美国有线新闻 CNN 北京成史上首个举办夏季和冬季奥运会的城市（在线收听）

To date, how many cities have hosted both the summer and winter Olympic games? Five, three, one, or none. No single city has hosted both seasonal Olympics before but Beijing, China is set to become the first next year.

到目前为止，有多少城市既举办过夏季奥运会又冬季奥运会？五个，三个，一个还是没有？以前没有一个城市既举办过夏季奥运会又举办过冬季奥运会，但明年中国北京将成为首个做到这点的城市。

The Chinese capital hosted the Olympic summer games in 2008. It's set to host the 2022 Winter Olympics next February 4th. Looking ahead, the events will return to Paris, France in 2024. Milano Cortina, Italy in 2026, Los Angeles, California in 2028. And the International Olympics Committee just announced yesterday that Brisbane, Australia is the preferred host for the 2032 Summer Olympics. This is a new process for Olympic organizers. They haven't announced the venue for the 2030 Winter games yet and Brisbane bid to host the 2032 games isn't a done deal. The IOC still has to vote on this to make it final.

中国首都在2008年主办了夏季奥运会。该市将于明年2月4日举办2022年冬奥会。展望未来，奥运会将于2024年再次在法国巴黎举行。2026年冬奥会的举办地是意大利米兰/科尔蒂纳丹佩佐，而2028年夏奥会的举办城市是加州洛杉矶。国际奥委会昨天刚刚宣布，澳大利亚布里斯班是2032年夏季奥运会的首选主办城市。这对奥运会组织者而言是是一个新的进程。他们还没有宣布2030年冬奥会的举办地，而且布里斯班申办2032年冬奥会的计划也尚未确定。国际奥委会仍需投票确定最终结果。

But because hosting the Olympics takes years to plan for and because of the uncertainty that still surrounds the 2020 games which were delayed by the coronavirus pandemic, the committees trying to devise a stable and predictable way to determine future host cities.

但是，由于举办奥运会需要数年时间进行规划，而且因冠状病毒疫情而推迟的2020年奥运会仍存在不确定性，组委会试图设计一种稳定且可预测的方式来确定未来的主办城市。
