Kohei Jinno fans out the black and white photos of his family posing proudly in front of their central Tokyo home, a house they were forced to leave ahead of the 1964 Olympic Games to make way for construction of the main stadium.
甚野公平攤開許多張他們一家人自豪地站在東京市中心自宅前的黑白照片，這棟房子就是他們在1964年東京奧運前被迫離開、以便騰出空間興建主場館的家。
Now Jinno, 79, has to move again.
如今高齡79歲的甚野又得搬家了。
The public housing complex where he and his wife live, close to the stadium and the site of his former home - currently a parking lot - is slated to be destroyed as part of construction of a new stadium for the 2020 Summer Olympics, which Tokyo won the right to host again earlier this month.
他與妻子目前住在鄰近奧運主場館與老家原址的國宅（老家如今已是停車場），但在東京本月稍早贏得奧運主辦權後，已排定為了興建2020年夏季奧運新體育場將加以拆除。
Jinno, who turns 80 next month, has no idea where he will move, or when. He said two hundred families in the same complex, most of them elderly, face the same dilemma.
下個月滿80歲的甚野不知未來何去何從，或何時得搬家。他說，同一處國宅內的200個家庭，其中大部分是老人，都面臨相同困境。
"I wish they wouldn’t have the Olympics in Tokyo again," he said. "I can bear getting evicted if it’s just the once in a lifetime. But twice? It’s ridiculous." （Reuters）
「我真希望東京沒能再度舉辦奧運」，他說。「如果一輩子只被迫遷離家園一次我還可以忍受。但兩次？太荒謬了。」（路透）
