为什么孙悟空会当选为东京奥运会形象大使呢？

说起日本东京奥运会的形象大使，相信很多童鞋脑海中都会浮现出很多人选，比如超萌的皮卡丘或者哆啦A梦，但是最后竟然是七龙珠中的孙悟空当选，真是让人意外。那么为什么孙悟空会最终当选呢?小编带大家看看这背后的故事。

Nope, this is not a joke. His dad is named Akira Toriyama and must be very proud. He's 5' 8", had a monkey tail as a child and has fought off some of the universe' s biggest threats.

不不不，这可不是开玩笑!他的“父亲”名叫鸟山明，这位父亲一定非常骄傲。我们说的这个“他”身高5英尺8英寸(约1米72)，是一位长着猴尾巴的孩子，曾驱走宇宙中最具威胁的一些角色。

And now he's beaten his friend Pikachu and the rest of the Pokemon for a spot as ambassador of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic games. We're of course talking about the one-and-only Son Goku.

现在他已战胜小伙伴皮卡丘和其他宠物小精灵，成为2020年东京奥运会形象大使。我们说的“他”当然就是那个独一无二的孙悟空。

The Tokyo Olympics are three years away but the Olympic committee has already settled on a decision. Goku is a world renowned Japanese character and he's worth investing in for the Olympics. He will feature alongside other Japanese pop culture icons such as Naruto, Sailor Moon, One Piece's Luffy and even Mario.

东京奥运会还有3 年之遥，但奥委会已经做出这一决定。悟空是世界闻名的日本角色，为了奥运会在他身上投资是值得的。他会和其他的日本流行文化偶像一起担当主角，这些偶像包括火影忍者、美少女战士、海贼王，甚至还有马里奥。

At the closing ceremony in Rio on August 21, 2016, the Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe even came out of a green tube dressed as Super Mario, and announced that Japanese culture would be a fundamental part of the Olympics in 2020.

在2016年8月21日的里约奥运会闭幕式上，日本首相安倍晋三甚至扮成超级马里奥的样子从一只绿水管中钻了出来，并宣布日本文化将成为2020奥运会的基础组成部分。
