据Netty Ismail和Kok Leong Chan报道，尽管印度尼西亚森林大火引发的有毒烟霾持续笼罩，马来西亚仍决定继续举办吉隆坡渣打马拉松赛。不过，主办方取消了儿童组比赛，以在健康顾虑与预计吸引数万名参赛者的赛事需求之间取得平衡。
Malaysia is pressing ahead with the Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon despite the toxic haze from Indonesia’s wildfires, although it did cancel the kids’ race as organizers balance health concerns with an event expected to draw tens of thousands of participants. The run will proceed this weekend with the 26.2-mile (42 kilometers) marathon, the half marathon and two shorter-distance categories, the organizers said in an Instagram post Friday.
主办方周五在Instagram上发文称，本周末的赛事将如期举行，包括26.2英里（42公里）的全程马拉松、半程马拉松以及两个短距离组别。
The “Kids Dash races will be canceled, in the best interest of the children,” it added.
文中补充道：“出于对儿童的最佳利益考虑，‘儿童冲刺赛’（Kids Dash）将被取消。”
Before Friday’s rain, Kuala Lumpur’s air quality had remained largely in unhealthy territory for the past two months.
在周五降雨之前，吉隆坡的空气质量在过去两个月里一直处于不健康水平。根据监测公司IQAir汇编的数据，马来西亚首都曾一度跻身全球污染最严重的城市之列。
Malaysia’s capital city had ranked among the most polluted in the world, according to data compiled by monitoring company IQAir. Malaysia is also going ahead with its first Formula One race in nine years this weekend at the Sepang International Circuit, about 30 miles south of Kuala Lumpur.
马来西亚本周末还将在吉隆坡以南约30英里的雪邦国际赛道举办九年来的首场一级方程式（F1）比赛。由于中东战争造成的影响，该赛事已从巴林移师至此。
The event was moved from Bahrain due to the disruption caused by the war in the Middle East. Malaysian authorities have carried out cloud-seeding operations around the circuit in an effort to induce rainfall and improve air quality.
马来西亚当局已在赛道周边开展了人工增雨作业，试图通过降雨来改善空气质量。
The Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia has attracted almost 100,000 ticket sales, a record for the Sepang circuit.
在马来西亚举办的F1海湾航空巴林大奖赛已售出近10万张门票，创下了雪邦赛道的纪录。包括七届世界冠军刘易斯·汉密尔顿和梅赛德斯车队新星基米·安东内利在内的全球顶尖车手，已在赛前抵达吉隆坡。目前正在进行的环兰卡威自行车赛也定于周日结束。
The world’s fastest drivers, including seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes rising star Kimi Antonelli were spotted in Kuala Lumpur ahead of the race. Le Tour de Langkawi, a multi-stage bicycle race that’s currently underway, is also due to end on Sunday. This year’s fires in Indonesia have been exacerbated by a strong El Niño, a cyclical weather pattern which intensifies dry conditions in some parts of the world and heavy rainfall in others.
今年印度尼西亚的火灾因强厄尔尼诺现象而加剧。这是一种周期性的天气模式，会导致全球部分地区干旱加剧，而其他地区则出现强降雨。
For runners, the haze has added uncertainty to months of training. Nidyah Sani, who was looking forward to her first half marathon, was anxiously awaiting the organizer’s decision as she traveled by train from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur on Friday with a group of friends.
对于跑者而言，雾霾为他们数月的训练增添了不确定性。尼迪亚·萨尼（Nidyah Sani）原本期待着完成自己的首个半程马拉松，周五她与一群朋友乘火车从新加坡前往吉隆坡时，正焦急地等待着主办方的决定。
“The haze scuppered our training over the last three weeks, and I’m relieved the event is proceeding,” the Singaporean said. “I’m glad I don’t have to sign up for another half marathon now.”
“过去三周，雾霾打乱了我们的训练计划，赛事能如期举行让我松了一口气，”这位新加坡人说道，“我很高兴现在不必再去报名参加另一场半程马拉松了。”渣打银行吉隆坡马拉松赛曾于2015年因雾霾而取消。
The StanChart marathon in Kuala Lumpur was canceled in 2015 because of haze. “To all runners: you know your body best,” the organizers of the 2026 event said Friday.
“致所有跑者：你们最了解自己的身体状况，”2026年赛事的主办方周五表示，“如果您有潜在的健康问题，请在决定参赛前仔细权衡。”
“If you have underlying health issues, please weigh your options carefully before deciding to run.”
