你最喜歡的球員是誰？足球和橄欖球有什么區(qū)別

B: you play for an amateur team, don’t you?

A: what’s the difference between football and rugby?

足球和橄欖球有什么區(qū)別？

B: those tow games are quite different. First, there’s the size of the teams. In football, a team has 11 players. In rugby there are 15 players on each team. The biggest difference is that in football, only the goalkeeper can use his hands. In rugby, the ball is usually carried forward by players, though kicking is permitted.

這兩種比賽大不相同。首先，球隊的規(guī)模。在足球比賽中，一支球隊有11名球員。在橄欖球比賽中，每支球隊有15名球員。最大的區(qū)別是，在足球中，只有守門員才能用手。在橄欖球賽中，球通常由球員攜帶，但允許踢球。

A: in rugby, players pass the ball by throwing it to team mates, don’t they?

在橄欖球比賽中，球員們把球傳給隊友，不是嗎？

B: that’s right. However, players can only pass the ball backwards. They cannot pass the ball forwards to their team mates. That’s a foul.

是的。但是，球員只能向后傳球。他們不能向前傳球給隊友。這是犯規(guī)。

A: I know how goals are scored in football, but how about in rugby?

我知道足球是如何進球的，但橄欖球呢？

B: if a team carries the ball over the goal line, they score points. A team can also score points by kicking the ball between two tall posts at each end of the pitch.

如果一支球隊帶球越過球門線，他們就會得分。一支球隊也可以通過在球場兩端的兩個高柱之間踢球來得分。

A: there’s a lot more physical contact in rugby, isn’t there?

橄欖球運動中有更多的身體接觸，不是嗎？

B: yes. Players usually need to bring a player down to stop him form moving forward with the ball. This is called”tackling”, as in football.

是的。球員通常需要將球員放倒，以阻止他帶球向前移動。這被稱為“攔截”，就像在足球中一樣。

A: the ball is a different shape in rugby, isn’t it?

橄欖球中的球是不同的形狀，不是嗎？

B: yes. It’s not perfectly round like a football. A rugby ball is oval in shape. There’s a match on TV this afternoon. Why don’t you watch it with me? I’ll try to explain the rules and tactics while we’re watching.

是的。它不像足球那么圓。橄欖球是橢圓形的。今天下午電視上有一場比賽。你為什么不和我一起看呢？我會在我們觀看的時候解釋一下規(guī)則和戰(zhàn)術(shù)。

A: ok.

好的。
