Volunteer groups crochet woolen bouquets for Games medalists

志愿者团队为冬奥获奖者编织“绒花”花束

02:15①Medal winners at the Beijing 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games are presented with woolen bouquets, crocheted over several months by dedicated groups of volunteers, that include retired workers and disabled and elderly people. 

2022年北京冬奥会和冬残奥会上，献给获奖选手的颁奖花束由绒线编结而成。这些历时数月精心编织的花束来自多个志愿者团队，其中不乏退休工人、残疾人士和老年人。

04:58②At previous Games, fresh flowers were used for the medal presentation ceremonies. However, the traditional Shanghai crocheted bouquets don't wilt and will be more permanent reminders of the Beijing Games. 

在之前的奥运会中，颁奖典礼所用花束通常由鲜切花制成。而此次所用的传统海派绒花不会凋谢，因此能够长期保存，成为这届北京冬奥会永久的见证。

07:13③The Shanghai bouquet came about in the mid-19th century when practitioners in Shanghai, a global entrepot, fused Chinese and Western techniques, according to Agence France-Presse. 

据法新社报道，在十九世纪中叶的国际贸易中心——上海，彼时的绒线编结手工艺人将中西技艺融会贯通，逐渐形成了海派绒花。

08:48④The woolen bouquets include representations of seven flowers and plants: the rugosa rose; Chinese rose; hydrangea; lily of the valley; laurels; sweet osmanthus; and olive branches. They represent friendship, perseverance, happiness, unity, victory, bounty and peace, said Lin Cunzhen who designed the emblems for the Beijing Winter Olympics. 

北京冬奥会会徽设计者林存真介绍，此次绒花花束包含七种花型：玫瑰、月季、绣球、铃兰、月桂、桂花和橄榄枝，分别代表了友爱、坚韧、团结、幸福、胜利、收获与和平。

11:27⑤Gao Tian, deputy director of the culture and ceremonies department of the Beijing Organising Committee of the 2022 Games, said medalists who have already received the woolen bouquets have been impressed with the design.   "I've seen many medalists take photos with the bouquets close to their faces or held high above their heads.   I think they must be happy to get this special souvenir," she said at the news conference. 

北京冬奥组委文化活动部副部长高天在新闻发布会上说到，获奖运动员在收到绒花花束后都对这样的设计感到新奇不已，“我看到很多获奖选手都把花束举到耳旁或者头顶来拍照。我想他们收到这样一份特殊的纪念品心里一定也很高兴。”
