今夏在里約熱內(nèi)盧舉行的奧運(yùn)會(huì)將首次迎來(lái)一支由難民組成的代表隊(duì)。而在此之前,僅有代表本國(guó)的運(yùn)動(dòng)員才能參加競(jìng)技。
The team will likely number between five and 10athletes, the committee said in a statement, and"will be treated at the Olympic Games like all theother teams."
奧委會(huì)在一份聲明中表示,這個(gè)隊(duì)伍將由5-10名運(yùn)動(dòng)員組成,“他們會(huì)與其他隊(duì)伍一樣被同等對(duì)待”。
"By welcoming Refugee Olympic Athletes to the Olympic Games in Rio, we want to send amessage of hope to all the refugees of the world," said International Olympic CommitteePresident Thomas Bach.
國(guó)際奧委會(huì)主席巴赫表示:“通過(guò)歡迎難民運(yùn)動(dòng)員參加里約奧運(yùn)會(huì),我們想向全世界的難民傳達(dá)希望的信息。”
Here's more from Bach: "Having no national team to belong to, having no flag to marchbehind, having no national anthem to be played, these refugee athletes will be welcomed tothe Olympic Games with the Olympic flag and with the Olympic Anthem. They will have a hometogether with all the other 11,000 athletes from 206 National Olympic Committees in theOlympic village."
巴赫表示:“這些難民運(yùn)動(dòng)員將不屬于任何國(guó)家隊(duì),不會(huì)跟隨國(guó)旗列隊(duì)而過(guò),也沒(méi)有國(guó)歌為他們奏響。奧運(yùn)會(huì)歡迎他們,奧林匹克旗幟將為他們而升起,奧林匹克會(huì)歌將為他們而奏。他們和其他來(lái)自206個(gè)奧委會(huì)成員的11000名運(yùn)動(dòng)員一樣,屬于奧運(yùn)村這個(gè)大家庭。”
The IOC said it has identified 43 contenders for the places on the team and the final group willbe announced in June. Along with athletic prowess, potential team members will beassessed by "official refugee status verified by the United Nations, and personal situation andbackground."
奧委會(huì)表示最后參加隊(duì)伍的人將從43名競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者中選出,結(jié)果將于6月宣布。除了運(yùn)動(dòng)技能之外,聯(lián)合國(guó)官方認(rèn)可的難民身份,個(gè)人情況以及背景都是考察評(píng)估的因素。
A refugee would also carry the torch during the Greek leg of the flame relay. The team willmarch in the opening ceremony on Aug 5 just before the athletes from host Brazil.
據(jù)悉,一名難民還將參與希臘站的圣火傳遞活動(dòng)。在8月5日舉行的開幕式上,難民代表隊(duì)將在東道主巴西隊(duì)前出場(chǎng)。
