  奧運報道的收視率顯然正在洛杉磯市政廳拿著金牌，在這里眾多職員們都在網上觀看比賽，而該市的首席技術官卻懇求他們不要再在線看比賽，害怕會造成市政廳計算機系統癱瘓。

  We are experiencing a high volume of traffic due to people watching the Olympics online. I respectfully request that you discontinue this as it is impacting city operations, city tech guru Randi Levin wrote in an email sent to thousands of workers Tuesday morning.
