答案
The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race
Oxford and Cambridge are the oldest and most famous universities in Britain, / and there has always been a great rivalry between the two institutions. / But the most public competition between the two is the annual Boat Race. /
Both universities are located near rivers, / and rowing is a popular and prestigious sport. / The very first race took place in 1829, / when a Cambridge student challenged a school-friend studying at Oxford. / Ever since, the defeated team from the previous year challenges the opposition to a rematch. / The only times when no Boat Races took place / were during the First and Second World Wars. /
The race is between two crews of eight rowers, / each led by a pilot, who steers and gives commands to the rowers. / Since 1836, the rowing eights have worn different shades of blue / —Oxford wear dark blue and Cambridge light blue. / As a result, the rowers are known as the Blues. /
解析
牛津剑桥划船赛
牛津和剑桥这两所历史悠久的英国一流大学向来竞争激烈,但最为公开的竞争是年度划船比赛。两校之间的划船比赛始于1829年,当时是一名剑桥学生向其在牛津就读的朋友提出挑战。从那以后,前一年比赛落败的那个队都会向对手再次挑战。这么多年来,“牛津一剑桥划船赛”除了因为两次世界大战中断过之外,从来不曾取消过一次!
