The Tonys

　　托尼奖

　　The Tony Awards are presented by the American Theater Wing, a performing arts advocacy group, and The Broadway League, a trade association for the theater industry, to celebrate exceptional talents in the world of theater.

　　托尼奖由表演艺术倡导组织美国剧院区和剧院行业贸易协会百老汇联盟颁发，以表彰剧院界的杰出人才。

　　Started in 1947, the award’s official name is the Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Broadway Theatre.

　　该奖项始于1947年，正式名称是百老汇剧院卓越安托瓦内特·佩里奖。

　　The award itself is a medallion, embossed on one side with the traditional comedy/tragedy masks, and marked on the opposing side with the recipient’s name, award category, production, and award year.

　　该奖项本身就是一枚纪念章，在其一侧刻有传统的喜剧/悲剧面具，并在反面标有获奖者的姓名，奖项类别，制作和获奖年份。

　　Originally, the reverse side depicted the image of the award’s namesake, Antoinette Perry, co-founder of the American Theater Wing, whose nickname was Tony.

　　最初，背面描绘了该奖项的同名人物，美国剧院翼楼的联合创始人安托瓦内特·佩里，绰号是托尼。
