美国国家公共电台 NPR 距奥运会开幕仅剩三天 东京奥运村暴发疫情（在线收听）

Thousands of athletes and Olympic officials have arrived in Japan's capital for the 2020 Olympic Games.

数千名运动员和奥运官员抵达日本首都参加2020年奥运会。

If you'll recall, they had been postponed by a year because of the global coronavirus pandemic.

如果大家还记得的话，因为全球冠状病毒疫情，奥运会被推迟一年。

And there has been a lot of controversy over holding them now, with only a fraction of the Japanese population fully vaccinated.

现在举行奥运会的争议依然很大，因为只有少数日本民众完全接种了疫苗。

So now just days before the games are scheduled to begin in Tokyo, three people inside the Olympic Village have tested positive for COVID-19.

就在东京奥运会即将开幕前，奥运村中有三人在新冠肺炎检测中呈阳性。

That village is where the athletes will live during the competition.

奥运村是运动员在比赛期间居住的地方。

NPR's Leila Fadel is in Tokyo and joins us now to discuss these upcoming games. Hi, Leila.

莱拉·法德尔现在将从东京和我们连线，就即将开始的奥运会进行报道。你好，莱拉。

Hi.

你好。

What do we know about these positive cases?

我们对这些阳性病例了解多少？

So the spokeperson for the Tokyo Organizing Committee said the positive cases are all from the same country,

东京奥组委发言人表示，这些阳性病例都来自同一个国家，

two athletes involved in a team sport and an official connected to that team.

包括两名团体运动员，一名与该团队有关的官员。

So now the entire group has been isolated, meals being delivered to their rooms.

阳性病例都来自同一个国家。现在整个团队已被隔离，饭菜会被送到他们的房间。

People who were in close contact were also isolated.

密切接触者也被隔离。

And it raises concerns, concerns that many have been voicing for months about these games going forward in a global pandemic,

这也引发了人们的担忧，数月以来许多人一直在表达他们的担忧，因为奥运会要在全球疫情背景下举行，

in a country where less than a quarter of the population has been fully vaccinated.

而且主办国只有不到四分之一的人口完全疫苗了疫苗。

But they're going forward. And the opening ceremony here in Tokyo is on Friday.

但奥运会正在推进。东京奥运会开幕式将在周五举行。

And the worry is that there will be more positive cases in the coming days.

人们担心，未来几天还会出现更多阳性病例。

I mean, you just arrived in Tokyo, and you're under quarantine, right? I mean, how strict are these COVID measures?

你刚刚抵达东京，现在正在隔离，对吧？那里的新冠肺炎相关措施有多严格？

I mean, they're really strict.

非常严格。

Japanese officials and officials with the Olympic Organizing Committee are really trying to limit interactions between people who live here and athletes and others who are coming in for the Olympics.

日本官员和奥组委官员在努力限制当地居民与运动员和其他来奥运会参与者之间的接触。

So far, more than 18,000 people have come in for the games.

到目前为止，已有超过1.8万人抵达东京参加奥运会。

And prior to getting here, they all did what we did, two COVID tests. They had to fill out a health form after health form.

在到这里之前，和我们一样，他们都进行了两项新冠肺炎检测。他们必须一张接一张地填写健康表。

And when we arrived at the airport, we were separated from Japanese citizens or residents of Japan arriving into the country and were put through a different line.

我们到达机场时，与日本公民或日本居民分开，被安排从另一个通道入境。

And we headed through a maze of different pit stops where we were asked to present test results or QR codes that showed we completed various health forms.

我们穿过由多个站点组成的迷宫一样的地方，在那里我们被要求出示检测结果或二维码，证明我们已完成各种健康表格。

We took a saliva test for COVID-19 and then two more stops, one of which was finally immigration.

我们接受了新冠肺炎唾液检测，之后还要经过两个站点，其中一站终于是入境检查点了。

And then each of us individually was taken to our quarantine hotel, where we're quarantined in our tiny rooms for three days.

之后我们每个人都被单独带到隔离酒店，在那里我们被隔离在自已的小房间里三天。

And each day, we take a COVID test to make sure we're negative. And then we'll be able to go out there and report.

每天，我们都要进行新冠检测，以确定我们没有感染。然后我们才可以外出进行报道。

At the airport, it took us about three hours, and we spoke to others that were there from six to as many as 14 hours.

我们完成机场的流程花费了三个小时，我们和其他人交谈后发现，他们花费地时间从6小时到14小时不等。

Wow. That does not sound fun. As you mentioned, holding these games now amid a global pandemic is very controversial.

哇哦。听起来一点也不好玩。你刚才提到，在全球疫情背景下举办奥运会极具争议。

How supportive is the Japanese population of these games?

日本民众对举办奥运会的支持度如何？

Look. As we know, several polls show that the majority of Japanese citizens didn't want the games to go forward.

你看。正如我们所知，一些民意调查显示，大多数日本公民不希望举办奥运会。

The capital is in its fourth state of emergency, this time through August 22, as COVID cases are going up with this delta variant.

日本首都已进入第四个紧急状态，这一次要持续至8月22日，因为德尔塔变种导致的感染病例正在增加。

And there's real concern that these games are going to become a major COVID super spreader event.

人们真正担心的是，奥运会将成为新冠肺炎超级传播事件。

Despite the testing before arrival, people are coming back positive when they get here.

尽管在抵达日本前进行了检测，但人们到这里后仍呈现阳性结果。

And there are still more people coming into the country every day.

另外，每天仍有很多人来到这个国家。

But these games appear to be happening. Billions of dollars have been spent.

但奥运会似乎会照常进行。这场赛事已花费数十亿美元。

Many of the athletes are already here, and they've been training for years for this moment.

许多运动员已经抵达，他们为了这一刻训练了很多年。

So it's a matter of figuring out how to put the games on as safely as possible. And the question is, is it possible?

因此，现在的问题是如何尽可能安全地举办奥运会。但问题是，有可能吗？

That's NPR's Leila Fadel in Tokyo. Thank you very much.
