 火炬?zhèn)鬟f：torch relay [ 2008-03-20 16:09 ]
北京奧組委執(zhí)行副主席蔣效愚19日在回答記者提問時(shí)表示，最近在西藏發(fā)生的事件不會(huì)影響北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)火炬接力活動(dòng)的順利進(jìn)行。
請看《中國日報(bào)》的報(bào)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(zhí)行副主席蔣效愚在本周三的新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上說：“目前，拉薩已經(jīng)基本恢復(fù)了正常秩序，西藏自治區(qū)政府會(huì)努力維護(hù)當(dāng)?shù)氐姆€(wěn)定并確?？邕^世界之巔的火炬?zhèn)鬟f活動(dòng)順利進(jìn)行。”
Torch relay 就是“火炬接力、火炬?zhèn)鬟f”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(zhuǎn)、轉(zhuǎn)播”等意思。
例如：
Please relay the news to the villagers.
請把新聞轉(zhuǎn)播給村民。
We receive telecasts from Beijing through relay stations.
我們通過中轉(zhuǎn)站接收北京的電視節(jié)目。
