请看《中国日报》的报道：

　　"Lhasa is now basically restored to order and the Tibet Autonomous Regional Government will ensure the stability there and the smooth operation of thetorch relay scaling the world's highest peak," said Jiang Xiaoyu, executive vice president of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (BOCOG) in a press conference Wednesday.

　　北京奥组委执行副主席蒋效愚在本周三的新闻发布会上说：“目前，拉萨已经基本恢复了正常秩序，西藏自治区政府会努力维护当地的稳定并确保跨过世界之巅的火炬传递活动顺利进行。”

　　Torch relay 就是“火炬接力、火炬传递”的意思，relay在体育比赛中指“接力”，比如relay race 就是“接力赛跑”;另外，relay还有“中转、转播”等意思。

例如：

　　Please relay the news to the villagers.

　　请把新闻转播给村民。

　　We receive telecasts from Beijing through relay stations.

　　我们通过中转站接收北京的电视节目。
