　　While debate continues over how much the Olympics changed China, a recent survey indicates that hosting the Beijing Games changed some views of China among the 4.7 billion people who watched the event on TV.

　　盡管北京奧運會給中國帶來了多大的轉變這個問題仍存在爭議，但最近的一項調查顯示，在通過電視觀看了這場賽事的全球47億觀眾中，主辦奧運會改變了一部分人對中國的一些看法。

　　According to an online survey conducted by the Nielsen Co. of viewers in 16 countries after the closing ceremony, seven in ten said Beijing appeared more modern and high-tech than they had expected. Technology was one of the self-proclaimed pillars of Beijing's Games, and organizers put it on display during the opening ceremony, which featured a giant digital scroll.

　　根據尼爾森公司(Nielsen Co.)在閉幕式后對16個國家的觀眾進行的一項網上調查，七成受調查者表示北京比他們想象的更加現代，科技也更發達。科技奧運是北京奧運會宣傳的幾大理念之一，組織者在開幕式上展現了一幅巨大的數字畫軸，踐行了這一理念。

　　About half of those surveyed by Nielsen also came away with a very good or somewhat good impression of Beijing's physical environment. Pollution levels in August reached some of their lowest levels in years, following a 71.3 billion yuan investment in environmental clean-up.

　　在接受尼爾森調查的受訪者中，約有一半人對北京的實際環境印象非常好或比較高。在投入了人民幣713億元用于治理環境后，8月份的污染水平幾乎是多年來最低的。

　　Inside China, the consensus is also that the Games changed how the world views the country. A post-Games survey of 500 urban Chinese by research house Synovate found that 60% felt the most important legacy was that 'the rest of the world has learned about China.'

　　中國國內輿論也一致認為，奧運會改變了世界對中國的看法。研究機構思緯(Synovate)在奧運會后對中國500名城市居民進行了調查，其中有60%的受訪者認為奧運會最重要的遺產是世界其他國家了解了中國。
