為迎接今年夏天在當地舉行的奧林匹克運動會，法國首都巴黎24日恢復一項百年歷史賽事：服務員賽跑。數百名穿著制服的男女服務員當天手托餐盤，餐盤內放著羊角面包、一個空咖啡杯和一杯水，從巴黎市政廳出發，沿環線跑完2公里的賽程。

Men's winner Samy Lamrous and top waitress Pauline Van Wymeersch walked the two-kilometre (1.2-mile) route in 13 minutes 30 seconds and 14 minutes 12 seconds respectively – each carrying a tray with a croissant, espresso and glass of water.
男子組冠軍艾米·拉姆魯斯以13分30秒的成績完賽。波利娜·范韋梅爾斯荷以14分12秒的成績奪得女子組冠軍。他們手托餐盤，餐盤內放著羊角面包、意式咖啡和一杯水，跑完2公里的賽程。

As well as their medals, both winners would receive a night's stay in a swanky hotel, said city water authority Eau de Paris, which sponsored the event.
活動主辦方巴黎水利局表示，兩人還將獲得一晚豪華酒店體驗權。

First born in 1914, the "course des gar?ons de café" (cafe waiters' race) was held on March 24 for the first time since 2011 – four months before the city hosts the Olympics in July-August.
“服務員賽跑”誕生于1914年，2011年起比賽中斷后首次于3月24日舉行，此次比賽距離7月至8月舉行的巴黎奧運會還有四個月。

Unlike their Olympic counterparts, the waiters wore a white shirt, dark trousers and an apron provided by the organizers.
與奧運會運動員不同，參賽服務員穿著組織者提供的白襯衫、深色長褲和圍裙。

The 200 contestants started the race at city hall by the Seine river, set on their way by mayor Anne Hidalgo.
200名參賽者在塞納河畔市政廳起跑，由市長安妮·伊達爾戈發起跑令。

"We want the Olympic Games to give a positive boost to the profession" of restaurants and waitering, deputy mayor Nicolas Bonnet-Oulaldj said when the event was announced last month.
巴黎副市長博內·烏拉吉在上個月宣布賽事時表示，“我們希望奧運會能積極推動”餐館和服務員行業的發展。
