Yohanes Napis says the Southeast Asian English Olympics might expand next year into the Asian English Olympics.
约翰尼斯·纳皮斯表示，明年东南亚英语奥林匹克竞赛可能会扩大为亚洲英语奥林匹克竞赛。

"Two months ago we already have participants from Bangladesh, but unfortunately we cannot accept them because this is actually the Southeast Asian English Olympics. 
两个月前就已经有来自孟加拉的选手要求参赛，但很遗憾我们不能接受他们，因为这实际上是东南亚英语奥林匹克竞赛。

We already have participants as well from China, who already asked if they are eligible to join this Olympics. 
还有来自中国的参与者想知道他们是否能够参赛。

But unfortunately we have to refuse them, and also from Bangladesh as well. 
但很遗憾我们不得不拒绝他们，以及那些孟加拉选手。

So I think we have a good chance to actually expand the scale into Asian for next year."
所以我觉得我们明年将比赛规模扩大到整个亚洲希望很大。
