东京奥组委主席森喜朗说他赞成实行夏令时，以便2020年东京奥林匹克运动会期间运动员能在较凉快的气温下比赛。请看本报昨日的报道：

The head of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics says he favors moving to daylight saving time so sports events can be held in cooler temperatures.

Yoshiro Mori says “we can use this opportunity of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics for the government to make a bold decision. I have asked the government to seriously consider it.”

Mori is the president of the local organizing committee. He was speaking yesterday at the opening of meetings with representatives of the International Olympic Committee. Mori’s support for moving the clocks forward in Japan comes after a deadly heat wave this summer in Tokyo. It has also met strong opposition.

报道中的daylight saving(s) time是美国说法，就是“夏令时”，英国用summer time，就是在夏季把时钟提早一个小时。
