发布时间:2019-08-14  编辑:查字典英语网小编

The Summer Olympics will be held in London, England from Friday, July 27, 2017 through Sunday, August 12, 2017. We can't wait to see the world's best athletes perform amazing feats of strength and skill. In light of this global sporting event, we started thinking about sports that didn't make the cut anymore; sports that were maybe... a little odd. Read on to discover ten of the weirdest ones that have ever been included in past Olympic games.

2017年夏季奥运会将于7月27日(星期五)在英国伦敦开幕,一直持续到8月12号(星期日)结束。我们已经迫不及待地想要看到世界顶尖运动员们为我们带来精彩的力量与技巧的角逐。 随着这项全球运动盛事的到来,我们开始回想那些已经不复存在的比赛项目,那些有点….奇怪的项目。以下是我们总结的历史上有过的10大最奇怪的奥运比赛项目。

Live Pigeon Shooting (1900)

活鸽射击

This bloody event was only held once, at the 1900 Paris Games. Nearly 300 birds were killed during the release-and-shoot competition, leaving a grimy crime scene of feathers and blood in its wake. There's little wonder why they discontinued this event, and to date this is the only event in Olympic history that involved killing live animals.

这项血腥的项目仅在1900年巴黎奥运会上出现过一次。在那次的奥运会上,接近300只的鸽子被释放出笼,随即被比赛选手射杀而死,整个比赛场地肮脏不堪,就像是犯罪现场,到处是羽毛和鸽血。也难怪这个项目会被废止。这也是到现在为止唯一一项涉及杀害动物的奥运比赛项目。

Kabaddi (1936)

卡巴迪(印度体育传统)

This wrestling-meets-team sport is popular in South Asia. The object is for one member of a team to enter the opposing side's half of the field, and score points by tagging or wrestling the opponents. The attacker then returns to his half of the field.

这种摔跤团体比赛在南亚地区非常的流行。比赛中一方派出一名队员到对方半场进攻,并通过触碰对手或使其摔倒得分,袭击者随后返回己方半场。

12 Hour Bicycle Race (1896)

12小时自行车赛

They might have bitten off more than they could chew with this event. Seven riders got on their bikes at 5 a.m. and rode until 5 p.m. Four bikers dropped out before noon, but the winner, Adolf Schmal of Austria, managed about 180 miles. Only Schmal and one other competitor finished; Schmal won because he had lapped the other racers early on, so he was ahead by one lap.

对于这个项目,他们有点贪多嚼不烂了。7名选手早上5点骑上自行车,一直骑至下午5点。没到中午,就有4名选手中途退出了,但是来自澳大利亚的冠军阿多夫-施马尔骑了180英里。只有施马尔和另一名选手坚持到了最后。施马尔早些时候就已经超出其他选手一圈,所以他一直保持领先地位。

Tug Of War (1900 - 1920)

拔河(1900-1920)

This may seem like a basic gym class sport more than an Olympic event, but Tug of War was actually one of the first sports played at the Olympic games in 500 BC.

这看起来更像是体育课上做的基础运动而不是奥运比赛项目。但是事实上,早在公元前500年,拔河就已经是奥运会上的几个项目之一。

In the modern Olympic version of the game, there are two teams of eight; the winning team must pull the other team six feet forward in order to win. After 5 minutes, if no team had succeeded, the team which had pulled the furthest was declared the winner.

在现代奥运会的拔河赛上,一般有两支8人的比赛队伍。赢的队伍必须将对方前拉6尺才算赢得比赛。5分钟后,若还没有决出冠军,哪一方将对方前拉得远,就算胜出。

Rope Climbing (1896, 1904, 1906, 1924 and 1932)

爬绳 (1894 1904 1924 1932)

In this event the competitors climbed a suspended vertical rope, using only their hands.

比赛中,选手要徒手攀爬一根垂直悬挂的绳索。

Dueling Pistols (1906 and 1912)

手枪对决

You know those cop shows where the cops try to shoot moving people-shaped targets to practice their criminal hunting skills? This game is just like that. Despite the Wild West connotations, the participants didn't actually shoot each other; they fired on mannequins dressed in frock coats with bull's-eyes on their chests.

你看过警匪片中警察为练习抓罪犯技巧而试图射击移动人形目标吗?这个项目就有点类似。虽然有西部的感觉,但是选手实际上没有互相射击。他们开火的对象其实是穿礼服大衣、胸口处带靶心的模型。
