照片......

Beijing will close factories and force 19 heavy polluters to reduce emissions by 30 percent for two months around the Olympics and Paralympics to improve air quality for athletes, a Beijing official said on Monday.

To whom may I express an opinion about the photo by Victor Fraile/Reuters, which appeared on the front page of the NEW YORK TIMES “Week in Review” section on Sunday, August 3, 2008? Does your organization take input from readers about photos that they deem to be outstanding and — in the readers’ opinions — should be submitted as an entry for an award ?

Yes, we love hearing from readers, which is what this blog is all about. Your e-mail means a whole new batch of people will see this photo, and after that, who knows? GBU Editor

'These were truly exceptional Games.': IOC president Jacques Rogge
By TERRY JONES, SUN MEDIA
http://edmsun.canoe.ca/Sports/Beijing2008/2008/08/24/pf-6559181.html
BEIJING –An IOC president was never supposed to say something like this again.
After Juan Antonio Samaranch, unable to think of anything positive to say in the place where the IOC head previously had declared the Games to be “the greatest ever,” he called the Atlanta 1996 disaster “remarkable”.
That's when the IOC placed a ban on the tradition of referring to every Olympics as the best ever.
Jacques Rogge said the heck with it and declared Beijing 2008 to be brilliant and did everything but use the term best ever as he declared the Games of the XXIX Olympia closed here Sunday night.
“Tonight we come to the end of 16 glorious days which we will cherish forever,” he said.
“Through these Games, the world learned more about China and China learned more about the world,” he continued.
And then he said it.
“These were truly exceptional Games!”
And they were.
The Chinese proved to be outstanding organizers, even if they had great difficulty reacting to the unexpected.
They produced by far the best athletes village in history of the Olympics, by far the most first-rate facilities and the most efficient transportation system.
They may, indeed, have been the best organized and produced Games ever.
But there was one thing missing.
It was noticeable in its absence in the opening ceremonies and noticeable every which way through every day of the XXIX Olympic Games.
From start to finish there was a distinct lack of joy.
And that's what was missing most when it ended here Sunday night.
The closing ceremonies, vowed artistic director Chen Weiya, who wowed the world with the openers, would focus on a theme of “harmony, friendship and joy.”
But, again, there was no joy.
When you ask most people who have attended a large number of Olympics, I think you'll find they'll rave about every aspect of these Games but when you asked them if these ranked with their favorite Olympics of all time, won't be able to tell you that they did.
Sydney, Barcelona, Seoul, Montreal, Lillehammer, Calgary, and Sarajevo all ended up ahead on my scorecard of 15 Olympics covered because they all had what these Games didn't. They were a joyful experience to attend.
Last night it definitely wasn't a particularly joyful experience to be at the closing ceremonies.
While China gave the world the most awesome, brilliant, inspired, powerful and original opening ceremonies in history, they also became the first victims of trying to follow that act with their own closing ceremonies.
As overwhelming as the opening ceremonies were, the closing ceremonies were underwhelming.
They failed in so many ways.
The entrance of the flag bearers, for example, was forgettable for everybody including, one suspects the flag-bearers themselves. The Chinese decided to divide them into two groups and hustle them all on the floor in Olympic record time of four minutes and 30 seconds.
If Canada didn't have such a distinctive flag, people from our nation in the crowd of 91,000 would have never noticed three-time trampoline medal winner Karen Cockburn of Toronto carrying ours into the stadium.
The athletes were then herded in from four different entrances and, again, if Canada's group didn't stand out wearing distinctive patterned Chinese pajama-like bottoms, they might have been missed, too.
Chinese giant basketball star Yao Ming also brought the Canadian athletes into focus by spending a great deal of time in their midst posing for pictures.
The highlight was an almost Disneyland electrical parade-type opening featuring a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 countdown in fireworks in the sky over the Bird's Nest.
The opening number featured two large airborne “heavenly drums”, drum carts, silver bell dancers and electrical light wheels with the diameter of 2.008 metres.
But it paled in comparison to the 2,008 Fou ancient percussion instruments made of clay and bronze, the same number of performers created a rhythm and light show which counted down the seconds to filling the Beijing sky with fireworks, 11,456 of them on the top of the stadium and 8,428 around the city in the stunning opening ceremonies.
In fact the fireworks at the closers didn't even come close to several other Olympics and with gunpowder having been invented here, that was supposed to be a given.
The transfer of the Olympic flag to London didn't really make it, either.
It was celebrated by a double decker British bus being driven around the stadium with a show surrounding and emerging from out of the top of the bus doing little to wet whistles for the ceremonies in 2012.
But something tells me four years from now we'll be writing about an Olympics of great joy and a Games we'll remember on a list with our other favorites.

Exceptional is the more common word and refers, often favorably, to a person or thing unusual in some way: She has exceptional powers of concentration. However, exceptional is also used in a factual or neutral way: Expenses can be reimbursed only in exceptional cases.Exceptionable, despite its similar sound, has a very different meaning, referring to something that arouses disapproval or offense: There was something in his manner that we found exceptionable. More often, it is used in the negative form unexceptionable, meaning "good enough to provide no reason for criticism or objection."

要是罗格真想表达“无与伦比”的意思,根本不用咬文嚼字,只需要说"the best"就行了,全世界的人都明白它的意思。
了然:罗格对北京奥运的评价其实不高
