英超賽場(chǎng)近日上演曼徹斯特德比大戰(zhàn),結(jié)果曼城主場(chǎng)1比0戰(zhàn)勝曼聯(lián),取得德比四連勝。體育比賽的報(bào)道中,我們經(jīng)常會(huì)看到“德比”這個(gè)詞,它到底什么來(lái)歷,又是指什么呢?
In many countries the term local derby, or simply just derby means a sporting fixture between two teams from the same town, city or region, particularly in association football.
在很多國(guó)家,本地德比(local derby)或者德比(derby)都指來(lái)自同一個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)、城市或地區(qū)的兩支隊(duì)伍之間的體育比賽,尤多見(jiàn)于足球聯(lián)賽。
A soccer game between two rival teams is also sometimes referred to as a "derby." A derby is the soccer equivalent of the sort of game that is called a "crosstown rivalry" in North American sports.
兩支相互競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的球隊(duì)之間的足球比賽有時(shí)也叫做德比。足球比賽中的德比相當(dāng)于北美體育比賽中的“同城競(jìng)技”。
The phrase most likely originated from The Derby, a horse race in England, founded by the 12th Earl of Derby in 1780, since at least as early as 1840 'derby' has been used as a noun in English to denote any kind of sporting contest.
德比這個(gè)說(shuō)法很有可能來(lái)源于1780年第12世德比伯爵在英格蘭開(kāi)創(chuàng)的賽馬活動(dòng)The Derby。早在1840年時(shí),德比一詞就在英語(yǔ)里用作名詞來(lái)指代任何一種體育比賽。
