So, we are not rewarding Russia, but we are allowing athletes that we believe are clean to compete under a neutral flag.

我们不是在奖励俄罗斯，我们只是让那些我们认为“清白”的运动员以中立身份参赛。

The German decree added that, as the British admiralty had ordered the use of neutral flags by English ships in time of distress, neutral vessels would be in danger of destruction if found in the forbidden area.

德国法令补充说，由于英国海军部已下令英国船只在遇险时使用中立旗帜， 如果在禁区发现中立船只， 将面临被摧毁的危险。
