1.When it comes to Nordic combined, Tara Geraghty-Moats is considered one of the top female competitors in the world.

說到北歐兩項(xiàng)這個(gè)運(yùn)動(dòng)項(xiàng)目，塔拉·格拉蒂-莫阿茨被認(rèn)為是世界上頂尖的女性選手之一。

2.Nordic combined competitions involve ski jumping — during which athletes are scored on style and distance. 

北歐兩項(xiàng)比賽包括了跳臺(tái)滑雪——在此期間運(yùn)動(dòng)員根據(jù)風(fēng)格和距離得分。

3.Later, the athletes then compete in a cross-country skiing race.

隨后，運(yùn)動(dòng)員還會(huì)參與到越野滑雪比賽中。

4."It combines two different sports I love," Geraghty-Moats told us.

“它結(jié)合了我最愛的兩種不同的運(yùn)動(dòng)”，格拉蒂-莫阿茨告訴我們。

5."Ski jumping is really thrilling and it takes a lot of mental focus and attention to technical detail. Cross country skiing is really satisfying when you are skiing fast."

“跳臺(tái)滑雪真的很刺激，它需要高度的精神專注和對(duì)技術(shù)細(xì)節(jié)的關(guān)注。而當(dāng)你快速滑雪時(shí)，越野滑雪真的很讓人開心?！?/p>

6.It's a sport men and women compete in around the world. 

這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)全世界的男女運(yùn)動(dòng)員都在參加。

7.But — like every Winter Olympics since Nordic combined became a fixture in 1924 — you won't see any women fighting for gold. 

但是——就像自1924年北歐兩項(xiàng)成為固定項(xiàng)目以來的每一屆冬奧會(huì)一樣——你不會(huì)看到任何女性為金牌而戰(zhàn)。

8.It remains the only Winter Olympic sport closed off to women.

這是如今的冬奧會(huì)上唯一不允許女性參加的項(xiàng)目。

9."I do really respect the work the [International Ski Federation] and the [International Olympic Committee] have done, to some extent of expanding women's sports. But we need to be honest about the discrimination that is still happening," Geraghty-Moats said.

我確實(shí)非常尊重(國際滑雪聯(lián)合會(huì))和(國際奧委會(huì))所做的工作，在某種程度上擴(kuò)大了女子運(yùn)動(dòng)。但我們需要誠實(shí)面對(duì)仍然存在的歧視，”格拉蒂-莫阿茨說。

10.Plans to add female competitors to Nordic combined in 2022 were scrapped by the IOC back in 2018.

早在2018年，國際奧委會(huì)就取消了在2022年北歐組合中增加女性競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手的計(jì)劃。

11.The committee told us that the 2022 Winter Games program was finalized three years ago and that "it reflects our commitment to make the Olympic Games programmes more gender-balanced." 

奧委會(huì)告訴我們，2022年冬季奧運(yùn)會(huì)項(xiàng)目已于三年前敲定，“這反映了我們致力于使奧運(yùn)會(huì)項(xiàng)目更加性別平衡?！?/p>

12.The criteria to add the women's class of Nordic combined, which must meet standards for including a new sport to the Winter Games, wasn't met.

增加北歐兩項(xiàng)女子比賽的條件沒有達(dá)到，該條件必須符合將一項(xiàng)新運(yùn)動(dòng)納入冬季奧運(yùn)會(huì)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。

13.But Nordic combined isn't a new sport, Geraghty-Moats noted. 

但北歐兩項(xiàng)也不是新運(yùn)動(dòng)了，格拉蒂·莫阿茨提醒說。

14.Men have been competing in it for nearly 100 years.

男性參加這項(xiàng)比賽都已經(jīng)快一百年了。

15."It's about simply adding a women's class of Nordic combined," said Geraghty-Moats. 

“只不過是把北歐兩項(xiàng)加上女子罷了，”格拉蒂·莫阿茨說道。

16."It would be so easy."

“這其實(shí)很簡(jiǎn)單。”

一.Women's ski jumping faced similar hurdles女子的滑雪跳臺(tái)也面臨過類似的阻礙

17.Years ago, there was a similar battle over getting women's ski jumping added as an Olympic event. 

幾年前，在將女子跳臺(tái)滑雪列為奧運(yùn)會(huì)項(xiàng)目的問題上，也曾有過類似的爭(zhēng)論。

18.It only made its debut at the highest level in 2014 in Sochi. 

該項(xiàng)目的女子比賽在2014年索契冬奧會(huì)上才初次確定。

19.Men had been competing in ski jumping for nearly a century prior to that.

而之前男子參加跳臺(tái)滑雪也將近一個(gè)世紀(jì)了。

20.During the fight to get that event opened to women, detractors claimed women's bodies weren't built for the sport, U.S. Nordic and Ski Jumping Sport Director Jed Hinkley told us.

美國北歐和跳臺(tái)滑雪運(yùn)動(dòng)主管杰德·欣克利告訴我們，在爭(zhēng)取讓這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)向女性開放的過程中，批評(píng)者聲稱女性的身體不是為這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)而打造的。

21."The science has disproved that," he said.

"科學(xué)已經(jīng)推翻了這種說法，"他說。

22.That same discriminatory belief is at play when it comes to Nordic combined, according Geraghty-Moats.

格拉蒂·莫阿茨看來，同樣的歧視看法在北歐兩項(xiàng)上又重演了。

23."I think there are men on the [IOC] voting committee who think women shouldn't do the sport," she said. 

她說:“我認(rèn)為(國際奧委會(huì))投票委員會(huì)中有一些男性認(rèn)為女性不應(yīng)該從事這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)。”

24."It's made up of mostly men, mostly over the age of 60 who couldn't comprehend of women competing in Nordic combined."

“投票團(tuán)主要由男性組成，大多在60歲以上，他們無法理解女性參加北歐兩項(xiàng)?！?/p>
