世界经济论坛夏季会议取消

The World Economic Forum said Monday that it has canceled a summer version of its annual meeting that was due to take place in Singapore.

世界经济论坛星期一声明，取消原定在新加坡举行的夏季会议。

“Regretfully, the tragic circumstances unfolding across geographies, an uncertain travel outlook, differing speeds of vaccination rollout, and the uncertainty around new variants combine to make it impossible to realize a global meeting with business, government, and civil society leaders from all over the world at the scale which was planned,” the organization said in a statement.

该组织在一份声明中说: “令人遗憾的是，各地的悲惨情况、不确定的旅行前景、疫苗接种速度的差异，以及围绕新变种的不确定性结合在一起，使得无法按计划的规模与来自世界各地的商业、政府和民间社会领导人举行全球会议。”。

The event, which brings together politicians and business leaders from around the world, had already been rescheduled twice and had been moved to Singapore from its usual location of Davos, Switzerland. The summer event had been planned for the middle of August.

这次活动汇集了来自世界各地的政界和商界领袖，已经两次改期，并从通常的瑞士达沃斯地点搬到了新加坡。夏季会议原计划在八月中旬举行。

WEF said that the meeting will instead take place in the first half of 2022, with a final location and date to be determined later this year. Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairman of WEF called it a difficult decision.

世界经济论坛表示，这次会议将改在2022年上半年举行，最终地点和日期将在今年晚些时候确定。世界经济论坛创始人兼执行主席克劳斯•施瓦布(klaussschwab)称，这是一个艰难的决定。

“Ultimately the health and safety of everyone concerned is our highest priority,” he said in the statement, according to CNBC.

据CNBC报道，声明中表示：“最终，有关各方的健康和安全是我们的最高优先事项。”。
