"Tear ’ em apart ! .... Kill the fool ! .... Murder the referee(裁判)!"
These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made , they may seem innocent enough. But let’ s not kid ourselves . They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. Volumes have been written about the way word affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotations(含义)may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term "opponent" as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.
The dictionary meaning of the term "opponent" is "adversary"; "enemy"; "one who opposes your interests. "Thus, when a player meets an opponent , he or she may tend to every action no matter how gross , may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player’ s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough . The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T - shirt and then exclaimed, "Are they wet enough now?"
In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences the such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a play er reacting to his opponent’ s intentional and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior.
Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated(提升)the game to the level where it belongs, thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term "opponent" with" associate" could be an ideal way to start.
The dictionary meaning of the term "associate" is "colleague" ;"friend" ;" companion." Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term "associate" rather than "opponent". [br] Harsh words are spoken during games because the players ______.
选项
A、are too eager to win
B、treat their rivals as enemies
C、are usually short- tempered and easily offended
D、cannot afford to be polite in fierce competitions
答案
B
解析
这是一道细节推理题。文章开头提到了一些常见的粗话,并指出这些讲粗话的行为是因为某些词的含义的误导。第三段以一个特殊的词“opponent”为例,分析了体育比赛中不当行为的原因是因为“opponent”一词的含义是“敌人”、“对手”,因此“当一名选手遇到他的对手,他会把他看成是敌人”。(Thus,when a player meets an opponent,he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy)因此B项“把他们的对手当成敌人”正确。
