Parkour[pɑrˈkuər] 跑酷(跑酷者叫tracers, 法语是traceurs, traceuse)(Traceurs in Lisses re-painting a wall, repairing shoe scuff marks from parkour. scuff mark 刮擦印: A mark on something caused by something else scuffing against it. scuff Caused by scraping, usually with one's feet. Someone left scuff marks in the sand.) is a training discipline using movement that developed from military obstacle course training. Practitioners aim to get from one point to another in a complex environment, without assistive equipment and in the fastest and most efficient way possible. Parkour includes running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, rolling, quadrupedal movement, and other movements as deemed most suitable for the situation. Parkour's development from military training gives it some aspects of a non-combative martial art. Parkour is an activity that can be practiced alone or with others, and is usually - but not exclusively - carried out in urban spaces. Parkour involves seeing one's environment in a new way, and imagining the potentialities for navigating it by movement around, across, through, over and under its features. Developed in France, primarily by Raymond Belle, his son David Belle and his group of friends, the self-styled Yamakasi, during the late 1980s. Parkour became popular in the late 1990s and 2000s through films, documentaries, and advertisements featuring the Yamakasi.
网坛坏小子: Australian young gun Thanasis Kokkinakis has been embroiled in another on-court controversy after nearly coming to blows with(to have a physical fight or a serious argument with someone: Demonstrators nearly came to blows with the police during the march. Do you think the two countries will come to blows over this?) a rival at the Cincinnati Masters. Kokkinakis and opponent Ryan Harrison needed to be separated 分开 after the Adelaide-born player reacted angrily to a number of sledges ( sledge 雪橇(sled, sleigh) I. an object used for travelling over snow and ice with long, narrow strips of wood or metal under it instead of wheels.

(chiefly cricket, Australia) To verbally insult or abuse an opponent in order to distract them (considered unsportsmanlike). III. sledgehammer. ) from the American during their qualifying match. According to journalist Ben Rothenberg, the argument began at the end of the first set when the 19-year-old Aussie was "enraged" by the umpire overruling two double faults on break points. That exchange was then followed by an alleged verbal attack by Harrison. The two then nearly came to blows at the changover( a complete change from one system or method to another: The changeover to the new taxation system has created a lot of problems.) when Kokkinakis reportedly told Harrison: "Don't sledge me mate!" "Don't sledge me, it's not cool." The umpire was then forced to separate the duo as tempers threatened to boilover 脾气爆发 into a physical confrontation. Then, when Kokkinakis left the court for a bathroom break, the American was heard to shout out after him: "Your whole crew is just so cool." And that wasn't the end of Harrison's attack with the world no.124 threatening to "deck that kid" for his apparent role in the infamous Nick Kyrgios sledge aimed at two-time major winner Stan Wawrinka. "He's 19. If he wants to get into it, I will bury him," Harrison reportedly said. "Wawrinka should've decked 打趴下, 打倒, 干翻 Kyrgios( To knock someone to the floor, especially with a single punch. Wow, did you see her deck that guy who pinched her? ), and I should deck that kid." The umpire again needed to step in between the pair at the end of the match as Kokkinakis prevailed in three sets 7-5, 3-6, 7-6. Kyrgios made world-wide headlines when he verbally sprayed Wawrinka with a sledge referencing a romantic tryst( spray I. 喷涂 (transitive) To project a liquid in a dispersive manner.

"Kokkinakis banged your girlfriend," Kyrgios said at the World Tour Masters in Canada. "Sorry to tell you that mate." Nick Kyrgios delivers brutal sledge to Stan Wawrinka claiming Thanasi Kokkinakis slept with his girlfriend: NICK Kyrgios has taken his bad boy antics to a new level, delivering a stunning on-court sledge to Stan Wawrinka by telling the Swiss star fellow Australian player Thanasi Kokkinakis slept with his girlfriend. Shortly after losing the first set in Thursday's match at the Montreal Masters, Kyrgios was heard delivering this scathing comment to the two-time grand slam winner and world No.5. It is believed Kyrgios' comment was is in reference to 19-year-old Croatian player Donna Vekic, whom both Wawrinka and Kokkinakis have been linked to. Asked about the comment in a post-match interview Kyrgios said: "He (Wawrinka) was getting a bit lippy ( (informal) talking to someone in a rude way. Talking back, in a cheeky manner. ) with me, kind of in the heat of the moment 一时头脑发热. I don't know, I just said it." Kyrgios and Wawrinka exchanged words in the point before the sledge and the Aussie was also upset at the performance of a line judge. Controversial tennis star Nick Kyrgios has avoided immediate further punishment for his lewd sledge aimed at Stan Wawrinka on court in Montreal -- but he will have to be on his best behavior. "This incident was egregious ( [ɪˈɡridʒəs] 眨眼的. 刺眼的. extremely bad. Exceptional, conspicuous, outstanding, most usually in a negative fashion. The student has made egregious errors on the examination. ) and reflected poorly on our sport," said Gayle Bradshaw, the ATP's executive vice president responsible for rules and competition. "Nick has expressed regret, and the best result would be that he learns a lesson from this incident and that he understands he is responsible to the Tour and to fellow players for both his actions and his words. Tennis badboy Nick Kyrgios has been handed a suspended ban and fine by the ATP for his lurid ([ˈlurɪd] I. full of unpleasant or sexual details that are meant to shock or interest people. a lurid description/story/headline. II. 艳丽的. 俗艳的. 大红的. 土气的. 俗气的. a lurid color is very bright in an ugly way. ) verbal attack on Stan Wawrinka. In a statement on Monday, the ATP said it found 20-year-old Kyrgios guilty of "aggravated behaviour" and served him with a 28-day ban and $US25,000 ($A34,280) fine. But both punishments will be waived 判罚取消 if Kyrgios avoids any fines for verbal or physical abuse at ATP events over the next six months. "Once the player has met those conditions the penalties will be formally dismissed," the ATP confirmed. "If the conditions are not met the penalties will be invoked 生效 after any appeals process is exhausted." "It is with these factors in mind I feel he should have the opportunity to 'earn' his way out of additional sanctions."
网球打假球(故意输球, 让球, 打假球)(tanker and tanking, match-fixing, game is rigged, scripted. the result had been pre-ordained. throw a fight): Stop the tennis 'tankers' (tanking: To purposefully lose a match, because of poor mental game or others. Or, to simply purposefully lose one unnecessary set, so as to focus energy and attention on the final and match-deciding set.): It is known in tennis as tanking. Other sports call it match-fixing, and although there is no suggestion of illegal activity, there is a sense that all is not as it appears in the world of professional tennis. After last year's Wimbledon semi-final victory by Venus Williams over her sister Serena, the claims that the game was rigged simply won't go away. Even former Wimbledon champions John McEnroe and Pat Cash questioned the ease 轻松 with which Venus breezed past 轻松过关, 并不血刃 her younger sister to reach the final. Those suspicions became accusations
earlier this year when Franklin Davis, the girls' cousin, and Diane
Tucker, a former lover of their father Richard, claimed that the result had been pre-ordained(
[ˌpri:ɔːrˈdeɪnd] 命中注定的. 天注定的. decide or determine (an outcome or course
of action) beforehand. something that is preordained is certain to
happen and cannot be changed, especially because it has been decided by
God. already decided or planned by God or by fate. Is everything we do preordained? preordained to do something They seemed preordained to meet. predestined certain to happen because God or another force has decided that it will.). If it is true - and the Williams family maintains a united front of denial - then it will go down in history as the greatest example of tanking in tennis history. But suspicions about tanking seems to be more prevalent in tennis than those queueing down Church Road
in Wimbledon would ever imagine. Sportsmail can exclusively reveal
today that: A top 10 player demanded £140,000 to play in Moscow but then
announced he 'wouldn't be staying all week'. A leading contender for this year's title picked up a £530,000 appearance fee 露脸费, 亮相费
in Doha before losing in the first round. Yevgeny Kafelnikov was
accused of tanking in last year's German Open. A former world No.1 lost in seven successive first-round matches after collecting the appearance fees. Players regularly fix exhibition matches(An exhibition game 表演赛, 热身赛 (also known as a demonstration, a friendly, a warmup match, a scrimmage, or a preparation match, depending at least in part on the sport) is a sporting event whose prize money and impact on the team's rankings is either zero or otherwise greatly reduced.). A player admitted that he only took part in an Olympic tournament so that he could get tickets to other events. A top-ranked doubles partnership threw a match to catch an earlier flight home(throw a game 故意输球 Fig. to lose a game on purpose. I

guys who would throw a game if they got enough money to do it. throw a fight Fig. to lose a boxing match on purpose. I just know that Wilbur didn't throw that fight. The guy would never throw a fight.).
Eugene Scott, who directs more than 100 tennis tournaments and
publishes a respected tennis magazine, believes that there are three
main types of tanking. He said: 'There is tanking from boredom, anger or just plain financial gain. Some might even call it fraud. There are so many tournaments, players aren't always disappointed to lose. Down a break point, they'll hit for the line 边线. If the ball lands out 出线, 界外(The line judges are there to watch to see if balls land out of the court. ),
well, there's always another tournament. 'The only events that count
for players are the Grand Slams and the Nine Masters tournaments. The
other events are like practice.' Scott has direct knowledge of a recent and revealing example ( revealing making interesting or significant information known, especially about a person's attitude or character. "a revealing radio interview". a. 暴漏的. (of an item of clothing) allowing more of the wearer's body to be seen than is usual. "a very revealing dress". ) of tanking for financial benefit. As director of the Kremlin Cup in Moscow, Scott began negotiations to get a top 10 player to commit to his tournament. With £700,000 in prize-money at stake - £100,000 of it earmarked for the winner - the player's agent demanded a guaranteed sum of no less than £140,000. Scott agreed to that - only for the agent to inform him that the star player had no intention of sticking around the whole week. He planned to tank in the first or second round to spend time with his girlfriend. 'Silly me,' said Scott. 'I suggested that under the circumstances there should be some reduction in the guarantee. But no deal. "It's one hundred and forty thou, then a tank and adios", I was told. I was irate. I refused. 'The player entered another tournament instead, where I presume he got the deal he demanded. He played a match or two, then took off with his girl.' Scott's story demonstrates just how deeply embedded 根深蒂固, 枝繁叶茂 tanking is in the tennis culture. The practice has become systemic, with agents and tournaments colluding with 串通一气 players. Tanking through boredom involved the big-name players not trying and simply going through the motions. Kafelnikov, a former French Open and Australian Open champion and an Olympic gold medallist, has confessed he has made such a fortune - more than £11m in prize-money alone - that it is difficult for him to get motivated. Last year at the German Open, after he swooned ( swoon I. to be extremely excited and impressed by someone who you like or admire. II. old-fashioned to become unconscious and fall to the ground. v. to be extremely excited and impressed by someone who you like or admire. The entire audience seemed to swoon when he appeared on stage. ) in straight sets, locker-room critics accused him of tanking. Scott does not condone this lack of professionalism. He is only stating a truth 叙述事实 that
most tennis fans are not aware of. Out of 70 or so tournaments on the
annual calendar, players care about a mere handful - and even at these
events, tanking isn't unknown.
Butch Buchholz, former executive director of the Association of Tennis
Professionals and now a prominent tournament director, has admitted:
'I've seen players get fed up and tank matches at Wimbledon.' Last year at the Australian Open, Marat Safin became the first player in history to be found guilty of not giving his best effort at a Grand Slam - in effect, tanking by not seeming to try. Down two sets to love, he stopped returning his opponent's serve and started blocking it into the ground. His penalty was a wrist slap(a slap on the wrist 打手警告 a gentle warning or light punishment I got a slap on the wrist for arriving late again. Usage notes: sometimes used in the form slap someone on the wrist: Instead of firing him, she only slapped him on the wrist.) - a £1,400 fine. The paltry ( [ˈpɔ:ltri] I. a paltry amount or number is very small. II. not very good, important, or valuable. ) nature of the penalty and the fact that Safin was not suspended reflects an assumption by tennis authorities that a player who gives up during a match is hurting only himself. Scott conceded that in doubles, some players go on court with no intention of winning, only a desire to lose as quickly as possible. 'You'll see guys tanking to catch a plane and get to the next town to qualify for a tournament.' At a recent Wimbledon championship, Jim McManus, an ATP player representative, arrived at an outside court where a doubles match was beginning. He called one of the players, who had already been knocked out of 出局 the singles, over to the sideline and told him what time his plane left Heathrow for Italy. The doubles match was over well before check-in time. In the 1990 US Open, Russian Alexander Volkov upset Stefan Edberg in the first round. Reporters flocked to his Press conference to ask whether he fancied his chances ( fancy sb's chances UK to think that someone is likely to succeed: I don't fancy his chances of getting his novel published. Believe that one (or someone else) is likely to be successful: we fancy our chances in the replay. ) in the coming rounds. Volkov said that he was under contract to play club matches that weekend for a tennis team in Germany. It may have been coincidence, but he lost in the next round and promptly flew off to Europe. Nick Kyrgios has denied tanking after his tumultuous Wimbledon campaign ended in more controversy and drama. Admitting to feeling the strain of "external" pressures, Kyrgios clearly made no effort to return serve in the third game of the second set in his rollercoaster 7-5 6-1 6-7 (7-9) 7-6 (8-6) fourth-round loss to classy( I. stylish and sophisticated. something that is classy is attractive, fashionable, and of excellent quality. a classy hotel/ski resort. "the hotel is classy but relaxed" II.

The tennis enigma let serves pass and nonchalantly dumped others in the net, prompting a jeers and boos from disgruntled spectators at the All England Club's Show Court 2. Kyrgios could be fined up to $US20,000 under grand slam "best effort" rules, but fended off accusations he stopped trying during an intense post-match press conference."Of course I tried," he said. "There was a lot of ups and downs. It was a tough, tough time, especially when he's not missing any balls.
"I'm getting frustrated myself. I feel as if I'm playing not how I
should be playing. I'm angry at myself." Kyrgios also claimed Gasquet
"was serving too good", an explanation not accepted by British journalists who grilled the Australian so relentlessly an official mediator had to intervene. Despite dropping the second set in 24 minutes, Kyrgios showed grit to take the third and hold two set points in the fourth-set tiebreaker. But lightning didn't strike twice 事不过三 ( Lightning never strikes (the same place) twice. Prov. The same highly unlikely thing never happens to the same person twice. Jill:
I'm scared to drive ever since that truck hit my car. Alan: Don't
worry. Lightning never strikes the same place twice. It's strange, but I

strikes the same place twice.) on the very same court that Kyrgios saved a grand slam-record nine match points and recovered from two sets down last year to conquer Gasquet en route to the quarter-finals. Kyrgios coughed up his 10th double-fault on set point, then netted a backhand,
before Gasquet prevailed after two hours and 54 minutes, ending
Australia's singles participation for another year." It hurts," he said.
"You never want to go out of a grand slam. I feel like I definitely
could have done better." The 20-year-old entered Monday's encounter with hopes of even winning the title after taking out ( take out someone to go with someone to a restaurant, theater, performance, etc. and pay for everything: Our boss took us out for dinner. take out something/someone (eliminate someone from competition) 淘汰 to remove something or someone: Take out the seeds before you slice the papaya. ) world No.8 Milos Raonic with a scintillating ( [ˈsɪntɪˌleɪtɪŋ] very impressive, interesting, or clever. a scintillating conversation/performance. scintillate

His march to the last 16, following last year's heroics and another quarter-final charge at the Australian Open, had tennis greats Mats Wilander, John McEnroe and John Newcombe agreeing it would be crazy to write the young sensation off. But in a largely forgettable 不值得一提的 performance, Kyrgios fought with his players' box, received another code violation 违规, 违纪 for swearing and cursed himself as "so dumb, so dumb" before finally crashing out. Despite playing some sublime tennis to reach the last 16, Kyrgios's tournament has been laced with controversy with much of the focus centred on his on-court conduct after a series of clashes with umpires and officials. The boom youngster said he felt misunderstood 被误会, 被误解, 不被理解 and was also dealing with personal issues. It all took its toll.
"There's a lot of things going on at the moment that aren't focusing on
actual tennis. There's just a lot of stuff going on," he said. He chided himself throughout Monday's encounter, but also vented on his courtside box. "Thanks, you guys, thanks. I asked for one thing. One thing," he said, pointing to his support staff. Kyrgios then received a code violation and could be heard telling someone in the crowd to "just leave". His manager John Morris, now also coaching the firebrand ( I. a person who is passionate about a particular cause, typically inciting change and taking radical action. "a political firebrand".

strong feelings, especially about politics, and wants to change things

A piece of burning wood. ) after he split with Todd Larkham on the eve of the championships, did just that midway through the second set. At one point, Kyrgios sought a hug from a ball boy and it seemed to help as he rallied 重整旗鼓 to take the third set, staving off two match points ( stave off to stop something from happening. We're still trying to stave off a trade war with the U.S. stave in to break something inward. The side of the car was staved in from the accident. ) in the process. He let out a mighty roar in celebration as Gasquet obliterated ( obliterate [əˈblɪtəˌreɪt] I. to destroy something completely. The bombing raid has obliterated whole villages.

at fourth-seeded French Open champion Stan Wawrinka on Wednesday. On a
day of missed opportunities, Kyrgios and American Madison Keys also blew 挥霍, 浪费 four match points in a three-set second-round mixed doubles defeat.
关于假摔(dive/diving足球假摔, simulation(官方用语), flopping/flop/flopper篮球假摔): Diving假摔, officially known as simulation, is the act of faking a foul or injury(= feign a injury)
in soccer. Its supporters call it strategy, its detractors call it
cheap (and the players that practice it worse), but a soccer player is
well served in knowing how to draw the referee's ire to the opposition.
In association football, diving (or simulation, the term used by FIFA) is an attempt by a player to gain an unfair advantage by diving to the ground and possibly feigning an injury, to appear as if a foul has been committed. Dives are often used to exaggerate the amount of contact present in a challenge. Deciding on whether a player has dived is often very subjective, and one of the most controversial aspects of football discussion. Players do this so they can receive free kicks or penalty kicks,
which can provide scoring opportunities, or so the opposing player
receives a yellow or red card, giving their own team an advantage. milk a foul骗取判罚, 假摔. "The dictator and his cronies had milked their country of somewhere between $5 billion and $10 billion" (Russell Watson). That is another thing. Soccer players try and milk fouls all the time.

That's a diving( [of a player] deliberately fall when challenged in order to deceive the referee into awarding a foul. 假摔). flopper: 假摔者 A soccer term for a player who throws themselves on the ground whenever they feel a defender on their back to try and get a foul called. Commonly used practice in the mexican and south american soccer leagues. Number

Diving is also known as flopping, simulation (the term used by FIFA), and Schwalbe (German for swallow).): Melbourne Victory forward Kosta Barbarouses has savaged Sydney FC opponent Sebastian Ryall for what he calls a blatant 无耻的, 肆无忌惮的 A-League simulation表演(I.

qualities of another thing or of pretending to feel or think something.
II. [countable/uncountable] something that produces the features of a

Ryall earned a controversial penalty at home on Saturday night, which Sydney converted 兑换, 兑现, 踢进, 进球了(转变成比分), and will face the FFA disciplinary committee this week over the incident. Barbarouses has no doubts that it was a dive and he hopes karma will be unkind to Ryall. He also wants video reviews brought in and full-time referees to help improve the standard of officiating in A-League games. But he saved his strongest comments for Ryall. Asked if players had some responsibility in such circumstances, Barbarouses replied: "Absolutely. There are going to be instances in the box where you feel a slight nudge感觉被推了一下(a little push that you give to someone or something with a part of your body, especially your elbow.) or you've been clipped a little bit被斜撞了一下, where you're going to fall down to try to make the decision easier. "But that was a blatant simulation from my eyes and that has to be stopped as well. "You lose a bit of respect for him and his reaction wasn't great ... hopefully karma will come around. Barbarouses added that it felt like a loss after the match and that the Victory were hard done by(feel hard done-by 遭到不公正对待, 遭遇不公平 if you feel hard done-by, you feel you have been treated unfairly. used, cheated, dejected. King should feel a bit hard done by after being replaced in the team. I'm feeling hard done-by because I've been looking after the kids all week while Steve's been out every night. ). "I'd rather go on and win the league with decisions going against us than having everything handed to us." Barbarouses had some sympathy for the A-League referees, saying everyone makes mistakes. "He doesn't get the chance to have a second look at it and he probably can't reverse his decision. There are a lot of positives to take out of that performance," Barbarouses said of the Sydney draw. "We have all the confidence in the world going into this game."篮球假摔: In basketball, a flop 假摔 is an intentional fall by a player after little or no physical contact by an opposing player in order to draw a personal foul call by an official against the opponent. The move is sometimes called acting, as in "acting as if he was fouled犯规". Because it is inherently designed to deceive the official, flopping is generally considered to be unsportsmanlike. Nonetheless, it is widely practiced and even perfected
by many professional players. Flopping effectively is not easy to do,
primarily because drawing contact can sometimes result in the opposite
effect—a foul called on the defensive player—when too much contact is drawn or if the player has not positioned himself perfectly. Additionally, even if no foul is called on either player, by falling to the floor, the flopping defensive player will have taken himself out of position to provide any further defensive防守方 opposition on the play, thus potentially allowing the offense 进攻方 to score easily. To consistently draw offensive fouls on opponents takes good body control and a great deal of practice. Players generally become better at flopping as their careers progress.
