“体能测试”惹争议
近日，全国游泳冠军赛暨东京奥运会达标赛在青岛举行。傅园慧、余贺新、王简嘉禾等多位游泳名将因体能测试不合格而无缘决赛。其中，王简嘉禾预赛成绩排名第一，打破了亚洲纪录。
今天，全国击剑冠军赛南京站中，两名世界冠军孙一文、林声同样因体能测试成绩不佳止步16强。
所以，体能测试（Physical-Fitness Test）测什么？BMI、坐位体前屈、30 m 冲刺、垂直纵跳、引体向上、3000 m 等等。

Controversy Erupting Over Chinese Swimming's New Physical-Fitness Testing Which Determines Finalists
Swimming World Magazine
Apparently, producing a world-class time is not enough for officials of Chinese Swimming. Through the first few days of the Chinese National Championships, several athletes have posted quick performances in the preliminary heats, but then were absent from the final for which they qualified. Why? Officials have implemented a system that calls for athletes to excel in physical-fitness testing, and if athletes do not meet specific levels, they are denied their spot in the final.
According to a report in the Sixth Tone, athletes took part in testing in 10 events prior to the start of the National Champs, with the results of those tests determining whether swimmers would advance beyond the preliminary heats if their times warranted qualification. Among the tests were pullups, bench press, squats and a 30-meter sprint. Already at Nationals, Wang Jianjiahe and Yu Hexin were denied spots in their finals. All Wang did was set an Asian record in the 1500 freestyle (15:45.59), while Yu set a Chinese record in the 50 freestyle (21.79).
Not surprising, the new rules are not sitting well with the athletes.
“It’s not like we’re overlooking the importance of physical strength,” Wang told media at Nationals. “I think deciding the top eight based on physical tests is somewhat deficient.”
The physical-fitness testing will be used at future competitions, and has also been adopted in other sports, such as track and field.
In preliminary action on Monday, Yan Zibei and Liu Xiang put together impressive efforts to lead their respective events. Yan delivered a time of 58.73 to top qualifying in the men’s 100 breaststroke while Liu clocked a mark of 24.20 to pave the way in the women's 50 freestyle. Ye Shiwen did not advance to the final of the 400 individual medley, an event she won at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

显然，对于中国游泳的官员来说，创造世界级的成绩是不够的。在前几天的全国游泳冠军赛中，有几名运动员在预赛中表现突出，但随后却缺席了决赛。为什么会这样？官方实施了一项制度，要求运动员在体能测试中表现优异，如果运动员没有达到特定的水平，就会被取消参加决赛的资格。
time
乍一看，这里的producing a world-class time，“时间”很突兀，说不通。实际上，指的是比赛的用时，（完成赛跑或竞赛项目的）所用时间，英文解释为“how long sb takes to run a race or complete an event”，解释为“成绩”可能更明了，举个🌰：
Her time for the marathon was just under three hours.

post
熟词僻义，表示“（运动员，参赛队）取得（成绩），创造（记录）”，英文解释为“(of a player or team) achieve or record (a particular score or result)”举个🌰：

According to a report in the Sixth Tone, athletes took part in testing in 10 events prior to the start of the National Champs, with the results of those tests determining whether swimmers would advance beyond the preliminary heats if their times warranted qualification.

All Wang did was set an Asian record in the 1500 freestyle (15:45.59), while Yu set a Chinese record in the 50 freestyle (21.79).
根据第六音（Sixth Tone）的报道，运动员在全国冠军赛开始前参加了10项测试，这些测试的结果将决定，如果他们的游泳成绩合格，是否能够在预赛后晋级。其中，测试项目包括引体向上（pullups），卧推（bench press），深蹲（squats）和30米短跑（sprint）。王简嘉禾和余贺新已无缘决赛。王简嘉禾在1500米自由泳预赛中打破了亚洲纪录（15:45.59），而余贺新则在50米自由泳预赛中打破了全国纪录（21.79秒）。
