3月16日晚间，包括日本首相安倍晋三在内的七国集团成员国领导人召开视频会议，就协调控制新冠肺炎疫情等内容进行商讨。

会后，安倍表示他在会议中提出了“要以完整的形式举行东京奥运会及残奥会，以此证明人类终将战胜新冠病毒。”

安倍称，他的这一言论得到了其他七国集团成员国领导人们的支持。

据日本奥运大臣桥本圣子介绍，安倍所说的“以完整的形式举办”是指赛事能按原计划进行，且不会以无观众的参与而完成。

While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread and concerns over Japan‘s pledge to host the Tokyo Olympics mount， Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe declared on Tuesday that the Group of Seven（G7） leaders declared their support。

Abe and other G7 heads of state held a meeting by video conference late on Monday， when they committed to doing“whatever is necessary” to battle the coronavirus pandemic and to work together more closely to protect public health， jobs。 and growth。

“We will pull out all stops to prepare for the Olympics and Paralympics and aim for a complete event as proof that the human race will conquer the new coronavirus，” Abe said after the event。

“And I have gained the support from the G7 leaders，” he added。

Interpreting Abe‘s comments at a news conference hours later， Olympics Minister Seiko Hashimoto said a“complete” event referred to holding the Games this summer as planned， with spectators present。

然而，日本民众们对于此次奥运会的举办前景，态度并不乐观。

3月16日，日本共同社对民众就新冠肺炎疫情下东京奥运会能否如期举行进行舆论调查。结果显示，有69.9%的日本民众认为奥运会不能如期举行。

According to a Kyodo News survey on Monday， a total of 69.9 percent of Japanese people do not expect the Games to be held as scheduled。

与此同时，东京奥组委内部也存在分歧。虽然部分人士支持奥运会按原计划召开，推迟举行的声音也不绝于耳。东京奥组委理事高桥治之此前在接受《华尔街日报》采访时表示，相比于取消奥运会，延期举办的方法更实际可行。

国际奥委会主席托马斯•巴赫此前表示，关于东京奥运会是否能如期举办，国际奥委会将听取世界卫生组织的建议。

However， the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee remained divided。 Some still support Abe‘ stance， but several members like Haruyuki Takahashi favor postponement of the Games。 Takahashi insisted in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that a delay to push the event back is a more feasible option than scrapping the Games entirely。

“We‘ll have to start talking about this seriously from April。 I don’t think the Games could be canceled， it‘d be a delay，” Takahashi said。“The IOC would be in trouble if there’s a cancellation。 American TV rights alone provide them with a huge amount。”

President Thomas Bach stressed earlier that IOC will follow the World Health Organization recommendations。

“I don‘t want to give legal advice，” said Bach。“The issue is not on the table and has not been considered。”
