奧運會旗原始圖樣拍賣

An Olympic flag design created by Pierre de Coubertin was sold for 185,000 euros on Sunday, the auction house in Cannes that organized the sale said.
戛納一家拍賣行稱，7月26日，現代奧林匹克之父皮埃爾·德·顧拜旦設計的奧運會會旗原始圖樣在該行組織的拍賣會上以18.5萬歐元拍出。

The drawing is made on a white canvas measuring 21cm x 27.5cm, in graphite and opaque watercolor, and consists of an intertwining of five rings of different colors.
設計者在一張尺寸爲21釐米*27.5釐米的白布上，用石墨和不透明水彩畫了五個不同顏色的圓環組成的圖案。

The five rings represented the five participating continents of the time.
五環代表了當時參加現代奧林匹克運動會的五大洲。

Alexandre Debussy, associate director of Cannes Encheres, said that the design was sold to a Brazilian collector for that sum, adding that France's National Sport Museum made a bid that was not enough to secure its purchase.
戛納·恩切里斯博物館副館長亞歷山大·德彪西表示，這幅設計作品最終由一位巴西收藏家拍得。他還表示，法國體育博物館也參加了這次競拍，但最終未能拍到這幅作品。

Created in 1913 by Coubertin, the father of the modern Olympics, the design had been given to one of his supporters in Lausanne, and stayed in the same family until it was bought by the collector who put it up for auction on Sunday.
顧拜旦於1913年創作了這一圖案，並將其送給了他在洛桑的一名支持者。此後，這幅圖樣一直被這個家族收藏，直到被一位收藏家買下。這位收藏家7月26日將其拍賣。
