距离北京冬奥会开幕不到一个月,这样一个画面在社交平台上刷屏了↓↓

原来是又有记者背着“2008年北京奥运会媒体背包”现身冬奥会媒体中心。
Reporters have been spotted carrying bags from the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing as they run around venues for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
这看似巧合的一幕,已经在过去14年时间里出现了多次。
这款“中国制造”的媒体包深得各国记者喜爱。东京奥运会期间,就有不少外国记者背着绣有08北京奥运会标志的背包。

Similar media bags, made 14 years ago in Beijing, have also been seen on the backs and shoulders of many journalists at other Olympics such as those in Tokyo, Rio and London.
为何只对它“情有独钟”,当时有记者坦言,北京奥运会的媒体包是最好的、最实用的(practical)、最结实的(sturdy)。
伊朗一位记者曾表示,每逢大赛都背着它。“背包对于一个摄影记者来说太重要了,这个包的质量和设计都很友好。”
An Iranian reporter who covered Beijing 2008 said, "All the Olympic Games I carried it. I have covered four Olympic Games. Each time I carried the Beijing media bag because its quality is very good. It is specially designed for professional photographers."
西班牙记者费南多还曾背着这个包去了伦敦、里约,又背到了东京......

2010年新华社记者要去南非报道世界杯时,全员都背着北京奥运会的媒体包。
等到了南非才发现同款包包屡见不鲜。大家聊起来才知道,彼此都是觉得北京奥运会的媒体包很好用,于是一直使用。
小小的背包成为“中国制造”的缩影。网友:所以,大家是来“免费续包”了吗?





不仅是背包,北京奥运会奖牌的质量也曾让国际社会惊叹。
此前,2008年北京奥运会体操团体项目金牌获得者、俄罗斯艺术体操运动员达里娅家中失火,烧得一片狼藉,但令她惊讶的是,那枚“金镶玉”完好无损,甚至连绶带都没被烧坏!
After a fire burned down her flat and destroyed most of her precious belongings, Russian rhythmic gymnast Daria Shkurikhina, 30, who won a gold medal at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, was surprised to find the medal and the banner remained in perfect condition.

今年,世界各地前往北京参与冬奥会报道的媒体工作者,都将收到全新的媒体包。

媒体包内除了保温杯外,还有中国特色的窗花和中国结,浓浓的年味扑面而来。
For the 2022 Games, reporters will receive a new media package which contains notebooks, pens, thermos, hats and cultural souvenirs such as paper-cut window decoration and Chinese knots.

相信在2024年巴黎奥运、2026年米兰冬奥会上,北京的奥运媒体包还会出现在媒体中心。它们也将随着全球媒体记者的脚步,成为行走的中国名片。
