        ESP（English for Specific Purposes）為1990年代興起至今的英語教育觀念，強調英語學習內容應在各種專業領域下「言之有物」的實境文本，一般稱為專業英文。學習各種Content Area Reading、跨學科英文等，能彌補以往英語教學脫離生活應用的缺點。書林旗下品牌簡單出版於2005年起曾出版「ESP知識英文」系列書籍，主題有美術、宗教、理財等等，廣受好評。

 

國立臺灣師範大學英語學系於2015年開始研發ESP教材，並獲教育部計畫支持，由英文系教授及專業教師共同編寫各種主題，並經過實際教學場景應用，涵蓋音樂、運動、時尚等多樣領域。本書針對台灣學生學英語的需求，編寫主題短文，並設計簡單練習、關鍵字彙註釋及參考中譯，能幫助學生快速吸收、輕鬆理解內容，盼能啟發讀者用英文探索知識，並從中獲得學習的樂趣。

01 Introduction

An Introduction to Sports

 

 

The term “sports” has a broad meaning. In its most generic sense, sports are athletic games or contests put on to entertain players and spectators. Sports such as hunting, fishing, running, and swimming are derived from the essential chores of primitive life. Other sports such as riding, shooting, javelin and archery have their roots in the requirements of early military life. And yet even further, other sports such as boxing, wrestling and jumping came from the challenges that grew out of ordinary human interaction.

 

Every known culture has had sports in one form or another, although the exact origins of many specific sports are unclear. Ancient Egyptians swam, raced, wrestled and had ball games, and ancient Greeks held large sports festivals. One such festival was the Olympic Games, attracting athletes from the far corners of city-states. Much like modern day dog races or F1 racing, the Greeks (and later the Romans) held competitions that used animals, or men behind machines; such competitions required talents more than mere physical prowess.

 

In modern times, industrialized societies expanded their conviction that sports were not just useful, but an essential, character-building pursuit of man. Sports that were traditionally played in specific regions or areas became important national sports (baseball for the US, bullfighting for Spain, sumo for Japan, etc.), and the rebirth of the Olympic Games in 1896 helped focus the world’s fixation on both sports and athleticism.

Throughout the twentieth century, sports have become increasingly global. The world has seen the creation of global competitions like the Olympic Games, and competitions celebrating one single sport such as the World Cup. However, politics have continued to encroach on this realm of sports, as we saw the 1980 boycott of the Moscow games by Western nations, and the retaliatory boycott by Soviet-bloc states of the 1984 Olympic Games. There is no doubt that the entanglement of sports and politics will continue to agitate the world.
