TOKYO (Reuters) - Tokyo 2020 President Yoshiro Mori said on Tuesday that Japan would hold the Summer Olympics regardless of the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic and was working closely with the International Olympic Committee to make them happen.

东京(路透社)-东京奥组委主席森喜朗星期二说,日本将举办夏季奥运会,不管新冠疫情的情况如何,并正在与国际奥委会密切合作,以实现这一目标。

“We will hold the Olympics, regardless of how the coronavirus (situation) looks,” Mori said, adding that the discussion should focus on how, not whether, the Olympics will happen.

“我们将举办奥运会,不管新冠(情况)如何,”森喜朗说,并补充说,讨论应集中在如何而不是是否奥运会将举行。

“We must consider new ways of hosting the Olympics” as a part of that, he said.
Mori added that while working together had its difficulties, Tokyo 2020 organisers and the IOC had a strong relationship.
Mori was speaking at the start of a meeting with Japan’s Sports Research Commission.

“我们必须考虑举办奥运会的新方式”,森喜朗补充说,虽然合作有困难,但东京2020组织者和国际奥委会的关系非常密切。森喜朗是在与日本体育研究委员会的会议开始时说这番话的。

The 2020 Games were postponed last year due to the global spread of the novel coronavirus.
A recent spike in infections in Japan that triggered a state of emergency in some areas has fuelled speculation about whether the rescheduled Games can be held this summer.

由于新型冠状病毒的全球传播,2020年奥运会于去年推迟。日本最近的感染高峰引发了一些地区的紧急状态,引发了人们对重新安排的奥运会能否在今年夏天举行的猜测。
