【商業快訊學英文】

昨晚是第一次舉辦線上讀書會
帶大家一起讀了商業英文書籍和時事報導

今天的華爾街日報，繼續來看世界要聞

🥊 Japan, IOC Agree to Postpone 2020 Tokyo Olympics by About One Year
Prime minister says it would be difficult to hold the Olympics this year
日本與國際奧會同意東奧延期約一年
首相表示今年舉辦有困難

IOC International Olympic Committee 國際奧會
postpone 延期，post- 是「後」的意思，很實用的單字
hold 舉辦，不是 hold 住姐的 hold

🥊The Tokyo 2020 Olympics were postponed until 2021 on Tuesday as the coronavirus pandemic spreads world-wide, an unprecedented shifting of the world’s largest sporting event that casts a universe of athletes, broadcasters, sponsors and sports organizations into a period of protracted uncertainty.
因為前所未見的疫情影響，日本週二宣佈 2020 東奧延至 2021。世界最大運動賽事變動，影響遍及全球運動員

postpone 延期，前面剛學過
spread （疫情、疾病）擴散
unprecedented 空前的
a universe of athletes 一個宇宙的運動員，意思是非常大量運動員
protracted 延長持續的
uncertainty 不確定性

🥊 Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and IOC President Thomas Bach agreed in a phone call Tuesday to delay the Games, previously scheduled to start July 24, for around one year. No new date was set, and the postponement throws into question how athletes will qualify for the rescheduled event and what the newly rebuilt Summer Games might look like.
日相安倍晉三和國際奧會主席 Thomas Bach 通話同意延期
原本 7/24 開始的賽事，預計延後一年
新日期未定，運動員資格審定是否變動，尚不明朗

previously 先前地
postponement 延後（postpone 的名詞）
throw into question 陷入疑問
qualify (for) 合格
rescheduled 重新安排時間的 re + schedule + ed

有人說這本來是安倍的畢業典禮，現在變得相當不確定
