倫敦馬拉松賽如期舉行：黑絲帶悼念波士頓爆炸案遇難者

The London Marathon is under way, with runners wearing black ribbons to remember the Boston bombings' victims.
倫敦馬拉松賽正在進行中，所有參賽選手都會佩戴黑色絲帶以悼念在波士頓馬拉松賽中的遇難者。

Amid an increased police presence, thousands lined the streets to see the elite women set off from Blackheath.
上千名觀衆雲集在英國倫敦的郊區布萊克希思觀看倫敦馬拉松大賽女子組比賽，比賽現場也增加了警力。

A 30-second silence will be held at 09:57 BST, before the start of the mass race, for those killed and injured in two blasts in Monday's Boston race.
在比賽開始前，當地時間9點57分，大賽會爲哀悼週一的波士頓馬拉松爆炸案中的死難者默哀30秒。

Hundreds of extra police officers - 40% more than last year - have been drafted in to reassure runners and spectators.
爲了保障參賽選手和觀衆的安全，今年的倫敦馬拉松賽比去年增派了約40%的警力，上百名警察加入到安保工作中來。

About half a million people will line the streets of the route, which starts at Blackheath in south-east London and finishes near Buckingham Palace, passing some of the city's most recognisable landmarks, including Tower Bridge and Big Ben.
預計從倫敦東南部的布萊克希思出發到白金漢宮附近的終點，會有50多萬民衆會觀看這場馬拉松比賽。沿途還會經過倫敦塔橋、大本鐘等標誌性景點。

Ch Supt Julia Pendry, who has headed marathon security for five years, has said this year's police operation is "about making sure that people who come to London on Sunday feel safe when they are in the city".
負責本次倫敦馬拉松賽安保工作的Ch Supt Julia Pendry表示“今年的警力配備將會使週日來到倫敦的人感到安全”，此前她就負責該賽事的安保工作長達五年。

She said more search dogs would be deployed and urged marathon spectators to keep their belongings with them to avoid sparking security alerts. But she added: "There is no link between the Boston Marathon and the London Marathon and there is no change to the threat level at this time to London."
她表示，會動用更多的警犬，並要求觀看馬拉松比賽的觀衆們看好自己的隨身物品，以防觸動安全警報。同時，她也認爲，“並無證據表示波士頓馬拉松賽和倫敦馬拉松賽有何關聯。而且，倫敦的安全級別也沒有做出改變。”

Virgin London Marathon has pledged to donate £2 for every runner that finishes Sunday's event to The One Fund Boston set up to raise money for victims of the explosions. The race organisers expect the total donation to be at least £70,000.
倫敦馬拉松主辦方也決定，每一名衝過終點的參賽者，都將爲波士頓基金捐出2英鎊。他們預計，至少將有35500人衝過終點，這樣至少會爲波士頓受害者募集到7萬英鎊的善款。
