东京奥运委员会本周四表示，2020年东京奥林匹克运动会的组委会官网可能正在经受黑客袭击,因为委员和公众长达12个小时不能进入官网。
According to the committee, the website crashed on Wednesday evening around 8:30 p.m. local time and access could not be gained until Thursday morning at around 9 a.m.
据委员会报道称，网站于本周三大约8:30时崩溃，用户无法进入，直到周四早上九点系统才恢复正常。
"We think we suffered a cyber-attack. It is an extremely serious issue," a senior member of the organizing committee told a press gathering Thursday, with reports also stating that multiple coordinated attempts to connect to the website that deactivated the committee's site had been recorded.
“我觉得我们正受黑客袭击的折磨，这是一起非常严重的事件，”组委会高级成员周四在媒体发布会上讲。报道同时声明，很多阻碍委员会网站的协调尝试已经被记录在案。
The company hosting and operating the committee's servers said they disabled the system following an unusual amount of traffic, which they deemed was a deliberate attempt to crash the servers.
主持和运营委员会网站服务器的公司说，他们通过异常的传输量使系统瘫痪，他们认为这一传输量是阻碍服务器的蓄意尝试。
The committee and the government said they are as yet unaware of the motive for the attack and investigations are currently underway.
委员会和政府说，他们现在还不清楚攻击的动机，调查目前正在进行。

Following a similar attack on the 2012 London Olympics website, Tokyo officials said last month they would bolster their efforts to combat cyber-attacks, by establishing a dedicated entity to train personnel to deal with digital information gathering to be launched next year.
继2012年伦敦奥运会官网相似的袭击后，日本官方上月称，他们将会支持打击黑客袭击的努力，通过建立一个专用的实体以培训处理数据信息的人员，这一计划将于明年开展。
The attack has garnered a great deal of media attention due to the fact that an international conference on cyber security, backed by the World Economic Forum, will be held in Okinawa, Japan's southern most prefecture, from the weekend.
这一袭击行为引来很多媒体的关注，因为事实上，由世界经济论坛支持的国际网络安全会议将于本周末于日本南部大部分地区冲绳县举行。
The conference's agenda has been based around the central theme of how to effectively guard against potential cyber attacks in the period before and during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
会议议程基于中心主题“在2020年东京奥林匹克运动会期间如何有效地预防可能的黑客袭击”。
