中國就出錯國旗事件交涉 里約奧組委致歉

The Rio Olympics organizing committee has apologized for the slightly inaccurate Chinese flag that has been used at several medal ceremonies and has pledged to correct the mistake, according to the Chinese Consulate-General in Rio on Aug. 8.

8月8日，據中國駐里約總領事館報道，里約奧組委爲在頒獎儀式上數次使用的中國國旗存在的細微錯誤道歉，並承諾將糾正錯誤。

Already, the botched flag has been a source of public disappointment among Chinese netizens and viewers.

不過，這種搞砸的國旗已經引起了中國網友和觀衆的不滿。

Netizens began to complain about the flags over the weekend, astutely pointing out that the flags flying at Olympic venues featured the four smaller stars of the Chinese flag laid out in a parallel pattern. Instead, the stars should be rotated so that each one points toward the center of the flag's one large star.

整個週末，網友們都在抱怨這件事，他們快速指出，奧運場館裏飄揚的中國國旗，四顆小星星是平行擺放的。而事實上，每個小星星都要旋轉一下，都有一個角指向正中的大星星。

Under instruction from the Chinese ambassador to Brazil, the Chinese Consul General in Rio, Song Yang, contacted the organizing committee of the Rio Olympic Games and demanded that the mistake be rectified immediately, the consulate said on its officialWeibo early on Aug. 8.

8月8日早間，中國駐里約總領事館微博上寫道，在接到中國駐巴西大使的指示後，里約中國總領事宋楊馬上聯繫了里約奧組委，要求對方立即糾正錯誤。

"The director said the organizing committee of the Rio Olympic Games expresses their apologies. The committee commissioned a third-party company (not a Chinese company)to produce all national flags. It will contact the company immediately to correct its mistake," the Weibo post noted.

博文中寫到：“總領事稱，奧組委表達了他們的歉意，他們是委託的第三方公司（非中國公司）製作的所有的國旗。他們將立即聯絡該公司糾正錯誤。”

All national flags used at the Rio Olympic Games received approval from the organizing committees of each respective country, the Rio Olympics organizing committee told People's Daily in an exclusive interview, adding that the committee will work together with the Chinese delegation to come up with a satisfactory solution.

在一次獨家專訪中，里約奧組委對人民網表示，在里約奧運會上所使用的國旗，都經過了各個國家奧組委的審覈，並補充道，奧組委將同中國代表團一道，給出一個滿意的解決方案。
