Outcry arises over haphazard transport of China’s national table tennis trophies
老外看了要吐血：国乒竟然用小板车拉奖杯!
A picture on Sina Weibo recently went viral, showing the four trophies won by China’s national table tennis team in the just-concluded 2017 World Table Tennis Championship being transported on a shabby pallet truck.
最近新浪微博上一张照片火了，照片中国乒用小板车拉着从刚刚结束的2017乒乓球世锦赛上赢来的4座奖杯。
The photo was posted by the doctor for the national team after they returned from the championship, held in Düsseldorf, Germany. The trophies are a symbol of the highest honor in the sport. Though the Chinese players easily won the cups, many speculated that it could embarrass athletes from other countries to see the trophies on the pallet.
这张照片是国乒队医在从杜塞尔多夫世锦赛返程途中发布的，而这几座奖杯是乒乓球运动中最高的荣誉。虽然中国队赢得很轻松，但是许多网民表示如果让外国运动员看到国乒用小板车拉奖杯，可能会非常尴尬。
Winners of the trophies do not get to keep the prizes indefinitely - only until the next championship. If a player wins gold three times in a row, he or she is awarded a small duplicate of the real trophy.
奖杯获得者不能无限期保留这些奖杯——在下次世锦赛时就要交出。如果一名运动员连续三次获得金牌，那么这名运动员就会被授予一个小一点的复制品奖杯。
Some people joked on social media that the Chinese table tennis team just rotates the trophies to the championship and back out because of their consistently strong performance. Although the national team seemed to win without the slightest effort, they do train hard for their victories.
许多人在社交媒体上开玩笑说，由于中国队的表现太强了，这些奖杯只是到世锦赛上打了一个转，最后又回来了。虽然国乒赢得很轻松，但是他们平时的训练也很艰苦。
