這兩日，“群毆”一不小心竟成了最熱關(guān)鍵字。中國國奧隊一場本不會引起英國媒體關(guān)注的歐洲拉練賽，因為“群毆”而“榮登”英國各大報紙頭版頭條。且看外電如何形容綠茵場上的“群毆”：

England Football Association (FA) officials are to investigate how a match between China's Olympic team and Queen's Park Rangers ended with a Chinese player hospitalized.

Police were called after the game at Rangers' training ground in west London Wednesday was abandoned by Premier League referee Dermot Gallacher in the second half following a mass brawl in which China's Zheng Tao was knocked unconscious.

報道說，由于歐洲媒體的足夠“重視”，英足總將介入綠茵場上毆斗事件，徹底查清群毆原委。

由報道可知，“群毆”可用“mass brawl”來表達。在此，mass指“大眾的、人多的”，而brawl則特指“混雜的爭吵或打群架”。此外，也有外電用“wild braw”來形容這場“群毆”。
