I am always amazed when I hear people saying that sport creates goodwill between the
nations, and that if only the common peoples of the world could meet one another at
football or cricket, they would have no inclination to meet on the battlefield.
我总是惊愕不已。当我听人们说体育运动可创造国家之间的友谊,还说各国民众若在足球
场或板球场上交锋,就不愿在战场上残杀的时候,
Even if one didn't know from concrete examples (the 1936 Olympic Games, for instance)
that international sporting contests lead to orgies of hatred, one could deduce it from
general principles.
一个人即使不能从具体的事例(例如 1936 年的奥林匹克运动会)了解到国际运动比赛会导
致疯狂的仇恨,也可以从常理中推断出结论。
Nearly all the sports practised nowadays are competitive.
现在开展的体育运动几乎都是竞争性的。
You play to win, and the game has little meaning unless you do your utmost to win.
参加比赛就是为了取胜。如果不拚命去赢,比赛就没有什么意义了。
On the village green, where you pick up sides and no feeling of local patriotism is
involved, it is possible to play simply for the fun and exercise: but as soon as the
question of prestige arises, as soon as you feel that you and some larger unit will be
disgraced if you lose, the most savage combative instincts are aroused.
在乡间的草坪上,当你随意组成两个队,并且不涉及任何地方情绪时,那才可能是单纯的
为了娱乐和锻炼而进行比赛。可是一量涉及到荣誉问题,一旦你想到你和某一团体会因为
你输而丢脸时,那么最野蛮的争斗天性便会激发起来。
Anyone who has played even in a school football match knows this.
即使是仅仅参加过学校足球赛的人也有种体会。
At the international level, sport is frankly mimic warfare.
在国际比赛中,体育简直是一场模拟战争。
But the significant thing is not the behaviour of the players but the attitude of the
spectators: and, behind the spectators, of the nations who work themselves into furies
over these absurd contests, and seriously believe -- at any rate for short periods --
that running, jumping and kicking a ball are tests of national virtue.
但是,要紧的还不是运动员的行为,而是观众的态度,以及观众身后各个国家的态度。面
对着这些荒唐的比赛,参赛的各个国家会如痴如狂,甚至煞有介事地相信 -- 至少在短期
内如此 -- 跑跑、跳跳、踢踢球是对一个民族品德素质的检验。
