今日剛出爐熱騰騰的不才翻譯作品 Why Fifa's altitude ban is the height of stupidity 為什麼國際足總的高海拔禁令蠢到極點 原文: http://tinyurl.com/33odmh 翻譯: http://tinyurl.com/37nnl5 全文就不貼上來了 不過其中有一段與阿根廷有關: ---- Altitude has been an issue for more than 40 years in South America, with continental powerhouses Argentina and Brazil regularly complaining about the hazards of playing on pitches where oxygen is a rare commodity. Between 1973 and 2005, for example, Argentina was winless in Bolivia, even though it won two World Cups and two Copa Ame'ricas in the period, and coaches and players regularly blamed the shortage of oxygen for their bad performances. In the nineties, Argentine coach Daniel Passarella became the laughing stock of the nation when he said his side lost with a horrible performance in Quito because "the ball doesn't turn in the altitude". 高海拔已經是南美洲存在了四十年以上的問題，這塊大陸上的兩大強權阿根廷與巴西一直 在抱怨稀薄的氧氣對球員在場上踢球時所產生的危害。舉例來說，從 1973年至 2005年間 ，儘管在這段期間內阿根廷隊贏得了兩次世界盃與兩次美洲盃，但他們在玻利維亞卻沒有 贏過任何一場比賽，教練與球員們紛紛將他們不佳的表現歸咎於氧氣不足。在九零年代， 阿根廷隊教練帕薩雷拉（Daniel Passarella）說他的隊伍在基多（Quito，厄瓜多首都） 以一種糟糕的表現輸球是由於「球在高海拔處不會旋轉」，這讓他成為了全國的笑柄。 ---- 我只是想問 帕薩雷拉當主教練的時候真的講過這句話啊? --
