Another Winter Games has officially come to a close, which means another closing ceremony has come and gone.
又一届冬奥会正式落下帷幕，这意味着又一个闭幕式随之而来，并且已经圆满结束。
In each ceremony, there are moments of entertainment, celebration and reflection.
在每个仪式中，都有娱乐、庆祝和缅怀的时刻。
The “Moment of Remembrance” is a very important part of the Olympic Games’ Closing Ceremony, and for this year, the theme “A Willow Twig” presents the segment with Chinese characteristics.
“缅怀时刻”是奥运会闭幕式非常重要的组成部分，今年冬奥会闭幕式的主题是“折柳寄情”，这一环节体现了中国特色。
The willow twig is a part of the willow tree, and in Chinese, the character for the willow tree is a homophone of the character liu, which means asking a person to stay when bidding farewell. Thus it symbolizes the sorrow of separation.
柳枝是柳树的一部分，在中文里，“柳”谐音“留”，意思是告别时请人留下。因此，柳枝象征着分离的悲伤。
In ancient days, when two friends part, the traveling party will always receive a willow twig as a gift.
在古代，当两个朋友分开时，远游的一方总是会收到一根柳枝作为礼物。
The athletes were met with success, disappointments and historic memories, but now it is time to depart.
运动员们有成功，有失望，也拥有了历史性的回忆，但现在到了离别的时候。
For the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, it was only fitting that the willow twig would be incorporatedinto the ceremony as the athletes depart to their respective countries.
在北京奥运会的闭幕式上，因为运动员们要启程回国了，在闭幕式中表演“折柳寄情”是非常合适的。
Performers dance farewell with the “Moment of Rememberance, The Message of a Willow Twig” during the closing ceremony of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games, Feb. 20, 2022, in Beijing.
2022年2月20日，在北京举行的2022年冬奥会闭幕式上，表演者们以 “缅怀时刻：伤感的柳枝”为主题挥舞告别。
The performers beautifully interacted with a LED floor to show imagery of the willow, one that showed the emotional symbolism of “a bittersweet goodbye.”
演员与地面上的屏幕影像完美互动，展现虚拟的柳枝，表现出了“苦涩又甜蜜的离别”的情感寄托。
The theme of “one world, one family” continued to be evident through the Games as 365 different individuals all held a willow branch that represented “the unwavering spirit of remembering the departed through the 365 days of a year.”
“天下大同，天下一家”的主题在整个冬奥会中得以体现，365个人都拿着一根柳枝，代表着 “一年365天怀念远行朋友的坚定信念。”
The stage then turned into a beautiful shade of green, which was a symbol of the shifting of past negativity into the blossoming of a new day.
然后，舞台变成了一片美丽的绿色，这象征着过去的不愉快转变成新一天绽放的鲜花。
