Winter Olympic medals make highly anticipated debut
北京2022年冬奧會獎牌“同心”發布!背后隱藏這些設計細節
Inspired by Chinese jade ornaments, the official medals of the Beijing 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games made an impressive debut on Tuesday, 100 days from the start of the gala event.
10月26日,北京2022年冬奧會和冬殘奧會官方獎牌于奧運會開幕倒計時100天之際精彩亮相,獎牌以中國玉飾品為靈感。
At 8:30 pm, when the countdown clock reached 100 days, Vice-Premier Han Zheng, together with China's first Winter Olympic gold medalist Yang Yang and Olympic champion swimmer Zhang Yufei, unveiled a set of gold, silver and bronze medals out of a showcase modeled as a pile of ice bricks, putting an international spotlight on the glittering metal discs that represent the ultimate dreams of winter sports athletes.
當晚8點30分,當冬奧倒計時顯示100天時,國務院副總理韓正與中國第一位冬奧會金牌獲得者楊揚和奧運會游泳冠軍張雨霏一起為獎牌揭幕,一套金銀銅牌被置于冰磚樣的陳列柜中,代表冬季運動運動員終極夢想的耀眼金牌讓世界矚目。
Inspired by the exquisite "yubi", an ancient Chinese jade artifact dating back some 5,000 years, each medal features carvings of the Olympic rings at its heart on the front with the words "XXIV Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022" etched around them. Engravings of cloud patterns, an element used on the torch of the 2008 Summer Games, snowflakes and ice scratches fill the outer rings.
獎牌的靈感來源于精美的“玉璧”,距今約5000年的中國古代玉器。獎牌正面中心刻有奧林匹克五環,周圍刻著“第二十四屆北京2022年冬奧會”的英文全稱。獎牌上鐫刻祥云紋,外環刻有冰雪紋。2008年夏季奧運會火炬也使用了祥云紋元素。
The concentric rings around the center represent the pursuit of unity and harmony common in Chinese culture, while echoing the Olympic values of promoting solidarity, inclusiveness and peace among mankind.
圍繞中心的同心環代表了中國文化中對團結和諧的普遍追求,同時呼應了促進人類團結、包容與和平的奧林匹克價值觀。
The reverse side bears the Beijing 2022 emblem at the center, with the outer rings dotted with 24 stars strung together by circles, representing the 24th edition of the Winter Olympics and featuring the name of the medal event.
背面中心刻有北京2022年奧運會會徽,外層點綴著24顆星星,用圓圈串在一起,代表第24屆冬奧會,獎牌上還刻有獲獎運動項目的名稱。
Sharing the same design with slight changes, the 2022 Paralympic Winter Games medals were also unveiled on Tuesday, with the International Paralympic Committee's logo carved on the obverse side and the Beijing 2022 Paralympic emblem on the reverse.
在同天揭幕的北京2022年冬殘奧會獎牌采取相同的設計,只是略有改動。獎牌的正面刻著國際殘奧委員會的標志,背面刻著北京2022年殘奧會會徽。
