在刚刚结束的世界杯淘汰赛中,内马尔表现出色,一粒进球,一次助攻,帮助巴西顺利淘汰墨西哥。
作为巴西队个人能力十分出色的队员,比赛中常常遭到对手的针对甚至侵犯。而内马尔摔倒,翻滚,痛苦的神色却遭到质疑。
早在上届世界杯,内马尔摔倒就引起过争议:
Annoying Neymar must stop diving.
diving!
没错,你没看错!
你想到的画面是不是这样?
那你就只知其一,不知其二了。
我们来看下diving的另一个含义:
diving is an attempt by a player to gain an unfair advantage by falling to the ground and possibly feigning an injury, to give the impression that a foul has been committed.
“diving”在英文中还可以表示运动员为了让裁判判罚对手犯规,而故意摔倒在地上,假装受伤。
diving则是我们通常说的“假摔”。对方并没碰到,球员就跳起来倒在地上,简直和跳水一般,实在是太形象了。
