北京击败哈萨克斯坦的阿拉木图，获得2022年冬奥会举办权，成为奥运历史上第一个既举办过夏季奥运会，又举办冬奥会的城市。

Following a closed-door vote by International Olympic Committee (IOC) members, President Thomas Bach announced that Beijing is the winner of 2022 Winter Olympics during the 128th IOC Session in Kuala Lumpur on Friday afternoon. Beijing won 44 nods against Almaty's 40 in the voting.

新华社评称

七年前，北京以一届“无与伦比”的夏季奥运会，在百余年奥林匹克史上树起了一座丰碑。再过七年，冬奥会的圣火又将在这片东方沃土上点燃。北京，这座有着3000多年历史的古都，将成为全球首个举办过夏季、冬季奥运会的城市。这是中华民族的无上光荣，也是奥林匹克运动的正确选择。

再来看外媒的报道

路透社The choice of Beijing as host of the 2022 Winter Olympics over Kazakhstan's Almaty was a solid vote for the tried and tested, and the financial and organizational security of China.北京击败哈萨克斯坦的阿拉木图市成为2022年冬奥会举办城市，是对这座经过夏季奥运会考验的城市的一致肯定，也是对中国举办奥运会的财政和组织能力的肯定。美联社Beijing was seen by the IOC as a safe, reliable choice that also offered vast commercial opportunities in a new winter sports market of more than 300 million people in northern China.北京对奥委会来说是一个安全可靠的选择，中国北方有3亿多人口，对新的冬季运动市场来说，也是巨大的商机。《华盛顿邮报》The victory over long-shot Kazakhstan was a nod to China's rocket-fast rise as a global powerhouse, giving the most populous nation another shot at welcoming the most-watched sporting event in the world.中国击败没有胜算的哈萨克斯坦，证明了中国世界强国的地位迅速上升，让这个人口最多的国家再次赢得了世界上最受瞩目的体育赛事举办权。

看了这么多，北京办冬奥，对俺们祖国来说，那肯定是大事好事骄傲事，不过，咱老百姓又能期待些啥呢？

➤Permanent blue skies



永远有蓝天

Efforts to curb pollutions ahead of the 2008 Games dramatically improved the air quality in Beijing, at least for a while. Once again, expectations are high that staging the Winter Olympic Games will push Beijing to reduce pollution and improve the air quality more sincerely and effectively.

2008年奥运会前的控污措施大大改善了北京的空气质量，让我们至少拥有了短暂的蓝天。这一次，很多人期盼冬奥会的举办能再次推动北京减少污染，切实改善空气质量。

➤Better transportation

交通更便捷

Although Beijing is the host city of the 2022 Winter Games, Chongli county of Zhangjiakou in Hebei will host some of the snow events. A high-speed railway linking Beijing and Zhangjiakou is in the works, shortening the travel time from an average 4 hours to 50 minutes.

尽管北京是2022年冬奥会的主办城市，也会有部分赛事在河北张家口市的崇礼县举行。北京至张家口的高铁正在建设中，建成后交通时间将从4小时缩短为50分钟。

➤A boost for winter sports

奖牌创记录

China has shown its power in the Summer Olympics by topping the gold medal tally in Beijing. As the host, China will make an all-out effort to improve its performance in 2022 by securing the best resources, talents and prizes. And it would be interesting to see whether China can break into the top three on the medal standing.

2008年，作为东道主，中国雄踞奖牌榜榜首。2022年，中国将利用天时地利人和的优势，竭尽全力拿出最佳水平再创辉煌。中国能否挺进奖牌榜前三呢？我们拭目以待。

➤Another spectacular opening ceremony

精彩开幕式再上演

On Aug, 8, 2008, film director Zhang Yimou wowed the world with a breathtaking opening ceremony, making it one of the most mesmerizing moments of the 2008 Beijing Games. There is a good reason to expect a similar great show.

2008年8月8日，张艺谋导演为全世界呈现了一场无与伦比的开幕式，成为2008年北京奥运最令人难忘的一段历史。我们有充分的理由相信，2022年同样精彩的开幕式会再次上演。

7年后，让我们再次相约北京吧。双语君等你，2022再约！
