双语 | 东京奥运会圣火采集仪式将举行 现场无观众

希腊奥委会3月9日表示，计划于12日在古奥林匹亚赫拉神庙举行的2020年东京奥运会圣火采集仪式，将在没有观众的情况下举行。奥林匹亚市所属的伊利亚州是希腊新冠肺炎疫情最严重的地区之一。

The Tokyo 2020 Olympics torch lighting ceremony in ancient Olympia will be the first in more than 35 years to be held without spectators after organizers on Monday introduced tighter measures to protect against the coronavirus.

在古奥林匹亚举行的2020年东京奥运会圣火采集仪式，将是35年来首次在没有观众的情况下举行。此前，主办方于本周一（3月9日）出台了更严格的预防新冠病毒的措施。

Greece’s Olympic Committee said spectators would be excluded from both the dress rehearsal at the ancient site on Wednesday and the widely broadcast ceremony on Thursday.

希腊奥委会表示，将在古老神庙举行的彩排（周三）和大范围直播仪式（周四）都不允许观众入场。

This is the first time since the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics that the ceremony will be held without any spectators lounging on the grassy slopes of the ancient stadium in the tiny Peloponesian hamlet. The ceremony — held both for summer and winter Games — usually attracts several thousand spectators, including Greeks and foreign visitors.

这是自1984年洛杉矶奥运会以来，奥运圣火采集仪式第一次在没有观众的情况下举行。仪式举行时，不会有观众在这个伯罗奔尼撒半岛小村庄古老神庙的草坡上闲逛。夏季和冬季奥运会的圣火采集仪式通常会吸引数千名观众，包括希腊人和外国游客。

“The lighting ceremony of the Olympic flame will be done without the presence of spectators and only 100 invited and accredited guests,” the Greek Olympic Committee said in a statement.

希腊奥委会在一份声明中表示：“奥运会圣火采集仪式将在没有观众的情况下进行，只有100名嘉宾受邀出席。”
