东京：本周在日本名古屋举行的亚洲残疾人运动会上，国歌播放错误发生了三次，市长为此道歉，此前该市刚举办完问题频出的亚洲运动会。
TOKYO: Wrong national anthems were played three times at the Asian Para Games in Japan's Nagoya this week, prompting the mayor to apologise just days after the city hosted the mishap-plagued Asian Games.
亚洲残疾人运动会正在日本中部枢纽城市名古屋举行，将持续至周六，共有约4000名运动员和官员参加18个大项的比赛。
The Asian Para Games is taking place in the central Japanese hub city through Saturday, featuring around 4,000 athletes and officials in 18 sports.
名古屋市长广泽一郎周三（10月21日）就最新的失误道歉，尽管官员此前承诺采取措施防止错误，包括播放正确的国歌。
Nagoya Mayor Ichiro Hirosawa apologised on Wednesday (Oct 21) for the latest error, which occurred despite officials' pledges to implement steps to prevent mistakes, including playing the correct national anthems.
“这些事情在亚运会期间发生过，所以当然根据吸取的教训对运营进行了回顾和检查。结果又发生了，实在是无法接受，”市长在记者会上表示。
"These things happened during the Asian Games, so of course the operations were reviewed and examined based on the lessons learned. The fact that it happened again is really just unacceptable," the mayor told a press conference.
据市长记者会上的名古屋市官员透露，周一，一名台湾运动员赢得男子残疾人跆拳道比赛冠军，但播放了伊朗国歌，且完整播放完毕。官员称，他们在颁奖仪式后才意识到错误。
On Monday, a Taiwanese athlete won a men's para taekwondo competition, but the Iranian anthem was played in its entirety, according to Nagoya officials at the mayor's press conference. Officials realised their mistake after the ceremony, they said.
据该市方面称，同一天，在女子残疾人跆拳道颁奖仪式上，一名蒙古选手领取金牌时，又播放了一次伊朗国歌。在蒙古代表团指出错误后，错误的音乐被停止播放。
On the same day, the Iranian anthem was played again during a women's para taekwondo ceremony, where a Mongolian competitor was receiving the gold medal, according to the city. The incorrect music was stopped after the Mongolian delegation pointed out the error.
名古屋市官员称，主办方随后在代表团提供音乐后播放了蒙古国歌。
Organisers then played the Mongolian anthem after the music was provided by the delegation, Nagoya officials said.
另外周一，在一场中国对阵伊朗的坐式排球比赛前，官员误播了韩国国歌约五秒，而非中国国歌。
Separately on Monday, officials broadcast the South Korean anthem for about five seconds, instead of the Chinese one, before a sitting volleyball match between China and Iran.
“无法接受，或者说，这很痛苦。我对此深表歉意，”市长表示，并补充说他认为赛事总体进展顺利。
"It is unacceptable, or rather, it's painful. I am very sorry about it," the mayor said, adding that he felt the tournament was otherwise progressing smoothly.
10月初结束的亚洲运动会，因运动员住宿条件不足、播放错误国歌等一系列缺陷，遭到严厉批评。9月18日，赛事组织者为韩国冰球队演奏了朝鲜的国歌。
The Asian Games, which concluded in early October, faced heavy criticism for shortcomings ranging from inadequate accomodations for athletes to the playing of wrong national anthems. On Sep 18, organisers played North Korea's national anthem for the South Korean hockey team.
