WAGs (or Wags) is an acronym1, used particularly by the British tabloid2 press, to describe the wives and girlfriends of high-profile football players, originally the England national football team. The term came into common use during the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The acronym has since been used by the media in other countries to describe the wives and girlfriends of sportsmen in general.

WAGs(有时也写作Wags)是一个缩略语,英国八卦报纸多用来指代明星足球球员的妻子和女朋友(wives and girlfriends),亦称“太太团”,最初特指英国国家足球队队员的妻子和女朋友。这个称呼在2006年世界杯期间开始广泛使用,之后其他国家的媒体多用WAGs来统称体育明星的“太太团”。

During the 2006 World Cup the press gave increasing coverage3 to the socialising and shopping activities of the English WAGs, who were based in the German town of Baden Baden. It was frequently suggested that England's exit from the tournament in the quarterfinals was a result of such distractions4.

2006年世界杯期间,英国球员“太太团”驻扎在德国小镇巴登-巴登,媒体对她们的社交和购物活动做了大量的报道。后来屡有传言说英格兰队在四分之一决赛中出局就是因为被“太太团”分了心。
