He said the giant sports day would be an "amazing chance" for people of all ages to feel part of GB's Olympic success, adding: "You don't have to be an Olympian to be part of Team GB."
他说,这场盛大的体育节,将是所有年龄段的人感受英国在奥运场上成功喜悦的"绝佳机会",并表示"就算你不是奥运会选手,你也可以成为英国奥运代表团的一员."
The event will be called I Am Team GB, because everyone who buys a lottery ticket is helping to fund Britain's Olympians and Paralympians through UK Sport's £80 million per year programme.
人们将以购买彩票的方式资助英国的奥运和残奥健儿,资金将会投入英国体育机构每年8000万英镑的项目中,因而这场活动也将被命名为"我是英国奥运代表团".
Lottery funding enables 1,300 athletes to train full-time who would otherwise have to train in their spare time while supporting themselves with a regular job.
彩票资助能够帮助1300名运动员全身心地投入到项目训练中去,不然的话,他们要靠一份稳定的工作养活自己,下班之余才有时间训练.
As well as the 2,000 grass roots sports clubs that will be opening their doors, 14 regional centres will include London 2012 venues, football and athletics stadiums.
除了2000家开业的草根运动俱乐部,包括2012年伦敦奥运会场馆、足球以及田径场在内的14个区域中心也会开放.
ITV will also be setting up a badminton court and table tennis tables on the set of Coronation Street for the public to use, and a duathlon (running and cycling) will take place in Yorkshire around the villages where Emmerdale is filmed.
独立电视台同时也会在加冕街建一个公用的羽毛球场和几张乒乓球桌,在约克郡附近的村庄举行铁人两项项目（跑步和骑自行车）,英剧《爱默戴尔农场》就是在那拍的.
Actors from both soap operas, as well as other celebrities such as Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon, will be involved on the day.
电视剧中的演员及其他名人也会在当天出席,比如英国达人秀里的评委艾莉莎•迪克森.
Although the National Lottery numbers are chosen live on BBC Television, ITV's ability to advertise I Am Team GB made the channel the natural choice, according to insiders.
据内部人士透露,尽管国家彩票抽奖会在BBC电视上直播,独立电视台为"我是英国奥运代表团"活动打广告的能力依然会使人们自然地选择频道.
"The hope is that we can get as many athletes as possible to take part," said a spokesman for the event. "It's also a chance for them to come home and be recognised by the public who have idolised them during the Games and to join in the celebrations."
活动的发言人表示："我们希望尽可能多的运动员参与其中,这同时也是他们回国后,获得在比赛期间崇拜他们的公众的认可,并参与到庆祝当中的好机会."
