大寫的尷尬!巴黎洛杉磯拒絕平分奧運主辦權

在布達佩斯、羅馬、漢堡和波士頓等城市相繼退出申辦后，2024年夏奧會主辦權的爭奪戰已經變成了一場“沒有銅牌”的比賽。為此國際奧委會曾提出將2028年夏季奧運會也納入進來，兩座城市各獲得一屆舉辦權的設想。但僅剩的競爭者巴黎和洛杉磯均表示他們只對2024感興趣，而不是2028！

Paris 2024 Olympic bid directors rejected on Wednesday the notion of hosting the 2028 Games, saying their target was the 2024 edition, reflecting the position of rival bidders Los Angeles.
巴黎2024年夏季奧運會申辦負責人本周三拒絕了舉辦2028年奧運會的提議，表示他們的目標就是申辦2024年奧運會，競爭對手洛杉磯市也持同樣態度。

Statements from the two bidders come in the wake of reports the IOC had been planning to resolve the 2024 competition by offering the losing candidate the opportunity to host an Olympiad by doling out the 2024 and 2028 editions at the same time this September.
此前有報道稱，為了解決2024年兩大城市的競爭難題，國際奧委會準備在今年九月同時揭曉2024年和2028年奧運會主辦城市，2024年奧運會申辦失利的一方將獲得2028年奧運會主辦權。

"We are working on 2024 and there's no reason for us to talk about 2028 -- we have nothing to offer for that, no project and no proposal," Etienne Thobois, the Paris 2024 bid director told AFP.
巴黎奧申委負責人Etienne Thobois告訴法新社：“我們正申辦2024年奧運會，談論2028年沒有道理，我們沒有什么可提供的，沒有相關的項目，也沒有提議。”

"We would have technical difficulties with the Olympic Village to start with," Thobois said, explaining deals were in place for 2024 for a site next to the national stadium that would be complicated to extend by four years.
他說：“首先，在奧運村的準備上我們就會遇到技術難題。”他解釋說，巴黎已經準備在國家體育場附近開工建設，而再延后四年就會麻煩許多。

Paris bid spokesman and multi-Olympic gold medallists Tony Estanguet also rejected the notion of hosting the Games in 2028 at a meeting in London on Tuesday.
巴黎奧運會申辦發言人和多屆奧運冠軍托尼?埃斯坦蓋周二在倫敦的一次會晤上也拒絕了舉辦2028年奧運會的提議。

"There will be no Olympics in Paris in 2028," the former champion canoeist said.
這位前皮劃艇冠軍說：“我們不能接受2028年奧運會。”

"It has always been the deal with our partners that this bid was about 2024. Our project is non-transferable to 2028."
“我們和合作伙伴達成的協議一直就是申辦2024年奧運會，我們的項目不能轉到2028年去。”

"Los Angeles is the right city at this critical time for the Olympic Movement and is only bidding for 2024," a statement from LA 2024 said on Tuesday.
洛杉磯奧申委周二也發表聲明稱，“洛杉磯才是在這個奧林匹克運動關鍵時刻的最適合城市，洛杉磯只申辦2024年奧運會”。

"With all permanent venues already built and 88% public support, only LA 2024 offers the lowest-risk and truly sustainable solution for the future of the Olympic Movement in 2024 and beyond."
“所有永久場館均已建成，公眾支持率也達到88%，只有洛杉磯舉辦2024年夏奧會才能為2024以及其后奧林匹克運動的未來提供風險最低和真正可持續的解決方案。”
