英譯漢(81-85)
81.The British are famous for inventions that have changed the world. The steam engine, the telephone, the television, the pneumatic tyre, and the Internet can all be stamped. “Made in Britain”. Yet how many sports can we claim to have invented? Well, in addition to inventing the modem Olympic Games, Britain also gave the world its most popular sports.
答案：英國人以創(chuàng)造了改變世界的眾多發(fā)明而著稱。蒸汽機、電話、電視、充氣輪胎和因特網(wǎng)，個個都掛著“英國創(chuàng)造”的標簽。然而，你知道從英國發(fā)源的體育項目有哪些嗎?答案是：英國除了是現(xiàn)代奧運會的創(chuàng)始國之外，也是諸多風靡全球的熱門運動的發(fā)源地。
82.The establishment of the FA led directly to the birth of another great British sport. Some of the players were dismayed by the new rules, which stated that the ball could no longer be carried, and that kicking and grabbing your opponent was not allowed.
答案：在英國，沒有溫布爾登網(wǎng)球賽的夏天可以說不算是夏天。作為世界上知名的大獎賽，溫網(wǎng)始創(chuàng)于1859年。今天，溫網(wǎng)的傳統(tǒng)幾乎絲毫未變，運動員必須全身穿白，場地依然是修剪整齊的草坪。不過，英國已經(jīng)許多年無緣冠軍，多少有些令人沮喪。
83.Summer is not summer in Britain without the Wimbledon Tennis Championships. The most prestigious of the Grand Slam events owes its reputation to the fact that the game was invented in Britain in 1859. The traditions of the game have changed little, still being played on manicured lawns and the players obliged to wear all white, although it has been a depressingly long time since Britain has produced a champion.
答案：在英國，沒有溫布爾登網(wǎng)球賽的夏天可以說不算是夏天。作為世界上知名的大獎賽，溫網(wǎng)始創(chuàng)于1859年。今天，溫網(wǎng)的傳統(tǒng)幾乎絲毫未變，運動員必須全身穿白，場地依然是修剪整齊的草坪。不過，英國已經(jīng)許多年無緣冠軍，多少有些令人沮喪。
84.These had been part of the game since 1823，when a schoolboy at Rugby School decided that his dribbling skills were not up to much, and picked the ball up and started running towards the opponent’s goal. After the FA changed the rules some of the teams thought that football was simply too girly, and in 1871 Rugby Football Union was established, and the sport of rugby was born.
答案：因為自從1823年起，足球的比賽規(guī)則一直是可以持球，也可以撞人。當時有個來自拉格比中學的男生，覺得自己的帶球技術欠佳，就把球撿起來朝著對方的球門跑去。足協(xié)修改了比賽規(guī)則之后，一些球隊認為足球太過溫柔，于是1871年橄欖球協(xié)會應運而生，從此，橄欖球運動走進了體育世界。
85.Another quintessentially British summer phenomenon is the sound of the crack of leather against willow. Invented in England in the 16th century, this game may be perplexing to foreigners, particularly as a single game can last three days, and offer the spectator little more than the sight of a group of men standing around in the field, and the opportunity of getting steadily drunker in the summer sunshine. It is all very gentlemanly, and at least a sport the British are actually quite good at.
答案：英國夏天的另一個傳統(tǒng)現(xiàn)象是不時傳來球皮與柳木板球棒碰撞的聲音，這就是板球。這項體育運動發(fā)源于16世紀的英格蘭。在外國人眼中，它是一個令人困惑的體育項目，尤其是一場比賽可以持續(xù)三天，觀眾所看到的不外乎是一群男人站在場地里，而他們自己則在夏日的陽光下不停地痛飲。板球是一種非常紳士的運動，至少英國在板球上一直保有優(yōu)勢。
