Olympics: America turns the tables According to the US media, gold medals don't count for as much as they used to. Wonder why that might be?
August 14, 2008 3:30 PM
It's an odd thing: whenthe US media report on the Beijing Olympics medal tallies, they showtables with nations ranked by "total medals" won - rather than by goldmedals won, which is the more usual way of doing things (sinceotherwise a bronze counts the same as a gold, which is hardly the case).
And yet - it wasn't always that way in America's media. Comparethese two medal tables from USA Today. The first is from the 2004Athens Olympics. The USA is number one in both golds and total medals -but notice that China beats Russia into second place, despite Russiahaving many more medals in total than China.
Now fast forward four years and let's look at USA Today's onlinemedal tally from Beijing - and notice that Russia is ranked ahead ofItaly despite having won fewer gold medals. Hmm.
What's the reason for this? Anything to do with the likelihood thatChina is going to spank America's butt in terms of golds won - but thatthe USA has a chance to top the overall tally? Maybe ... anyway, theway China is going it may even win the overall tally as well, makingAmerica a loser however you count it.
Perhaps the US networks should start celebrating bronze medals asthe true sign of Olympic achievement? Because there the USA team stillhas a big lead.

How damning. What are you going to do for an encore, Richard? Find a split infinitive in the Declaration of Independence?

现在在看美国的那些排行榜都是以奖牌总数来排的;P ;P 不象其它国家是以金牌为首的;P
楼上众狼炫耀啥，过了六级还看不懂英文的绝望飘过:lol
费了半天劲并借助金山词霸总算弄明白了:(
谁给翻译明白了

04年雅典时，是按照金牌数来排名的（美国金牌和奖牌数量都是第一，俄罗斯奖牌比中国多，但因为金牌比中国少排第三）.
哈哈，现在北京奥运会
英国人说中国金牌数和奖牌数都有可能排第一
因此建议美国人以铜牌数为标准，因为中国铜牌数量不大可能超过美国

怎么说你们好呢，上几届美国的大部分媒体就以奖牌数来排序的了。美国各媒体排名不一样的。
嗯，很想看看你说的上几届美国排名的截图，不过现在无论是英国还是法国都说美国这次是好面子。

;P 大英帝国满塞！赶快整个下届的排名。
果然是一个茅坑里待过的，一切都在掌控之中。大英帝国满赛;P ;P

叫你别多说吧。
2004年雅典奥运会啊，你大惊小叫干嘛，自己不会查啊。还要我伺候你啊。自卑和自大总是联系在一起的

所以你很自大.
谢谢，起码我会自己去查资料，核实自己的记忆。
卫报？？？
英国人在这个方面跟我们站在同一战线了，因为按奖牌数算的话，它没办法压倒俄罗斯排第三。

总算是一个明白人。
英国人也不是什么好鸟，这次他主要是金牌拿得多，美国把他们排到第五，肯定不爽:D

呵呵，呵呵，Richard 是男的正式名字，中文一般译作理查德。英美名字一般都有短的呢称，Dick 是 Richard 的呢称。但是，在美国俚语里，Dick 又是JJ的另一种称呼。 现在知道如何打逛美国副总统切尼了吧，他一般被称作 Dick Cheney，但他的正式名字是 Richard Cheney。
猫版大概不知道这个双关语。。。 :D

那么，
回答三个问题：
第一、在我写出之前，你是否知道本文作者是Richard Adams？:D
第二、你是否知道Richard Adams、Jonathan Feigen这些专栏记者的博客固定读者～他们无论是讨论还是奉承抑或是咨询，向来都是以First Name直呼对方？
第三、如果你的回答是【是】，那么这句话如何解读出直呼作者名字的时候，这个词已经影射为JJ？
顺便，请举出单独使用Richard称呼一位名叫Richard的男子实为影射JJ的实例～
如果不介意的话，顺便帮我看看这段话是否有什么语病…… 当然， insecurity拼错了这种小疏漏就无视吧……

哇。美帝1896年就开始按奖牌榜排了？还有1988年举办城市写的是首尔。汉城改首尔是05才改的吧，这份排行是什么时候整理出来的啊？
最好要当年排行截图，现在查询的排行谁知道是什么时候整理出来的
现在有点 ...
汉城在英文翻译里好像早就改首尔 了，05年改的是中文的翻译

Of course I did. :D I went there and read the comments and had a good laugh. Of course some of the better ones were for the opening ceremony and I really got a good chuckles with the Brit's grit. I was joking with Spica because I knew he was in the left coast and the smiley used on the Richard question was a bit suspicious so I took the bait. :P As far as Dick was concern, no I would not interpret it for any other means unless his last name is Cheney. :@ :@
其实英国这么说主要还是金牌多拿了几块，按照金牌榜英国人很靠前;P
