It's been dressed up as a win-win scenario. In truth one of them will be a bigger winner. Both cities started out bidding for 2024, now either Paris or Los Angeles will be asked to accept 2028 instead. It's still better than losing.

现在已经促成了双赢的局面。事实上，巴黎和洛杉矶其中一方将成为更大的赢家。两座城市起初申办的都是2024年奥运会，现在有一方将被要求举办2028年奥运会。但是这还是比申奥失败好。

For the IOC it buys them time to revamp the bidding process, to encourage other potential contenders who have been scared off, especially in Western Europe. After years when competition was fierce to stage the prestigious event, there's been a declining number of cities that are interested.

对于国际奥委会来说，这个结果为其改革申奥程序赢得了时间，且让其他望而却步的潜在申奥城市看到了希望，特别是西欧国家。数年前，申办奥运会是一场激烈的竞争，但现在对此感兴趣的城市越来越少。

Hamburg, Rome and Budapest pulled out of the current campaign, just two candidates competed for the right to host the 2022 Winter Games. The costs involved and a lack of public support were to blame.

汉堡、罗马和布达佩斯退出了这次竞争，只有两个候选城市争夺2022年冬奥会的主办权，原因在于经费问题和缺乏公众支持。
