这是我上班的路线，途经奥林匹克森林公园北园、奥林匹克森林公园南园、国家会议中心、水立方、盘古大观~~这一路，我喜欢看后奥运时代的变化——三年来，那些曾经热闹一时的场馆有的一直沉默、有的则一年一热闹（如网球馆，中国网球公开赛一来，我回家经过此地，就会有黄牛扬着手敲我的汽车车窗：退票吗？退票吗？），还有些奇怪如飞碟形状的场馆，至今我不知道现在做了什么用。我还喜欢看那些水立方附近走出来的一群又一群的外地游客，他们在一面小红旗下七七八八地过马路，脸上是标准式中国游客的笑~~他们对鸟巢和水立方的兴趣丝毫没有减退~~

This is my route to and from work, passing the Olympic Village North Park, Olympic Village South Park, the National Convention Center, the Water Cube (National Aquatics Center), Pangu Plaza... On this route, I've enjoyed watching the post-Olympic changes; in three years, those once bustling plazas and courts have become either consistently quiet, or of the lively once-a-year sort (like the tennis stadium during the China Open, which I experienced from my car on my way home with scalpers knocking on my window: "Tickets to sell? Tickets to sell?"), or there's also those few weird UFO-like sites which up until now still have no apparent use. I also like to see the groups of tourists pouring out of the Water Cube; they'll walk in assorted configurations across the street under the red flag of their tour guides, wearing the standard smile of the Chinese tourist. Their excitement about the Bird's Nest (National Stadium) and the Water Cube never seems to diminish.
