北京冬奥场馆命名的文化内涵与寓意

What's in a Name:Beijing's Winter Olympic Venue

2022年北京冬奥会共设25个场馆,分布在北京、延庆、张家口三个不同赛区。有趣的是,这些场馆除了官方正式公布的名称,人们根据场馆的外部特征、基本功能、历史来源等因素,又重新予以命名。警如,把国家高山滑雪中心叫“雪飞燕”,把国家雪车雪撬中心叫“雪游龙”,把国家速滑馆叫“冰丝带”,把国家体育馆叫“冰之帆”,把五棵松冰上运动中心叫“冰凌花”,把由国家游泳中心(水立方)改建而成的冰壶馆叫“冰立方”等。这些近乎昵称的命名,形象生动、通俗易懂,凸显了中国元素,表达了丰富的文化内涵。以下我们以“雪飞天”“雪如意”为例,分析并揭示隐藏在这些名称背后的文化内涵与寓意。

At the foot of the Shijingshan Mountains,by the banks of the Yongding River and in the shadow of the cooling towers,sits the massive BigAir jump platform.The main structure is 160 metres long,and is 30metres across at its widest point,and 60.05metres high.This is the newvenue for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics:Big Air Shougang.Because its shape resembles the apsaras'scarves depicted on the walls at Dunhuang,it has earned the nickname"Snow Feitian".
