英語(yǔ)六級(jí)必讀美文的欣賞：敢沖敢搶橄欖球

　　To the uninitiated, rugby is a game in which a bunch of powerfully built men throw themselves at one another in pursuit of an oval ball. In fact, this ancestor of modernAmerican and Canadian football can seem more like an organized brawl than a highly technical sport with a complex set of rules. Apart from its sometimes chaotic demeanor, rugby is also unusual among modern sports in that its origins can be traced back to a single, seminal event.

　　在外行的眼中，橄欖球賽只不過(guò)是一大群身材健壯的男人相互沖撞推擠，為了一顆橢圓形的球你爭(zhēng)我?jiàn)Z的比賽。事實(shí)上，這個(gè)現(xiàn)代美國(guó)和加拿大地區(qū)足球的始祖，看起來(lái)更像是一場(chǎng)有組織的爭(zhēng)吵，而不像是遵循復(fù)雜規(guī)則、講究高度技巧的運(yùn)動(dòng)。 與其他現(xiàn)代運(yùn)動(dòng)相比較，橄欖球的不尋常之處，除了屢見(jiàn)不鮮的混亂場(chǎng)面之外，還在于它的起源，它可以追溯到某 重要的事件。

　　In 1823, during a soccer game at the prestigious Rugby School in central England, one of the players impulsively picked up the ball and ran with it. The way soccer was played in those days, William Webb Ellis rash action was practically suicidal. But his novel approach was taken up by other students, who went on to develop a new style of football. Known as Rugby football, it mainly involved throwing and running with the ball rather than kicking it.
