分散多年的叙利亚兄弟在奥运会重逢

近日，一对叙利亚兄弟在东京奥运会上拥抱的照片在社交媒体迅速走红。

哥哥穆罕默德·马索(Mohamad Maso)将代表叙利亚参加铁人三项比赛，他也是唯一一位获得铁人三项资格的叙利亚运动员。

而他的弟弟阿拉(Alaa)则代表奥运难民队参加游泳比赛。

据报道，这对来自阿勒颇的兄弟在2015年离开叙利亚，一起踏上了前往欧洲的旅程。叙利亚体育联合会的公关经理萨夫万表示，“穆罕默德和阿拉目前一起住在德国，他们也是一起到达东京的。他们的很多家人仍然生活在叙利亚。”“拥抱是两兄弟之间自发的动作。但一些媒体和社交网络将这个故事带向了另一个方向。”并解释称，21岁的Alaa选择加入国际奥委会的难民代表团，并表示他没有被叙利亚拒绝。

Two Syrian refugee brothers have met on the sidelines of the Tokyo Olympics, with one representing the refugee team and the other representing the official Syrian team.

Alaa Maso, from the Refugee Olympic Team, was photographed embracing his brother Mohamed Maso as they both prepared to compete in the international tournament that opened on Friday.

Both brothers are originally from the city of Aleppo and now live in Germany. Their father was a swimming coach, a sport which Alaa took up, while Mohamed took up the triathlon.

According to his profile on the International Olympic Committee website, Alaa left Syria in 2015 after his training facilities were damaged during the fighting that first engulfed the country in 2011. He resettled in Germany and took up swimming again.
