体坛英语新闻:Venue's media room takes suit of London's tube
LONDON, July 23 (Xinhua) -- London is cool most of the summer, but it comes scorching days sometimes, especially when the Olympics wind down in the city.
Monday is one of those treasured hot days with the training session going on for the Olympics gymnasts from all around the world. Japanese teams took trainings at the North Greenwich Arena training venue in the afternoon session, which drew a swarm of Japanese reporters here and turned the less spacious media room, around 80 cubic meters, into a packed sauna cottage.
What made the situation worse is the lack of ventilating equipment and air-conditioner in the media room, but you need just to open the door to have a cool haven in the lobby, where is a total different environment with central air-conditioning system functioning powerfully.
The media manager is well considerate for those in the room and set up an electric fan around the corner, which upgraded the temperature almost within moments, but the lobby won more credit from the media staff.
It's a fascinating picture to see a couple of reporters taking naps here sitting against the wall from time to time.
The venue's media room can remind you of the subway in London. It always feel great when you enter the station in the hot days with abound cool air permeating around your sweat, but only minutes later you'll find the train is the area of tropics. Hopefully it won't be a long ride on the train for you would surely feel better even under the scorching sun. In London, you can expect comfort in the shadow and a little bit of breeze even in the most sweltering days.
London's case is totally reversed in New York, whose subway system features cold train and suffocating station in the summer. You're entitled to experience summer and winter, Miami and Siberia in just a few minutes and what it takes is you pick up a subway journey in a hot summer day.
In London, you need to wear pants instead of shorts in summer if your work hours take up early morning and late night, so the pants also function partly in making hot even hotter and muggy even muggier.
