The 2004 summer Games may have only just started in Athens, but the Olympic focus shifted to the future on Sunday. As delegations from the five countries vying to host the summer Olympic Games in 2012 presented their bids to the media in Athens. 虽然2004年雅典奥运会才刚刚开始,但是奥运会已经将目光放在了更长远的未来上
Among the most persuasive, was New York City Deputy Mayor Daniel L. Doctoroff who believed that bringing the games to the 'Big Apple' would also help to repair strained relationships with other countries. 在所有的申办城市中,纽约的市场多克多夫是最具有说服力的一名。他相信如果夏季奥运会在纽约举行,会帮助美国进一步修复和其他一些国家的紧张关系。 "Now more than ever, New Yorkers have a deep need to express our solidarity with the world and to serve the ultimate objective of the Olympic movement: to promote peace through sport. We are aware that there are complex feelings about our country, but we believe that an Olympic Games in New York will help strengthen and renew relationships around the world. We are committed to earning the trust of the IOC (International Olympic Committee) and becoming the best partner possible, so that we can raise the torch over the lights of New York City." “在现在这么一个时间,纽约人比以前任何时候都要想表现自己的团结。这一切都是为了服从于一个终极目的,就是通过体育来传播和平。我们知道有些人对美国的感觉非常复杂,但是我们都相信如果奥运会在纽约举办的话,将会给我们一个机会来改善和其他国家之间的关系。我们会得到国际奥委会的信任并成为最好的伙伴之一,只有这样,我们才能在纽约举起火炬燃烧的光芒。” The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will decide which city will stage the 2012 Olympic Games at a meeting in Singapore in July 2005. 国际奥委会会在2005年7月在新加坡的一次会议中最终决定2012年夏季奥运会的举办城市。 |
