日本取消涉嫌抄襲的奧運會會徽

Tokyo endured fresh embarrassment over its preparations for the 2020 Olympic Games yesterday when the organising committee said it would scrap the logos it unveiled only a few weeks ago.

日本昨日遭遇籌備2020年奧運會過程中的最新尷尬事件，日本奧組委表示將取消幾周前才公佈的會徽。

Since the twin emblems for the Olympics and Paralympics were revealed on July 24, their creator, Kenjiro Sano, has been besieged with allegations that he copied the design from a theatre in the Belgian city of Liege.

自7月24日公佈2020年夏季奧運會和殘奧會會徽以來，設計者佐野研二郎(Kenjiro Sano)一直面臨指控，稱其抄襲了比利時列日市一劇場的設計。

In the face of Mr Sano’s repeated denials of plagiarism, Olivier Debie, the Belgian designer, filed a lawsuit against the International Olympic Committee demanding the emblem not be used.

面對佐野研二郎多次否認剽竊，比利時設計師奧利維爾德比(Olivier Debie)起訴國際奧委會(International Olympic Committee)，要求其不要使用該標識。

The decision to scrap the logos, announced after an emergency meeting of the Tokyo Olympic organising committee, comes as Japan is struggling to select a new, cheaper design for the national stadium after those plans were also ordered back to the drawing board by Shinzo Abe, the prime minister.

東京奧組委在召開緊急會議後宣佈了取消會徽的決定，此際，日本正努力爲其國家奧林匹克體育場遴選新的、成本更低的設計，此前，日本首相安倍晉三(Shinzo Abe)勒令中止了建造計劃。
