　　中國新華社發表了一篇文章，預期中國將在本屆倫敦奧運會上再次擊敗美國，成為獲得金牌最多的國家。

　　中國對奧運的自信心也體現出中國在世界舞臺上越來越重要的地位。BBC 記者Martin Patience 發回了以下報道。

　　Detailed it is but

　　modest it certainly isn't. The

　　editorial sets out in precise terms where China can expect to win gold medals. In gymnastics the

　　haul could be nine, weight lifting offers up the opportunity for another five, and there could be medals won on the track.

　　All told, China believes it can win thirty seven gold medals - enough to

　　top the table.

　　What's perhaps surprising about this editorial is that it's been published in the first place. But in a country known for setting targets,

　　it serves as a public warning to Chinese athletes not to disappoint.

　　Glory goes not only to the individual winner but the country as a whole.

　　And Chinese fans can be

　　unforgiving if their athletes fail to meet expectations, or in this case, specific targets. As for the

　　host nation, Britain, there's some good news.

　　China's state-run news agency

　　predictsit could finish third.
