足球比賽中的“帽子”和“板凳”

看世界杯比賽別忘了學英語。足球比賽中的一些術語其實都是生活中常用的詞，只不過被賦予了不同的意義而已。今天，我們就為大家介紹其中的四個常用詞。

Bench refers to:

(a) The substitute players of a team

(b) In football stadiums, the sitting area for the staff and substitutes of a team

在足球比賽中，bench指球隊中的替補隊員，或者是球隊工作人員和替補隊員座位所在的區域。

Cap is the participation of a player in an international match, whether as a starter or substitute: one cap equals one international appearance; the term’s origin is from the United Kingdom, where players used to be given a cap for every international game they play.

Cap指足球運動員參加國際比賽的場次，首發和替補上場都算，一次國際比賽就算一個帽子。這個用法最早來源于英國，當時英國球員每參加一次國際比賽就會得到一頂帽子。

If a goalkeeper does not allow a goal until the end of the match, he is said to have kept a “clean sheet”

Clean sheet指整場比賽中守門員沒讓對方打進一個球，也就是“零失球”。

Lost the dressing room is a term which describes a manager in a situation where he has lost the confidence of players and is about to be fired; “dressing room” is an idiom which refers to the players of a team.

Lost the dressing room指全體隊員對主教練失去了信心，即將被炒魷魚，dressing room（更衣室）多指球隊的全體隊員。
