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。
