Dear fans

It is an absolutely fantastic combination to be celebrating my birthday and
the start of the Olympic Games - on the very same day!

我的生日能和北京奧運的開幕在相同的一天，真的是很神奇的一件事！

The Olympic opening ceremony here in Beijing will start on the 08.08.08 at
8:08:08 pm - that's quite a few eights! Eight has always been my personal
lucky number. And eight is considered one of the luckiest numbers in Chinese
tradition because of its unique pronunciation. So being here in China on this
specific date and time, celebrating my birthday during such an amazing
event... It is almost impossible to find the right words to describe this
feeling.

奧林匹克開幕典禮會在北京的零八年八月八日晚上八點零八分開始，有好多的八！
八向來是我的個人幸運數字，而且八在中國被當成是最吉祥的數字之一，因為它的諧音。
在這個特別的日子和時間，在這個驚人的大事期間，待在中國慶祝我的生日...想找到一
個適當的字眼去形容這種感覺幾乎是不可能的事。

I am looking forward to tonight enormously, leading Switzerland into the
stadium with our national flag. The huge crowd, the amazing ceremony and the
best athletes from all over the world gathered here, will all make for
another memory to last forever. What a privilege it is to be here!

我非常期待今天晚上，我將拿著我們的旗幟帶領瑞士走進體育場。屆時這裡將會聚集龐大
的觀眾，不可思議的典禮和全世界最好的運動員。而這全部都將成為另一個永恆的回憶
。能待在這裡是多麼的榮幸。

I also want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your unconditional
support. I love to come to my website and find you all discussing the future,
the present and also the past. Your interest in all different topics around
me, tennis and sports in general is fascinating. Thank you for all the time
so many of you have invested in writing me messages, letters and cards and
making me special gifts. This means a great deal to me and it fills me with
pride to have so many of you thinking of me.

我也很希望藉著這個機會，感謝你們不管在任何情況始終不變的的支持。我愛到我的網站
上發現你們正在討論未來，現在還有過去。那些你們對圍繞在我身邊不同主題的興趣，大
體上是網球和運動，真的很驚人。感謝你們投資了那麼多時間寫下那些訊息給我、信件、
卡片、還有製作那些特別的禮物送給我。這對我來說意義重大而且讓我感到滿滿的驕傲：
能擁有這麼多總是在關心我的人。

Our community is steadily growing towards the barrier of 200'000, what an
amazing number. So many individuals from all over the world with a common
interest meeting in one spot - precisely like here in Beijing for the
Olympics! I would like to say thank you one more time and hope you enjoy the
Games, wherever you are.

我們的社群正在穩定成長，並且邁向二十萬大關，這是一個多麼不可思議的數字。有這麼
多來自世界各地的人有著相同的興趣，聚集在相同的地點─就好像在北京這裡為了奧林匹
克一樣！我想再一次向你們致謝，也希望你們會享受比賽，不論你們在哪。

Sincerely
Roger
