The Olympic Torch has arrived in London in spectacular style, lowered from a helicopter above the historic Tower of London.
A member of the UK Royal Marines carried the torch, abseiling down into the Tower on the shore of the River Thames. The grand entrance brings the symbol of the games into the city’s historic heart, after a two month journey around the UK.
Crowds lined London’s famed river banks to see the arrival, as the famous "Beefeaters" watched from inside the Tower.
It marks the 7 day countdown to the opening of the London 2012 Olympic Games. The city last hosted the Games in 1948.
参考译文：奥运火炬以一种壮观的场面抵达伦敦，在伦敦塔的上空从一架直升飞机上下来。一名英国皇家海军陆战队员从机上速降到地面，泰晤士河边的伦敦塔。在为期两个月的英国火炬传递后，这次盛大的场面载入伦敦城市的史册。不少目睹了这一幕的市民和游客还以为是误闯进了某部好莱坞大片的拍摄现场。距离2012年伦敦奥运会开幕还有七天。这座城市承办过1948的奥运会。
