請(qǐng)看例句:
The correct version of Chinese national flag was raised at the medal ceremony for the women's epee team on Thursday.
在當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間11日舉行的女子重劍團(tuán)體賽頒獎(jiǎng)儀式上升起了正確版本的中國(guó)國(guó)旗。
在當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間6日進(jìn)行的女子射擊10米氣步槍決賽(the women's 10m air rifle final)中,中國(guó)選手杜麗、易思玲分獲銀牌和銅牌。有眼尖的網(wǎng)友(eagle-eyed Internet/web users)發(fā)現(xiàn),在賽后舉行的頒獎(jiǎng)儀式(medal/awarding ceremony)上,里約奧組委所使用的中國(guó)國(guó)旗圖案有誤,四顆小星竟然是平行排列的,而不是環(huán)拱指向大星(the four smaller stars all positioned horizontally rather than circling around and pointing to the larger one)。
《中華人民共和國(guó)國(guó)旗法》明確表示,"中華人民共和國(guó)國(guó)旗是五星紅旗(Five-star Red Flag),旗面為紅色,長(zhǎng)寬比例為3:2。左上方綴黃色五角星五顆,四顆小星環(huán)拱在一顆大星的右面(the four smaller stars should be rotated on the right side of the larger one),并各有一個(gè)角尖正對(duì)大星的中心點(diǎn)(point toward the center of the larger star)。"
事后,中國(guó)駐里約總領(lǐng)館(Chinese Consulate General in Rio de Janeiro)第一時(shí)間要求里約奧組委立刻糾正中國(guó)國(guó)旗上的錯(cuò)誤(ask the organizing committee of the Rio Olympics to immediately correct the mistakes on the Chinese national flags)。里約奧組委為"錯(cuò)誤國(guó)旗"(incorrect/flawed national flags)問題表達(dá)了深深的歉意,并表示已聯(lián)系生產(chǎn)國(guó)旗的廠商(contact the manufacturer who produces the flags),令其趕制正確的國(guó)旗(correct flags)。據(jù)悉,負(fù)責(zé)制作本次頒獎(jiǎng)國(guó)旗的是來自巴西圣保羅州(San Paulo)的第三方公司(a third-party company)(非中國(guó)公司),經(jīng)過30個(gè)小時(shí)加班加點(diǎn)(put in extra hours),該廠商將原本需要四五個(gè)工作日(working days)才能完成的任務(wù)提前完成,并火速運(yùn)抵里約。

2. 中國(guó)元素
Chinese elements
請(qǐng)看例句:
From mosquito net to cupping therapy, Chinese elements pervade the Rio Olympics.
從蚊帳到拔火罐,中國(guó)元素風(fēng)靡里約奧運(yùn)會(huì)。
本屆奧運(yùn)會(huì)上,"洪荒少女"傅園慧、小鮮肉寧澤濤圈粉無數(shù)(gain legions of fans, garner a swathe of fans);極富中國(guó)特色的蚊帳(mosquito/bed net)和拔火罐療法(cupping therapy)也讓外國(guó)網(wǎng)友大開眼界。從場(chǎng)館、軌道交通到奧運(yùn)紀(jì)念品(Olympic souvenir),隨處可見"中國(guó)制造"("Made in China" products)……里約奧運(yùn)會(huì)幾乎成了中國(guó)"特產(chǎn)"(Chinese specialties)推介會(huì)(promotional campaign)。
除了"洪荒少女(Primordial Girl)"傅園慧的夸張表情和率真性格讓外媒大加贊賞,寧澤濤也憑借完美身材(incredible physique)讓全球粉絲淪陷(send supporters around the world into meltdown)。據(jù)《每日郵報(bào)》報(bào)道,寧澤濤英俊的外形(dashing good looks)在社交媒體引起不小的轟動(dòng),獲封老公稱號(hào)(be described as "husband material"),有人稱贊他擁有模特般的帥氣相貌(be praised for his "model" good looks),關(guān)于他的驚艷腹肌的稱贊是最常見的(the most common compliments are about his spectacular abdominal muscles)。
去年年底開始,寨卡病毒(Zika virus)在巴西肆虐。作為寨卡病毒的主要傳播者(as the primary transmitters of the Zika virus),蚊子成為令里約奧組委頭疼的一大問題(mosquitoes have been a serious cause of concern to the Rio Olympics Committee)。各個(gè)代表團(tuán)都在想方設(shè)法防蚊,例如驅(qū)蚊手環(huán)(anti-mosquito wrist straps)、驅(qū)蚊運(yùn)動(dòng)服(mosquito-repellant sportswear)。而中國(guó)代表團(tuán)帶去的蚊帳最讓奧運(yùn)村震驚(astonish the Olympic village most of all),很多外媒都把蚊帳稱為一種"防蚊神器"(a kind of magic anti-mosquito weapon)。體操運(yùn)動(dòng)員馮喆更在微博上表示,有老外想要購(gòu)買他的蚊帳。
中國(guó)特色"拔火罐"也大放異彩,美國(guó)隊(duì)運(yùn)動(dòng)健兒對(duì)該療法頗為熱衷(Team USA athletes are obsessed with the therapy),包括男子體操隊(duì)隊(duì)員(members of the men's gymnastics team)、游泳運(yùn)動(dòng)員邁克爾·菲爾普斯(swimmer Michael Phelps)在內(nèi)的很多奧運(yùn)參賽者被拍到后背、肩部有圓形印記(circular marks on the backs and shoulders)。這種療法需要使用加熱過的圓形玻璃吸杯(round glass suction cups that are warmed),把其扣在身體疼痛的部位(have them placed on sore parts of the body)。這種放置方法會(huì)形成部分真空(the placement of the glass cup creates a partial vacuum),據(jù)信這樣能舒展肌肉,促進(jìn)血液流通(stimulate muscles and blood flow),從而緩解疼痛(relieve pain)。
此外,很多"中國(guó)制造"漂洋過海為全球奧運(yùn)健兒服務(wù)。連接里約熱內(nèi)盧市中心、海灘與奧運(yùn)核心區(qū)(link Rio de Janeiro's city center and beach areas to the main Olympic zone)的地鐵4號(hào)線上的所有列車均為中國(guó)制造(made in China)。部分奧運(yùn)場(chǎng)館的空調(diào)(air conditioners used in some Rio Olympic venues)來自于中國(guó)家電品牌格力。此外,中國(guó)運(yùn)動(dòng)服裝公司361°是里約奧運(yùn)會(huì)的官方制服供應(yīng)商(the official uniform supplier for the Games)。

3. 首金
first gold medal, first gold
請(qǐng)看例句:
Zhang Mengxue won China's first gold at the Rio Olympics by claiming the women's 10m air pistol title on Sunday.
當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間7日,張夢(mèng)雪在里約奧運(yùn)女子10米氣手槍比賽中奪冠,為中國(guó)摘得奧運(yùn)會(huì)首金。
女子10米氣手槍歷來是中國(guó)隊(duì)的優(yōu)勢(shì)項(xiàng)目(dominant event),中國(guó)隊(duì)在本屆奧運(yùn)會(huì)上派出了郭文珺和張夢(mèng)雪的陣容。郭文珺在2008年北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)和2012年倫敦奧運(yùn)會(huì)中獲得該項(xiàng)目的冠軍(Guo Wenjun won the title at 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2012 London Olympics),而里約奧運(yùn)會(huì)是張夢(mèng)雪的奧運(yùn)首秀(first appearance/debut in the Olympics)。
張夢(mèng)雪1991年出生于濟(jì)南市,2004年進(jìn)入濟(jì)南市體校(sports school)射擊隊(duì)進(jìn)行訓(xùn)練,自此開啟了她的射擊之路。2014年底,張夢(mèng)雪被選入國(guó)家射擊隊(duì)(be elected to the national shooting team)。2015年首次代表國(guó)家隊(duì)出戰(zhàn)射擊世界杯韓國(guó)站的張夢(mèng)雪拿到銀牌,為中國(guó)隊(duì)拿到了一張里約奧運(yùn)會(huì)入場(chǎng)券(help Chinese team to get an entrance ticket for the Rio Olympics)。2016年,張夢(mèng)雪又連續(xù)在世界杯泰國(guó)站和德國(guó)站兩次獲得第三名。據(jù)張夢(mèng)雪自己介紹,中國(guó)射擊隊(duì)在兩年里共進(jìn)行了六輪的奧運(yùn)會(huì)選拔賽(Olympic trial),自己拿了前四場(chǎng)冠軍,所以提前兩輪確定入選里約奧運(yùn)名單。
賽前,郭文珺最被看好(Guo was considered as the top favorite before the competition),第一次參賽的張夢(mèng)雪獲得的關(guān)注并不多。直到資格賽中郭文珺意外出局(suffer a shock exit/defeat),張夢(mèng)雪以預(yù)賽第七的成績(jī)晉級(jí)決賽(Zhang placed the seventh in the qualification to get into the final),這名25歲的小將才受到關(guān)注。決賽前3發(fā),張夢(mèng)雪的排名比較靠后。讓人意外的是,之后她的發(fā)揮越來越好,每一輪都能將排名往前提升(move up in the rankings)。在打出滿環(huán)10.9環(huán)后,張夢(mèng)雪擴(kuò)大了自己的領(lǐng)先優(yōu)勢(shì)(broaden the lead),最終以199.4環(huán)的成績(jī)摘下中國(guó)首金(win China's first gold with 199.4 points)。

4. 奧運(yùn)五金王five-time Olympic gold medalist
請(qǐng)看例句:
China's Wu Minxia has splashed into the Olympic record books at Rio 2016, bypassing legend Greg Louganis of the US and her "big sister" Guo Jingjing, to become the first diver to win five Olympic golds.
中國(guó)跳水運(yùn)動(dòng)員吳敏霞在2016里約奧運(yùn)會(huì)上打破紀(jì)錄,超越美國(guó)傳奇跳水健將格雷格·洛加尼斯和師姐郭晶晶,成為史上首位獲得5枚奧運(yùn)金牌的跳水選手。
在當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間7日進(jìn)行的女子雙人3米板比賽中,吳敏霞/施廷懋組合以345.60分的總分獲得冠軍(win the competition with an overall score of 345.60 points),為中國(guó)拿下里約奧運(yùn)跳水項(xiàng)目的首枚金牌(snatch the first diving gold medal of the Rio Olympics for China)。憑此戰(zhàn)績(jī),31歲的老將吳敏霞也創(chuàng)造了多項(xiàng)紀(jì)錄(secure a raft of records)。吳敏霞實(shí)現(xiàn)了女子雙人3米板項(xiàng)目的奧運(yùn)四連冠(win four consecutive Olympic gold medals),打破了由她自己保持的紀(jì)錄(break her own record),成為獲得奧運(yùn)跳水項(xiàng)目獎(jiǎng)牌數(shù)最多的女選手(she has won the most Olympic diving medals by a woman)。此外,她還是獲得奧運(yùn)跳水金牌年齡最大的女性運(yùn)動(dòng)員(the oldest woman to win an Olympic diving gold medal)。
從2004年雅典奧運(yùn)會(huì)至今,吳敏霞共獲得7枚跳水獎(jiǎng)牌(Wu's seven Olympic diving medals dating back to the 2004 Athens Games),超過了前隊(duì)友(former compatriot)郭晶晶的紀(jì)錄(6枚)。在2004年的雅典奧運(yùn)會(huì)上,初出茅廬的(young/inexperienced)吳敏霞與郭晶晶搭檔,獲得女子雙人三米板的金牌(win the women's 3m springboard synchronized gold),并獲得了女子單人三米板的銀牌(win a silver medal in the women's 3m springboard)。2008年在北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)上,吳敏霞同樣與郭晶晶聯(lián)手衛(wèi)冕女子雙人三米板的金牌,并獲得單人三米板的銅牌。2012年倫敦奧運(yùn)會(huì),吳敏霞連續(xù)第3次獲得雙人三米板金牌,這次她的搭檔變成了何姿,此外,吳敏霞還獲得了女子單人3米板的金牌(win a gold medal in the women's 3m springboard individual competition)。
在2天后進(jìn)行的女子雙人十米臺(tái)的決賽中(the women's synchronized 10m platform diving final),24歲的"老將"(veteran)陳若琳搭檔師妹劉蕙瑕收獲了該項(xiàng)目的金牌。
The triumph made Chen a five-time Olympic gold medalist, and put her on a par with compatriot Wu Minxia for the title of most Olympic diving gold medals.
此次勝利使陳若琳成為奧運(yùn)五金王,并使她比肩獲得最多奧運(yùn)跳水金牌的隊(duì)友吳敏霞。
陳若琳是中國(guó)跳水隊(duì)實(shí)現(xiàn)女子跳臺(tái)"大滿貫"(Grand Slam)的第一人,2008年北京奧運(yùn)囊括了單雙人項(xiàng)目的兩枚金牌,2012年倫敦奧運(yùn)會(huì)(2012 Olympic Games in London),她成為首位奧運(yùn)10米跳臺(tái)單雙人項(xiàng)目衛(wèi)冕選手,更成為中國(guó)代表團(tuán)第200枚金牌(the 200th gold medal for the Chinese delegation)得主。如今,陳若琳與吳敏霞一起超越了郭晶晶,成為奧運(yùn)5金選手,更是其中獲得跳臺(tái)世界冠軍最多的選手。

請(qǐng)看例句:
Chinese swimmer Fu Yuanhui's hilarious post-race interviews and exaggerated facial expressions have turned her into an online sensation, with her followers on Weibo rocketing from an already considerable 550,000 people before the Rio Olympics to a staggering 5m this week.
中國(guó)游泳運(yùn)動(dòng)員傅園慧搞笑的賽后采訪和夸張的面部表情使她成為"網(wǎng)紅"。里約奧運(yùn)前,其55萬(wàn)的新浪微博粉絲數(shù)量本已相當(dāng)可觀,本周這一數(shù)字已激增至500萬(wàn)。
8日,里約奧運(yùn)女子100米仰泳半決賽(women's 100m backstroke semi-finals)后,傅園慧接受采訪時(shí)直率的(straight-forward)回答和夸張的表情動(dòng)作讓她一夜爆紅(be suddenly thrust into the limelight/become an overnight superstar),被網(wǎng)友稱為"行走的表情包(walking emoji package)"。其視頻截圖被制作成各種表情包,漫畫形象(cartoon images/sketches)后也火熱出爐。原本生僻的"洪荒之力"成了熱詞,就連外媒也爭(zhēng)先報(bào)道,出現(xiàn)了各種譯法,如primeval/prehistoric/prehistorical powers,mystic energy,《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》則將"洪荒少女"譯為Primordial Girl?!逗辗翌D郵報(bào)》更是直呼傅園慧是"里約奧運(yùn)最可愛的運(yùn)動(dòng)員(the most lovable athlete at the Rio Olympics)"。
有人稱傅園慧是游泳界"一股泥石流",顛覆了人們對(duì)體育明星的印象(overthrow the common impression of sports stars);更多的人則說她真實(shí)、不做作,是"一塊璞玉"、"真正的清流"。《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》稱,與其說傅園慧僅僅是為自己的成績(jī)感到開心(rather than mere happiness at her performances),不如說她展現(xiàn)的是一種幾近純粹的快樂(exhibit something closer to pure joy)。此外,傅園慧對(duì)自己的成績(jī)表現(xiàn)出了謙虛、令人耳目一新的態(tài)度(modest and refreshing attitude to her achievements)。
10日晚,傅園慧亮相某人氣直播平臺(tái)(pop up on a popular live-streaming platform),據(jù)統(tǒng)計(jì),時(shí)長(zhǎng)1小時(shí)的直播吸引了1000多萬(wàn)名觀眾(the 60-minute live stream attracted more than 10 million viewers),傅園慧共收到價(jià)值31.8萬(wàn)元的虛擬禮物(virtual gifts)。傅園慧對(duì)"收到虛擬禮物"一事一直表現(xiàn)得很反感(apparently not happy),她在直播中(during the live stream)多次請(qǐng)求觀眾不要再花錢給她送虛擬禮物(beg the audience dozens of times to stop giving away their money for virtual gifts),這讓她充滿了罪惡感(make her feel guilty)。
她還多次向觀眾保證,自己不會(huì)被商業(yè)化(assure the audience several times that she wouldn't be "commercialized"),這個(gè)直播是幾個(gè)月之前約定的(the live-stream deal was struck several months ago),不是意外變成網(wǎng)紅之后才簽約的(not after her accidental fame as an Internet celebrity)。對(duì)直播的觀眾來說,傅園慧是一股小清新風(fēng)(Fu is a relative breath of fresh air),與直播行業(yè)中充斥的千篇一律的女網(wǎng)紅有所不同(a change from the cookie-cutter female Internet celebrities that dominate the business)。

game face
請(qǐng)看例句:
Michael Phelps' game face spawned the best meme of the Rio Olympics. His death stare at South African rival Chad le Clos before the men's 200m butterfly semifinals became an instant Internet sensation.
邁克爾·菲爾普斯的"比賽臉"成了里約奧運(yùn)會(huì)的最佳熱點(diǎn)。他在男子200米蝶泳半決賽前對(duì)來自南非的對(duì)手勒克洛斯使出的"死亡瞪"成為網(wǎng)絡(luò)即時(shí)熱門話題。
Game face指the face you put on when you are about to get ready to tackle something difficult, or when you are about to take on a challenge,即準(zhǔn)備好應(yīng)對(duì)某件棘手的事情或迎接挑戰(zhàn)時(shí)做出的表情。在里約奧運(yùn)會(huì)上,美國(guó)游泳名將菲爾普斯完美地詮釋了這一表情(give a perfect definition of what a game face is)。
當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間8日,菲爾普斯在里約奧運(yùn)男子200米蝶泳半決賽中與勁敵(bitter rival)南非選手勒克洛斯再次相遇。勒克洛斯曾在2012年倫敦奧運(yùn)會(huì)200米蝶泳決賽中擊敗'菲魚'奪冠(Chad le Clos piped him to gold in the 200m butterfly final at London 2012),那是菲爾普斯自2001年以來第一次丟掉該項(xiàng)目的金牌(Phelps failed to win the event for the first time since 2001)。
半決賽前,菲爾普斯戴著耳機(jī)坐在一旁等比賽開始,而勒克洛斯則在他面前又是跳舞、又是打拳地做著熱身運(yùn)動(dòng)(Le Clos warmed up with a little dancing and shadowboxing directly in front of Phelps)。這使得菲爾普斯面露兇光(it inspired Phelps to give his full axe murderer look),死死盯著他的對(duì)手(give a death stare to his opponent),空氣里似乎充滿了復(fù)仇的味道。該場(chǎng)景被相機(jī)捕捉到后在網(wǎng)上引發(fā)熱議,網(wǎng)友稱菲爾普斯簡(jiǎn)直就是《星球大戰(zhàn)》(Star Wars)中的黑武士(Darth Vader)的翻版。甚至有網(wǎng)友PS了一道死亡之光,直接射到了勒克洛斯的頭上。#菲爾普斯臉迅速成為社交網(wǎng)站上的熱門話題(#PhelpsFace quickly became a trending topic on social networks),人們紛紛猜測(cè)當(dāng)時(shí)菲爾普斯心里在想啥(imagine what was running through his head)。對(duì)此,菲爾普斯在賽后接受美國(guó)國(guó)家廣播公司采訪時(shí)表示:"我甚至沒想真正看他一眼(I was trying to not really even look at him)。他做他的事情,我做我的事情。"
