Common spoken English at sports events

1. On your mark, ready, set, go!

In the 100-meter trapeze battle, before the gun goes off, you will usually hear these words, which mean something similar to our little ones. "Ready, run!" I heard in physical education class. The most taboo thing here is that seeing athletes from other countries running away will feel that it affects the status of athletes from your own country. However, it is said that this is also a kind of psychological warfare, commonly used among experts.

2. Anderson just scored again.

The most common way to win in a game is to rely on scores. The word used in spoken language is score, and the form of the question is " what's the score?" This word also extends to life. When you hear good news from others, you can yell score!

3. It was a tie game.

In some games, it may end in a draw, such as football games. If someone asks about the result of last night’s game, you can Express it this way.

4. Foul! ref! foul!

In addition to athletes and people watching the game, there is also a very special group of people, that is, referees. The English name for referees is referee. Sometimes the emphasis is on the second letter r, but it is rare to hear fans shouting it so completely during games, so it is usually shortened to ref. Foul means foul, so the meaning of the whole sentence is very clear, "Foul! Referee!"

5. That sucks!

Watching the game sometimes makes my blood boil, but Sometimes you will get angry because of team members' mistakes. At this time, the must-have phrase for venting is oh man, that sucks! If you see a teammate who is not up to par, please try to use less swear words and use more "ok" words. Venting terms.

6. Theres no "I" in team, but theres "I" in win.

Michael Jordan is a legendary star in the American NBA. He represented the United States in 1984 and 1992. In the Olympic Games, his national team was called the dream team because they were all superstars. There’s no I in team emphasizes the selfless sportsmanship, but Jordan’s words indicate that as a main member of a team competitive event, he should have a higher goal, which is to win the game, whether he is alone or as a team.

7. Faster, higher, stronger.

The Olympic motto "Faster, higher, stronger" encourages athletes to continue to participate in sports, strive for progress and pursuit Self-breakthrough. The original text is the ancient Latin Citius, Altius, Fortius, which was first used around 1890 by Henri Didon (Dominican priest), a friend of Gubertin and a teacher at Arcueil College in Paris. When the class students went to the outdoor sports field to participate in sports for the first time, he used this password to encourage the students. These three words gave Gubertan a deep impression and experience, and he decided to adopt them for the International Olympic Games. When the Seventh Olympic Games were held in Antwerp in 1920, they officially appeared in the Olympic Games at the same time as the five-ring flag.
