日本东京奥运会主题口号公布：United by Emotion，你怎么译？
近日，日本东京奥运会组委会官方公布，2020奥运会及残奥会的主题口号为「United by Emotion」。组委会表示，与其他非英语国家举办城市不同，这句口号没有日语版。而据@日本国驻华大使馆 微博今天11:52的消息，目前中文翻译也还未确定。
国内媒体将其译为「激情聚会」，你怎么译呢？网友表示，就叫「山川异域，风月同天」吧。

“UNITED BY EMOTION” TO BE THE TOKYO 2020 GAMES MOTTO

The Tokyo 2020 organising committee has revealed the official games motto: “United by Emotion”. The motto emphasises the power of sport to bring together people from diverse backgrounds of every kind and allow them to connect and celebrate in a way that reaches beyond their differences.

The Games motto encapsulates the Games vision, capturing the essence of the ideas and concepts that the host city wishes to share with the world. “United by Emotion” expresses the hope that the spectators, volunteers and athletes from over 200 National Olympic Committees and the Refugee Olympic Team gathering in Tokyo this summer, as well as the billions watching on television and online across the globe, will come together and understand that there is more that unites than divides them.
