The Olympic Opening Ceremony was an international event and the whole world was watching! The event was held in a stadium designed to seat a large group of people.

The athletes entered the stadium in a specific order. The athletes from Greece entered first in honor of the original Olympics held in Greece. Then, the other athletes followed by nation in the alphabetical order of the host country’s language. The host country’s athletes came last. So for this coming Olympics 2008, the athletes from China will enter the stadium last.

运动员们按照详细的顺序进入体育场。尊敬的奥林匹克发源地希腊的运动员首先入场。然后，其他的的运动员按照本国名称的第一个字母的顺序依次入场。东道主最后入场。所以，在将要到来的2008年奥运会上，中国运动员最后进入体育场。
