The message to audiences (and corporate sponsors) is clear: in a fractious,divided world, nothing unites people like sport. The idea is inspiring-but, to a surprising extent,untrue. Though the quadrennial Olympics and the men' s football World Cup both have audiences that span the planet,most of the world' s most valuable sporting properties have stubbornly resisted globalisation.America' s National Football League (NFL), the biggest of the lot, makes 98% of its media-rights revenue at home.India' s cricket Premier League,whose media rights are worth more than those of the Olympics on an annualised basis, makes 96% of its money inside its host country.In European football, only England' s Premier League makes more money abroad than at home. But now, at last, globalisation is limbering up.Technology is transforming how sport is broadcast and how fans enjoy it, giving leagues of all kinds a shot at going global. This represents a big opportunity for businesses-billions of dollars await those that conquer foreign markets-and an even bigger one for audiences, as spectacles that already delight fans in one country start to thrill those in others. An influx of foreign sports will cause some to boo and hiss. Leagues and media companies should take no notice, and shoot at an open goal. Sport' s failure as an export-and the scale of its potential-is best illustrated by a comparison with other entertainment industries. Since around the turn of the century,Hollywood has earned more than half of its box-office income abroad.American musical artists rely on foreign listeners for nearly a third of their streams and a big chunk of their concert-ticket sales (as Taylor Swift,who is touring Europe, can attest). In video games, meanwhile,Japanese consoles and Chinese apps have players hooked worldwide. Two shifts are helping sport go global. The first is a supply-side revolution, as sports broadcasting belatedly moves from national broadcast and cable-television channels to global streaming platforms. Netflx,which got its worldwide audience glued to South Korean horror and French comedy, is now doing the same with sport. Its “Drive to Survive" documentary series introduced Americans to Formula 1 (imagine NASCAR with right turns). In December it will give many of its 270m subscribers their first taste of the NFL (think rugby with shoulder pads). Apple last year began streaming Major League Soccer (MLS) to more than 100countries. As distribution goes global, fans will have the chance to watch new sports. The second revolution is on the demand side.The biggest obstacle to a sport' s foreign adoption is that,unlike other forms of entertainment,audiences want to watch their home team,rather than the best one. But fans' attachment to teams is slowly giving way to their devotion to individual athletes.Social media let the best players cultivate global personal followings,drawing in fans with no connection to their team, or even their sport. Star players have drawn worldwide fans to England' s Premier League. Lionel Messi has brought new audiences to MLS not only because of his six Golden Boot awards, but also his half a billion Instagram followers.Women' s basketball is booming thanks to Caitlin Clark,a player whose record-breaking performance has drawn fans who had never watched the game,let alone attended the University of lowa,where she started. It helps that young fans,whose preferred medium is short-form video, are more likely than older ones to watch highlights and summary shows of the action across a league,rather than a single match featuring their favourite team.Sports betting,recently legalised in much of America and growing rapidly, is further encouraging league-wide consumption instead of a focus on a single teamn.As fandom becomes more promiscuous and less tribal,it is being decoupled from geography. Who stands to win at this new game? Among media companies, the best-placed are those with the widest distribution.Leagues want reach above all, and are willing to accept less lucrative deals with streaming services that can put their games in front of audiences everywhere.Netflix,Amazon and the other global platforms have an advantage over incumbents (though Netflix' s recent comment that its NFL matches each cost the equivalent of a new movie was enough to make unsporty cinephiles weep). Among sports organisations, the biggest leagues will benefit most from wider distribution, just as music streaming has funnelled listeners to megastars like Ms Swift.But streaming also fosters healthy “long tails” of niche content. Women' s sport,long neglected, makes up nearly half of ESPN' s streaming output. The sports most at risk are between the hits and the niches; an anaemic media-rights deal agreed on recently by France' s football Ligue 1 shows how competition squeezes average leagues. There are signs fans are cooling on the Olympics,with its emphasis on countries over famous individuals-some of whom,like Mr Messi,choose to skip it. As they globalise, sports will face a complaint once directed at other entertainment industries: that unworthy foreign content is pushing out treasured local favourites.A century ago politicians worried that radio broadcasts were tempting listeners to tune into big-city bands rather than local troupes. More recently, European politicians have complained that American television is distracting viewers from local programming. Expect to hear more of the same as fans root for faraway sporting celebrities rather than local stars-and prepare to ignore it. It is for fans to choose what sports to follow, just as they pick what music to listen to or which films to see. In sport, of all things, competition is what counts.Sporting organisations worried about losing fans in this new global game should heed the Olympic motto: time to get faster,higher,stronger. 【译文欣赏】 7月26日，来自200多个国家的运动员将在塞纳河上航行，作为巴黎奥运会开幕式的一部分。从穿着刺绣长袍的蒙古队到穿着Lululemon轰炸机夹克的加拿大队，这个队伍旨在象征石人类各个角落的聚集。向观众（和企业赞助商）传达的信息很明确：在一个分裂的世界中，没有什么比体育更能团结人们了。 这个想法很鼓舞人心，但令人惊讶的是，它是不真实的。尽管四年一度的奥运会和男子足球世界杯都有遍布全球的观众，但世界上大多数最有价值的体育赛事都顽固地抵制全球化。美国国家橄榄球联盟（NFL）是最大的联盟之一，其98％的媒体版权收入来自国内。印度板球超级联赛的媒体版权价值超过奥运会，其96％的收入来自其主办国。在欧洲足球中，只有英格兰的英超联赛在国外比在国内赚更多的钱。 但现在，全球化终于开始升温了。技术正在改变体育的广播方式和球迷的享受方式，为各种联盟提供了走向全球的机会。这对企业来说是一个巨大的机会-数十亿美元等待着那些征服外国市场的企业-对观众来说更是如此，因为已经让一个国家的球迷感到高兴的场面开始让其他国家的球迷感到兴奋。外国体育的涌入将导致一些人发出嘘声和嘘声。联盟和媒体公司应该毫不在意，向一个开放的目标射击。 体育作为出口的失败-及其潜力的规模-最好通过与其他娱乐产业的比较来说明。自世纪之交以来，好莱坞一半以上的票房收入来自海外。美国音乐艺术家近三分之一的流媒体和大部分音乐会门票销售依赖外国听众（正如正在欧洲巡演的泰勒·斯威夫特所证明的那样）。与此同时，在视频游戏方面，日本游戏机和中国应用程序吸引了全球玩家。 两个转变正在帮助体育走向全球。第一个是供给侧革命，因为体育广播迟迟没有从国家广播和有线电视频道转移到全球流媒体平台。Netflix让全球观众沉迷于韩国恐怖片和法国喜剧，现在也在体育领域做同样的事情。它的“生存之路”纪录片系列向美国人介绍了一级方程式赛车（想象一下右转的NASCAR）。12月，它将让许多270m订户第一次尝到NFL（想想带垫肩的橄榄球）。苹果去年开始向100多个国家播放美国职业足球大联盟（MLS）。随着发行走向全球，球迷将有机会观看新的运动。 第二次革命是在需求方面。一项运动被国外采用的最大障碍是，与其他形式的娱乐不同，观众希望观看他们的主队，而不是最好的球队。但球迷对球队的依恋正在慢慢让位于他们对个人运动员的热爱。社交媒体让最好的球员培养全球个人追随者，吸引了与他们的球队甚至他们的运动没有任何联系的球迷。明星球员吸引了全球球迷来到英格兰的英超联赛。利昂内尔·梅西为美国职业足球大联盟带来了新的观众，不仅因为他获得了六项金靴奖，还因为他的五亿Instagram粉丝。女子篮球正在蓬勃发展，这要归功于凯特琳·克拉克，这位球员创纪录的表现吸引了从未看过比赛的球迷，更不用说她开始的爱荷华大学了。 年轻球迷的首选媒介是短视频，他们比年长的球迷更有可能观看整个联盟的精彩集锦和摘要节目，而不是一场展示他们最喜欢的球队的比赛。体育博彩最近在美国大部分地区合法化并迅速增长，进一步鼓励了全联盟的消费，而不是专注于单一球队。随着球迷群体变得更加混杂和不那么部落化，它正在与地理位置脱钩。 谁将在这场新游戏中获胜？在媒体公司中，排名最高的是那些发行范围最广的公司。联盟首先希望覆盖范围，并愿意接受与流媒体服务的利润较低的交易，这些服务可以将他们的游戏放在世界各地的观众面前。Netflix、亚马逊和其他全球平台比现有平台具有优势（尽管Netflix最近评论说，其NFL比赛的每场费用相当于一部新电影，这足以让不喜欢运动的电影爱好者哭泣）。 在体育组织中，最大的联盟将从更广泛的分发中受益最大，就像音乐流媒体将听众引导到像斯威夫特女士这样的巨星一样。但流媒体也培养了健康的“长尾”利基内容。长期被忽视的女子运动占ESPN流媒体输出的近一半。风险最大的运动是热门和利基之间的运动；法国足球Ligue 1最近达成的一项无力的媒体权利协议显示了竞争如何挤压普通联盟。有迹象表明，球迷对奥运会的兴趣正在降温，因为它强调国家而不是名人-其中一些人，如梅西先生，选择跳过它。 随着体育运动的全球化，它们将面临一个曾经针对其他娱乐业的抱怨：不值得的互通内容正在淘汰当地珍爱的节目。一个世纪前，政治家们担心广播节目会诱使听众收听大城市的乐队，而不是当地的剧团。最近，欧洲政治家抱怨美国电视正在分散观众对当地节目的注意力。 期待听到更多相同的声音，因为粉丝们支持遥远的体育名人而不是本地明星，并准备忽略它。粉丝们可以选择关注哪些运动，就像他们选择听什么音乐或看哪些电影一样。在体育运动中，竞争是最重要的。担心在这个新的全球运动中失去粉丝的体育组织应该遵循奥林匹克座右铭：是时候变得更快、更高、更强了。 【词汇积累】 1.brawny adj.强壮的 2.embroidered adj.绣花的；刺绣的 3.kaftans n.（中东等地的）长袖长袍 4.bomber-jacket n.飞行员夹克 5.cricket n.板球 6.limber up（比赛或剧烈运动前）做准备活动；热身 7.influx n.（人）大量涌入 8.boo and hiss 嘘声和嘲笑 9.box-office n.票房 10.attest v.证明；证实 11.belatedly adv.延迟地；迟到地 12.rugby n.橄榄球 13.cultivate v.培养；陶冶 14.let alone 更不用说 15.fandom n.粉丝圈；粉丝文化 16.promiscuous adj.混杂的 17.lucrative adj.获利多的；赚钱的 18.incumbent n.在职者；现任者 19.anaemic adj.无活力的 20.troupe n.剧团 Passage 2 中国在混合气步枪射击项目中夺得巴黎奥运会首枚金牌 【材料来源：The Guardian July 27, 2024】 China bag first gold medal of Paris Olympics in mixed air rifle shooting The biggest threat to anybody’s medal hopes in shooting disciplines is not the exceptional talent of the Chinese. It is, instead, perspiration.China’s glory in the 10m mixed air rifle team event was as straightforward as one could anticipate for the world champions and pre-competition favourites, Huang Yuting and Sheng Lihao. Here was the rarest of things; a Chinese Olympic success apparently free from the whiff of controversy. At 11.22am on Saturday, the first gold medal of the Games was sealed. One down, 328 to go. South Korea’s Keum Ji-hyeon and Park Ha-jun were nudged into the silver medal position despite a late rally.Sheng kisses his rifle before he shoots. Huang appears in some kind of trance before pulling the trigger. Handily, the pair are completely unmoved by external factors. There are rather a few of them here on the outskirts of Châteauroux. This military base feels so far removed from the Champs-Élysées and Parisian stadiums. Which it is; the Eiffel Tower sits 250km away from where Huang delivered the crucial shot. The diaspora of the shooters. It felt bizarre the event organisers determined gold would first be awarded in this distant annex. A brass band played outside, the French sports minister took in the competition but there was precious little sense of occasion. The venue itself is steamy, muggy, uncomfortable. While that can be handled by spectators, it is tricky for athletes who have to compete in ludicrous leather suits. No wonder so many of them walk uneasily. Perhaps this explains the muted celebrations of the Chinese team; cold shower beats gold medal. “It is definitely a thing,” said Team GB’s Seonaid McIntosh. “This sounds kind of gross but once you are soaking, you don’t really feel it anymore. But it is hard when you have sweat running down your face. “It is not completely normal for it to be this warm but it is also not outwith the bounds of possibility. It has happened before. It is hard when it is this hot. You have a headband on, take that off because it is too hot then you have sweat dripping into your eyes so you can’t see.” With a rifle in your hand, this feels problematic. McIntosh and Mike Bargeron had failed to progress to the gold or bronze medal matches but there was no sense of excuse-making after finishing 26th out of 28 teams. Both were upbeat. “The 10m mixed was always going to be a warm-up for us,” said Bargeron. “It is not a speciality for either of us. We planned it out weeks ago. So it was nice to get the nerves out, feel the crowd, feel the atmosphere and the heat as well. It was really great.” Germany earned their bronze medal meeting with Kazakhstan by one-tenth of a millimetre. Talk about tiny margins. With 16 points the target for victory, the Kazakhstan team of Alexandra Le and Islam Satpayev enjoyed a fast start but were hauled back by Germany’s Anna Janssen and Maximilian Ulbrich. With Le in particular excelling, Kazakhstan established another lead, this time 11-5. At 10.45am, Satpayev saw Kazakhstan across the line 17-5, for the first medal of the Games. It is their first in shooting since 1996. In the big one, China raced into a 6-2 lead after four rounds. Sheng’s accuracy was exceptional. Two Chinese shots, each earning 10.6 values – the highest possible is 10.9 – in the ninth round was key. At this point, China were ahead 12-6. They needed 14 rounds to secure gold, 16-12. South Korea had threatened an upset by recovering valiantly from 14-8 to 14-12 behind. “This medal is the culmination of a lot of practise,” said Haung, who is still only 17. “It also means a new start.” Bargeron labelled Chinese ability in this sphere as “insane.” They also have shooting stars who can handle the distinct heat of French battle. 【译文欣赏】 中国在混合气步枪射击项目中夺得巴黎奥运会首枚金牌 在射击项目中，对任何人奖牌希望的最大威胁并不是中国选手的非凡天赋，而是汗水。世界冠军和赛前热门黄雨婷和盛李豪在10米混合气步枪团体赛中的胜利如预期般顺利。这是极少见的，没有任何争议的中国奥运会成功案例。 周六上午11点22分，奥运会的首枚金牌被确定。已完确定金牌，还剩328个。尽管韩国的金智贤和朴夏俊在最后时刻奋力追赶，仍被挤到银牌位置。盛在射击前亲吻他的步枪。黄在扣动扳机前似乎进入了一种恍惚状态。幸运的是，这对组合完全不受外界因素的影响。 在这里的Châteauroux郊区，有很多外部因素。这个军事基地感觉离香榭丽舍大街和巴黎的体育场非常遥远。而事实也是如此；埃菲尔铁塔距离黄射出关键一枪的地方有250公里。射击手的流散地。赛事组织者决定在这个偏远的附属场地首先颁发金牌，这让人感到很奇怪。外面有一支铜管乐队演奏，法国体育部长也来观看比赛，但现场几乎没有庆祝的氛围。 场馆本身闷热、不舒适。观众可以应对这种环境，但对于穿着笨重皮衣比赛的运动员来说很困难。难怪这么多运动员步态不稳。也许这解释了中国队低调的庆祝；冷水澡胜过金牌。 “这确实是个问题，”英国队的塞奥娜·麦金托什说。“这听起来有点恶心，但一旦你湿透了，就不会再感觉到了。但当汗水顺着脸流下来时就很难受。 “这天气并不完全正常，但也不是不可能。这种情况以前也发生过。当天气这么热的时候很难受。你戴着头带，太热了就摘掉，但汗水又滴进眼睛里，所以你看不清楚。”手里拿着步枪，这感觉问题很大。 麦金托什和迈克·巴格伦未能进入金牌或铜牌争夺战，但在28支队伍中排名第26也没有让他们找借口。两人都很乐观。“10米混合赛对我们来说一直是热身赛，”巴格伦说。“这不是我们的专长。我们几周前就计划好了。所以能缓解紧张，感受观众、气氛和热度真的很好。” 德国以0.1毫米的微弱优势赢得了与哈萨克斯坦的铜牌争夺战。胜利的目标是16分，亚历山德拉·勒和伊斯兰·萨特帕耶夫组成的哈萨克斯坦队开局迅速，但被德国的安娜·扬森和马克西米利安·乌尔布里希追赶上。特别是勒表现出色，哈萨克斯坦再次确立领先，11-5。上午10点45分，萨特帕耶夫帮助哈萨克斯坦以17-5赢得比赛，获得本届奥运会首枚奖牌。这是他们自1996年以来首次在射击项目中获奖。 在决赛中，中国队在四轮后以6-2领先。盛李豪的准确度异常出色。在第九轮，两名中国选手分别射出10.6环的成绩——最高可能成绩为10.9环。此时，中国队以12-6领先。他们用了14轮锁定金牌，以16-12获胜。韩国队曾在落后14-8的情况下顽强追赶到14-12，几乎爆冷。 “这枚奖牌是大量练习的结晶，”仍只有17岁的黄雨婷说。“这也意味着一个新的开始。” 巴格伦称中国在这个领域的能力为“疯狂”。他们还拥有能应对法国酷热战斗的射击明星。 Passage 3 全红婵卫冕奥运冠军，外媒如何描写“水花消失术”？ 【材料来源：NBC Olympics August 6th, 2024】 Perfect start leads to Olympic gold for China's Quan Hongchan in women's platform diving finals The saying goes, "it's not how you start, it's how you finish." But when you start a diving competition with perfect 10s from all seven judges on your first jump, a lead like that is hard for any competitor to catch. China's Quan Hongchan made a massive statement with no splash on her first dive of Tuesday's women's 10m platform diving finals. The perfect forward 3 1/2 received a score for 90.0 points after accounting for degree of difficulty. From there, it seemed that Quan's only competition was her own teammate, Chen Yuxi. The two tussled for gold and silver as the rest of the competitors battled for bronze. Chen stayed within gold-medal distance of her teammate, but a final dive score of 92.4 gave Quan the gold by 4.9 points. Tuesday’s biggest drama came in the rivalry between Quan and Chen, who won gold together in the synchronized platform finals in Paris last week. Quan, just 17 years old, came to Paris as the defending Olympic gold medalist. In those Games, as a 14-year-old, she bested Chen, who finished second as a 15-year-old. Ever since, the two have gone back-and-forth for world championship gold. Chen won in 2022 and 2023, and Quan was back on top earlier this year. Chen's first dive on Tuesday in Paris scored a not-so-minuscule 82.50. The slight imperfections by Quan showed in her second and third dives. Chen's third jump — an armstand with three somersaults — scored 89.10, and she was just 1.6 points out of first with two dives remaining. As the rest of the field tried to score higher than the 70s, Quan and Chen battled each other for who could get over than 90-point bar. Chen's fourth dive, a back 3 ½ somersaults, came oh-so-close, scoring 89.10. Quan responded with her own back 3 1/2, splashing less on her entry than her perfect first dive. She was rewarded with a 92.40 and went into the final dive with a five-point lead over her teammate. On the final dive, Chen performed a back 2 ½ with 1 ½ twists, and scored 81.60, meaning Quan needed just 76 points for the win. She did five points better. Doing the same dive, Quan received the same score as her teammate, and finished with a gold medal win by 4.9 points. North Korea’s Kim Mi Rae won the battle for bronze with a final score of 372.10, 7.6 points better than fourth place finisher Caeli McKay, of Canada. It’s Kim’s second medal of these Olympics. She also won silver in the synchro platform. China’s divers led throughout all three rounds of the platform competition. Tuesday’s competitors were the top 12 after Monday's semifinals. Quan has made a huge splash on the diving world with her ability to enter the water from height with seemingly no splash at all. Coaches and fans were so in awe of her ability that they couldn’t describe it with words, so they created a new one. The Mandarin Chinese phrase is pronounced “shui hua xiao shi shu,” and translates to "water splash disappearance technique.” She may enter the water with minimal splash, but at 17, Quan's ripple effect on the diving world is making waves. Tuesday was just the fifth time a woman has won back-to-back gold medals in the platform event. The teenager now leaves Paris a three-time Olympic gold medalist. With the win, China is now 5-for-5 with golds in every Paris diving event. With three events remaining, they remain in play to be the first country to ever sweep all eight events at a single Olympics. 【译文欣赏】 全红婵完美开局为中国赢得女子跳台跳水决赛的奥运金牌 俗话说，“关键不在于你如何开始，而在于你如何结束。”但是，当你在跳水比赛中以首跳获得七位裁判满分10分的成绩开局时，这样的领先优势是任何竞争对手都难以追赶的。 中国的全红婵在周二的女子10米跳台跳水决赛中，以零水花的完美入水表现作出了一个强有力的开场。这个完美的前翻腾三周半动作因其难度系数得到了90.0分。 从那时起，似乎全红婵唯一的竞争对手就是她的队友陈芋汐。两人争夺金银牌，而其他选手则在争夺铜牌。 陈芋汐始终保持在金牌争夺范围内，但最终一跳的92.4分让全红婵以4.9分的优势赢得了金牌。 周二最大的戏剧性来自于全红婵和陈芋汐之间的对决，她们上周在巴黎的同步跳台决赛中一起赢得了金牌。 全红婵仅17岁，作为卫冕奥运金牌得主来到巴黎。在那届奥运会上，年仅14岁的全红婵战胜了15岁的陈芋汐夺得金牌。自那以来，两人一直在世界锦标赛上轮流争夺金牌。陈芋汐在2022年和2023年夺冠，而全红婵则在今年年初重回巅峰。 周二陈芋汐在巴黎的第一跳得到了不算低的82.50分。 全红婵在第二跳和第三跳中表现出了一些轻微的不完美。陈芋汐的第三跳是臂立向后翻腾3周抱膝，得分89.10，此时剩余两跳，她和第一名的差距仅有1.6分。 在其余选手努力超过70分大关时，全红婵和陈芋汐则在互相竞争，看看谁能超过90分的门槛。陈芋汐的第四跳，一个背向翻腾三周半的动作，得到了89.10分。全红婵则以更少的水花入水，完成了同样的背向翻腾三周半动作，获得了92.40分的高分，以五分的领先优势进入最后一跳。 在最后一跳中，陈芋汐完成了一个背向翻腾两周半并带有一周半转体的动作，得到了81.60分，这意味着全红婵只需76分即可夺冠。 她比所需分数高出五分。全红婵同样完成了这个动作，并获得了与陈芋汐相同的分数，最终以4.9分的优势赢得了金牌。 朝鲜的金美莱以总分372.10赢得了铜牌，领先于加拿大选手凯莉·麦凯7.6分。这是金美莱在本届奥运会上获得的第二枚奖牌。她还在同步跳台比赛中获得了银牌。 中国跳水选手在整个跳台比赛的三轮中始终处于领先地位。周二的选手们是周一半决赛后的前12名。 全红婵以其从高处几乎不溅起水花的入水能力在跳水界引起了轰动。教练和粉丝们对她的能力惊叹不已，甚至无法用语言来形容，于是他们创造了一个新词。这句中文短语发音为“水花消失术”，意思是“水花消失技术”。 虽然她的入水几乎没有水花，但年仅17岁的全红婵在跳水界的影响力却引起了巨大的波动。周二，她成为历史上第五位在跳台项目中连续获得奥运金牌的女性。这位少年现在已经成为了三枚奥运金牌得主。 随着这次胜利，中国在巴黎跳水项目中已经取得了5个金牌。在剩下的三项比赛中，他们仍然有可能成为第一个在单届奥运会上横扫全部八个跳水项目的国家。 【词汇积累】 1. tussle 扭打；争斗 2. rivalry 竞争；对抗 3. minuscule 极小的 4. imperfection 缺陷；瑕疵 5. synchronized 同步的；协调一致的 Passage 4 中国游泳选手潘展乐打破100米自由泳世界纪录 【材料来源：Reuters】 China's state media, netizens rally around Pan after claims 100m swim not 'humanly possible' China's state media, athletes and netizens rallied to support Olympic swimming champion Pan Zhanle after critics including an Australian swim commentator said his world record swim in the 100 metres freestyle was not "humanly possible". Pan smashed his own 100 metres freestyle world record, shaving 0.40 seconds off the previous mark he set at the World Championships in Doha in February, to humble rivals including Australia's Kyle Chalmers and Romania's David Popovici. The 19-year old Pan finished in 46.60 seconds to take China's first swimming gold medal at the Paris Olympic Games. His win came after he "completed rigorous doping test programs prior to and during the games with zero positive results," the China Daily said on Friday. Pan said he took 21 doping tests from May to July prior to the games. "I cooperated with all the testing procedures and stayed confident that I am competing fair and clean," he told the newspaper. "I did a lot of aerobics and endurance training to strengthen my push and kick in the final split. We have also adopted a scientific underwater monitoring and analysing system to review our techniques and strokes, so that we can train better and more effectively." Australian coach and commentator Brett Hawke posted on his Instagram that "It's not humanly possible to beat that field" and that the swim was "not real life. Not in that pool, against that field." Hawke's comments were widely shared on China's Weibo platform with one user commenting: "It's so cool to see them incompetent, angry and breaking their defences." "He is praising us, saying that position is impossible but sorry we did it," said another. The Chinese swim team has been under intense scrutiny since revelations in April that 23 of the country's swimmers tested positive for a banned heart medication in 2021 but were allowed to compete at the Tokyo Olympics. 【译文欣赏】 中国国家媒体、运动员和网民齐声支持奥运游泳冠军潘展乐，此前包括一名澳大利亚游泳评论员在内的批评者声称，他在100米自由泳项目上的世界纪录并非“人类所能完成”。 潘展乐打破了他自己在今年2月多哈世界锦标赛上创下的100米自由泳世界纪录，将纪录缩短了0.40秒，击败了包括澳大利亚的凯尔·查默斯和罗马尼亚的大卫·波波维奇在内的对手。 这位19岁的潘展乐以46.60秒的成绩完成比赛，为中国赢得了巴黎奥运会上的首枚游泳金牌。中国日报在周五报道中表示，他的胜利是在“完成了严格的赛前和赛中兴奋剂检测计划且所有结果均为阴性”之后取得的。 潘展乐表示，在比赛前的5月至7月期间，他接受了21次兴奋剂检测。“我配合了所有检测程序，并始终自信自己在公平清白地比赛，”他对该报表示。 “我进行了大量有氧和耐力训练，以加强我在最后分段的推进和踢腿动作。我们还采用了科学的水下监测和分析系统来回顾我们的技术和动作，以便我们能够更好、更有效地训练。” 澳大利亚教练兼评论员布雷特·霍克在他的Instagram上发帖称：“在那个领域击败那群人是不可能的”，并表示这场比赛“不是现实生活中发生的。不是在那个泳池里，与那个选手阵容竞争。” 霍克的评论在中国的微博平台上被广泛分享，一位用户评论道：“看到他们无能为力、愤怒并崩溃的样子，真是太酷了。” 另一位用户则表示：“他其实是在称赞我们，说那个位置不可能达到，但对不起，我们做到了。” 自今年4月曝光23名中国游泳运动员在2021年检测出禁用的心脏药物呈阳性，但仍被允许参加东京奥运会以来，中国游泳队一直面临着严密的审查。 【词汇积累】 1.rally v.一致支持；团结起来 2.humble v.轻易击败强大的对手 Passage 5 郑钦文成为首位赢得奥运会网球单打金牌的中国选手 【材料来源：The Guardian July 27, 2024】 Zheng Qinwen rewards raucous Chinese support to grab gold in tense tennis final First Chinese Olympic tennis champion since 2004 ‘I feel like I had special energy and lots of support’ Zheng Qinwen became the first Chinese player to win an Olympic ­tennis singles gold medal when she held off Croatia’s Donna Vekic for a 6-2, 6-3 win in a tense final on Saturday. The 21-year-old sixth seed was given raucous support by a sizeable Chinese contingent inside Roland Garros’s Court Philippe-Chatrier and responded with a composed performance. Vekic, herself bidding to become Croatia’s first Olympic singles champion, battled hard to try to turn the match around but failed to capitalise on her opportunities. Zheng was not at her sparkling best in the final but raised her game when required to land the biggest prize of her career. Serving for the match at 5-3, Zheng reached match points as Vekic drove a backhand wide and finished it off with a well-placed forehand winner before falling on her back on the clay court with joy. China’s only other gold medal in Olympic tennis came in 2004 when Li Ting and Sun Tiantian won the women’s doubles in Athens while the best previous singles performance was Li Na’s run to the semi-finals in 2008, although she missed out on a medal. Zheng, runner-up at the Australian Open this year, now looks capable of scaling the same heights as Li who claimed two grand slam titles during her illustrious career. “Nothing can describe my feelings right now,” Zheng told Eurosport on court before the medals ceremony. “It’s unreal, I was hoping to get a medal for China and I made it, I got the gold. I did everything I could.” Her victory completed a memorable week for China on the Parisian clay after Wang Xinyu and Zhang Zhizhen won the silver medal in the mixed doubles the previous evening. Zheng, who men’s finalist Novak Djokovic describes as his favourite female player, began the week in devastating fashion, beating former French Open runner-up Sara Errani 7-6, 6-0. She had to dig deep in long, three-set epics against Emma Navarro and Germany’s Angelique Kerber before stunning hot favourite Iga Swiatek to give herself a shot at gold. The vastly experienced Vekic presented a formidable obstacle in the final but Zheng started the contest quickly to lead 3-0 and managed to stay in control by coming through some edgy games. “I fought every single match, I feel like I had special energy and lots of support. My country will be proud and my family who I know will be screaming at home by the TV,” Zheng said. Poland’s Swiatek finished with the bronze medal after beating Slovakia’s Anna Karolina Schmiedlova 6-2, 6-1 . Earlier, Matthew Ebden and John Peers won Australia’s second tennis gold medal in Olympic history when beating Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram, of the United States, 6-7 (6), 7-6 (1), 10-8 in a tight battle in the men’s doubles final. 【译文欣赏】 郑钦文在紧张的网球决赛中抓住机会夺得金牌，回报了热情的中国球迷支持 自2004年以来首位获得奥运网球冠军的中国选手 “我感觉自己拥有特别的能量和大量的支持” 郑钦文成为首位赢得奥运会网球单打金牌的中国选手，她在周六的紧张决赛中以6-2、6-3击败了克罗地亚的唐娜·维基奇。 这位21岁的六号种子在罗兰·加洛斯的菲利普·夏蒂埃球场内得到了大量中国观众的热情支持，并以冷静的表现回报了他们的期望。 维基奇本希望成为克罗地亚首位奥运会单打冠军，她在比赛中努力拼搏，试图扭转局面，但未能把握住机会。 尽管郑钦文在决赛中并未展现出她最出色的状态，但她在需要时提升了自己的水平，赢得了职业生涯中最重要的奖项。 在5-3的比分下为比赛发球时，维基奇一个反手失误将球打偏，郑钦文因此拿到了赛点，并以一个精准的正手制胜球结束了比赛，然后她满怀喜悦地倒在了红土场上。 中国此前唯一的奥运网球金牌是在2004年获得的，当时李婷和孙甜甜在雅典赢得了女子双打冠军，而此前中国网球单打的最佳成绩是李娜在2008年闯入半决赛，尽管她最终无缘奖牌。 今年澳网亚军郑钦文现在看起来有能力达到李娜的高度，后者在她辉煌的职业生涯中赢得了两次大满贯冠军。 “现在没有什么能形容我的感受，”郑钦文在颁奖仪式前对Eurosport表示。“这太不真实了，我希望为中国赢得一枚奖牌，现在我做到了，我拿到了金牌。我尽我所能。” 她的胜利为中国队在巴黎红土场上的难忘一周画上了圆满的句号，前一晚王欣瑜和张之臻在混双比赛中赢得了银牌。 被男子单打决赛选手诺瓦克·德约科维奇称为他最喜欢的女球员的郑钦文，以毁灭性的方式开始了这一周的比赛，她以7-6、6-0击败了前法网亚军萨拉·埃拉尼。在与艾玛·纳瓦罗和德国的安吉利克·科贝尔的长达三盘的史诗般的较量中，郑钦文展现了强大的意志力，并最终震惊了大热门伊加·斯瓦泰克，给自己赢得金牌的机会。 经验丰富的维基奇在决赛中构成了强大的障碍，但郑钦文迅速进入比赛状态，以3-0领先，并通过几场紧张的比赛保持了控制权。 “我为每一场比赛而战，我感觉自己拥有特别的能量和大量的支持。我的国家会为我感到骄傲，我知道我的家人会在电视机前欢呼，”郑钦文说。 波兰的斯瓦泰克在击败斯洛伐克的安娜·卡罗琳娜·施米德洛娃后获得铜牌，比分为6-2、6-1。 稍早些时候，马修·埃布登和约翰·皮尔斯在男子双打决赛中以6-7 (6)、7-6 (1)、10-8击败美国的奥斯汀·克拉吉塞克和拉杰夫·拉姆，为澳大利亚赢得了历史上第二枚奥运网球金牌。 【词汇积累】 raucous adj.刺耳的；尖厉的 hold off 在比赛或竞赛中抵挡住对手的挑战 Passage 6 巴黎奥运会小知识 12 fascinating facts about the Paris 2024 Olympics Today we’re diving into 12 fascinating facts about the Paris 2024 Olympics. Let’s get started. The Olympic Games Paris 2024 will officially be held from July 26 until August 11, 2024. The Paralympic Games will follow from August 28 until September 8. Did you know that some Olympic competitions will start even before the grand opening ceremony. Football and rugby matches kick off on July 24, two days before the official start. Paris 2024 is special because it marks exactly 100 years since Paris last hosted the Olympics in 1924. It’s a centennial celebration. There will be 32 sports played during the Paris 2024 Olympic games featuring a total of 329 medal events. Aquatics will have the most medals up for grabs, with 49 events in swimming, marathon swimming, diving, water polo, and artistic swimming. Athletics is close behind with 48 events. Paris 2024 will introduce a new sport to the Olympics: breaking, also known as break dancing. The competition will include two events one for men and one for women featuring 16 b-boys and 16 b-girls battling it out. For the first time in Olympic history, men will be competing in artistic swimming. It’s a ground-breaking change for the sport. There’s a thrilling new event in canoeing: extreme slalom. Four athletes will tip off a ramp simultaneously racing to be the first to reach the bottom of the course. There will be one event for men and one for women. The 2024 Games will be the first Olympics to achieve full gender parity with an equal number of male and female athletes, a big step forward for equality in sports. Paris 2024 will include an IOC Refugee Olympic Team. This team first made its appearance at the Rio 2016 Games providing a platform for talented athletes who have been displaced from their home country. For the first time ever, the Paris 2024 opening ceremony will not be held in a stadium. Instead it will take place on the Seine River offering a stunning and unique backdrop as it flows through the heart of Paris. And finally, do you already know the official mascot of Paris 2024? It is a Phrygian cap, bonnet Phrygian in French, which represents a symbol of freedom, inclusion and the ability of people to support great and significant causes. 【译文欣赏】 2024年巴黎奥运会的12个有趣的事实 今天我们要探索关于2024年巴黎奥运会的12个有趣的事实。让我们开始吧。 2024年巴黎奥运会将于2024年7月26日至8月11日正式举行。残奥会将在8月28日至9月8日举行。 你知道吗，一些奥运比赛甚至在盛大的开幕式之前就开始了。足球和橄榄球比赛在7月24日，也就是正式开幕前两天开赛。 2024年巴黎奥运会非常特别，因为它标志着自1924年巴黎上次举办奥运会以来整整100年了。这是一个百年庆典。 在2024年巴黎奥运会期间，将有32个运动项目，共设有329个奖牌赛事。 水上项目将有最多的奖牌争夺，包括游泳、马拉松游泳、跳水、水球和花样游泳共49项。田径紧随其后，有48项赛事。 2024年巴黎奥运会将向奥运会引入一项新运动：霹雳舞，也被称为街舞。比赛将包括男子和女子两个项目，共有32名选手参与角逐。 在奥运历史上，男子将首次参加花样游泳比赛。这是该运动的一次突破性变化。 皮划艇将有一项激动人心的新赛事：激流回旋。四名运动员将同时从斜坡出发，竞相成为第一个到达终点的人。将设有男子赛和女子赛。 2024年奥运会将是第一届实现完全性别平等的奥运会，男女运动员人数相等，这是体育平等的一大进步。 2024年巴黎奥运会将有一个国际奥委会难民奥运代表队。这支队伍首次出现在2016年里约奥运会上，为难民运动员提供了一个展示才华的平台。 有史以来第一次，2024年巴黎奥运会的开幕式将不在体育场举行。相反，它将在塞纳河上举行，提供了一个令人惊叹且独特的背景，因为它流经巴黎市中心。 最后，你知道2024年巴黎奥运会的官方吉祥物吗？它是一顶弗里吉亚帽，法语中称为“bonnet Phrygian”，它代表着自由、包容和人们支持伟大且有意义事业的能力。 第二部分 高考题型精练 一、语法填空 Yang Jiayu wins gold in Olympic race walk China’s Yang Jiayu won the women’s 20 kilometer race walk at the Trocadero venue, winning the nation’s 11th gold medal of the Games.

The message to audiences (and corporate sponsors) is clear: in a fractious,divided world, nothing unites people like sport. The idea is inspiring-but, to a surprising extent,untrue. Though the quadrennial Olympics and the men' s football World Cup both have audiences that span the planet,most of the world' s most valuable sporting properties have stubbornly resisted globalisation.America' s National Football League (NFL), the biggest of the lot, makes 98% of its media-rights revenue at home.India' s cricket Premier League,whose media rights are worth more than those of the Olympics on an annualised basis, makes 96% of its money inside its host country.In European football, only England' s Premier League makes more money abroad than at home. But now, at last, globalisation is limbering up.Technology is transforming how sport is broadcast and how fans enjoy it, giving leagues of all kinds a shot at going global. This represents a big opportunity for businesses-billions of dollars await those that conquer foreign markets-and an even bigger one for audiences, as spectacles that already delight fans in one country start to thrill those in others. An influx of foreign sports will cause some to boo and hiss. Leagues and media companies should take no notice, and shoot at an open goal. Sport' s failure as an export-and the scale of its potential-is best illustrated by a comparison with other entertainment industries. Since around the turn of the century,Hollywood has earned more than half of its box-office income abroad.American musical artists rely on foreign listeners for nearly a third of their streams and a big chunk of their concert-ticket sales (as Taylor Swift,who is touring Europe, can attest). In video games, meanwhile,Japanese consoles and Chinese apps have players hooked worldwide. Two shifts are helping sport go global. The first is a supply-side revolution, as sports broadcasting belatedly moves from national broadcast and cable-television channels to global streaming platforms. Netflx,which got its worldwide audience glued to South Korean horror and French comedy, is now doing the same with sport. Its “Drive to Survive" documentary series introduced Americans to Formula 1 (imagine NASCAR with right turns). In December it will give many of its 270m subscribers their first taste of the NFL (think rugby with shoulder pads). Apple last year began streaming Major League Soccer (MLS) to more than 100countries. As distribution goes global, fans will have the chance to watch new sports. The second revolution is on the demand side.The biggest obstacle to a sport' s foreign adoption is that,unlike other forms of entertainment,audiences want to watch their home team,rather than the best one. But fans' attachment to teams is slowly giving way to their devotion to individual athletes.Social media let the best players cultivate global personal followings,drawing in fans with no connection to their team, or even their sport. Star players have drawn worldwide fans to England' s Premier League. Lionel Messi has brought new audiences to MLS not only because of his six Golden Boot awards, but also his half a billion Instagram followers.Women' s basketball is booming thanks to Caitlin Clark,a player whose record-breaking performance has drawn fans who had never watched the game,let alone attended the University of lowa,where she started. It helps that young fans,whose preferred medium is short-form video, are more likely than older ones to watch highlights and summary shows of the action across a league,rather than a single match featuring their favourite team.Sports betting,recently legalised in much of America and growing rapidly, is further encouraging league-wide consumption instead of a focus on a single teamn.As fandom becomes more promiscuous and less tribal,it is being decoupled from geography. Who stands to win at this new game? Among media companies, the best-placed are those with the widest distribution.Leagues want reach above all, and are willing to accept less lucrative deals with streaming services that can put their games in front of audiences everywhere.Netflix,Amazon and the other global platforms have an advantage over incumbents (though Netflix' s recent comment that its NFL matches each cost the equivalent of a new movie was enough to make unsporty cinephiles weep). Among sports organisations, the biggest leagues will benefit most from wider distribution, just as music streaming has funnelled listeners to megastars like Ms Swift.But streaming also fosters healthy “long tails” of niche content. Women' s sport,long neglected, makes up nearly half of ESPN' s streaming output. The sports most at risk are between the hits and the niches; an anaemic media-rights deal agreed on recently by France' s football Ligue 1 shows how competition squeezes average leagues. There are signs fans are cooling on the Olympics,with its emphasis on countries over famous individuals-some of whom,like Mr Messi,choose to skip it. As they globalise, sports will face a complaint once directed at other entertainment industries: that unworthy foreign content is pushing out treasured local favourites.A century ago politicians worried that radio broadcasts were tempting listeners to tune into big-city bands rather than local troupes. More recently, European politicians have complained that American television is distracting viewers from local programming. Expect to hear more of the same as fans root for faraway sporting celebrities rather than local stars-and prepare to ignore it. It is for fans to choose what sports to follow, just as they pick what music to listen to or which films to see. In sport, of all things, competition is what counts.Sporting organisations worried about losing fans in this new global game should heed the Olympic motto: time to get faster,higher,stronger. 【译文欣赏】 7月26日，来自200多个国家的运动员将在塞纳河上航行，作为巴黎奥运会开幕式的一部分。从穿着刺绣长袍的蒙古队到穿着Lululemon轰炸机夹克的加拿大队，这个队伍旨在象征石人类各个角落的聚集。向观众（和企业赞助商）传达的信息很明确：在一个分裂的世界中，没有什么比体育更能团结人们了。 这个想法很鼓舞人心，但令人惊讶的是，它是不真实的。尽管四年一度的奥运会和男子足球世界杯都有遍布全球的观众，但世界上大多数最有价值的体育赛事都顽固地抵制全球化。美国国家橄榄球联盟（NFL）是最大的联盟之一，其98％的媒体版权收入来自国内。印度板球超级联赛的媒体版权价值超过奥运会，其96％的收入来自其主办国。在欧洲足球中，只有英格兰的英超联赛在国外比在国内赚更多的钱。 但现在，全球化终于开始升温了。技术正在改变体育的广播方式和球迷的享受方式，为各种联盟提供了走向全球的机会。这对企业来说是一个巨大的机会-数十亿美元等待着那些征服外国市场的企业-对观众来说更是如此，因为已经让一个国家的球迷感到高兴的场面开始让其他国家的球迷感到兴奋。外国体育的涌入将导致一些人发出嘘声和嘘声。联盟和媒体公司应该毫不在意，向一个开放的目标射击。 体育作为出口的失败-及其潜力的规模-最好通过与其他娱乐产业的比较来说明。自世纪之交以来，好莱坞一半以上的票房收入来自海外。美国音乐艺术家近三分之一的流媒体和大部分音乐会门票销售依赖外国听众（正如正在欧洲巡演的泰勒·斯威夫特所证明的那样）。与此同时，在视频游戏方面，日本游戏机和中国应用程序吸引了全球玩家。 两个转变正在帮助体育走向全球。第一个是供给侧革命，因为体育广播迟迟没有从国家广播和有线电视频道转移到全球流媒体平台。Netflix让全球观众沉迷于韩国恐怖片和法国喜剧，现在也在体育领域做同样的事情。它的“生存之路”纪录片系列向美国人介绍了一级方程式赛车（想象一下右转的NASCAR）。12月，它将让许多270m订户第一次尝到NFL（想想带垫肩的橄榄球）。苹果去年开始向100多个国家播放美国职业足球大联盟（MLS）。随着发行走向全球，球迷将有机会观看新的运动。 第二次革命是在需求方面。一项运动被国外采用的最大障碍是，与其他形式的娱乐不同，观众希望观看他们的主队，而不是最好的球队。但球迷对球队的依恋正在慢慢让位于他们对个人运动员的热爱。社交媒体让最好的球员培养全球个人追随者，吸引了与他们的球队甚至他们的运动没有任何联系的球迷。明星球员吸引了全球球迷来到英格兰的英超联赛。利昂内尔·梅西为美国职业足球大联盟带来了新的观众，不仅因为他获得了六项金靴奖，还因为他的五亿Instagram粉丝。女子篮球正在蓬勃发展，这要归功于凯特琳·克拉克，这位球员创纪录的表现吸引了从未看过比赛的球迷，更不用说她开始的爱荷华大学了。 年轻球迷的首选媒介是短视频，他们比年长的球迷更有可能观看整个联盟的精彩集锦和摘要节目，而不是一场展示他们最喜欢的球队的比赛。体育博彩最近在美国大部分地区合法化并迅速增长，进一步鼓励了全联盟的消费，而不是专注于单一球队。随着球迷群体变得更加混杂和不那么部落化，它正在与地理位置脱钩。 谁将在这场新游戏中获胜？在媒体公司中，排名最高的是那些发行范围最广的公司。联盟首先希望覆盖范围，并愿意接受与流媒体服务的利润较低的交易，这些服务可以将他们的游戏放在世界各地的观众面前。Netflix、亚马逊和其他全球平台比现有平台具有优势（尽管Netflix最近评论说，其NFL比赛的每场费用相当于一部新电影，这足以让不喜欢运动的电影爱好者哭泣）。 在体育组织中，最大的联盟将从更广泛的分发中受益最大，就像音乐流媒体将听众引导到像斯威夫特女士这样的巨星一样。但流媒体也培养了健康的“长尾”利基内容。长期被忽视的女子运动占ESPN流媒体输出的近一半。风险最大的运动是热门和利基之间的运动；法国足球Ligue 1最近达成的一项无力的媒体权利协议显示了竞争如何挤压普通联盟。有迹象表明，球迷对奥运会的兴趣正在降温，因为它强调国家而不是名人-其中一些人，如梅西先生，选择跳过它。 随着体育运动的全球化，它们将面临一个曾经针对其他娱乐业的抱怨：不值得的互通内容正在淘汰当地珍爱的节目。一个世纪前，政治家们担心广播节目会诱使听众收听大城市的乐队，而不是当地的剧团。最近，欧洲政治家抱怨美国电视正在分散观众对当地节目的注意力。 期待听到更多相同的声音，因为粉丝们支持遥远的体育名人而不是本地明星，并准备忽略它。粉丝们可以选择关注哪些运动，就像他们选择听什么音乐或看哪些电影一样。在体育运动中，竞争是最重要的。担心在这个新的全球运动中失去粉丝的体育组织应该遵循奥林匹克座右铭：是时候变得更快、更高、更强了。 【词汇积累】 1.brawny adj.强壮的 2.embroidered adj.绣花的；刺绣的 3.kaftans n.（中东等地的）长袖长袍 4.bomber-jacket n.飞行员夹克 5.cricket n.板球 6.limber up（比赛或剧烈运动前）做准备活动；热身 7.influx n.（人）大量涌入 8.boo and hiss 嘘声和嘲笑 9.box-office n.票房 10.attest v.证明；证实 11.belatedly adv.延迟地；迟到地 12.rugby n.橄榄球 13.cultivate v.培养；陶冶 14.let alone 更不用说 15.fandom n.粉丝圈；粉丝文化 16.promiscuous adj.混杂的 17.lucrative adj.获利多的；赚钱的 18.incumbent n.在职者；现任者 19.anaemic adj.无活力的 20.troupe n.剧团 Passage 2 中国在混合气步枪射击项目中夺得巴黎奥运会首枚金牌 【材料来源：The Guardian July 27, 2024】 China bag first gold medal of Paris Olympics in mixed air rifle shooting The biggest threat to anybody’s medal hopes in shooting disciplines is not the exceptional talent of the Chinese. It is, instead, perspiration.China’s glory in the 10m mixed air rifle team event was as straightforward as one could anticipate for the world champions and pre-competition favourites, Huang Yuting and Sheng Lihao. Here was the rarest of things; a Chinese Olympic success apparently free from the whiff of controversy. At 11.22am on Saturday, the first gold medal of the Games was sealed. One down, 328 to go. South Korea’s Keum Ji-hyeon and Park Ha-jun were nudged into the silver medal position despite a late rally.Sheng kisses his rifle before he shoots. Huang appears in some kind of trance before pulling the trigger. Handily, the pair are completely unmoved by external factors. There are rather a few of them here on the outskirts of Châteauroux. This military base feels so far removed from the Champs-Élysées and Parisian stadiums. Which it is; the Eiffel Tower sits 250km away from where Huang delivered the crucial shot. The diaspora of the shooters. It felt bizarre the event organisers determined gold would first be awarded in this distant annex. A brass band played outside, the French sports minister took in the competition but there was precious little sense of occasion. The venue itself is steamy, muggy, uncomfortable. While that can be handled by spectators, it is tricky for athletes who have to compete in ludicrous leather suits. No wonder so many of them walk uneasily. Perhaps this explains the muted celebrations of the Chinese team; cold shower beats gold medal. “It is definitely a thing,” said Team GB’s Seonaid McIntosh. “This sounds kind of gross but once you are soaking, you don’t really feel it anymore. But it is hard when you have sweat running down your face. “It is not completely normal for it to be this warm but it is also not outwith the bounds of possibility. It has happened before. It is hard when it is this hot. You have a headband on, take that off because it is too hot then you have sweat dripping into your eyes so you can’t see.” With a rifle in your hand, this feels problematic. McIntosh and Mike Bargeron had failed to progress to the gold or bronze medal matches but there was no sense of excuse-making after finishing 26th out of 28 teams. Both were upbeat. “The 10m mixed was always going to be a warm-up for us,” said Bargeron. “It is not a speciality for either of us. We planned it out weeks ago. So it was nice to get the nerves out, feel the crowd, feel the atmosphere and the heat as well. It was really great.” Germany earned their bronze medal meeting with Kazakhstan by one-tenth of a millimetre. Talk about tiny margins. With 16 points the target for victory, the Kazakhstan team of Alexandra Le and Islam Satpayev enjoyed a fast start but were hauled back by Germany’s Anna Janssen and Maximilian Ulbrich. With Le in particular excelling, Kazakhstan established another lead, this time 11-5. At 10.45am, Satpayev saw Kazakhstan across the line 17-5, for the first medal of the Games. It is their first in shooting since 1996. In the big one, China raced into a 6-2 lead after four rounds. Sheng’s accuracy was exceptional. Two Chinese shots, each earning 10.6 values – the highest possible is 10.9 – in the ninth round was key. At this point, China were ahead 12-6. They needed 14 rounds to secure gold, 16-12. South Korea had threatened an upset by recovering valiantly from 14-8 to 14-12 behind. “This medal is the culmination of a lot of practise,” said Haung, who is still only 17. “It also means a new start.” Bargeron labelled Chinese ability in this sphere as “insane.” They also have shooting stars who can handle the distinct heat of French battle. 【译文欣赏】 中国在混合气步枪射击项目中夺得巴黎奥运会首枚金牌 在射击项目中，对任何人奖牌希望的最大威胁并不是中国选手的非凡天赋，而是汗水。世界冠军和赛前热门黄雨婷和盛李豪在10米混合气步枪团体赛中的胜利如预期般顺利。这是极少见的，没有任何争议的中国奥运会成功案例。 周六上午11点22分，奥运会的首枚金牌被确定。已完确定金牌，还剩328个。尽管韩国的金智贤和朴夏俊在最后时刻奋力追赶，仍被挤到银牌位置。盛在射击前亲吻他的步枪。黄在扣动扳机前似乎进入了一种恍惚状态。幸运的是，这对组合完全不受外界因素的影响。 在这里的Châteauroux郊区，有很多外部因素。这个军事基地感觉离香榭丽舍大街和巴黎的体育场非常遥远。而事实也是如此；埃菲尔铁塔距离黄射出关键一枪的地方有250公里。射击手的流散地。赛事组织者决定在这个偏远的附属场地首先颁发金牌，这让人感到很奇怪。外面有一支铜管乐队演奏，法国体育部长也来观看比赛，但现场几乎没有庆祝的氛围。 场馆本身闷热、不舒适。观众可以应对这种环境，但对于穿着笨重皮衣比赛的运动员来说很困难。难怪这么多运动员步态不稳。也许这解释了中国队低调的庆祝；冷水澡胜过金牌。 “这确实是个问题，”英国队的塞奥娜·麦金托什说。“这听起来有点恶心，但一旦你湿透了，就不会再感觉到了。但当汗水顺着脸流下来时就很难受。 “这天气并不完全正常，但也不是不可能。这种情况以前也发生过。当天气这么热的时候很难受。你戴着头带，太热了就摘掉，但汗水又滴进眼睛里，所以你看不清楚。”手里拿着步枪，这感觉问题很大。 麦金托什和迈克·巴格伦未能进入金牌或铜牌争夺战，但在28支队伍中排名第26也没有让他们找借口。两人都很乐观。“10米混合赛对我们来说一直是热身赛，”巴格伦说。“这不是我们的专长。我们几周前就计划好了。所以能缓解紧张，感受观众、气氛和热度真的很好。” 德国以0.1毫米的微弱优势赢得了与哈萨克斯坦的铜牌争夺战。胜利的目标是16分，亚历山德拉·勒和伊斯兰·萨特帕耶夫组成的哈萨克斯坦队开局迅速，但被德国的安娜·扬森和马克西米利安·乌尔布里希追赶上。特别是勒表现出色，哈萨克斯坦再次确立领先，11-5。上午10点45分，萨特帕耶夫帮助哈萨克斯坦以17-5赢得比赛，获得本届奥运会首枚奖牌。这是他们自1996年以来首次在射击项目中获奖。 在决赛中，中国队在四轮后以6-2领先。盛李豪的准确度异常出色。在第九轮，两名中国选手分别射出10.6环的成绩——最高可能成绩为10.9环。此时，中国队以12-6领先。他们用了14轮锁定金牌，以16-12获胜。韩国队曾在落后14-8的情况下顽强追赶到14-12，几乎爆冷。 “这枚奖牌是大量练习的结晶，”仍只有17岁的黄雨婷说。“这也意味着一个新的开始。” 巴格伦称中国在这个领域的能力为“疯狂”。他们还拥有能应对法国酷热战斗的射击明星。 Passage 3 全红婵卫冕奥运冠军，外媒如何描写“水花消失术”？ 【材料来源：NBC Olympics August 6th, 2024】 Perfect start leads to Olympic gold for China's Quan Hongchan in women's platform diving finals The saying goes, "it's not how you start, it's how you finish." But when you start a diving competition with perfect 10s from all seven judges on your first jump, a lead like that is hard for any competitor to catch. China's Quan Hongchan made a massive statement with no splash on her first dive of Tuesday's women's 10m platform diving finals. The perfect forward 3 1/2 received a score for 90.0 points after accounting for degree of difficulty. From there, it seemed that Quan's only competition was her own teammate, Chen Yuxi. The two tussled for gold and silver as the rest of the competitors battled for bronze. Chen stayed within gold-medal distance of her teammate, but a final dive score of 92.4 gave Quan the gold by 4.9 points. Tuesday’s biggest drama came in the rivalry between Quan and Chen, who won gold together in the synchronized platform finals in Paris last week. Quan, just 17 years old, came to Paris as the defending Olympic gold medalist. In those Games, as a 14-year-old, she bested Chen, who finished second as a 15-year-old. Ever since, the two have gone back-and-forth for world championship gold. Chen won in 2022 and 2023, and Quan was back on top earlier this year. Chen's first dive on Tuesday in Paris scored a not-so-minuscule 82.50. The slight imperfections by Quan showed in her second and third dives. Chen's third jump — an armstand with three somersaults — scored 89.10, and she was just 1.6 points out of first with two dives remaining. As the rest of the field tried to score higher than the 70s, Quan and Chen battled each other for who could get over than 90-point bar. Chen's fourth dive, a back 3 ½ somersaults, came oh-so-close, scoring 89.10. Quan responded with her own back 3 1/2, splashing less on her entry than her perfect first dive. She was rewarded with a 92.40 and went into the final dive with a five-point lead over her teammate. On the final dive, Chen performed a back 2 ½ with 1 ½ twists, and scored 81.60, meaning Quan needed just 76 points for the win. She did five points better. Doing the same dive, Quan received the same score as her teammate, and finished with a gold medal win by 4.9 points. North Korea’s Kim Mi Rae won the battle for bronze with a final score of 372.10, 7.6 points better than fourth place finisher Caeli McKay, of Canada. It’s Kim’s second medal of these Olympics. She also won silver in the synchro platform. China’s divers led throughout all three rounds of the platform competition. Tuesday’s competitors were the top 12 after Monday's semifinals. Quan has made a huge splash on the diving world with her ability to enter the water from height with seemingly no splash at all. Coaches and fans were so in awe of her ability that they couldn’t describe it with words, so they created a new one. The Mandarin Chinese phrase is pronounced “shui hua xiao shi shu,” and translates to "water splash disappearance technique.” She may enter the water with minimal splash, but at 17, Quan's ripple effect on the diving world is making waves. Tuesday was just the fifth time a woman has won back-to-back gold medals in the platform event. The teenager now leaves Paris a three-time Olympic gold medalist. With the win, China is now 5-for-5 with golds in every Paris diving event. With three events remaining, they remain in play to be the first country to ever sweep all eight events at a single Olympics. 【译文欣赏】 全红婵完美开局为中国赢得女子跳台跳水决赛的奥运金牌 俗话说，“关键不在于你如何开始，而在于你如何结束。”但是，当你在跳水比赛中以首跳获得七位裁判满分10分的成绩开局时，这样的领先优势是任何竞争对手都难以追赶的。 中国的全红婵在周二的女子10米跳台跳水决赛中，以零水花的完美入水表现作出了一个强有力的开场。这个完美的前翻腾三周半动作因其难度系数得到了90.0分。 从那时起，似乎全红婵唯一的竞争对手就是她的队友陈芋汐。两人争夺金银牌，而其他选手则在争夺铜牌。 陈芋汐始终保持在金牌争夺范围内，但最终一跳的92.4分让全红婵以4.9分的优势赢得了金牌。 周二最大的戏剧性来自于全红婵和陈芋汐之间的对决，她们上周在巴黎的同步跳台决赛中一起赢得了金牌。 全红婵仅17岁，作为卫冕奥运金牌得主来到巴黎。在那届奥运会上，年仅14岁的全红婵战胜了15岁的陈芋汐夺得金牌。自那以来，两人一直在世界锦标赛上轮流争夺金牌。陈芋汐在2022年和2023年夺冠，而全红婵则在今年年初重回巅峰。 周二陈芋汐在巴黎的第一跳得到了不算低的82.50分。 全红婵在第二跳和第三跳中表现出了一些轻微的不完美。陈芋汐的第三跳是臂立向后翻腾3周抱膝，得分89.10，此时剩余两跳，她和第一名的差距仅有1.6分。 在其余选手努力超过70分大关时，全红婵和陈芋汐则在互相竞争，看看谁能超过90分的门槛。陈芋汐的第四跳，一个背向翻腾三周半的动作，得到了89.10分。全红婵则以更少的水花入水，完成了同样的背向翻腾三周半动作，获得了92.40分的高分，以五分的领先优势进入最后一跳。 在最后一跳中，陈芋汐完成了一个背向翻腾两周半并带有一周半转体的动作，得到了81.60分，这意味着全红婵只需76分即可夺冠。 她比所需分数高出五分。全红婵同样完成了这个动作，并获得了与陈芋汐相同的分数，最终以4.9分的优势赢得了金牌。 朝鲜的金美莱以总分372.10赢得了铜牌，领先于加拿大选手凯莉·麦凯7.6分。这是金美莱在本届奥运会上获得的第二枚奖牌。她还在同步跳台比赛中获得了银牌。 中国跳水选手在整个跳台比赛的三轮中始终处于领先地位。周二的选手们是周一半决赛后的前12名。 全红婵以其从高处几乎不溅起水花的入水能力在跳水界引起了轰动。教练和粉丝们对她的能力惊叹不已，甚至无法用语言来形容，于是他们创造了一个新词。这句中文短语发音为“水花消失术”，意思是“水花消失技术”。 虽然她的入水几乎没有水花，但年仅17岁的全红婵在跳水界的影响力却引起了巨大的波动。周二，她成为历史上第五位在跳台项目中连续获得奥运金牌的女性。这位少年现在已经成为了三枚奥运金牌得主。 随着这次胜利，中国在巴黎跳水项目中已经取得了5个金牌。在剩下的三项比赛中，他们仍然有可能成为第一个在单届奥运会上横扫全部八个跳水项目的国家。 【词汇积累】 1. tussle 扭打；争斗 2. rivalry 竞争；对抗 3. minuscule 极小的 4. imperfection 缺陷；瑕疵 5. synchronized 同步的；协调一致的 Passage 4 中国游泳选手潘展乐打破100米自由泳世界纪录 【材料来源：Reuters】 China's state media, netizens rally around Pan after claims 100m swim not 'humanly possible' China's state media, athletes and netizens rallied to support Olympic swimming champion Pan Zhanle after critics including an Australian swim commentator said his world record swim in the 100 metres freestyle was not "humanly possible". Pan smashed his own 100 metres freestyle world record, shaving 0.40 seconds off the previous mark he set at the World Championships in Doha in February, to humble rivals including Australia's Kyle Chalmers and Romania's David Popovici. The 19-year old Pan finished in 46.60 seconds to take China's first swimming gold medal at the Paris Olympic Games. His win came after he "completed rigorous doping test programs prior to and during the games with zero positive results," the China Daily said on Friday. Pan said he took 21 doping tests from May to July prior to the games. "I cooperated with all the testing procedures and stayed confident that I am competing fair and clean," he told the newspaper. "I did a lot of aerobics and endurance training to strengthen my push and kick in the final split. We have also adopted a scientific underwater monitoring and analysing system to review our techniques and strokes, so that we can train better and more effectively." Australian coach and commentator Brett Hawke posted on his Instagram that "It's not humanly possible to beat that field" and that the swim was "not real life. Not in that pool, against that field." Hawke's comments were widely shared on China's Weibo platform with one user commenting: "It's so cool to see them incompetent, angry and breaking their defences." "He is praising us, saying that position is impossible but sorry we did it," said another. The Chinese swim team has been under intense scrutiny since revelations in April that 23 of the country's swimmers tested positive for a banned heart medication in 2021 but were allowed to compete at the Tokyo Olympics. 【译文欣赏】 中国国家媒体、运动员和网民齐声支持奥运游泳冠军潘展乐，此前包括一名澳大利亚游泳评论员在内的批评者声称，他在100米自由泳项目上的世界纪录并非“人类所能完成”。 潘展乐打破了他自己在今年2月多哈世界锦标赛上创下的100米自由泳世界纪录，将纪录缩短了0.40秒，击败了包括澳大利亚的凯尔·查默斯和罗马尼亚的大卫·波波维奇在内的对手。 这位19岁的潘展乐以46.60秒的成绩完成比赛，为中国赢得了巴黎奥运会上的首枚游泳金牌。中国日报在周五报道中表示，他的胜利是在“完成了严格的赛前和赛中兴奋剂检测计划且所有结果均为阴性”之后取得的。 潘展乐表示，在比赛前的5月至7月期间，他接受了21次兴奋剂检测。“我配合了所有检测程序，并始终自信自己在公平清白地比赛，”他对该报表示。 “我进行了大量有氧和耐力训练，以加强我在最后分段的推进和踢腿动作。我们还采用了科学的水下监测和分析系统来回顾我们的技术和动作，以便我们能够更好、更有效地训练。” 澳大利亚教练兼评论员布雷特·霍克在他的Instagram上发帖称：“在那个领域击败那群人是不可能的”，并表示这场比赛“不是现实生活中发生的。不是在那个泳池里，与那个选手阵容竞争。” 霍克的评论在中国的微博平台上被广泛分享，一位用户评论道：“看到他们无能为力、愤怒并崩溃的样子，真是太酷了。” 另一位用户则表示：“他其实是在称赞我们，说那个位置不可能达到，但对不起，我们做到了。” 自今年4月曝光23名中国游泳运动员在2021年检测出禁用的心脏药物呈阳性，但仍被允许参加东京奥运会以来，中国游泳队一直面临着严密的审查。 【词汇积累】 1.rally v.一致支持；团结起来 2.humble v.轻易击败强大的对手 Passage 5 郑钦文成为首位赢得奥运会网球单打金牌的中国选手 【材料来源：The Guardian July 27, 2024】 Zheng Qinwen rewards raucous Chinese support to grab gold in tense tennis final First Chinese Olympic tennis champion since 2004 ‘I feel like I had special energy and lots of support’ Zheng Qinwen became the first Chinese player to win an Olympic ­tennis singles gold medal when she held off Croatia’s Donna Vekic for a 6-2, 6-3 win in a tense final on Saturday. The 21-year-old sixth seed was given raucous support by a sizeable Chinese contingent inside Roland Garros’s Court Philippe-Chatrier and responded with a composed performance. Vekic, herself bidding to become Croatia’s first Olympic singles champion, battled hard to try to turn the match around but failed to capitalise on her opportunities. Zheng was not at her sparkling best in the final but raised her game when required to land the biggest prize of her career. Serving for the match at 5-3, Zheng reached match points as Vekic drove a backhand wide and finished it off with a well-placed forehand winner before falling on her back on the clay court with joy. China’s only other gold medal in Olympic tennis came in 2004 when Li Ting and Sun Tiantian won the women’s doubles in Athens while the best previous singles performance was Li Na’s run to the semi-finals in 2008, although she missed out on a medal. Zheng, runner-up at the Australian Open this year, now looks capable of scaling the same heights as Li who claimed two grand slam titles during her illustrious career. “Nothing can describe my feelings right now,” Zheng told Eurosport on court before the medals ceremony. “It’s unreal, I was hoping to get a medal for China and I made it, I got the gold. I did everything I could.” Her victory completed a memorable week for China on the Parisian clay after Wang Xinyu and Zhang Zhizhen won the silver medal in the mixed doubles the previous evening. Zheng, who men’s finalist Novak Djokovic describes as his favourite female player, began the week in devastating fashion, beating former French Open runner-up Sara Errani 7-6, 6-0. She had to dig deep in long, three-set epics against Emma Navarro and Germany’s Angelique Kerber before stunning hot favourite Iga Swiatek to give herself a shot at gold. The vastly experienced Vekic presented a formidable obstacle in the final but Zheng started the contest quickly to lead 3-0 and managed to stay in control by coming through some edgy games. “I fought every single match, I feel like I had special energy and lots of support. My country will be proud and my family who I know will be screaming at home by the TV,” Zheng said. Poland’s Swiatek finished with the bronze medal after beating Slovakia’s Anna Karolina Schmiedlova 6-2, 6-1 . Earlier, Matthew Ebden and John Peers won Australia’s second tennis gold medal in Olympic history when beating Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram, of the United States, 6-7 (6), 7-6 (1), 10-8 in a tight battle in the men’s doubles final. 【译文欣赏】 郑钦文在紧张的网球决赛中抓住机会夺得金牌，回报了热情的中国球迷支持 自2004年以来首位获得奥运网球冠军的中国选手 “我感觉自己拥有特别的能量和大量的支持” 郑钦文成为首位赢得奥运会网球单打金牌的中国选手，她在周六的紧张决赛中以6-2、6-3击败了克罗地亚的唐娜·维基奇。 这位21岁的六号种子在罗兰·加洛斯的菲利普·夏蒂埃球场内得到了大量中国观众的热情支持，并以冷静的表现回报了他们的期望。 维基奇本希望成为克罗地亚首位奥运会单打冠军，她在比赛中努力拼搏，试图扭转局面，但未能把握住机会。 尽管郑钦文在决赛中并未展现出她最出色的状态，但她在需要时提升了自己的水平，赢得了职业生涯中最重要的奖项。 在5-3的比分下为比赛发球时，维基奇一个反手失误将球打偏，郑钦文因此拿到了赛点，并以一个精准的正手制胜球结束了比赛，然后她满怀喜悦地倒在了红土场上。 中国此前唯一的奥运网球金牌是在2004年获得的，当时李婷和孙甜甜在雅典赢得了女子双打冠军，而此前中国网球单打的最佳成绩是李娜在2008年闯入半决赛，尽管她最终无缘奖牌。 今年澳网亚军郑钦文现在看起来有能力达到李娜的高度，后者在她辉煌的职业生涯中赢得了两次大满贯冠军。 “现在没有什么能形容我的感受，”郑钦文在颁奖仪式前对Eurosport表示。“这太不真实了，我希望为中国赢得一枚奖牌，现在我做到了，我拿到了金牌。我尽我所能。” 她的胜利为中国队在巴黎红土场上的难忘一周画上了圆满的句号，前一晚王欣瑜和张之臻在混双比赛中赢得了银牌。 被男子单打决赛选手诺瓦克·德约科维奇称为他最喜欢的女球员的郑钦文，以毁灭性的方式开始了这一周的比赛，她以7-6、6-0击败了前法网亚军萨拉·埃拉尼。在与艾玛·纳瓦罗和德国的安吉利克·科贝尔的长达三盘的史诗般的较量中，郑钦文展现了强大的意志力，并最终震惊了大热门伊加·斯瓦泰克，给自己赢得金牌的机会。 经验丰富的维基奇在决赛中构成了强大的障碍，但郑钦文迅速进入比赛状态，以3-0领先，并通过几场紧张的比赛保持了控制权。 “我为每一场比赛而战，我感觉自己拥有特别的能量和大量的支持。我的国家会为我感到骄傲，我知道我的家人会在电视机前欢呼，”郑钦文说。 波兰的斯瓦泰克在击败斯洛伐克的安娜·卡罗琳娜·施米德洛娃后获得铜牌，比分为6-2、6-1。 稍早些时候，马修·埃布登和约翰·皮尔斯在男子双打决赛中以6-7 (6)、7-6 (1)、10-8击败美国的奥斯汀·克拉吉塞克和拉杰夫·拉姆，为澳大利亚赢得了历史上第二枚奥运网球金牌。 【词汇积累】 raucous adj.刺耳的；尖厉的 hold off 在比赛或竞赛中抵挡住对手的挑战 Passage 6 巴黎奥运会小知识 12 fascinating facts about the Paris 2024 Olympics Today we’re diving into 12 fascinating facts about the Paris 2024 Olympics.
