上周三,朝鲜领导人金正恩和韩国总统文在寅发表声明称,朝韩两国计划共同申办2032年夏季奥运会。
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in said in a statement last Wednesday that the countries planned to jointly bid for the 2032 Summer Olympics.
在朝韩峰会上,两位领导人没有详细说明举办奥运会的具体城市,也没有说明后续计划和进展。
At a major summit, the two leaders gave no details of which cities might host certain events at the games, or how advanced the plans were.
一般来说,国际奥委会要等到当届奥运会前7年才会宣布主办城市。这样的话,朝韩双方可以在2025年前共同申报。
The International Olympic Committee traditionally does not announce host cities until seven years ahead of the games. That would give the Koreas until 2025 to put together a joint bid.
德国以及澳大利亚的布里斯班已经宣布了申办2032年奥运会的计划。此外,印度奥委会也表示有意申办2032年奥运会。
Germany has already announced plans for a multi-city bid for 2032, as has Brisbane, Australia. The India Olympic Committee has also indicated its interest in hosting the 2032 Games.
如果朝韩成功申办奥运会的话,将意味着韩国第二次举办夏季奥运会,第一次是1988年的汉城夏季奥运会。今年2月,韩国还举办了平昌冬季奥运会。
A successful bid by the Koreas would mark the second time South Korea hosted or co-hosted the Summer Games, the first being 1988 in Seoul. South Korea also hosted the Pyeongchang Winter Games in February.
接下来的两届奥运会也将在亚洲举办,分别是2020年的东京夏季奥运会和2022年的北京冬季奥运会。北京还曾于2008年举办过夏季奥运会。
Asia also features in the next two Olympics -- the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo and the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing, which also hosted the summer version in 2008.
