what is the best translation for 离不开？

[Marco77]

Hello all,

what is the best translation for 离不开？

The sentence is 一届成功的奥运会离不开媒体的广参与和大力支持。

Also, when talking about the olympic games, what does 雅典mean?

Thank you all in advance，

Marco

Edit: 'Help needed' isn't a useful title. Changed it. Roddy

>> 一届成功的奥运会离不开媒体的广参与和大力支持

literally, "cannot be apart from". I'd translate as "needs" or "requires" here:

A successful Olympics requires the broad participation and energetic support of the media.

雅典 is Athens

I think here "离不开" can be translated as "can't do without", so the whole sentience can be translted as " a success Olimpic Games can't do without the help of meidas' participating and support.

Thanks!

I think it should be The participation and support of the media is essential for the achievement of a successful olympics. Or It is impossible to achieve a successful olympics without the participation and support of the media.
