The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Japanese organizers are set to publish a rulebook for the upcoming Tokyo Olympic Games.
国际奥委会和日本组委会将为即将到来的东京奥运会发布一本规章手册。
The book will be released next week. It will explain how 15,400 Olympic and Paralympic sports competitors and tens of thousands of others will try to safely enter Japan when the Olympics begin in six months.
这本手册将于下周发行。它将解释在6个月之后东京奥运会开幕时，15400名奥运会和残奥会运动云以及数万名其他人士将如何安全进入日本。
Local organizers and the IOC are hoping to push back against recent media reports claiming the Olympics will be canceled, as Tokyo and much of Japan are still under a COVID-19 state of emergency.
最近有媒体报道称因为东京和日本大部分地区仍然处于新冠肺炎紧急状态，故本届奥运会将被取消，日本组委会和国际奥委会都希望能够对此进行反驳。
The release of the plan is set to take place at IOC headquarters in Switzerland on February 4. Tokyo organizers are to present the plan the following day.
该方案定于2月4日在瑞士国际奥委会总部发布。东京组委会将在次日发布该方案。
Lucia Montanarella is head of IOC media operations. She said the organizers created four different possible situations. One includes continued travel restrictions, for example. Another imagines the pandemic is nearly over.
露西亚·蒙大娜瑞拉是国际奥委会媒体运营总监。她说，组委会提出了4种不同的可能局面。例如，其中一种局面包括持续的旅行限制。另一种局面设想这种流行病行将结束。
Montanarella added, "The present scenario is very much like one of those that we'd created, with the pandemic still among us, and some countries being able to contain it, some not."
蒙大娜瑞拉还表示：“目前的情况跟我们提出的一种局面非常相似，大流行仍然在我们当中，有些国家有能力遏制住它，有些国家则不行。”
The book will explain plans for creating safe bubbles in Tokyo. It will be updated with changing rules and requirements as the opening date gets closer.
这本手册将会解释在东京制造安全泡泡的方案。随着开幕日临近，它将随着规则和要求的变化而更新。
The Olympic Games are set to start July 23. The Paralympics are to open one month later, on August 24.
东京奥运会定于7月23日开幕。残奥会定于一个月之后的8月24日开幕。
Athletes and those traveling to Japan -- coaches, judges, members of the media -- are likely to face some self-quarantine periods before they leave their home country. This will be followed by tests at the airport, tests after arriving in Japan, and additional testing for those staying in the Athletes Village.
运动员以及前往日本的教练、裁判和媒体人员在离开自己的祖国前可能会面临一段自我隔离时期。接下来是在机场进行检测、抵达日本后检测以及对入住运动员村的人们进行额外检测。
Is there support for the Games?
各方支持奥运吗？
A major unanswered question involves fans. How many fans will be permitted to watch events? Also, will only fans already in Japan be included?
一个悬而未决的重大问题涉及到观众。本届奥运会将允许多少观众现场观看比赛？另外，这里面是否只包括已经在日本的观众？
Olympic Minister Seiko Hashimoto said Tuesday that those decisions will be announced "by the spring." Fewer fans means more costs for Japan. The local organizing committee expected to receive $800 million from ticket sales. Any drop in sales will have to be made up by Japanese government groups.
日本奥运担当大臣桥本圣子周二表示，这些决定将在春季前公布。观众越少，日本的承办成本就越高。日本组委会预计将从门票销售中获得8亿美元。任何销售下降都必须由日本政府机构来弥补。
Craig Spence is a spokesman for the International Paralympic Committee. He said organizers must get the support of the Japanese public. Recent opinion studies show that 80 percent of Japanese people questioned think the Olympics should be canceled or postponed.
克雷格·斯彭斯是国际残奥委员会的发言人。他说，组织者必须得到日本公众的支持。最近的民调表明，80%的日本民众认为奥运会应当被取消或推迟。
IOC President Thomas Bach is pushing for everyone involved in the Olympics to be vaccinated. But the World Health Organization said earlier this week that Olympic athletes should not be placed ahead of healthcare workers, old people and those at risk of getting severely ill.
国际奥委会主席托马斯·巴赫督促所有参与奥运会的人士都接种疫苗。但是世卫组织本周早些时候表示，奥运会运动员不应该排在医护人员、老年人以及可能感染重病的人士前面。
Japan has recorded more than 5,000 deaths connected to COVID-19. Its healthcare system is under pressure with deaths and new cases rising. A vaccination program is expected to start next month. But vaccines will not be available to the general public until later in spring.
日本已经录得超过5千例与新冠肺炎相关的死亡。随着死亡人数和新增病例的增加，日本医疗体系面临压力。疫苗接种计划有望于下个月开始。但是直到春季晚些时候才能向普通民众提供疫苗。
The president of the Japan Medical Association, Dr. Toshio Nakagawa, issued a warning last week when asked about the Olympics.
日本医学协会会长中川俊夫上周在被问到奥运会时发布了一项警告。
"Many people will come from abroad, and it's a huge number, even with just the athletes," Nakagawa said. "In this situation, if coronavirus patients appear among them as a collapse of the medical system is happening and is spreading, it will not be possible to accept them."
中川俊夫表示：“即使是只有运动员，也会有很多人从国外来到日本。在这种情况下，如果在他们当中出现新冠病毒患者，医疗系统出现崩溃和扩散，那么就无法接收他们。”
