進入《中英對照讀新聞》Russian lawmaker pushes to restrict athletes to 2 Olympics 俄羅斯議員推動限制運動員只能參與兩次奧運
◎顧佳欣
The Russian parliament will consider barring athletes from competing in more than two Olympics in a bid to keep older, injury-prone athletes from denying places to younger competitors.
為了不讓較老、容易受傷的運動員阻斷年輕競爭者參加比賽的機會，俄羅斯國會將考慮禁止運動員參賽奧運超過兩次。
The bill submitted by lawmaker Yegor Anisimov aims to avoid a repeat of an incident at last year’s Sochi Winter Olympics when figure skater Evgeny Plushenko entered his fourth Olympics despite injury concerns before a back problem forced him to withdraw from the men’s competition at the last minute.
法案由議員耶格．安尼西莫夫提出，旨在避免重蹈去年索契冬季奧運事件之覆轍，當時花式溜冰選手葉甫根尼．普魯申科儘管有受傷疑慮，仍參加了個人的第四次奧運，後因背傷問題迫使其在最後一分鐘退出男子比賽。
While the bill’s level of support is unclear, nationalist leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky has backed a similar idea in the past.
儘管法案的支持程度尚不明朗，民族主義派領袖弗拉基米爾．季里諾夫斯基在過去已對類似想法背書。
If Anisimov’s proposal becomes law, it would block some Russian stars from competing at next year’s Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, including two-time Olympic pole vault champion Yelena Isinbayeva.
如果安尼西莫夫的提案成為法律，其將會封殺一些俄羅斯明星運動員參與明年在里約熱內盧的奧運，包括兩屆奧運撐竿跳冠軍耶蓮娜．伊辛巴耶娃。
