文化采风
蹴鞠
蹴鞠是指古人以脚蹴、蹋、踢皮球的活动,类似今日的足球。据史料记载,早在战国时期中国民间就流行娱乐性的蹴鞠游戏,而从汉代开始又成为兵家练兵之法,宋代又出现了蹴鞠组织与蹴鞠艺人,清代开始流行冰上蹴鞠。因此,可以说蹴鞠是中国古代流传久远、影响较大的一个体育项目。
2006年5月20日,蹴鞠作为非物质文化遗产经国务院批准列入第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。

A Game for the World[1]
1These days,football is one of the most popular sports in the world.Given that Neil Armstrong wanted to take a football to the Moon [2],we could even say that it is also the most popular sport out of this world!The history of the game goes back① over two thousand years to Ancient China.It was then known as cuju(kick ball),a game using a ball of animal skins with hair inside[3].Goals② were hung in the air.Football as we know it today[4] started in Great Britain,where the game was given new rules.
[1][标题赏析]本文的标题是“A Game for the World”,Game指的是足球运动。该标题妙在不定冠词“A”的使用上,它指“一项”,同时也暗含着“统一,同一”的意味,暗示足球运动是一项世界各地人们都热爱的运动,同时也是一项使人们团结友爱的运动。
学生用书第65页
[2]Given that...the Moon为given that引导的状语从句,意为“鉴于,考虑到”。
[3]此处a game...inside作cuju(kick ball)的同位语,using a...inside为动词-ing形式短语作定语,修饰名词a game。
[4]as we know it today为习语,作定语修饰Football,意为“为我们现在所熟悉的足球。”
2That football is such a simple game to play[5]is perhaps the basis③ of its popularity.It is also a game that is very cheap to play.You don't need expensive equipment④;even the ball doesn't have to cost much money.All over the world you can see kids playing to their hearts' content⑤ with a ball made of plastic⑥ bags[6];just like Pelé did when he was a boy.
[5]此处为That引导的主语从句。that引导主语从句时只起连接作用,不充当成分,没有实际含义,但是不能省略。
[6]see kids playing是“see+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,此处用动词-ing形式短语作宾语补足语,表示主动和动作正在进行,意为“看见某人正在做某事”。过去分词短语made of plastic bags作后置定语,修饰名词a ball。
3Another factor⑦ behind football's global popularity is the creativity and excitement on the field⑧.It is fun enough to attract millions of people.You do not have to be a fan to recognise the skill of professional players — how they use their bodies to pass,score and defend⑨ can be amazing to see—or to feel the excitement of a game ending with a surprising twist⑩.[7]
[7]本句中how they...to see解释说明职业球员的技巧,其中how they use...defend为how引导的主语从句。ending...twist为动词-ing形式短语作定语,修饰名词 a game。
4What's more,football has become one of the best ways for people to communicate:it does not require⑪ words,but everyone understands it.It breaks down⑫ walls and brings people togetherB13 on and off the field.[8]Take,for example⑭,the famous football game on Christmas Day 1914.World War Ⅰ had broken out⑮ months before,but British and German soldiers⑯ put down⑰ their guns and played football together — one moment of peace to remember[9] during years of conflict⑱.
学生用书第66页
[8]本句使用了隐喻的修辞手段。walls暗指人们之间的误解、敌意、冲突和隔阂。
[9]动词不定式to remember作后置定语,修饰名词短语one moment of peace。
5“Some people believe football is a matter of life and death⑲,...”said Bill Shankly,the famous footballer and manager.“I can assure⑳ you it is much,much more important than that.”This might sound funny,but one only has to think about the Earth to realise that our planet is shaped like㉑ a football[10].
[10]to realise...football为动词不定式短语作结果状语,其中that引导的宾语从句作动词realise的宾语。

一项世界运动
1现在,足球是世界上最受欢迎的运动之一。想想当年尼尔·阿姆斯特朗曾想把足球带上月球,我们甚至可以说它也是全宇宙中最受欢迎的运动了!这项运动的历史可以追溯到两千多年前的古代中国。当时,这项运动被称作“蹴鞠”(意为“以脚踢球”),是使用一个里面塞满毛发、外皮是动物皮革制成的球进行的一项运动。球门悬挂在空中。我们现在所熟悉的足球起源于英国,在那里这项运动被赋予了新的规则。
2足球是一项如此简单的运动,这或许就是它得以流行起来的原因。它也是一项非常便宜的运动。你无需昂贵的装备,即使是足球本身也不用花很多钱。在世界各地你都可以看到孩子们用塑料袋制作的足球尽情地玩耍,就像贝利小时候那样。
3足球在全球盛行的另一原因是球场上迸发的创新和激情,它充满乐趣,能够吸引数百万人观看。你(即便)不是球迷,也会赞赏职业球员的球技——他们利用自己的身体传球、得分和防守的绝技让人叹为观止——或者对一场结局有意外转折的比赛感到激动不已。
4此外,足球已经成为最佳的交流方式之一:它无需语言,但人人都能明白。它可以消除隔阂,让人们在球场内外都重归于好。以1914年圣诞节的那场著名的足球比赛为例,第一次世界大战在几个月前就爆发了,但英国和德国士兵还能放下枪支、一起踢足球,这成为多年冲突中值得纪念的和平一刻。
5“有些人认为足球攸关生死……”著名的足球运动员和教练比尔·香克利说:“我可以保证,足球比生死重要得多。”这听起来可能很滑稽,可是,只要想一想地球,我们就会意识到我们的星球的形状像足球一样。
