 打破記錄
[ 2008-08-15 09:15 ]
8月13日，劉春紅在北京奧運(yùn)會舉重女子69公斤級決賽中獲得金牌，并以抓舉128公斤、挺舉158公斤和總成績286公斤打破該項(xiàng)目三項(xiàng)世界紀(jì)錄。
請看新華網(wǎng)的報(bào)道：
She succeeded the second attempt of 125kg, bettering the previous score by two kilos, and sheshattered the minute-old mark with a lift of 128kg in the third. She succeeded in her first attempt for 145kg and then asked a record-breaking 149kg and made a good lift. In her last attempt, she jerked 158kg and totaled 286kg, rewriting the world record of jerk, previously owned by Russian Zarema Kasaeva, as well as the total, which was newly set by herself.
她在第二次試舉中成功舉起了125公斤的重量，比上一次成績提高了2公斤，在第三次試舉中又以128公斤的重量打破了幾分鐘前的紀(jì)錄。她第一把便成功舉起145公斤的重量，接著要了破記錄的149公斤。在最后一次試舉中，她以挺舉158公斤改寫了由俄羅斯運(yùn)動員卡薩耶娃保持的世界記錄，并重新創(chuàng)造了總成績?yōu)?86公斤的世界紀(jì)錄。
Liu claimed her previous Olympic title four years ago also by smashing three world records.
劉春紅在上一屆奧運(yùn)會中也是以打破三項(xiàng)世界紀(jì)錄的佳績奪冠的。
在上述報(bào)道中，我們可以看到“打破記錄”的多種表達(dá)方式。我們通常用到的是break the record, 所以上述報(bào)道中提到了record-breaking 149kg，record-breaking就是形容詞，破紀(jì)錄的（成績）。類似的表達(dá)還有shatter the mark，smash the record, shatter和smash原是“打碎、粉碎”的意思，shatter/ smash the record由此引申為“打破紀(jì)錄”的意思。第二段報(bào)道中提到的rewrite the world record(改寫世界記錄)也是相同的意思；而創(chuàng)造世界記錄一般用set the record。
