　　Rio de Janeiro (CNN) The making of the 2016 Rio Olympic and Paralympic medals is a mix of art and science.

　　里約(CNN)2016里約奧運會和殘奧會獎牌的制作是一次藝術(shù)和科學的結(jié)合。

　　A team of about 100 people, including sculptors and machine operators, have been working in secret inside the Brazilian Mint to produce more than 5,000 medals ahead of the Games.

　　一支大概一百人的團隊一直在巴西鑄幣廠內(nèi)隱秘作業(yè)，趕在奧運會之前出產(chǎn)5000多枚獎牌。這支團隊包含雕琢家和機器操作人員。

　　And while the athletes will be earning the medals, the makers of the medals feel an equal connection to their shiny masterpieces.

　　運動員們將奮力贏取獎牌，而這些獎牌的制造者們也覺得自個與這些閃閃發(fā)光的工藝品有著相同的關(guān)聯(lián)。

　　"Seeing them on the podium, I’ll know I made that medal," said Nelson Neto Carneiro, the sculptor who made the mold for the 2016 medals. "I’ll feel like I’m getting a medal myself."

　　為2016年奧運會獎牌制造模具的雕琢家內(nèi)爾松.內(nèi)圖.卡內(nèi)羅說：“看到它們出現(xiàn)在領(lǐng)獎臺上，我知道那枚獎牌是我創(chuàng)造的，那感覺就好像是自己獲得了獎牌一樣。”

　　Carneiro has made many coins during his 41-year tenure at the Brazilian Mint, but he said sculpting the Olympic medals is one of the most exciting projects he has done.

　　在巴西鑄幣廠工作的41年間，卡內(nèi)羅制造了很多硬幣，但他說，雕琢奧運會獎牌是他完成的最令人興奮的項目之一。

　　While the mold can be made using a computer, Carneiro worked on it for two weeks by hand with precision tools that, he says, gave him more control over the design.

　　雖然能夠運用電腦制造模具，但是卡內(nèi)羅仍花了兩周時間，運用精細工具，純手工打造出了獎牌模具。他說，精細的工具能讓他在設(shè)計上揮灑自如。

　　Once the hand-sculpted mold is scanned into a computer a CNC router, or a computer-controlled cutting machine, etches the metallic mold. Then the mold is put under a microscope for quality control before heading to the factory.

　　一旦手工雕琢的模具被掃描進計算機CNC，即電腦控制切割機，金屬模型就被雕琢成功。接著，它將被放置在顯微鏡下，通過質(zhì)量管理程序后，被送往工廠。

　　Factory workers then use a loud press machine to strike the mold with 550 tons of force -- three times -- to create the coveted round symbols of victory.

　　接著，工人們使用沖壓機用來沖壓模具，其力量高達550噸——且需沖壓三次——就制造出了大家夢寐以求的、圓形的、成功的象征——奧運獎牌。

　　The gold medals go through an extra step called the "bath of gold." The gold medal is actually made of 494 grams of silver and 6 grams of gold.

　　但是對于金牌，還要經(jīng)歷一道被稱為“鍍金”的附加工序。事實上，金牌是由494克銀和6克黃金制造而成的。

　　The melted gold and silver of a gold medal is worth about $587 in current market prices. The last time Olympic medals were made of pure gold was during the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden.

　　以當前的市場價來看，將金牌熔化后所得的黃金和銀總價值約為587美元。最后一次為奧運健兒提供純金打造的金牌，是在1912年瑞典斯德哥爾摩舉行的夏季奧運會上。
