The English are passionate lovers of competitive sports; and when they are neither playing nor watching games they like to talk about them, or when they cannot do that, to think about them.
英国人是竞技运动的爱好者,他们就会谈论和思考它们。当他们不打球和不看比赛的时候.
The game peculiarly associated with England is cricket. Nearly every village in England, has its own cricket club. A first-class match lasts for up to five days, with six hours play on each day
英国特有的运动是板球。在英格兰,几乎每个村子都有自己的板球俱乐部.一场一流的比赛要持续长达5天的时间,每天要打上6个小时。
However, for the majority of the British public the eight months of the football season are more important than the four months of cricket. Professional football is always a big business. The Cup Final, which is played in May each year in London, is the greatest event of the season and one ofthe most famous football matches in the world.
不过,对于多数英国人来说,前后长达8个月的足球季节要比4个月的板球更加重要。职业足球是一个大的体育项目。每年5月在伦敦举行的足总杯是足球赛季的头等大事,也是全世界最闻名的足球赛事之一。
Rugby football is played with an egg-shaped ball. It can be a dangerous game as players wear no protective clothing. This form of sport got its name because it originated from the famous Rugby Public School.The sport is favoured by the middle class and it is also the game played at the great majority of public schools .
