But now we have returned to an aesthetic of political mesmerization, reflected in the host government’s declared aim that China should win more gold medals than any country before. As the Olympic torch relay – itself a creation of the Nazis, first employed in the Berlin Games – makes its way down Speer Jr.’s avenue of power, the world will once again be made to witness a triumph of the totalitarian will.
但是现在我们又回到了政治催眠的美学标准中，这反映在主办国宣称中国应该赢得比任何国家都多的金牌。奥运火炬传递本身就是由纳粹创造出来的，并且首先是从柏林奥运会开始进行的。当火炬在小斯佩尔建造的强力大道上行进时，世界将再一次目睹极权主义意志的胜利。
