閱讀每日新聞,對積累英語詞彙,學習地道的英語表達是大有裨益的。下面是霹靂舞成奧運會比賽項目,網友都在@孫紅雷(雙語新聞)的內容。
據媒體報導,國際奧委會執委會7日召開會議,同意2024年巴黎奧運會增設霹靂舞等四個大項。
在增設的四個大項中,衝浪、滑板、攀巖三項已經是東京奧運會正式比賽項目。霹靂舞則是首次進入奧運會。而拳擊和舉重中的小項則會相應減少。
Competitive breakdancing will be the sparkling new attraction at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
This was confirmed on Monday by the International Olympic Committee as part of plans by the president, Thomas Bach, to make the Games 「more gender balanced, more youthful and more urban」. Surfing, skateboarding and sport climbing, which are part of next year’s Tokyo Games, will also be included at Paris 2024.
To make room for the four new sports, Olympic officials made significant cuts to other sports, including boxing and weightlifting.
此前,2018年布宜諾斯艾利斯青奧會上,霹靂舞曾作為正式比賽項目有過「驚豔」亮相,設置男單、女單、男女混合等項目,運動員在比賽中Battle對決,逐輪晉級,並產生最後的冠軍。
The idea was proposed two years ago after trials at the 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, Argentina, proved a success.
At the youth games, the contestants faced each other in one-on-one dance-offs.
霹靂舞是街舞的一種,英文中常被稱為Breaking或breakdance,其展現形式有很多,包括頭轉、背轉、單手撐、手轉等,動作炫酷、節奏感強,尤其深受青年人喜愛。
Key elements in breaking, as participants prefer to call it, include top rocks — typically a competitor’s introductory dance moves — footwork, power moves and freezes. Power moves are explosive displays such as spins, while freezes are when a performer sticks a pose.
消息一出,網友紛紛@孫紅雷,一起感受一下孫紅雷的霹靂舞……
據新華社報導,精簡辦賽、性別平等和關注年輕人的需求,成為巴黎奧運會正式比賽項目的三大特點。
相比於東京奧運會,2024年巴黎奧運會將在辦賽規模上進一步縮減。參賽運動員的名額從東京奧運會的11092人減少到10500。項目總數上,東京奧運會擁有339個小項,巴黎奧運會將減少10個。
The overall athlete quota will also be reduced to 10,500, down around 500 from those expected in Tokyo. While some sports substituted in some events within their existing event numbers, the medal events had actually gone down from 339 to 329.
性別平等也是此次巴黎奧運會項目調整的一大特點,巴黎奧運會將首次實現男女運動員各佔50%。
Paris 2024 will also see exactly 50 percent male and female participation in the Olympic sports programme for the first time.
