It is an incredibly important record of the absolutely, well almost, unique moment in the history of the country – of the capital obviously but also the whole country's been pulled into this, I think very successfully.

Rob: What about other people at the exhibition launch? What did they think about the photographs?

I think they've got all the raw energy there. It is a contact sport and we are proud of that fact – it's one of main the selling points – and the picture just screams that out really.

Rob: Andy plays for the GB wheelchair rugby squad and he was photographed with his team-mate Mandip Sammi. He said the photographs show raw energy.

Helen: 展示出原始的能量 raw energy. Andy 是橄欖球運動員，但是他們參賽時都坐輪椅。 輪椅 wheelchair.

Rob: Even though the players are in wheelchairs, the game is still very much a contact sport and it's very intense.

Helen: 接觸性運動 a contact sport. 很緊張劇烈 very intense.

Rob: Andy said that the pictures reflect the intensity of rugby and he used the phrase 'to scream out'. It means to be very obvious, immediately understood.

Helen: It's a great phrase. Scream 的原意是大叫，尖叫， 不過在這個短語里，意思是最明顯的，突出的，something screams out at you. 我們再聽一遍 Andy 的感想。

The stadium's about a mile from where I live and I was very proud of East London, very proud of London. London has given me extraordinary opportunities in my life, really, quite extraordinary really. And it's responsible for everything I've done really in one form or other. So we wanted to, we wanted to reflect that.
