英语小测验 源于“橄榄球“和”板球”运动的英语表达橄榄球源自英国，是一项传统的运动，在传入美国后部分规则发生了改变。源自苏格兰的七人制橄榄球（Rugby Sevens）在2016年里约奥运会上被列为正式比赛项目。板球运动也同样起源于英国，早在十八世纪就盛行全国，曾一度被视为“贵族和绅士的运动”。你对这两种英式传统运动的了解有多少？你能说出以下六道题的正确答案吗？做《英语小测验》，学习和体育运动相关的表达。 1. Both Rugby and cricket involve catching, holding and moving the ball with your hands. But what does the idiom ‘You dropped the ball’ mean? a) You made a mistake. b) You did well. c) You were lazy. d) You were clumsy. 2. The three sticks which are used in cricket as the bowler’s target are called ‘the stumps’. If the ball hits the stumps, then the batsman is out of the game. In every day English you might hear the phrase ‘I’m stumped’. But what does it mean? a) I’m still and motionless. b) I’m happy to stand and I don’t need to sit, thank you. c) I’m stuck or confused with a problem. d) I’m being targeted by people for something I have done wrong. 3. In rugby, a dummy pass is when a player pretends to pass the ball to a teammate, but then carries on running. This tricks the defence into marking the teammate and opens up an unopposed gap for the player with the ball to run into. If someone said they were doing a 'dummy run' of an event, what would they mean? |
