我把奥委会主席罗格闭幕式的演讲原文和译文仔细看过了几遍，一句一句比读，译文可谓准确忠实。或许正是为了照顾"准确忠实"，稍显呆滞，略输神采。但仍不失为一篇值得学习的，相当出色的译文，我把重点词句用红笔突出了，喜欢翻译的可以参考。译文和图片来源于新华网。

dazzling venues and awed us with their talent.

New stars were born. Stars from past Games
amazed us again. We
shared their joys and their tears, and
we marveled at their
ability. We will
long remember the achievements we
witnessed here.
新的奥运明星诞生了，往日的奥运明星又一次带来惊喜，我们分享他们的欢笑和泪水，我们钦佩他们的才能与风采，我们将长久铭记再次见证的辉煌成就。
As we celebrate the success of these Games, let us
altogether wish the best for the talented athletes
who will soon participate in the Paralympic Games.
They also inspire
us.

true role models. You have
shown us the unifying
power of sport.

The Olympic spirit lives in the warm embrace of
competitors from nations in conflict. Keep that spirit
alive when you return
home.

These were truly exceptional
Games!
这是一届真正的无与伦比的奥运会！
And now, in accordance
with tradition, I declare the Games of
the XXIX Olympiad closed, and I call upon the
youth of the world to assemble four years
from now in London
to celebrate the Games of the XXX
Olympiad.
现在，遵照惯例，我宣布第29届奥林匹克运动会闭幕，并号召全世界青年四年后在伦敦举办的第30届奥林匹克运动会上相聚。
