直擊里約奧運：領獎臺之外的趣聞軼事

The mysterious squiggly trophies
神秘的曲型獎品

At previous Olympics, athletes who made the podium were handed a bouquet of flowers. But for this year's games they have been scrapped, apparently because they are "not very sustainable". It seems most were just tossed in the dustbin.
在往屆的奧運會上，登上領獎臺的運動員都會得到一束鮮花。但本屆的奧運會東道主卻沒有向運動員獻上鮮花，顯然是因為鮮花“可持續(xù)性太低”。以往它們都難逃被丟入垃圾桶中的宿命。

Now, along with their medal, competitors are handed a multi-coloured object with a green base. At first this baffled spectators, and some competitors, such as Chinese swimmer Fu Yuanhui.
現在，當運動員接過獎牌，他們會收到一個五顏六色、基座為綠色的物體。觀眾起初表示丈二和尚摸不著頭腦，甚至一些運動員對此也深感不解，例如中國隊的游泳選手傅園慧。

“傅園慧此刻腦子里想的跟我們一樣”

There was much speculation on social media. Was it a paperweight? A napkin holder?
網友紛紛在社交媒體上發(fā)表猜想。這是寫字畫畫用以壓紙的鎮(zhèn)紙嗎？還是餐巾架？

In fact, it's a 3D model of the official Rio Olympics logo, and it reportedly doubles as a medal holder. Although it looks more than capable of weighing down a sheaf of A4 paper as well if necessary.
事實上，這是里約奧運會官方會徽的3D模型，據稱還可以充當獎牌架。雖然這看上去貌似只能在必要時托住一捆A4紙。
