  trail: (比赛中)落后
[ 2005-11-23 10:10 ]

北京时间11月22日,马刺队在客场击败国王,取得4连胜。国王队本就今非昔比,再加上射手斯托亚科维奇缺阵,虽然是主场作战,也难挡卫冕冠军马刺的铁骑。

请看外电报道中的这样一句话:Trailing by 17 early in the fourth quarter, the Kings finally got going. Mike Bibby led the comeback with 14 of his 33 points in the fourth.

Trail一词有“追踪”、“拖在后面”的意思,如:trail a fugitive(追踪一个在逃犯)。

在体育比赛中,trail可用来指比分落后于对方,而“落后(…分)”则常用trail by…来表达。

例如:Manchester United trailed by two goals in the second half. (曼联队下半场落后两球。);The team trailed the league leader by four games.(这支队落后于榜首的队四场。)
