里约残奥会预算遭削减 56年来从未出现
"Never before in the 56-year history of the Paralympic Games have we faced circumstances like this," said IPC president Sir Philip Craven.
国际残奥委会主席菲利普·克雷文表示：“残奥会56年的历史中从未出现过我们现在面临的这种状况。”
With 9 days to the start of the Games, however, the IPC says Rio's organizing committee has not raised enough money to fund the Paralympics.
距残奥会开幕还有9天，不过国际残奥委会称，里约组委会还没有筹到足够的经费为残奥会提供资金支持。
This is due to Brazil's struggling economy and the fact that only 12% of available tickets have so far been sold for the Games, which start on 7 September.
巴西经济不景气以及截至目前残奥会门票仅售出了12%是导致这一状况的原因。残奥会将于9月7日开幕。 |
