“舞动的北京”是一方中国之印。这方“中国印”镌刻着一个有着十三亿人口和五十六个民族的国家对于奥林匹克运动的誓言；见证着一个拥有古老文明和现代风范的名族对于奥林匹克精神的崇尚；呈现着一个面向未来的都市对奥林匹克理想的诉求。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。“精诚所至，金石为开”，这枚以先贤明言创意、以金石印章为形象的会徽，是中国人民对于奥林匹克的敬重与真诚。当我们郑重地印下这方“中国印”之时，就意味着2008年的中国北京将为全世界展现一幅“和平、友谊、进步”的壮美图画，将为全人类奏响“更快、更高、更强”的激情乐章。
【正确答案】：“Dancing Beijing” is a Chinese Seal. It is engraved with commitment made to the Olympic Movement by a country that has 56 ethnic groups and a population of 1.3 billion. While witnessing the advocacy of the Olympic Spirit by a nation with both ancient civilization and modern culture, it also unfolds a future-oriented city’s pursuit of the Olympic Ideal. 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. “Complete sincerity can affect even metal and stone (literally meaning sincerity smoothes the way to success).” The inception of our ancestors’ wisdom and the image of a seal made of metal and stone allow the emblem to present Chinese people’s respect and honesty for the Olympics. The moment we earnestly imprint the emblem with the “Chinese seal”, Beijing is about to show the world a grand picture of “peace, friendship, and progress of mankind” and to strike up the passionate movement of “faster, higher, and stronger” for mankind.
