Rio 2016 organisers have revealed the medals that will be competed for at this summer's Olympics.
2016年里約奧運(yùn)的組委會(huì)公布了今夏奧運(yùn)賽場(chǎng)將競(jìng)逐的獎(jiǎng)牌。

A total of 2,488 medals, each weighing 500g, have been produced - with 812 gold, 812 silver and 864 bronze.
制作的獎(jiǎng)牌總數(shù)為2488枚，包括812枚金牌，812枚銀牌和864枚銅牌，每一枚獎(jiǎng)牌重500克。

They were made with "sustainability at their heart", say organisers.
組委會(huì)表示，獎(jiǎng)牌制作是“從可循環(huán)使用的目標(biāo)出發(fā)的”。

The gold medals are free from mercury, the silver and bronze medals are made from 30% recycled materials, and half of the plastic in their ribbons is from recycled plastic bottles.
金牌不含汞，銀牌和銅牌所用的材料有30%是再生材料，獎(jiǎng)牌綬帶所用的塑料有一半來(lái)自回收的塑料瓶。

The designs feature laurel leaves - a symbol of victory in ancient Greece - surrounding the Rio 2016 logo, and organisers say they celebrate "the relationship between the strengths of Olympic heroes and the forces of nature".
獎(jiǎng)牌的設(shè)計(jì)圖案是環(huán)繞著2016里約奧運(yùn)標(biāo)志的月桂樹葉，月桂樹葉在古希臘象征著勝利。主辦方表示，這是對(duì)“奧運(yùn)英雄們的力量與自然力量間的關(guān)系”的贊頌。

In line with the ecological theme of the Games, the podiums on which the athletes will receive the medals are made from organic materials and have been designed to be reused as furniture after the Games.
和奧運(yùn)會(huì)的生態(tài)主題相一致，運(yùn)動(dòng)員們接受獎(jiǎng)牌時(shí)將登上的領(lǐng)獎(jiǎng)臺(tái)由有機(jī)材料制成，根據(jù)設(shè)計(jì)理念，領(lǐng)獎(jiǎng)臺(tái)在奧運(yùn)會(huì)結(jié)束后可改造成家具循環(huán)使用。

There are 2,642 Paralympic medals: 877 gold, 876 silver and 889 bronze and each has a device inside that uses tiny steel balls to make a sound when they are shaken, allowing visually impaired athletes to identify the colour by increasing in volume from bronze to gold.
殘奧會(huì)獎(jiǎng)牌共有2642枚，包括877枚金牌，876枚銀牌和889枚銅牌。每一枚獎(jiǎng)牌都內(nèi)置有一個(gè)小機(jī)關(guān)，利用小鋼珠讓獎(jiǎng)牌在搖動(dòng)時(shí)發(fā)出聲音。獎(jiǎng)牌等級(jí)越高，發(fā)出的聲音越大。有視覺(jué)障礙的運(yùn)動(dòng)員可通過(guò)這種方式區(qū)分獎(jiǎng)牌。

The bronze medals have 16 steel balls and make the lowest sound, the silver medals have 20 balls and the golds have 28, producing the loudest noise.
銅牌有16顆鋼珠，發(fā)出的聲音最小；銀牌有20顆鋼珠，金牌有28顆，發(fā)出的聲音最響。

All of the medals also have the words 'Rio 2016 Paralympic Games' written on them in Braille.
所有獎(jiǎng)牌也都刻上了“里約2016殘奧會(huì)”的盲文字樣。
