Sample Sentences
当然去过。奥运村还在建设中,14个奥运会新建场馆已全部开工了。国家会议中心、媒体村和奥林匹克森林公园等相关设施也都在建设中。为了方便大家去奥运会场,北京新增的多条地铁线,还有奥运支线和首都机场轨道交通线等等都将在2008年之前全面建成投入运营,成为功能完善,安全便捷的交通系统。相信到2008年的时候,我们肯定会看到一个崭新的北京。
Of course! They're still building the Olympic Village. Fourteen pavilions are already underway. Related buildings like the National Convention Center, the Media Village and the Olympic Forest Park are all under construction. To make it easier for everyone to get to the Olympic venues, Beijing's newly added metro lines, feeder lines, and the airport light rail will all be completely ready for operation before 2008. They'll be a multipurpose, safe and convenient transportation system. I'm sure that by 2008, we'll be able to see a new Beijing.
