Pyeongchang, South Korea has been awarded the 2018 Winter Olympics, beating out bids from Munich, Germany and Annecy, France.
在剛剛宣布的結果中，韓國的平昌擊敗了德國的慕尼黑和法國的安錫，獲得了2018年冬奧會的主辦權。

International Olympic Committee president Jaques Rogge announced the results at an IOC meeting in Durban, South Africa.
國際奧委會主席羅格在南非德班舉行的奧林匹克會議上宣布了這項結果。

After close defeats for the 2010 and 2014 Games, Pyeongchang was considered the favorite.
經歷了2010和2014的失敗之后，平昌最終被認定為舉辦冬奧會的最佳選擇。

Munich was hoping to become the first city to host both a Summer and Winter Olympics and was seen the main challenger.
慕尼黑本期待能成為第一個同時舉辦過夏季和冬季奧運會的城市，也被認定為最有威脅的競爭者。

滬江小編：奧運會最終還是沒有走出不會連續(xù)兩屆在同一個大洲舉辦的定律，在韓國的好處是，咱看比賽不用倒時差熬夜啦。
