大寫的尷尬! 巴黎洛杉磯拒絕分奧運主辦權!

Paris 2024 Olympic bid directors rejected the notion of hosting the 2028 Games, saying their target was the 2024 edition, reflecting the position of rival bidder Los Angeles.

巴黎2024年奧運會申辦負責人近日拒絕了舉辦2028年奧運會的提議，稱他們的目標就是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 International Olympic Committee 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，爲了解決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2024年奧申委負責人艾蒂安·索拜厄斯告訴法新社：“我們正申辦2024年奧運會，沒理由去談論2028年--我們對此沒有任何計劃，沒有項目，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.

索拜厄斯說道：“首先，在奧運村的準備上我們就會遇到技術難題。”他解釋稱，巴黎已經準備在國家體育場附近開工建設，而再延後四年就會麻煩許多。

"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.

洛杉磯2024年奧申委的聲明則稱：“洛杉磯纔是在這個奧林匹克運動關鍵時刻舉辦奧運的適合城市，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，公衆支持率也達到88%，只有洛杉磯舉辦2024年夏奧會，才能爲2024以及其後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。”
