冬奥会志愿者伸出援助之手｜Lending a helping hand

Volunteers play an integral part in the running of every Olympics, and the volunteer work at Beijing 2022 will leave an important legacy for years to come, according to the Games' organizing committee.

北京冬奥组委表示，志愿者是奥运会筹办团队中不可或缺的部分，2022年北京冬奥会的志愿工作将为未来提供宝贵的经验财富。

Teng Shengping, director-general of the volunteer department of the Beijing organizing committee, said that after the Games an extensive review will be carried out to learn from, transform and promote volunteer work in the areas of human resources and digital and intellectual heritage.

北京冬奥组委志愿者部部长滕盛萍介绍，北京冬奥会结束之后，奥组委将在人力资源、数字遗产和知识遗产等领域广泛开展学习研究，以进一步推动和改造志愿者的工作。

"After the Beijing Olympic andParalympicGames we will keep in touch with the volunteers to preserve talents for development. We will also review all the mechanisms, policies and projects formulated for the Gamesso they can contribute to the Olympic culture," Teng said.

“北京冬残奥会结束后，我们将与志愿者保持联系，发展保留人才。我们还将审查冬奥会的所有机制、政策和项目，以便让它们为奥运文化作出更多贡献。” 滕盛萍说。

There are more than 18,000volunteers at the Beijing Winter Games, including those working directly in the competitions, as well as venue management, language services and media services. Among them, 63 percent are working in the Beijing competition zone, 12 percent in Yanqing and 25 percent in Zhangjiakou. About 94 percent of all the volunteers are aged under 35.

北京冬奥会共录用了志愿者是18000多人，其中北京赛区占比约是63%，延庆赛区约12%，张家口赛区占比约25%，35岁以下的青年人占了94%。志愿者服务涵盖了体育竞赛、场馆管理、语言服务、新闻运行等业务领域。

"Before they serve the Games, all of them received extensive training, including those for both general and specific positions," Teng said.

滕盛萍表示：“所有志愿者在正式上岗服务前都接受了较为系统的培训，包括通用培训、场馆培训和岗位培训，专业志愿者还接受了专业培训。”

With the Games taking place during Spring Festival, a time annually when families traditionally reunite, a special "home for volunteers" was created inside the closedloopto provide a morefestive atmosphere for them.

由于北京冬奥会恰逢中国的春节，而这一传统节日意味着每年合家团圆的时期。因此，北京冬奥组委在闭环内设立了“志愿者之家”，为志愿者们创造更浓厚的节日氛围。

Teng said there were greater challenges in organizing the Winter Games volunteers compared to the Summer Games in 2008, because of the pandemic and a lack of knowledge and experience in serving winter sports.

滕盛萍表示，2022年北京冬奥会志愿者与2008年北京奥运会志愿者的工作相比起来，还是有很大的不同。他们需要面临新冠肺炎疫情、冰雪运动特殊性、三个赛区来回奔波等方面的挑战。

"We added more training for pandemic prevention beforehand and had more medical volunteers at all the venues," Teng said.

“我们事先为志愿者们增添了疫情防控培训，并在所有场馆配备了更多的医疗保障志愿者。” 滕盛萍表示。

"To cope with the working conditions in the mountain areas and low temperatures, we raised the requirements in recruiting volunteers, requiring them to be in better physical condition and to have more knowledge of winter sports."

“为应对山地低温环境，我们在招募志愿者时提高了标准，需要志愿者身体素质好，对冬季运动有更多的了解。”

Serving at the Games has been a special experience for the volunteers.

为冬奥会服务对于每一位志愿者来说都是一次独特的体验。

"We all love volunteering and we love the Olympic Games, so we became the volunteers here,"said Wei Yining, apostgraduatestudent from Beijing Forestry University.

北京林业大学园林学院研究生魏伊宁表示：“在主媒体中心工作的这一个月，被问最多的问题就是为什么来冬奥会当志愿者。我是因爱而来，现在我带着我们的爱来到北京冬奥会。”

"The whole world is fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic, but because of the Olympic Winter Games, we gathered together and united together. It's so valuable for us to be together and inspire each other.

“这两年全世界都在和疫情作斗争，冬奥会让我真正体会到相聚不易。但也正是因为冬奥，我们团结互助、相互激励，这真是太宝贵了。”

"I hope the warmth from all the volunteers here can stay with you all the time. And together with this unforgettable experience, we can head toward the future."

“我特别希望冬奥会结束时，大家可以把志愿者的温暖当作礼物带走。这样我们就可以携起手来，带着这段难忘的经历走向未来。”
