直击里约奥运：领奖台之外的趣闻轶事

One or two bronzes?
一枚铜牌还是两枚铜牌？

At the Rio Olympics, there are 812 gold medals to be won, 812 silver - but 864 bronze. How come?
里约奥运会上共有812枚金牌和812枚银牌——但却有864枚铜牌。这又是咋回事？

With some sports it's very simple. In doubles badminton, for instance, only one pair can win bronze, so the two semi-finalists face each other in a play-off to decide who gets it. In golf, a play-off is held in the event of a tie.
在某些运动中，这不难解释。比如在羽毛球双打比赛中，只有一对选手可以获得铜牌，在半决赛中淘汰的组员二人需再比一轮，决出这枚铜牌花落谁家。而在高尔夫球场上，铜牌归属战则会于比赛二人平局后的加赛中开展。

But in some events, such as boxing, judo, taekwondo and wrestling, there are two bronze medals. In some cases, a bronze goes to each eliminated semi-finalist. In others, there's what's called a repechage, where those knocked out by the eventual winners are placed in two separate pools, and compete among themselves for one of two bronzes.
但在如拳击、柔道、跆拳道和摔跤等赛事中，每场比赛会颁发两枚铜牌。某些情况下，半决赛中惨遭淘汰的选手会各获一枚铜牌。而在另些场合，会加场“补充赛”，被冠军逐出竞赛场的选手们会被分到两组，而在他们当中的补充赛将决出两枚铜牌的获得者。
