冬季兩項
The word "biathlon" comes from the Greek word for "two contests", and is seen as the joining of two sports; skiing and shooting today.
“Biathlon”這個詞源于希臘語，它的意思是兩項比賽?，F在，“Biathlon”指的是射擊和越野滑雪相結合的冬季兩項。
Biathlon has its roots in the snow-covered forests of Scandinavia, where people would hunt on skis with rifles slung over their shoulders. In the 18th century, Norwegian skiing regiments began organising military skiing contests, which served as a precursor to the biathlon in modern times.
冬季兩項運動起源于斯堪的納維亞大雪覆蓋的森林地區。在那里，人們滑著雪板、扛著步槍在野外狩獵。18世紀，挪威邊防軍滑雪巡邏隊開始組織軍事滑雪競賽，這就是冬季兩項的前身。
Prior to the biathlon debut at the 1960 Winter Olympics, an antiquated form of the sport was featured at the 1924, 1928, 1936, and 1948 Winter Olympics: the military patrol. The event consisted of athletes competing in cross-country skiing, ski mountaineering and rifle shooting. Medals were awarded for the event in 1924, but it was a demonstration event for the other three Winter Games.
1960年冬奧會首次將冬季兩項列為正式比賽項目，在這之前，它以軍事巡邏——這種古老的形式出現在1924年、1928年、1936年和1948年冬奧會上。在比賽中，運動員需參加越野滑雪、登山滑雪和步槍射擊三項比賽。其中，1924年冬奧會冬季兩項成為獎牌項目，在另外三屆冬奧會比賽中是表演項目。
At the 1960 Squaw Valley Games, biathlon made its debut with the men's 20 km individual event. Women's biathlon made its first appearance on the Olympic programme in Albertville in 1992. Over the years, new events have been added to the biathlon competition at the Games. The most recent addition is the mixed relay, which was introduced at Sochi 2014.
在1960年斯闊谷冬奧會上，冬季兩項首次以男子20公里個人賽的形式出現。在1992年阿爾貝維爾冬奧會上，女子冬季兩項首次出現。經過多年的發展，冬季兩項增添了一些新的比賽項目——最新增加的項目是2014年索契冬奧會的混合接力賽。
Germany and Norway have dominated the Biathlon competition at the Winter Olympics, collecting 52 medals (19 golds) and 41medals (16 golds) respectively.
德國和挪威在冬奧會冬季兩項比賽中占據統治地位，他們分別獲得過52枚獎牌(19枚金牌)和41枚獎牌(16枚金牌)。
There are 33 medals available in biathlon, with 11 events in total - five each for men and women, plus one mixed team event.
冬季兩項共設11個比賽項目、33枚獎牌。其中男子競賽項目和女子競賽項目各5個，此外還包括一個混合團體項目。
