About Archery (Olympic sport since 1900) 
射箭概述(1900年成为奥运会正式比赛项目)


 


  Anyone familiar with the legend of Robin 1 Hood 2 knows archery competitions date back at least to mediaeval times. Indeed, today’s archers 3 still honour the fabled 4 outlaw 5. The term "Robin Hood" now refers to splitting the shaft 6 of an arrow already in the target with another arrow.
  熟悉罗宾汉传奇故事的人们都知道,射箭比赛的历史至少可以追溯到中世纪。事实上,今天的射箭运动员们仍然尊敬那些传说中的绿林好汉。“罗宾汉”一词在现代英语中的意思是:射出一支箭,将已经插在靶子上的另一支箭的箭杆剖为两半。


  The equipment has crept forward in its technology since Robin and his merry men had the run of Sherwood Forest, but the sport of archery remains 7 essentially 8 unchanged. A recurve bow coated in fibreglass has become standard, and arrows made of aluminium 9 and carbon graphite can travel more than 240km/h, but the most important requirements are straightforward 10: steady hands, strong shoulders, flexible muscles, sharp eyes and nerves of steel.
  与罗宾汉和他的手下在舍伍德森林中占山为王的时代相比,射箭运动的器材装备在技术上已经逐渐进步了不少,但是这项运动在本质上并没有改变。覆盖着玻璃纤维,向内凹进的弓已经成为了标准用具,用铝和石墨制成的箭时速可高达240公里。然而,最关键的要求还是那么简单:稳健的双手、强有力的肩膀、柔韧的肌肉、犀利的眼睛和钢铁一般的神经。


  Archery was a feature of the Olympic Games several times from 1900 to 1920, but then disappeared for more than 50 years. It reappeared at Munich in 1972 and has remained a fixture 11 ever since.  
  在1900年至1920年期间,射箭曾一度是奥运会上的一大亮点,但此后它在50多年的时间当中都销声匿迹。1972年,射箭项目重新出现在慕尼黑奥运会上,并且从此一直是奥运会的固定比赛项目。
