Q
國際奧委會在這當中扮演什麼角色？
The IOC (International Olympic Committee), founded in 1894 in Paris by Pierre de Coubertin, now has over one hundred members representing the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) from all over the world.
國際奧委會（國際奧林匹克委員會）由皮埃爾·德·顧拜旦于 1894 年在巴黎成立，現在擁有超過一百名來自世界各地的國家奧林匹克委員會（國家奧委會）成員。
Lausanne was declared the Olympic Capital in December 1993. In addition to the IOC, the city is home to a number of International Federations.
洛桑于 1993 年 12 月被宣布為奧林匹克之都。除國際奧委會外，這座城市還是許多國際聯合會的所在地。
Today the IOC is led by a president, elected for an initial eight-year term, with the possibility of being re-elected for a further term of four years.
今天，國際奧委會由一位主席上司，當選後的最初任期為八年，之後可能會繼續連任四年。
One of the roles of the IOC is to ensure the celebration of the Olympic Games.
國際奧委會的職責之一是確定奧運會的順利舉辦。
The process of selecting the host city or country begins approximately nine years before the Games. The IOC recently took a number of decisions designed to make this process more flexible and foster a permanent, ongoing dialogue with the cities, regions and countries interested in submitting a candidature.
選擇主辦城市或國家的程序大約在奧運會開始前九年進行。國際奧委會最近做出了多項決定，旨在使這一程序更加靈活，并促進國際奧委會與有興趣送出候選的城市、地區和國家，進行永久、持續的對話。
The newly adopted principles also aim to provide greater flexibility with regard to the location of Games venues, and are fully in keeping with the key concepts of sustainability, legacy and cost reduction.
新通過的原則還旨在為奧運會場館的選址提供更大的靈活性，并完全符合可持續性、後續遺留問題和降低成本的關鍵概念。
Around seven years before the Games, the IOC elects the city that will host them.
大約在奧運會開始前七年，國際奧委會将确定選出主辦城市。
It is not the IOC that organises the Games, but an Olympic Games Organising Committee (OCOG) set up by the host city. The IOC supervises the organisation.
直接組織奧運會的不是國際奧委會，而是主辦城市設立的奧組委。國際奧委會負責監督該組織。
Apart from the Olympic Games, the IOC is involved in a variety of activities encouraging the practice of sport throughout the world, and promoting fair-play, non-violence and non-discrimination. The IOC is also involved in actions to promote peace.
除了奧運會，國際奧委會還參與了各種活動，鼓勵世界各地的體育運動，促進公平競賽、非暴力和非歧視。國際奧委會還參與了促進和平的行動。
The IOC has a special relationship with the city of Lausanne. This Swiss city has been home to the IOC headquarters since 1915. After occupying a series of different buildings, the administration and president’s office took up permanent residence in the Ch teau de Vidy in 1968. An adjoining building was added several years later. In light of the growing number of employees, the IOC decided to build a new Olympic House. Inaugurated in June 2019, the new IOC headquarters meets the most stringent international sustainable building standards.
國際奧委會與洛桑市有着特殊的關系。這座瑞士城市自 1915 年以來一直是國際奧委會總部的所在地。在使用過一系列不同的建築後，1968年，洛桑市政府将湖邊的維迪城堡交給國際奧委會使用，幾年後又增加了一座毗鄰的建築。鑒于員勞工數不斷增加，國際奧委會決定建造一座新的奧林匹克之家。新的國際奧委會總部于 2019 年 6 月落成，并符合最嚴格的國際可持續建築标準。
