NBA球队名字的历史Ⅰ等

Hi!各位同学,sunny English很久都没跟大家见面了,应广大同学的强烈要求,sunny又重出江湖,给大家带来不一-样的英语。让大家在娱乐中学习,在欢笑中进步。我一定会竭尽全力做到最好,也请同学们多多给Sunny姐姐提些宝贵的意见。

现在,新一轮的NBA赛正进行得如火如荼。火箭、湖人、爵士……各支球队厮杀激烈,但许多同学都被那些奇怪的队名弄得晕头转向,纷纷写信来询问有关NBA各支球队名字的由来。神通广大的Sunny经过多方打探,终于拿到了第一手的资料,现在就来看看吧:

Have VOU ever wondered how Your favorite NBA team received its famous name? All NBA teams have an interesting story or a history be-hind their names.some of the names reflect the city’s culture or history,othors came from previ-ous owners and many were selected through“Name the Team”contests.

For teams like Los Angeles and Utah.the names were not always a reflection of the city,Even though Los Angeles has no lakes. the Lak―er name has been a city treasure for almost 40years.Before going Los Angeles.the team O-riginated in Minneapolis.Minnesota,ln 1948.team officials chose the name for its direct rela―tionship to the State’S motto.“The Land Of10.000 Lakes.”The team name name went d.tieafter moving to Los Angeles in 1960.

Because Utah’s team originated in New Or-leans.Louisiana。it was called the Jazz.in 1974.New Urleans club Officials chose the name to represent the city for its reputation aS the“jazzcapital of the world” The name stayed with the team even after finding a new home in Salt Lake City,Utah in 1979.

你想知道你喜欢的那些著名的NBA球队的名字是怎样得来的吗?在所有的NBA球队的名字背后都有一个有趣的故事或一段历史。一些名字反映了该城市的文化、历史,而另外一些球队是继承了以往的球队名字,而这些名字大多数是通过“为球队取名”这样的比赛来决定的。

例如,洛杉矶和犹他这些篮球队,它们的名称并不能反映一个城市。尽管洛杉矶境内没有湖泊,但是“湖人”这个名称已成为这个城市将近40年的瑰宝。在迁到洛杉矶之前,这支队伍创建于明尼苏达州的明尼阿波利斯城市。1948年,球队的官员们据明尼苏达州的题词――“万湖之地”而选择了这个与之有直接联系的名字。这个队名在1960年迁入洛杉矶后也再没有改变过。

犹他爵士队来自于路易斯安那的新奥尔良,因此被称为爵士队。1974年,新奥尔良俱乐部官员也选定此名来代表这个拥有“爵士乐之都”美誉之称的城市。1979年该队搬到了犹他州盐湖城的新家,但这个名字仍然被继续沿用。

黑白颠倒、黑白分明、黑白混淆……黑与白一直都是一对难分难解的“弟兄”。英语中黑与白的用法有时候跟汉语的用法完全不同,下面我们就来看几个例子吧,顺便学习学习东西方文化的差异。

Ox and cow

A teacher asked her class, “Is the sentence ‘The ox and the cow are in the fields’correct?”

Most of the children said,“Yes,that,is right!”

But only one little boy said,“No,it is not correct. The lady must be mentioned first.”

公牛和母牛

老师问学生:句子“公牛和母牛都在田野上”语法对不对?

大多数孩子说:“是的,是正确的!”

但是只有一个小男孩说:“不对,这不正确,应该‘女士优先’。”

When he came home from school his grandma mel him at the door.

“Was school all right?”she asked.“Did you get along all right? did you cry?”

“Cry?”John、asked.“No,I Didn’t cry,but the teacher did!”

六岁的约翰娇生惯养。他的父亲知道这一点,可他的祖父母仍然宠着他,这孩子几乎寸步不离他的祖母,他想要什么不是哭,就是闹。他第一天上学才离开祖母的怀抱。

约翰放学了,他奶奶在门口他并问道:“学校怎么样?你过得好吗? 哭了没有?”“哭?”约翰问,“不,我没哭, 可老师哭了。”
