近日,日本奧運籌備委員會發(fā)布了2020年東京奧運會和殘奧會的官方會徽。
The logo, called Harmonized Chequered Emblem,replaces the first choice which was thrown out lastyear after the designer was accused of plagiarism.The designer denied stealing the idea.
新會徽被稱為“組市松紋”,代替了先前發(fā)布的第一個會徽圖案。據(jù)悉,該會徽的設(shè)計者被指控抄襲。不過該設(shè)計者否認自己在創(chuàng)作中存在抄襲。
Organisers said the new design used traditional Japanese colours and patterns to represent theintercultural themes of the Games.
奧運主辦方發(fā)表聲明稱,此次的新會徽使用了日本傳統(tǒng)的色彩和符號,以此來展現(xiàn)奧林匹克跨文化的主題。
"It incorporates the message of 'unity in diversity'," they said, and the idea that the Games"seek to promote diversity as a platform to connect the world".
主辦方表示,“新會徽同時體現(xiàn)了'統(tǒng)一性和多樣性'的理念”,而且還很好的詮釋了奧運會作為連接世界的舞臺,從而促進多樣性的作用。
When designer Asao Tokolo found out he had won the re-opened contest he said "my mindhas gone blank. I put a lot of time and effort into this design as though it was my own child."
當設(shè)計師野老朝雄得知他在重新開始的會徽征集大賽中脫穎而出的時候,他說:“當時我的大腦一片空白。我在這個設(shè)計中傾注了大量的時間和心血,它就好像我的孩子一樣。”
The Games organising committee never agreed to the allegation of plagiarism but said therewere too many doubts over the emblem for it to be used.
此外,主辦方?jīng)]有承認第一次的會徽涉嫌抄襲,但發(fā)表聲明稱,因外界針對該會徽存在太多疑問,所以決定不會使用它。
The logo dispute came shortly after Tokyo decided to scrap the designs for the main Olympicstadium because of spiralling construction costs. A cheaper design, by Japanese architectKengo Kuma, was chosen in December last year.
此前由于不斷上升的建筑成本,日本放棄了最初的奧運主場館設(shè)計,而隨后便發(fā)生了圍繞會徽的糾紛。在去年12月,主辦方選擇了一個由日本建筑師隈研吾設(shè)計的更為低廉的建造計劃。
