Sports idioms
Every language has its idioms,which are groups of words with meaningsdifferent from the meanings of the individual words①.Idioms make language more colourful and expressive.Since sport is an inseparable part of day-to-day life,there are lots of sports idioms that have found their way into② everyday language.Let's take a look at some of them!

体育习语
每一种语言都有习语,习语由词组构成,其蕴含的意义往往不能从词组中单个词的意思推测而得。习语使语言更加丰富多彩,富有表现力。由于体育是日常生活中不可分割的一部分,日常用语中已经出现了许多体育习语。让我们来看看其中的一些体育习语吧!
Football
Football (or soccer,as it is called in the USA) is one of the most popular sports in the world and many countries have their own football leagues③.The English language is full of idioms which are thought to have come from football.

③football leagues 足球联赛
league/liːɡ/n.[C]联赛;等级,级别
足球
足球(美国称为soccer)是世界上最受欢迎的运动之一,许多国家都有自己的足球联赛。英语中充满了被认为来源于足球的习语。
As you know,in a football match,players try to kick or head④ the ball into the opposing⑤ team's goal⑥,which is the net⑦ between two big goalposts fixed to the ground.Can you imagine that every time you have a chance to score,the goalposts are moved⑧?That would be not only difficult,but also upsetting.If someone “moves the goalposts” in everyday life 10,it means they unfairly change the rules or requirements for something.An insurance salesman⑨ who is about to reach his annual sales target 11,only for the company to make the target higher 12,could rightly complain⑩ about the company moving the goalposts 13.

11 who引导定语从句,先行词是an insurance salesman。
12 不定式短语作结果状语。
13 动名词的复合结构。
④head [熟词生义] vt.用头顶(球)
⑤opposing/ə'pəʊzIŋ/adj.对抗的;相反的
⑥goal n.[C]球门
⑦net/net/n.[sing. the net]球门网;[U]网,网状物
⑧move the goalposts 改变条件(或规则)(指在过程中改变原定的标准,故意让别人为难,含有贬义)
►It sure makes it difficult to get the job done when someone keeps moving the goalposts.总是有人改变规则,当然很难把工作做好了。
⑨an insurance salesman 保险推销员
insurance/In'ʃʊərəns;
In'ʃɔːrəns/n.[U,C]保险;[U]保险业;保险费
salesman/'seIlzmən/n.
[C]售货员,推销员
⑩complain/kəm'pleIn/vi.& vt.抱怨,投诉
正如你们所了解的,在足球比赛中,球员们试图将球踢进或顶进对方的球门,也就是固定在地上的两个大门柱之间的网。你能想象每次你有机会得分时,球门柱就被移动吗?这不仅很难做到,而且也令人不快。如果有人在日常生活中“移动球门柱”,这意味着他们不公平地改变了某事的规则或要求。一位保险推销员即将达到他的年度销售目标,但公司却把目标定得更高,那他就可以有理由抱怨公司是在“移动球门柱”。
Thankfully,goalposts do not really move—but when a player scores an own goal⑪,he or she might wish they did.“Scoring an own goal” in football means accidentally kicking or heading the ball into one's own net,and it is one of the worst things that can happen to a football player.If someone makes a bad mistake which unintentionally⑫ harms their own interests,they are said to have scored an own goal.You might see this expression in the newspapers when the local council⑬ makes a decision which backfires⑭ terribly!
⑪score an own goal 进乌龙球;无意中做让自己吃亏的事
⑫unintentionally
/ˌʌnIn'tenʃənəli/
adv.无意地,非故意地
[派生构词]un-(否定前缀)+intention (n.意图)+-al(形容词后缀)+-ly (副词后缀)→unintentionally (adv.)
⑬council/'kaʊnsl/n.[C]政务委员会,地方议会;市政服务机构;委员会
⑭backfire/ˌbæk'faIə(r)/vi.产生事与愿违的不良(或危险)后果
谢天谢地,球门柱并不会真正移动——但当一名球员把球踢进自家的球门时,他/她可能会希望球门柱会移动就好了。在足球运动中,“进乌龙球”的意思是不小心把球踢进或顶进了己方的球门。对足球运动员来说,这是最糟糕的事情之一。如果有人犯了一个严重的错误,无意中损害了自己的利益,他们就会被说成是“进乌龙球”。当地方议会做出了一个完全适得其反的决定时,你可能会在报纸上看到这种说法!
Baseball
Baseball is an old and popular sport that has given the English language many different idioms.You might have heard expressions like “in the ballpark⑮” or “a ballpark estimate”.The venue⑯ where a baseball game is played 14 is called a ballpark.So,even if we do not know exactly 15 where the ball is during the game 16,we can assume that it is somewhere in the ballpark 17.For this reason,people use the expression “in the ballpark” or “a ballpark estimate” to talk about rough estimates.
14 where引导定语从句,在从句中作地点状语。
15 even if引导让步状语从句。
16 where引导宾语从句。
17 that引导宾语从句。
⑮ballpark/'bɔːlpɑːk/n.[C]棒球场;[sing.]变动范围
in the ballpark 差不多
a ballpark estimate 大致相近的估计
[类似习语]a ballpark figure 大致数字
out of the ballpark 相差甚远
⑯venue/'venjuː/n.[C]活动场地
棒球
棒球是一项古老而流行的运动,它给英语带来了许多不同的习语。你可能听过“差不多”或“大致相近的估计”这样的表达。举行棒球比赛的场地叫作“棒球场”。所以,即使我们不知道球在比赛中的确切位置,我们也可以假设它在球场里的某个地方。因此,商业人士使用短语“差不多”或“大致相近的估计”来谈论粗略的估计。
Another common baseball expression is “throwing someone a curveball⑰”.Curveballs are balls that suddenly turn in the air,and these are of course difficult for the other team to handle⑱.We use this expression to describe things that are unexpected and difficult to respond to⑲.“Three strikes and you are out⑳” is another idiom that comes from baseball.As it suggests 18,in baseball this means that a batter (the person with the baseball bat in his or her hands) is out after making three unsuccessful attempts to hit the ball.This idiom is often used to talk about situations where people fail after wasting three chances 19.
18 as引导非限制性定语从句。
19 where引导定语从句,先行词为抽象地点名词situations。
⑰throw sb.a curveball 给某人出难题
►The workers complained that their boss threw them a curveball.工人们抱怨老板有意刁难他们。
⑱handle/'hændl/vt.处理,应付;控制,操纵 n.把手,拉手;柄
⑲respond to 作出反应
⑳three strikes and you are out 三振出局
strike n.[C]击球未中
另一个常见的棒球表达是“给某人出难题”。“曲线球”是指在空中突然转向的球,这对对方球队来说当然很难应对。我们用这个表达来描述那些出乎意料和难以应对的事情。“三振出局”是另一个来自棒球的习语。如其字面意思所示,在棒球运动中,击球手(手里拿着棒球棒的人)连续三次都未击中球,就出局了。这个习语经常用来形容人们错失了三次机会的情况。
Boxing
English also has a large number of idioms connected with boxing,which has been a popular sport for thousands of years 20.A boxer is not allowed to use his or her fists㉑ to hit the opponent below the waist㉒.Hence comes the idiom “below the belt㉓”. 21 In day-to-day life,if someone makes an unfair and cruel㉔ remark㉕,we can describe it as “below the belt”.
20 which引导非限制性定语从句。
21 此处为完全倒装。
㉑fist/fIst/n.[C]拳,拳头
㉒waist/weIst/n.[C]腰,腰部;(衣服的)腰部
㉓below the belt 不公正的,伤人的(常与be动词或动词hit连用)
㉔cruel/'kruːəl/adj.刻毒伤人的,残酷的
be cruel to...对……残忍;虐待……
►Don't be cruel to animals.不要虐待动物。
[拓展]cruelly adv.残酷地
㉕remark/rI'mɑːk/n.[C]谈论,言论 vt.& vi. 说起,评论
拳击
拳击是一项流行了几千年的运动,英语中也有很多与其有关的习语。拳击手不允许用他/她的拳头击打对手腰部以下的部位。因此就有了“不公正的,伤人的”这一习语。在日常生活中,如果有人说了不公平且残忍的话,我们可以把它描述为“不公正的,伤人的”。
“Throwing in the towel㉖” is another common idiom that comes from boxing 22 .When a boxer is losing badly and is too tired or confused to give up on his or her own,the coach will literally㉗ throw a towel into the ring to end the fight.In everyday life,this idiom simply means admitting defeat and giving up.
22 that引导定语从句。
㉖towel/'taʊəl/n.[C]毛巾,抹布,纸巾
throw in the towel 认输,承认失败
㉗literally/'lItərəli/adv.真正地,确实地;按字面,字面上
“认输”是另一个来自拳击的常见习语。当一名拳击手输得很惨,并因为太累或神志不清而无法自己放弃时,教练就会往擂台上扔一条毛巾来结束比赛。在日常生活中,这个习语就是指认输和放弃。
Sport is challenging and so is life 23.However,when you are thrown a curveball,do not throw in the towel—work hard,be careful not to score an own goal,and you are sure to make it㉘ 24 !
23 “so+系动词+主语”倒装结构。
24 “祈使句+and+陈述句”结构。
㉘make it 获得成功;能够出席;准时到达
运动是具有挑战性的,生活同样也是如此。但是,当你遇到难题时,不要认输——努力,小心别闹乌龙,你一定能获得成功!

Lauren Price has come a long way from a taxi driver to an Olympic champion. She pursued her Olympic dream all the way to winning the middleweight gold medal at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics.
“When I look back now,I have to pinch (掐) myself at times,because I still think it's mad that I won the Olympics,” Price told the media.
Raised by her grandparents,she was always encouraged to play sports. “They've always backed me. If it hadn't been for them,I wouldn't have achieved anything,” Price said. Her grandma used to say to her, “Reach for the moon and if you fall short,you'll land on the stars.”
She began with football. But Price was also a high-standard kickboxer and was then talent-scouted by a taekwondo coach before she switched to boxing.
“For me the big turning point was as a child being inspired by Kelly Holmes. I remember watching her on TV and I was like,‘Oh, I want to go to the Olympics’,” Price recalled. “I had that dream over the years. I just worked hard. I believe if you put the effort in,you'll get to where you want to be.”
When Price was breaking into the Welsh boxing team,funding was extremely limited. So she worked as a driver for a taxi company when she was still a teenager. “I was training from Monday to Thursday and then I was driving a taxi on Friday and Saturday nights. I'd start work at 5 pm and I'd finish at 4 am in the morning,picking up all the drunken passengers,” she remembered. That was a different kind of education. “It's quite funny now when I look back,” Price smiled.
Ultimately,she excelled as a boxer. Price won every major gold medal going, despite the difficulties of competing against bigger opponents outside of her weight class.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。Lauren Price在经过漫长的不懈努力后终于在东京奥运会的拳击项目中赢得了中量级金牌,她的成功离不开祖父母的支持与鼓励。

“Second place is just the first loser” is a well-known saying from the legendary NASCAR champion Dale Earnhardt.Or as my late father put it jokingly, “It's not enough to win.Your friends have to lose, too.”
We may not want others to know our thoughts, but many of us think this way, because we are born to compete with each other.However, if left unmanaged, this can create conflicts between ourselves and others.Fortunately, there is a way to solve this problem: instead of always going for gold, aim for the bronze (铜牌).
To expand on the wisdom of Earnhardt, although second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner, at least when it comes to happiness and longevity.A 1995 study discovered that bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than silver medalists, while another research in 2018 studied U.S.athletes in the Olympics from 1904 to 1936 and found that those whose best performance was silver lived to 72 on average.Gold medalists beat this by living to 76.But the first prize went to the bronze winners, who lived to 78.
The social concepts of upward and downward comparison help explain the difference.Silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they compare themselves only with the champions.In contrast, the bronze winners compare downwards with those who have never made it onto the podium (领奖台) at all.Therefore, they feel better about themselves and thus, happier.The emotion shows up in improved health and lifespan.In fact, researchers have found that comparing ourselves with the unlucky people is a reliable technique for reducing a negative mood.The comparison is not from a feeling of ill will, but because rewards in life are relative.
The worldly happiness strategy of working for gold every day is foolish.Stop spending most of your time feeling like a silver medalist: always pursuing and relying your happiness on a single outcome.Rather, aim for healthy competitions in which you do your best without the expectation of being the absolute winner.
