[ 2008-03-20 16:09 ]
北京奧組委執行副主席蔣效愚19日在回答記者提問時表示,最近在西藏發生的事件不會影響北京奧運會火炬接力活動的順利進行。
請看《中國日報》的報道:
"Lhasa is now basically restored to order and the Tibet Autonomous Regional Government will ensure the stability there and the smooth operation of the torch relay scaling the world's highest peak," said Jiang Xiaoyu, executive vice president of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (BOCOG) in a press conference Wednesday.
北京奧組委執行副主席蔣效愚在本周三的新聞發布會上說:“目前,拉薩已經基本恢復了正常秩序,西藏自治區政府會努力維護當地的穩定并確??邕^世界之巔的火炬傳遞活動順利進行。”
Torch relay 就是“火炬接力、火炬傳遞”的意思,relay在體育比賽中指“接力”,比如relay race 就是“接力賽跑”;另外,relay還有“中轉、轉播”等意思。
例如:
Please relay the news to the villagers.
請把新聞轉播給村民。
We receive telecasts from Beijing through relay stations.
我們通過中轉站接收北京的電視節目。
