LearnAndRecord 2022-07-26

近日,Nike和NBA官方宣布禁止球员带打结式忍者发带(ninja-style headbands),原因是:unprofessional.




REPORT: Nike, NBA banning ninja-style headbands


The ninja-style headbands gained tons of popularity in the NBA's on-court fashion trends last season. However, fans won't be seeing them anymore in the upcoming season as Nike and the league have reportedly banned it.


ninja


来源日语,忍者,英文解释为“a person trained in traditional Japanese skills of fighting and moving quietly”。


headband


表示“头带,束发带(尤指运动时用以固定头发或吸汗)”,英文解释为“a strip of cloth worn around the head, especially to keep hair or sweat out of your eyes when playing sports”。



Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott confirmed the development when fans asked on Twitter if he will sport the ninja-style headbands once again. Scott isn't too happy with the decision as well and told fans to start a petition.


Philadelphia 76ers


The Philadelphia 76ers (also commonly known as the Sixers) are an American professional basketball team based in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. 费城76人,是一支位于美国宾夕法尼亚州费城的NBA篮球队。(Wikipedia)

sport


熟词僻义,sport作动词,表示“穿戴;装点”,英文解释为“to wear or be decorated with something”举个🌰:

Back in the 1950s he sported platform heels and hair down past his shoulders.

20世纪50年代,他那时穿厚底鞋,蓄着披肩长发。


《尼基塔》主演Maggie Q取消四年婚约一文中就有出现过:and Q was sporting a massive diamond on her ring finger.


be sporting也可以解释为“炫耀某物,卖弄某物”(to be wearing something or have something on your body and show it to people in a proud way),举个🌰:

KangKang was sporting a new camelhair coat.

康康得意地穿了一件新的驼绒大衣。



Aside from Scott, among the players who sported this look are New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday, Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox, new Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler and Los Angeles Clippers big man Montrezl Harrell.


其它球队


The New Orleans Pelicans are an American professional basketball team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. 新奥尔良鹈鹕,是一支位于美国路易斯安那州新奥尔良的NBA篮球队。


The Sacramento Kings are an American professional basketball team based in Sacramento, California. 萨克拉门托国王,是一支位于美国加利福尼亚州萨克拉门托的NBA篮球队。

guard


表示“(篮球的)后卫”,英文解释为“one of two players on a basketball team who is responsible for moving the ball to help their team gain points”。


big man


The center (C), also known as the five, or the big man,[citation needed] is one of the five positions in a regular basketball game. The center is normally the tallest player on the team, and often has a great deal of strength and body mass as well. 中锋,俗称第五人/五号位置(the five)或大个子(big man),是篮球比赛阵容中的一个位置;一般都由队中最高的球员担任,传统上强调篮下的防守以及篮板球的保护。(Wikipedia)



Seriously, though, it’s such a shame that Nike is taking away something that was so popular with both players and the fans. Fans loved seeing this new look last season, as the traditional headbands have begun to look stale. It’s also disappointing that the league is revoking the players' rights to wear them during games.


stale


1)表示“不再有趣的,没有新意的,乏味的”,英文解释为“not interesting or exciting any more”,如:stale jokes 老掉牙的笑话。


2)也可以指“(面包、蛋糕)不新鲜的,变味的”(bread or cake that is stale is no longer fresh or good to eat),如:stale cake 不新鲜的蛋糕;


3)表示“(空气)不新鲜的,污浊的”(air that is stale is not fresh or pleasant),如:the smell of stale smoke 污浊的烟味。



With their reasoning, we beg to question: what about the ninja-style headband looks unprofessional? Is it really all because of aesthetics?


aesthetics


aesthetics /iːsˈθɛtɪks/ 表示“美学;(尤指)审美观,美感”,英文解释为“the formal study of art, especially in relation to the idea of beauty”。



Plus, it doesn’t really affect any part of the game at all. There would be a case if they fall off easily and could be harmful to other players when they randomly spill on the floor. So far, however, this hasn’t happened and no players have complained.


Hopefully Scott can push his petition further so that the NBA will consider lifting the ban on such a popular trend.


lift the ban


lift作动词,表示“解除(某项规定或法规),撤销(限制)”,英文解释为to remove a rule or a law that says that something is not allowed”,如:lift a restriction/sanctions 解除限制/制裁,举个🌰:

At last they've lifted the ban on jeans at the club.

最终他们取消了在俱乐部禁止穿牛仔裤的规定。
