“ 12小時前，德國漢諾威展覽集團（Deutsche Messe AG）在其官網發佈消息，2020年將沒有漢諾威工業博覽會。這意味著原本延期到7月13日的2020年漢諾威展將取消舉辦。好消息則是，一個數字信息和網絡平臺的在線展覽，將很快向客戶開放。”
以下為我們翻譯自漢諾威展會官網的消息，為了保證準確，我們同時也保留英文原文。
HANNOVER MESSE cannot take place this year due to the increasingly critical situation surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic. The Hannover region has issued a decree that prohibits the staging of the world's leading tradeshow for industrial technology. From now until the next HANNOVER MESSE in April 2021, a digital information and networking offer will provide exhibitors and visitors with the opportunity for economic policy orientation and technological exchange.
由於圍繞新冠病毒Covid-19大流行的形勢日益嚴峻，漢諾威展覽今年將無法舉行。德國漢諾威地區已經頒佈法令，禁止舉辦世界領先的工業技術貿易展。從現在到2021年4月的下一屆漢諾威展覽，數字信息和網絡服務將為參展商和參觀者提供經濟政策導向和技術交流的機會。
The world of industry will not be able to meet in Hannover this year. Comprehensive travel restrictions, bans on group gatherings and a prohibition decree in the Hannover region make it impossible to stage HANNOVER MESSE. At the same time, the corona crisis is affecting the economy, and the manufacturing industry – HANNOVER MESSE's core clientele – is already struggling with serious consequences of the pandemic. Demand and sales in German industry are declining, resulting in supply bottlenecks, production stops and reduced working hours for employees.
工業界今年將無法在漢諾威舉行會議。在漢諾威地區，全面的旅行限制、禁止團體聚會和禁令使得漢諾威展覽無法舉辦。與此同時，科羅納危機正在影響經濟，製造業——漢諾威展覽的核心客戶——已經在與這場流行病的嚴重後果作鬥爭。德國工業的需求和銷售正在下降，導致供應瓶頸、停產和員工工作時間減少。
"Given the dynamic development around Covid-19 and the extensive restrictions on public and economic life, HANNOVER MESSE cannot take place this year," says Dr. Jochen Köckler, Chairman of the Board of Management, Deutsche Messe AG. "Our exhibitors, partners and our entire team did everything they could to make it happen, but today we have to accept that in 2020 it will not be possible to host the world's most important industrial event."
“考慮到圍繞Covid-19的動態發展以及對公共和經濟生活的廣泛限制，漢諾威展覽今年無法舉辦，”德國漢諾威展覽集團管理委員會主席Jochen Kóckler博士說，“我們的參展商、合作伙伴和整個團隊盡了一切努力來實現這一目標，但今天我們必須接受，2020年將不可能舉辦世界上最重要的工業盛會。”
It is the first time in HANNOVER MESSE's 73-year history that the event will not take place. However, the organizers will not let the show completely vanish. "The need for orientation and exchange is particularly important in times of crisis," says Köckler. "That is why we are currently working intensely on a digital information and networking plattform for HANNOVER MESSE that we will open to our customers shortly."
這是漢諾威展覽館73年曆史上第一次不舉辦這項活動。不過，主辦方不會讓展示完全消失。“在危機時期，定向和交流的需求尤為重要，”Kóckler說，“這就是為什麼我們目前正在為漢諾威工業博覽會（HANNOVER MESSE）開發一個數字信息和網絡平臺，我們將很快向客戶開放。”
Various web-based formats will enable HANNOVER MESSE exhibitors and visitors to exchange information about upcoming economic policy challenges and technological solutions. Live streams will transport interactive expert interviews, panel discussions and best-case presentations all over the world. The online exhibitor and product search is also being enhanced, for example with a function that enables visitors and exhibitors to contact each other directly.
各種基於網絡的形式將使漢諾威展會的參展商和參觀者能夠就即將到來的經濟政策挑戰和技術解決方案交流信息。直播將在全世界傳播交互式專家訪談、小組討論和最佳案例演示。在線參展商和產品搜索也得到了增強，例如通過一項功能，參觀者和參展商可以直接聯繫。
"We firmly believe that nothing can replace direct, person-to-person contact and we are already looking forward to the time after Corona," says Köckler. "But especially in times of crisis, we must be flexible and act pragmatically. As organizers of the world's most important industrial trade fair, we want to offer orientation and sustain economic life during the crisis. We are doing that with our new digital offering."
“我們堅信，沒有什麼能取代直接的人與人之間的接觸，我們已經在期待科羅納之後的時光。”Köckler說，“但是，特別是在危機時期，我們必須採取靈活和務實的行動。作為世界上最重要的工業貿易博覽會的組織者，我們希望在危機期間提供定位和維持經濟生活。我們正在通過新的數字產品實現這一目標。”
Thilo Brodtmann, executive director of Germany's Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA), said, "The cancellation of HANNOVER MESSE 2020 is an unfortunate decision, but it is the only correct one. The mechanical engineering industry must now concentrate on minimizing the consequences of the pandemic in its own operations so that it can start up again. In April 2021, the engineers will be back in Hannover in full force."
德國機械工程工業協會（VDMA）執行理事Thilo Brodtmann說：“漢諾威展覽2020的取消是一個不幸的決定，但這是唯一正確的決定。機械工程行業現在必須集中精力在其自身業務中儘量減少流行病的後果，以便能夠重新啟動。2021年4月，工程師們將全部返回漢諾威。”
Wolfgang Weber, Chairman of the ZVEI Management Board: "The fact that Hannover Messe 2020 cannot be hosted is a bitter loss, but it is the right decision. For the electrical industry, the fair is the showcase to the world, which unfortunately remains closed this year. So our companies will use the time until 2021 to manage the considerable consequences of Corona. Next year, they will then present themselves with the latest products and solutions for Industry 4.0 and the energy system of the future."
ZVEI管理委員會主席Wolfgang Weber說：“漢諾威2020年博覽會不能舉辦，這是一個巨大的損失，但這是一個正確的決定。對於電氣行業來說，展會是向世界展示的場所，不幸的是，今年展會仍然關閉。因此，我們的公司將利用2021年之前的時間來管理科羅納的重大後果。明年，他們將展示工業4.0和未來能源系統的最新產品和解決方案。”
