8月1日,意在促进世界和平的“奥林匹克休战墙”在里约奥运村设立。国际奥委会主席巴赫表示,休战墙在今天具有的意义和古代是一样的,在这个充满战争和危机的年代,世界比以往更需要和平、团结为代表的奥林匹克价值观。 请看相关报道: The Olympic Truce Wall was unveiled in the Olympic Village of the Rio Olympics on Monday, four days before the Opening Ceremony of the 2016 Games. 8月1日,在距离里约奥运会开幕还有四天的时候,奥林匹克休战墙在里约奥运村设立。 "The Olympics Truce is as relevant today as it was in ancient times. In the world of crisis and war, more than ever, the world needs the Olympics value of peace and solidarity," said International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach. 国际奥委会主席巴赫表示,“休战墙在今天具有的意义和古代是一样的,在这个充满战争和危机的年代,世界比以往更需要和平、团结为代表的奥林匹克价值观。” "This Olympics Truce is where all of us can show our support for the Olympics Truce and the principals it represents.” “这个奥林匹克休战墙是我们所有人对奥林匹克休战及其代表的和平原则表达支持的地方。” Olympic Truce就是“奥林匹克休战”,truce指的是a state of peace agreed to between opponents 或者a cessation of all hostilities;那么“宣布休战”就是declaration of truce,与其意思相近的还有ceasefire,这两个词都表示“暂时停火”;armistice则表示参战双方达成正式的“停战协议”,寻找其他解决冲突的方法。 |
