巴黎奥运会吉祥物亮相！网友：很眼熟……
当地时间11月14日，巴黎奥组委公布了2024年奥运会和残奥会的吉祥物“弗里热”，引发网友热烈讨论。
The Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics unveiled the Phryges as their official mascots this week, showing off cartoonish images that are meeting with wide-ranging reactions.
Phryges are small Phrygian caps, which represent a strong symbol of liberty, inclusivity and the ability of people to support great and meaningful causes. They are kitted out in a red, white and blue colourway, with the golden Paris 2024 logo emblazoned across their chests.
此外，残奥会吉祥物有一条“腿”被设计成了假肢，体现包容的体育价值观。
The difference is that Paralympic mascot wears a prosthetic running blade to raise the profiles of para athletes and people with disabilities and to promote the sporting values of inclusion.
他们也被赋予了不同的个性，奥运会吉祥物是一个“具有精明头脑的战术家”，残奥会吉祥物则是“率真的、充满活力和热情的” 。
The two mascots share a motto of “Alone we go faster, but together we go further”, and the Olympic Phryge is described as “a tactician with a calculating brain”, while the Paralympic Phryge is “spontaneous and full of energy and enthusiasm”.
在《蓝精灵》动画片中，蓝精灵戴的便是弗里吉亚帽。
圆锥形弗里吉亚帽在法国有着悠久的历史，原来它是小亚细亚地区弗里吉亚人戴的无边软帽，法国大革命开始后演变成“追求自由的象征”。
如今，法兰西共和国的国家象征玛丽安娜女神头上戴的就是这种帽子。在德拉克洛瓦的名画《自由引导人民》中，高举三色旗的自由女神头上戴的也是这种弗里吉亚帽，象征1830年的七月革命推翻了复辟的波旁王朝。
It's a symbol of revolution and freedom, of striving. It's an icon seen over centuries, from the Notre Dame Cathedral to the Eiffel Tower.
弗里吉亚帽是革命、自由、奋斗的象征。几个世纪以来，在巴黎圣母院大教堂、埃菲尔铁塔，都能看到这顶标志性的帽子。
More specifically, it's the red bonnet famously worn by Marianne, the artistic personification of the free French republic.
更具体地说，这顶弗里吉亚帽是玛丽安娜头顶标志性的红色帽子。玛丽安娜是法兰西共和国的国家象征。
巴黎奥运品牌设计总监朱莉·马斯基介绍称，“吉祥物具有强烈的象征意义，以前常常是东道主的动物图腾……这一次，我们选择了能承载法国革命精神、历史和价值观的弗里吉亚帽。在比赛期间，它们会出现在赛场内外，与观众们亲密互动。”
Julie Matikhine, the brand manager of the Paris 2024 Games, said of the Phryges: “It is a mascot who embodies the French spirit. An ideal that carries the values of our country, a part of our history and a singular point of view on the world.”
