The Nobel committee said it "wishes to honor all survivors who, despite physical suffering and painful memories, have chosen to use their costly experience to cultivate hope and engagement for peace." 

诺贝尔委员会表示，“希望向所有幸存者致敬，尽管他们遭受了身体上的痛苦和痛苦的记忆，但他们选择利用他们代价高昂的经历来培养对和平的希望和参与。”

Hidankyo's Hiroshima branch chairperson, Tomoyuki Mimaki, who was waiting at the city hall for the announcement, cheered and became emotional when he received the news.

"Is it really true? Unbelievable!" Mimaki screamed. 

“这是真的吗？难以置信！” 美牧尖叫起来。 

The Nobel committee has honored efforts to ban nuclear weapons before. The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons won the peace prize in 2017, and in 1995 Joseph Rotblat and the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs won for their efforts to reduce and ban nuclear weapons. 

诺贝尔委员会此前曾表彰过禁止核武器的努力。国际废除核武器运动于 2017 年荣获和平奖，1995 年约瑟夫·罗特布拉特和帕格沃什科学与世界事务会议因其在减少和禁止核武器方面所做的努力而获奖。

This year's prize was awarded as war continues in Ukraine. 

今年的奖项是在乌克兰战争仍在继续的情况下颁发的。
