迩来，2022北京冬奥会心爱的吉利物冰墩墩正在热销。为啥这只冰雪熊猫如此受等待呢？其方案不和有着怎样的奇思妙想？2022北京冬奥会吉利物方案团队担任人、广州美术学院教授曹雪向中心播送电视总台记者叙说了冰墩墩不和的故事。?

cao xue clearly remembers the exciting day of september 17, 2021.?on this day, the organizing committee of the winter olympic games officially announced the mascot designed by guangzhou academy of fine arts as the mascot of the beijing winter olympic games. after discussion by many experts and scholars, the mascot got a new name – “bing dwen dwen”.

2021年9月17日，曹雪理解地记住这个激悦耳心的日子。这一天，冬奥组委会正式宣告，北京冬奥会的吉利物将采用广州美术学院的方案方案。经过许多专家专家的谈论，这个吉利物有了一个新名字——冰墩墩。?

the 14-member design team led by cao xue are all teachers and graduate students from the school of visual arts and design of guangzhou academy of fine arts. during that time, there were almost no holidays, and the whole team need to revise and discuss every day, and they ended up completing over 10,000 manuscripts. in the end, bing dwen dwen, based on a panda, was selected from nearly 6,000 entries from 35 countries and regions.

以曹雪为首的方案团队共14人，均为广州美术学院视觉艺术与方案学院的教师和研讨生。那段时刻，整个团队几乎都没有放过假，我们每天都在批改谈论，一共画出了1万多幅手稿。究竟，以熊猫为原型的冰墩墩历来自35个国家和区域的近6000个参赛作品中锋芒毕露。?

bing dwen dwen is a panda with a high sense of science and technology. it captures attention with its full-body “shell” made out of ice. cao said the inspiration came from traditional chinese snack “ice-sugar gourd,” also known as tanghulu, which is candied hawthorns on a stick, while the shell also resembles a space suit – a nod to embracing new technologies for a future of infinite possibilities.

冰墩墩是一只充溢科技感的熊猫。它那包裹全身的“冰壳”分外引人留心。曹雪标明，冰墩墩的方案构思来自于我国传统小吃“冰糖葫芦”（一种串在棍子上的蜜饯山楂），一起其外壳也很像宇航服——包含着对将来无限可以性的拥抱。?

although the tanghulu idea was widely praised, it wasn’t enough to represent the image of a big country. so the team tried again and again, changing the image in the ice shell into elk, tiger, rabbit … various ideas have been proposed and overturned, but eventually it was decided that china’s national treasure panda is the most beloved by people all over the world.

尽管糖葫芦的构思广受好评，但它还缺乏以代表一个大国的形象。所以研讨团队一次又一次地测验，把冰壳里的形象改为麋鹿、山君、兔子……各种主意不断被提出和推翻，究竟我们觉得作为我国国宝的熊猫最会遭到全世界公民的喜爱。?

in order to make the panda look more pleasant, cao and his team members flew to china wolong daxiongmao museum in sichuan province for field observation. they found that a baby pandas’ head and body ratio is different from that of adult pandas, making them cuter. so they improved the image based on the baby panda.

为了让熊猫形象看起来更讨喜，曹雪和他的团队成员专门来到我国四川卧龙大熊猫博物馆进行实地调查。他们发现，熊猫宝宝的头部和身体比例与成年熊猫有所不一样，这让它们看起来愈加心爱。所以他们在熊猫宝宝的基础上对吉利物的形象进行了改进。?

as for bing dwen dwen’s popularity, cao said he expected it to be popular, but did not expect it to become so popular. “its ice shell is cold, but the image looks warm and lovely, i believe this kind of warmth can be something everybody feels,” said cao.

至于冰墩墩的受等待程度，曹雪标明，他意料到冰墩墩会很受等待，但没想到会如此受等待。曹雪说：“冰墩墩的外壳是严寒的，但其形象看起来又很温暖心爱。我信赖每自个都能感遭到这种温暖。”?

cao said it was a great honor for all the team to participate in the design of the winter olympics mascots, and it was the best practical education for the students involved. “i hope it will become a classic, impressive memory in olympic history,” added cao.

曹雪标明，能参加冬奥会吉利物的方案作业，整个团队都感到非常侥幸，这对参加方案的学生来说是最佳的实习教育。曹雪弥补道：“我期望它能变成奥运前史上一个经典的吉利物形象，给我们留下深化的形象。”
