Shooting-Olympic sport since 1896
射击-1896年成为奥运会项目)

  Olympic history abounds1 with tales of athletes who overcame crippling adversity to win gold medals, but Karoly Takacs' comeback may be the best. Takacs was part of Hungary's world-champion pistol-shooting team in 1938 when an army grenade exploded in his right hand. Ten years later, he won the first two golds in rapid-fire pistol - after teaching himself to shoot left-handed.

  奥运史册记载了众多运动员历经磨难,顽强拼搏,最终夺取奥运金牌的事迹。然而在这些数不胜数的感人故事中,卡乐里·塔卡克斯(Karoly Takacs)的归来也许应算是最耐人寻味的。在1938年的世界射击锦标赛上,塔卡克斯用右手射击,帮助他所代表的匈牙利国家队赢得了世界射击锦标赛的手枪团体金牌。 但是在比赛后不久爆发的战争中,一枚手榴弹残忍地夺去了他的右手。可就在人们为塔卡克斯感到惋惜、认为他再也不可能重返赛场时,因伤阔别赛场10年的塔卡克斯通过自学左手射击,用左手首次夺得了两块奥运速射手枪射击金牌。

  In a sport where the bullseye looks about the size of the full stop at the end of this sentence, a sport where shooters compete amid a cacophony2 of noise and still concentrate on firing between heartbeats, Takacs' achievement tests the imagination.

  在一种充满各种刺耳噪音且靶心看上去只有句号大小的体育运动中,射击选手们仍能聚精会神地专注于在每次心跳瞬间弯曲手指、叩响扳机。塔卡克斯的成功超出了人们的想象。

  From just three shooting events at the 1896 Olympic Games to 17 today, the sport has grown steadily3. In part this leap can be ascribed to advances in the technology of firearms and equipment, which have led to constant changes in the shooting competition. But it can also be ascribed to the passion shooters have for their sport.

  从1896年奥运会射击比赛的仅仅3个项目,到如今的17个项目,射击运动的发展是稳健踏实的。人们认为先进的枪械和装备制作技术是促成这种飞跃的部分原因。的确,伴随着这些技术,射击竞赛不断地变化着。然而,选手们对射击运动的激情也推动了其快速发展。
