体育词汇—世界杯词汇:黄牌 任意球
世界杯赛场上擂鼓齐鸣，场外的你我不管是不是球迷，这一刻，总会把目光投向飞扬的足球……如若看过昨晚韩国队对多哥的比赛，想必您不会对下面这句话感到陌生：
But seconds after Togo captain 1 Jean-Paul Abalo was 2 sent off 3 for getting his second yellow card, Lee Chun-soo sent a free 4 kick 5 over the defensive 6 wall and past Togo goalkeeper Kossi Agassa for the equalizer in the 54th minute.
这句话里，有好几个足球术语：yellow card（黄牌）；free kick（任意球）；goalkeeper（守门员）；equalizer （拉平比分的得分）。看懂这几个词，这段话的意思就很好理解了，即：多哥队的队长阿巴洛吃了第二张黄牌被罚出场，随后李天秀发出的任意球越过防守的人墙，穿过多哥队守门员落入球网，韩国队在比赛的第54分钟把比分扳平。
对于前三个词，想必您已甚为熟悉，这里着重谈一下equalizer（足球比赛中扳平比分的得分）。Equalizer源于动词equalize（使一致；使平等），如to equalize job opportunities（使工作机会均等）。在足球比赛中，equalize指“打成平局”，如报道中的话也可改写为：South Korean 7 equalized with Togo in the 54th minute.
值得一提的是：与equalize（打成平局）相比，draw更常用；而goalkeeper（守门员）也可用goalie来表示。
