日本公佈2020年東京奧運會新會徽

Japan's Olympic organisers have unveiledthe new official logos of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games.

日本奧組委公佈了2020年東京奧運會暨殘奧會的新版正式會徽.

The logo, called Harmonized ChequeredEmblem, replaces the first choice which was thrown out last year after thedesigner was accused of plagiarism.

這個被稱爲“和式格紋”(日文名稱“組市松紋”)的會徽取代了第一次的中選方案, 該方案去年因設計師被控剽竊而遭捨棄.

The designer denied stealing the idea.

設計師否認竊取創意.

Organisers said the new design usedtraditional Japanese colours and patterns to represent the intercultural themesof the Games.

組委會說, 新設計方案使用了日本的傳統色彩和圖案, 以體現奧運會的跨文化主題.

It incorporates the message of 'unity indiversity', they said, and the idea that the Games "seek to promotediversity as a platform to connect the world".

“它含有‘多元統一’的寓意,”組委會說, 體現了奧運會“尋求促進多元化作爲連接世界的平臺”的思想.

When designer Asao Tokolo found out he hadwon the re-opened contest he said "my mind has gone blank". "Iput a lot of time and effort into this design as though it was my own child.

當設計師野老朝雄發現自己在重新進行的競標中獲勝時, 他說: “我的大腦一片空白”. “我在這個設計中投入了很多時間和精力, 就像它是我自己的孩子一樣.

The first design was rejected after Belgianartist Olivier Debie alleged it copied his design for a theatre logo.

第一次設計方案被廢棄, 因爲比利時藝術家奧利維爾.德比稱該方案抄襲他爲劇院標誌做的設計.

The Games organising committee never agreedto the allegation of plagiarism but said there were too many doubts over theemblem for it to be used.

日本奧運組委會從未同意抄襲指控, 但表示外界對用它做會徽疑慮太多.

The logo dispute came shortly after Tokyodecided to scrap the designs for the main Olympic stadium because of spirallingconstruction costs.

會徽糾紛發生在東京因爲建築費用螺旋上升而廢棄奧運會主體育場設計之後不久.

A cheaper design, by Japanese architectKengo Kuma, was chosen in December last year.

日本設計師隈研吾較便宜的設計方案去年12月中選.
