双语：西班牙奥运制服成笑柄 为省钱请俄罗斯设计

风清扬

　　Spain's garish red and yellow Olympic uniforms have not gone down well with some athletes preparing to head off to London, and have become the butt of jokes on social media networks.

　　Photos posted on Twitter by gold medal winning canoeist Saul Craviotto and hockey player Alex Fábregas have been doing the rounds this week, reopening a debate that first surfaced when Spanish designers criticised the outfits in May.

　　"At home trying on the Olympic clothes. Best I don't comment, I will leave it up to you …" Craviotto said on his account while posing with full kit including baseball cap and backpack.

　　"Olympic outfit, there aren't enough adjectives," Fábregas, who won a silver in Beijing, said alongside his photo taken in their official tracksuit.

　　The Russian firm Bosco, which also designed the Russian and Ukrainian kits, have provided the outfits free of charge in a deal with the Spanish Olympic Committee (COE).

　　"The outfits are what we have, we cannot change them now, and were decided upon more than a year and a half ago," the COE president, Alejandro Blanco, told sports daily AS on Wednesday. "When Rafa Nadal [the flag bearer] and all the others appear in their uniforms the whole world will applaud and Spain as well."

　　In a separate interview with ABC Punto Radio, Blanco said, "When you measure the difference between paying one and a half million of public money and free clothes, there is no discussion."

　　Spanish designers have expressed their indignation that no national companies were employed to clothe their own athletes, and said the designs did not present a good image for the country's fashion industry. They cited nations such as the United States, Britain and Italy who had chosen high-profile designers such as Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney or Armani as examples.

　　COE dismissed their arguments saying that no Spanish company had stepped forward to offer their services.

　　"Looking forward to seeing Feliciano López wearing the official Olympic uniform. He'll never have worn anything so ugly in his life," the former tennis world No1 Carlos Moya said on Twitter. World No 30 Lopez replied: "It's loud, very loud. But it's what we have, man. Spain is different and it always will be."

　　据外电报道，西班牙奥运代表团的制服最近在社交网络上成了笑柄，出征伦敦的西班牙运动员表示，扎眼的红色加上黄色的搭配让他们感觉非常不合身。　西班牙运动员本周早些时候将奥运制服的照片放到了推特上，网友看到后纷纷吐槽，西班牙的设计师们也是毫不客气地给予了批评之词。

　　赛艇冠军克拉维奥托说：“我在家试了这套衣服，算了，我还是不做评论了，衣服送给你们吧。”虽然没有明说，但我们从克拉维奥托的话中能看出他有多么的无奈与不满。

　　北京奥运会曲棍球银牌得主法布雷加斯说：“我都没有足够的形容词来形容这套奥运制服。”

　　负责西班牙奥运代表团制服设计的是一家俄罗斯公司，他们也负责俄罗斯奥运代表图制服的设计。该公司执行董事说：“制服的样式在一年半之前就已经决定了，现在已经没办法改了。当纳达尔穿着这套制服出现在奥运开幕式的时候，全世界都会为西班牙鼓掌的。”据悉，制服是这家公司免费提供给西班牙奥委会的，该公司负责人也表示说，花钱的奥运制服和免费的本来就是有区别的，将两者比较是没有意义的。这正是应了那句话：便宜没好货，更何况还是不要钱的。

　　西班牙国内的设计师对此事非常地愤怒，因为西班牙奥组委竟然没有雇佣本国的公司负责奥运制服的设计工作，而俄罗斯生产的奥运制服完全代表不了西班牙时尚产业的形象。
