FROM THE 9TH CENTURY B.C.,

从公元前9世纪开始，

athletes and spectators traveling to the Olympics were protected by a truce that stilled feuding states during the Games.

奥运会期间，即便是积怨已深的国家也会暂时搁置分歧，保护参赛运动员和观众。

The ekecheiria was history's earliest attempt to separate sport from politics.

“停战”（希腊语）是史上首次将体育与政治分开的尝试。

Although tarnished by Cold War boycotts in the 1980s, the notion of the Olympics as peacemaker endures.

尽管20世纪80年代冷战期间频频的抵制活动笼罩了当时的奥运会，但奥运会作为和平缔造者的理念依然存在。

In PyeongChang, it's the Koreas' turn.

在平昌奥运会上，轮到朝鲜和韩国放下争议了。

North and South will march under a united flag and field a joint team in women's ice hockey, despite the two nations' officially remaining at war.

尽管两国官方上仍在对战，但奥运会期间，朝韩两国将一同进场，并组建女子冰球联合队。

The outreach comes as tensions have spiked following Kim Jong Un's accelerating nuclear and missile tests and his escalating war of words with U.S. President Donald Trump.

随着金正恩加紧核试验、导弹试验及其与美国总统特朗普的口水战，原本紧张的局势已经升级，所以双方才会朝和平主动迈进。

South Korean President Moon Jae-in hopes the show of unity can arrest what many fear is a relentless march toward nuclear catastrophe.

很多人都担心朝鲜执意引发核灾难，韩国总统文在寅希望，两国表现出的团结能够消除人们的这种担忧。

So far, the sides are playing nice.

到目前为止，双方都表现得很好。

North Korea is sending a 140-member orchestra, a cheering squad of young women,

朝鲜派遣了一支140名成员的管弦乐队，由一群年轻女性组成的拉拉队，

and 22 athletes to compete in ice hockey, figure skating, short-track speedskating, cross-country and Alpine skiing.

以及22名运动员，他们将参加冰上曲棍球、花样滑冰、短道速滑、越野滑雪和高山滑雪等项目。

(None are expected to medal.)

（没有一个项目有希望获奖）。
