Zimbabwe which is one of the countries in the Olympics without a medal presented a team of 31 athletes. The closest any of the athletes came to win a contest was at the 8th position.

津巴布韦是在奥运会中未获任何奖牌的国家之一,该国派出了一支由31名运动员组成的代表团。其中最佳成绩排名第8。

Mr. Mugabe who is incensed with the team’s performance told the Police Chief to arrest all the team members and detain them.

穆加贝先生对代表团的成绩感到震怒,下令警察总长逮捕所有运动员并拘留他们。

“We have wasted the country’s money on these rats we call athletes. If you are not ready to sacrifice and win even copper or brass medals (referring the 4th and 5th positions) as our neighbors Botswana did, then why do you go to waste our money” he said.

他说:“我们把国家的钱浪费在这些我们称为运动员的鼠辈身上。如果你们还没准备要牺牲,至少像我们的邻国博茨瓦纳那样拿下铜牌(指第4或第5名),那干嘛要浪费我们的钱。”

”If we needed people to just go to Brazil to sing our national anthem and hoist our flag, we would have sent some of the beautiful girls and handsome guys from University of Zimbabwe to represent us.”

“如果我们只是要派人去巴西唱国歌和升国旗,我们派出津巴布韦大学的俊男美女代表国家就好了。”

He added that, the money invested in the team to represent the country could have been used to provide amenities and build schools.

他还补充说,投资在代表国家的运动员身上的钱能够用来提供基础设施和修建学校。

“This situation is like an impotent man who is married to five women, what is the essence? We have given them opportunity to go and visit Brazil, but they are useless” he concluded.

他总结道:“这种情况就像是一个阳痿的男人娶了5个老婆,有什么用呢?我们给了他们去巴西的机会,但是他们却无功而返。”
