美女效應(yīng)：奧運沙灘排球門票銷售火爆

It's one of the most hotly-anticipated events of the Games, as much for the action as the skimpy outfits on display, and it appears Olympic organisers have gone to great lengths to make sure nobody goes home disappointed。

沙灘排球是奧運賽事中最為令萬眾期待的項目。沙灘排球動作有力，運動員的緊身服裝也展現(xiàn)出他們的完美身材。似乎奧運主辦方傾盡全力，只為使所有觀眾滿足而歸。

The spectacular beach volleyball stadium on Horse Guards Parade was being prepared for the opening matches today and there was a tantalising taste of what will be on show。

位于皇家騎兵衛(wèi)隊校場的沙灘排球館已經(jīng)為今天的各項開幕賽事做好了準(zhǔn)備，將奉獻出撩人的視覺盛宴。

With a capacity of 15,000, it is the largest-ever Olympic beach volleyball venue. Some of London's most historic buildings including Buckingham Palace will form a unique backdrop as it hosts its first games on Saturday。

館內(nèi)可容納15,000名觀眾，是奧運史上最大的沙灘排球館。周六就將在此舉行第一場比賽，而倫敦的諸多歷史建筑包括白金漢宮都將成為它最好的背景。

The British women's team - Shauna Mullin and Zara Dampney - will play their opening match against Canada at 5.30 pm on Sunday while the men's team of John Garcia-Thompson and Steve Grotowski will play Canada on Saturday at 4.30.

擁有著名沙排健將Shauna Mullin 和Zara Dampney的英國女子排球隊將在周日下午5:30首戰(zhàn)對抗加拿大，而有包括John Garcia-Thompson和Steve Grotowski在內(nèi)的男子排球隊則周六下午4：30就將對陣加拿大勁敵。

And between the games spectators will be entertained by a US-style cheerleader troupe, who were going through their final rehearsals for the event today。

而在比賽間隙，觀眾們將欣賞精彩的美式啦啦隊表演，他們將在今天進行最后的彩排。

Beach volleyball is one of the most talked-about sports on the Olympic scene owing to its daring dress code. Women often play in bikinis - something that has won the game a new army of fans。

沙灘排球著裝大膽前衛(wèi)，一向是奧運風(fēng)景中最受熱議的運動項目。女性運動員通常身著比基尼泳裝，這無疑也為沙灘排球吸引了一大批粉絲軍團。

'We go to places and it is a little bit shocking for people, but it draws them in and once they see the sport, they're hooked.'

“我們前往比賽場地，起先人們看到了是有些震驚的。然而當(dāng)他們看到了激烈的比賽，他們就會全心投入，再難自拔。”

'People are going to want to see it and hopefully we gain lifetime fans. We feel so blessed to be playing here.'

“人們都想去看這些比賽，而我們也擁有了忠實的粉絲。能夠打沙灘排球比賽，我們倍感榮幸。”運動員們這么說。
