如何表达“冲刺”?
[ 2006-07-31 14:00 ]

近日,美国体坛爆料“百米飞人”贾斯廷·加特林涉嫌兴奋剂丑闻。美国时间7月29日晚,男子百米奥运会及世锦赛双料冠军、美国田径名将贾斯廷·加特林,被确认尿检呈阳性。虽然加特林的教练格拉汉姆声称加特林遭人“陷害”,但这位短跑选手前景极不乐观,有可能被处以终身禁赛。

请看外电相关报道:While his coach claimed Justin Gatlin's positive drug test was a result of sabotage, the leader of the World Anti-Doping Agency on Sunday called for the American sprinter to be banned for "up to life" if the results are confirmed.

在竞赛项目中,sprinter特指“短跑运动员”。Sprinter(短跑运动员)源于动词sprint(短距离全速奔跑,最后冲刺),如:

Bessie suddenly broke into a sprint.(贝西突然开始飞奔。)
The runners sprinted down the finishing straight.(赛跑运动员奋力向终点冲刺。)

日常生活中,我们也常用sprint来形容“某项活动进入到最后紧张的冲刺阶段”,如:to put on a final sprint to prepare for the 2008 Olympic Games(2008年奥运会的准备工作进入到最后冲刺阶段)。
