（单词翻译）

As millions of visitors descend1 on London to enjoy the greatest show on earth, many famous London landmarks2 have been transformed into Olympic venues3.

The British Royal Family has always had a keen interest in sports. And the whole country celebrated4 as the Queen’s grand-daughter Zara Philips won silver in the equestrian5 team event for Great Britain.

It’s particularly fitting that a number of Olympic venues have royal connections. In this week’s programme, we introduce you to where royal horses guards are stationed, a stretch of road looking like a giant red carpet and a magnificent palace where Henry VIII lived.
