About 450,000 condoms will be distributed during the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, three times more than for the London Games four years ago, the International Olympic Committee says.
國際奧委會表示，在里約奧運會期間將會分發(fā)近45萬個避孕套，該數量是四年前倫敦奧運會的三倍。

Part of the reason was because 100,000 female condoms will be available for the first time, along with 350,000 condoms for men. About 175,000 packets of lubricant are also being supplied.
其部分緣由在于除了35萬個男性避孕套之外，將首次分發(fā)10萬個女性避孕套。同時也會提供約17.5萬包潤滑劑。

The IOC says the condoms would encourage 10,500 athletes and staff to practice safe sex.
國際奧委會表示，避孕套能鼓勵1.05萬名運動員與工作人員進行安全性行為。

It's not clear if the increase is related to Brazil's outbreak of the Zika virus. The reporters asked the question of the IOC in an email on Friday but did not receive an immediate response.
目前尚不清楚避孕套數量的上漲是否與巴西寨卡病毒的爆發(fā)相關。星期五，記者就此在一封電子郵件中詢問了國家奧委會相關問題，但未收到及時答復。

The Zika virus is carried by mosquitoes, but can also be transmitted sexually. The virus is linked to microcephaly, a condition in which babies are born with undersized brains and skulls.
寨卡病毒通過蚊蟲進行傳播，也可經由性行為傳播。該病毒與嬰兒小頭癥有關，即嬰兒出生時大腦和頭骨小于正常尺寸。

The condoms will be distributed free from a clinic in the Athletes' Village, or from vending machines. The village opens on July 24 with the Olympics opening on Aug 5.
避孕套將會在奧運村的診所免費發(fā)放，或可在自動售貨機獲取。奧運會于8月5日開幕，奧運村則在7月24日開放。

Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo, citing the IOC and local organizers, said the increase was not related to the Zika virus.
巴西《圣保羅頁報》援引國際奧委會與當地主辦方的話稱，避孕套發(fā)放數量的增加與寨卡病毒毫無關系。
