"That's probably because this is also the first time tickets for the performance were sold out. " 这是第一届运动员将无法在看台全程观赏比赛, 八成是票卖太好了 In Deaflympics past, athletes usually circled the stadium at the beginning of the ceremony and then settled into the stands among fans to watch the rest of the host country's performance. 以往的开幕式, 运动员都会环绕於会场, 然後被安排至看台和观众一同观看开幕式 However, this year, the ceremony was more like the Olympics, volleyball coach Lynn Ray Boren said, "where athletes are simply a part of the ceremony and do not expect to watch it." 然而今年, 开幕式却比较像是奥运, 运动员只是整个典礼的一部分, 无法观看全程 When asked his opinion about the change in procedure, basketball behemoth Edlin Dorn emphasized that he'd rather focus on getting the gold than worry about watching the whole Opening Ceremony. 被问到开幕式的改变, 某运动员说他比较关心是否能得到金牌, 而非观看开幕式 As it turned out, athletes sat in a holding room adjacent to the stadium and were able to both mingle with competitors from other countries and watch the ceremonies on television while awaiting their turn to appear in front of the masses. 运动员绕场前, 运动员被安排在场馆旁的空间, 可以和其他国家的运动员互动, 并同时 透过电视收看典礼 D.J. Rowse and Matthew Eby — both soccer players at their second Deaflympics —agreed that this year's Opening Ceremony went far and beyond the performances at the 2005 Melbourne Deaflympics. 某两位运动员表示开幕式比起2005墨尔本好太多了 For starters, the ceremonies lasted more than two hours and comprised an actual story that incorporated the host country's cultural background. 开幕典礼进行超过2个小时, 包含了一个融合地主国文化背景的故事 "Melbourne was really simplistic in comparison," Rowse said. 比起来, 墨尔本真是太简单了 The most heralded part of the ceremony came in Act Five, Part Two: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, in which women clad in golden garb danced the tale of “Kwan-yin with One Thousand Hands.” 主办单位宣传最力的部分是牵手观音 The mirror-like effects of the many arms and fingers dazzled the audience with their seamless motion, and "we were just amazed," tennis player Jennifer Woyahn said. 挥动手臂和手指营造出镜像般的效果, 某运动员说, 很好看 Fellow teammate Aaron Gomez took care to note that the American athletes did not get a chance to circle the stadium fully, but instead went barely half a lap before their walk of fame was over. 某运动员很介意美国运动员无法绕场时只绕了半圈, 属於他们的时刻就这样结束了 "Still, it was a really awesome ceremony, and I'm glad I got to be a part of it," he said. 然而, 这是一场很精彩的典礼, 我很高兴能参予 --
