It is a symbol of trust and an expression of self confidence, standing for the solemn yet sacred promise that Beijing-the host city of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games-has made to the world and to all mankind.

它是诚信的象征；它是自信的展示；它是第29届奥林匹克运动会主办城市北京向全世界、全人类做出的庄严而又神圣的承诺。

I did not wish to die uncertain of my child's fate; I hoped to feel a sacred promise in a clasp of your hand which might have warmed my heart: but time fails me.

我不想在我孩子的命运不确定的情况下死去；我希望在你的握手中感受到一个神圣的承诺，这可能会温暖我的心：但时间让我失望了。
