【#東京殘奧會】2020東京殘疾人奧運會(Tokyo 2020 Summer Paralympic Games)將於明天(24/8)舉行,屆時請記得支持香港運動員!
在中國、香港、澳門、馬來西亞和新加坡,都將Paralympics譯為「殘疾人奧林匹克運動會」,簡稱「殘奧」;惟獨台灣,按發音譯成「帕拉林匹克運動會」,簡稱「帕運」或「帕奧」。事實上,Paralympics作為殘疾運動員參與的運動會,直接叫作「殘奧」,意思上並非錯誤,但不少人認為「殘奧」一字除了聽起來不舒服,而且是放大了「殘疾」,忽略了運動會背後「平等」的意味 。那麼,是否不應該叫作「殘奧」呢?
先來看看Paralympics的起源:1944年時,神經科醫生Ludwig Guttmann應英國政府的要求,開設復健中心,利用運動協助在戰時受傷的傷殘人士康復及重拾自信。到1948年,Guttmann舉辦了第一屆名為「Stoke Mandeville Games」的輪椅運動員比賽,後來這項比賽逐漸成為國際性賽事,第一屆Paralympics於1960年在羅馬舉行,自此與奧運一樣,每四年舉辦一次。
本來「Paralympics」一字,只是將「Paraplegic (半身不遂)」和「Olympics」兩字合拼,不過由於近代已有半身不遂者以外的運動員參加賽事,官方亦以希臘文重新演繹「Paralympics」的意思:「Para」是希臘文介詞,有「在……旁邊」的意思,意即與「Olympics」平行,兩項賽事並沒有高低之分。故有人認為「殘奧」這個翻譯,與現時官方「Paralympics」的意思不盡相同。
你認為「殘奧」應該改名嗎?

送給奧運獎牌得主的花束背後之深意
(Merrit Kennedy, NPR News)
東京 — 如果你有在觀賞奧運轉播, 可能會注意到 每個獎牌得主手上都會拿著ㄧ把由藍緞帶綁著的黃,綠,和深藍色三種不同花的花束。
看似普通,但構成花束的元素中 背後深藏著了ㄧ個經過多年發展至今的故事。
其中的含意象徵著日本從2011發生的毀滅型大地震和海嘯下, 重新站起。當時災情嚴重,有兩萬多人死亡或是失蹤,住家被海水沖毀,受災居民被迫撤離家園。除了有ㄧ百人左右的死傷是發生在其他地區之外,剩餘死傷都發生在日本受害最深的三個縣。
1)來自福島的洋桔梗:
花束所使用的花中,綠色帶褶的洋桔梗產於福島。在奪去上千人性命的海嘯之後,整個地區受到核能災害,多數居民被迫撤離。
很難想像會在這樣的地區種花。日本主辦單位表示洋桔梗是由ㄧ個非營利組織開始在當地試著推廣培育,藉此希望能重啟當地經濟,幫助地方復興。
對當地的從事農業生產人員來說,轉種花卉是ㄧ個實際的選擇。根據 Kyodo News 的報導, 在核災後,初期檢驗發現,當地所產的蔬菜輻射線含量過高 不適食用。但相對來說,花卉的合格標準要求就沒有那麽高。
“我希望有機會能藉由花卉,向世界展現福島己經重建復興了”,在核災禁區解封後於當地種植花卉的Yukari Shimizu,向Kyodo News的記者表示。
2)來自宮城的向日葵:
在海嘯發生時,巨大的海浪被推上宮城縣的海岸 造成超過ㄧ萬多人以上死亡或是失蹤。奧運主辦單位表示,為了追念死去的孩童,在災後其父母們回到宮城的ㄧ處山丘種下向日葵。
“因此之後每年那山丘都會遍佈著向日葵”,主辦單位表示,“宮城的向日葵象徵著受災者的過往記憶。”
宮城當地的名產是玫瑰,而向日葵則是ㄧ個新的特產。花卉培育者需要發展特別的專業技術與科技來生產出剛好適合小型花束大小的向日葵。
3)來自岩手的龍膽花:
宮城以北是岩手,當地的海岸線也受到巨大海浪的摧殘。岩手縣生產的的淡藍龍膽花佔日本的最大宗。與宮城和福島兩個嘗試培育新品種花卉的縣不同的地方是,自1960年來,龍膽花的培育在岩手已有數十年的歷史。
另外,花束上還有個奧運吉祥物Miraitowa的小娃娃。這個帶著藍白方格頭帶的卡通動物的名字是由日文 的未來(mirai) 和 永遠(towa) 組合而成,象徵著日本對其過去與未來的禮讚與期許。

*【Boulder積極促成槍枝管制未果,槍擊事件加深當地的痛苦】
2018年佛羅里達州帕克蘭市一所高中遭到大規模槍擊事件,引起全國各地的城市開始研究是否通過槍枝管制措施,科羅拉多州的博爾德市也是其中之一,但卻遭到反對擁槍派的反對,稱只有科羅拉多州政府才能規範槍枝,本月早些時候,州法官對此表示同意。不到兩週,凶手持攻擊型武器在超市射擊,害死10人。雖然槍手也可以在另一個城鎮購買武器,但在一個試圖阻止最恐怖的槍支暴力而未能成功的城市,人們對事件的發生尤其感到沮喪。

由於國會不太可能迅速推出槍支管制相關立法,白宮正在緊鑼密鼓地推進一系列行政命令,以緩解各方對該問題的壓力。白宮新聞發言人薩琪表示,要想做出永久性改變,立法是必要的。但她也表示,正在考慮的行政命令可能是一個現實的起點。

#比利時將在周五收緊限制措施,因為它面臨著越來越多的住院治療和新病例。美髮店和美容院將關閉至4月25日,其他非必需業務將僅允許經預約向公眾開放。
#在印度,理由是上升的情況下,數字和國內需求增加,政府官員已經決定停止出口阿斯特捷利康疫苗。
#加拿大研究人員組成的團隊,匯聚了該國一些最大的企業,以擴大快速的冠狀病毒測試計劃,他們試圖複製美國的成功經驗,目的是振興經濟並讓成千上萬的美國人重返工作崗位。
#法國文化大臣Roslyne Bachelot已因Covid-19住院,該國正面臨新一輪冠狀病毒感染浪潮,有可能使醫院不堪重負。
#拜登政府正在採取不同尋常的步驟,對過去川普政府干預科學的行為進行公開說明,列出一份可能因政治需要,而扭曲的監管清單。此舉可緩和過去四年來,在法規方面所做的親商業的變化,同時提振四年來被漠視而飽受打擊的聯邦科學家和研究人員的士氣。

George Karl called being on the court his sanctuary. Carmelo Anthony answered his coach's prayer.
Anthony scored 40 points, including the winning basket, and Denver overcame LeBron James' monstrous night to end the Cavaliers' 13-game winning streak with a 118-116 victory in overtime Thursday night in Karl's first game since revealing he has neck and throat cancer.
"I think he's happy," Anthony said of his coach. "This boosted his spirit up a lot. In the back of our mind, we know his situation. We're playing for him."
James had his triple-double by the end of regulation, and became the first NBA player with at least 43 points, 13 rebounds, 15 assists, two steals and four blocks, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
James' triple-double came in front of Oscar Robertson, who averaged a triple-double during the 1961-62 season. He was honored before the game along with Jerry West, James and Anthony as co-captains of U.S. Olympic gold medal basketball teams.
Robertson and West captained the Americans' gold medal in 1960, while James and Anthony were the co-captains in 2008.
James is also the first player to have at least 40 points, 15 assists and 13 rebounds in a game since Robertson had 42 points, 18 assists and 15 rebounds on Feb. 13, 1962.
"In that sense, it's huge because of what he was able to do," James said. "But in the sense of us losing the ball game, it means nothing."
Anthony matched him shot for shot, hitting the winner on a deep jumper over an outstretched James with 1.9 seconds left.
"It's finally me being on the other end I guess," James said. "I'm so used to being on the other end making shots and looking at guys. It's a great player and a great shot. If I got any closer, I was going to foul him. Big shot."
Anthony jogged to the other end of the floor after hitting the shot, nodding his head and shouting to no one in particular as the Cavaliers called timeout.
"A lot of people got some good pictures out of that moment," Anthony said. "I wanted the ball. I made the shot."
Cleveland had a chance to win it at the buzzer, but James slipped while receiving the inbound pass and his 3-pointer rattled off the rim.
James, who played 47 minutes, missed his final four shots. Anthony, who played 48 minutes, made 7 of his last 8. Anthony and the Nuggets have now won 10 of 14 games against James and the Cavaliers since the two superstars entered the league.
"It was a great game to watch, but I'm not sure it will go on my coaching resume as very polished," Karl said. "We probably should have won the game a little easier. We kept giving them chances and they kept taking advantage of them."
Karl will likely miss some games and practices while undergoing a rigorous six-week treatment program of radiation and chemotherapy, but he accompanied the Nuggets on their two-game trip after deciding against taking time off now.
"I think I need the gym and I need the juice of being happy about kicking someone's butt and preparing and watching video," Karl said. "I felt very early it made no sense for me to separate from the team. ... It's going to be my sanctuary to do what I like to do and forget maybe the things that are always going to pop into your mind."

Brandon Jennings was shut out in the first quarter. Then he went to work and wiped out a record held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Jennings scored 55 points, breaking Abdul-Jabbar's franchise rookie record, to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a come-from-behind 129-125 victory Saturday over the Golden State Warriors.
Jennings poured in 29 points in the third quarter, then 16 in the fourth to hold off the Warriors and become only the third Bucks player to score more than 50. The last to do it was Michael Redd, who set the franchise record with 57 points against Utah on Nov. 11, 2006.
"It was a very, very impressive performance for anyone, let alone a rookie in his seventh game," Milwaukee coach Scott Skiles said. "We just gave the ball to Brandon and let him go to work."
The No. 10 pick in the draft topped the 51 points scored by Abdul-Jabbar, then Lew Alcindor, on Feb. 21, 1970. The NBA rookie record was set by Wilt Chamberlain with 58 points for Philadelphia against Detroit in a January 1960 game in Bethlehem, Pa.
It was also the most points scored by a rookie since Earl Monroe had 56 on Feb. 13, 1968, and the second-most by a player under the age of 21, only topped by the 56 points scored by LeBron James on March 20, 2005.
"I was scoreless after the first quarter and really struggling," said Jennings, who hit 21 of 34 shots after hitting just one of his first seven shots. "I just started getting in the groove and felt really good in the third quarter."
The 29 points by Jennings were the most ever scored in a quarter against the Warriors. During the period, Jennings hit four 3-pointers and an assortment of jumpers and driving layups as he took over the game. At several points after scoring, he waved his arms in the air to get the crowd to cheer louder.
In all, he hit 12 of 13 shots in the quarter, his only miss a 3-point attempt with 5.9 seconds remaining. Jennings said after he hit his second shot in the third quarter, he could tell he was "in a zone."
"I was just trying to do whatever I could to help us win," he said. "We were out of sync in the first half and really needed to step it up."
Skiles said he told Jennings after the game, "Great game, get some rest tomorrow and [say] hello Jason Kidd on Monday." The Bucks play the Dallas Mavericks on Monday.
Bucks center Andrew Bogut said he was in position several times in the third quarter for offensive rebounds, but wasn't needed.
"I was just waiting for it to come off the rim, but it just kept going straight through, which makes it easier for me," he said. "But it could have padded the stats a little bit if he missed one or two of them."
Warriors coach Don Nelson called Jennings' effort "probably the best rookie performance I've ever witnessed in 30-some years coaching."
"We tried to handle him every way possible," Nelson said.
Warriors reserve Corey Maggette said Jennings had a "special game," one he had not seen in a long time.
"That was a great performance," Maggette said, shaking his head. "I don't know if anyone has done that since Magic [Johnson]. He was something pretty special tonight."
The Bucks won their fourth straight game for the first time in more than two years. The Bucks (5-2) are off to their best start since 2005, the last season the team made the playoffs.
Bogut added 19 points and 11 rebounds for the Bucks.
Monta Ellis led the Warriors (3-6) with 26 points and Maggette added 25.
Jennings hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 2:15 to give the Bucks a 117-115 lead. Luke Ridnour then hit a driving layup with 1:40 remaining to increase the Bucks' lead to 119-115. After an offensive foul on Maggette, Jennings hit another jumper.
Maggette made a layup, was fouled and hit the free throw to cut the lead to 121-118, but Jennings came back and hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 34 seconds remaining and the Bucks held on to win.
The Warriors lost starting guard Kelenna Azubuike in the first quarter. Azubuike drove across the lane with 9:12 remaining in the quarter and slipped on the floor. He immediately grabbed his left leg and screamed in pain. After a five-minute delay, Azubuike left the court on a stretcher cart and went to the Warriors' locker room.
Game notes
Redd, sidelined with strained left patella tendon for the last four games, will try to return next week as the Bucks play Dallas on Monday and New Jersey on Wednesday. Bucks forward Kurt Thomas played in the 900th game of his career.
