这一言论出自执政党自民党干事长二阶俊博。随着日本各地新冠肺炎病例上升，他接受了东京广播公司的采访。
"If it seems impossible to go on with the games, they must be definitely canceled," Nikai said. "If there is a surge in infections because of the Olympics, there will be no meaning to having the Olympics."
二阶俊博表示：“如果似乎办不了奥运会，就必须明确取消。如果由于奥运会导致感染激增，那么举办奥运会就没有任何意义。”
However, Nikai added that he felt it was important for Japan to keep working to put on a successful Olympic Games. "It is a big opportunity. I want to make it a success," he said. "We will have many issues to resolve and prepare, and it is important to take care of them one by one."
然而二阶俊博还表示，他认为对于日本来说，继续努力举办一届成功的奥运会非常重要。他说：“这是一个很好的机会，我想让它成功举办。我们将有需要问题需要解决和准备，因此一项一项地解决这些问题就很重要。”

The recent rise in COVID-19 cases included 729 new cases in Tokyo on Thursday, the most since early February. Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike urged people in the city to take extra protections and asked people from outside Tokyo not to visit.
最近新冠肺炎病例上升，包括周四东京出现729例新病例，是2月初以来的新高。东京都知事小池百合子督促东京市民采取进一步保护措施，并要求东京以外人士不要前来。
Tokyo, Osaka and several other areas began new anti-virus restrictions3 this month. The measures limited operating hours for restaurants and drinking establishments. Local media reported other areas were likely to put new restrictions in place as well.

Another Japanese official told a local television station that if the Tokyo Olympics do go forward, the events may be held with no fans.

"That may mean there will probably be no spectators."
