Podcast Number 2 — Australian Rules Football
播客第二期：澳式足球
Hi. Do you like sport? Australians, and particularly those who live in Melbourne, are crazy about sport. In Melbourne you can watch a large range of competitive sports. For example, I have been to see Australian rules football, rugby league, rugby union, cricket, basketball, hockey, Taekwondo, golf, tennis, car racing, motorcycle racing and athletics, just to name those which I have attended here in Melbourne. Now most cities in the world have lots of sports events, but in Melbourne we attend these events in large numbers. For example, the Grand Final of the Australian Rules Football competition in September of each year has around 100,000 sports fans attend the match. And we have the sports ground big enough to hold such a large crowd, the Melbourne Cricket Ground (popularly called 'The MCG', or 'The G'). In this podcast, I would like to talk about Australian Rules Football.
大家好。你们喜欢体育运动吗？澳大利亚人，尤其是生活在墨尔本的澳大利亚人，非常痴迷于体育运动。在墨尔本可以观看到很多种竞技体育比赛。比如，我在墨尔本看过澳式足球、橄榄球大联盟、橄榄球联合会、板球、篮球、曲棍球、跆拳道、高尔夫、网球、赛车、摩托车比赛和田径等各种各样的比赛，这些只是我列举的一些我在墨尔本看过的比赛。世界上大多数城市都会举办多种体育赛事，但是墨尔本的体育赛事总能吸引到大批观众。举例来说，每年九月举行的澳式足球总决赛会吸引约10万名体育迷到现场观看比赛。我们有足以容纳这么多观众的大型运动场，比如墨尔本板球中心（通常被称作The MCG或The G）。在本期播客中，我将介绍一下澳式足球。
Australian Rules Football (called 'Footy' by fans all around Australia) is around 150 years old. It is played with an oval shaped ball by two teams, each with 18 players. The team which kicks the most goals and points wins the game. It is a very physical game and it's main characteristics are speed, strong tackling, long kicking (up to 70 metres), long handballs (up to 30 metres) and high marks. A 'mark' is when someone catches a kicked ball.
澳式足球（澳大利亚球迷通常称之为footy）距今已有约150年的历史。澳式足球是两个球队用椭圆形球进行的比赛，每队18名球员。进最多球、获得最多分的球队获胜。澳式足球身体对抗激烈，主要特点是速度、强势抢断、长传（最远70米）、长距离手球（最远30米）和高跳接球。“接球”是指球员接住被踢出的球。
