Football is a very old game,The ancient Romans,Chinese,
and Mexicans all played games where men kicked a ball,For the
Romans it was a war game,in which two teams of soldiers would
use whatever force was necessary to get the ball across either of
two defended lines,The Roman Empire has long since vanished,
but the violent pastime of the armies has continued---and can still
be quite violent,
In the Middle Ages,some kind of,football” was popular in
Italy,France,England,and Scotland,but it was such a dangerous
game that kings actually banned it,and for 300 years it suffered
greatly from official disapproval,Nevertheless,in 1613,the King of
England permitted himself to be entertained in an English village
with,music and a football match,” and,a few years later,the
English dictator Oliver Cromwell played football when he was at
university,
Football
Turn to p.19,and listen to the text,
By the end of the 18th century,however,the
game was in real danger of dying out in Western
Europe,Curiously enough,it was the English,public”
school that saved it from extinction,The rich young
men at these schools (which were in fact private
rather than public) had nowhere to hunt,fish,ride or
otherwise use up their energies; all they could do
outside school hours was kick a ball in the schools’
open spaces,They played the game that they had
often seen played on village greens,the game that
kings had banned,Gradually each school began to
evolve its own special style and rules,
Football
Football
By the time of Queen Victoria,enthusiastic
schoolboys were writing out rules for what had once
been no more than violent military or village fun,They
also took the game with them to the universities,But
more rules were needed so that people who had played
very different kinds of football at school could play
together successfully at university,This was how the
Football Association came into being,One public school,
however,refused to co-operate,Its delegates objected
to the new universal game,This school---Rugby---left the
new association to play its own game with its own oval-
shaped ball that could be carried as well as kicked,In
this way,football and rugby were born and went their
separate ways,
In 1863,the Football Association approve a game that outlawed
carrying and kept the ball at men’s feet,The game still had a long
way to go,however,before it would be the football watched by
millions around the world on television during the World Cup,Whole
teams would rush back and forward on the field with the ball kept
close at their feet; there were no passes or long kicks,and some of
the rules used in those days were still nearer rugby than football,By
the early 1870s,however,the fast,exciting,and open game of
modern Association football was beginning to appear,The goal
became standard,with a hard crossbar instead of a long piece of
tape,and the goalkeeper was the only person permitted to use
hands to play,In the process,football changed irrevocably from a
gentleman’s weekend exercise to the greatest spectator sport in the
history of the human race,

足球是一项很古老的运动。古罗马人、中国人和墨西哥人都
玩踢球的游戏。对罗马人而言足球是一场战争游戏，在这场游戏
中，两支士兵队用任何可能的暴力使球突破对方的防线。罗马帝
国早已灰飞烟灭，但这种军营的暴力游戏仍在继续 —— 并且还相
当凶暴。
中世纪，有一种“足球”盛行于意大利、法兰西、英格兰和
苏格兰，但由于这种游戏很危险，所以国王们下令将它禁止了，
长达 300年足球一直遭受官方的强烈反对。然而,1613年英格兰
国王自己却破例在乡下欣赏“音乐和足球比赛”。数年后，英国
独裁者奥立佛 ?克伦威尔在大学期间就踢自己玩起了足球。
足球
然而，到了 18世纪末，足球在西欧真正濒临消失的危险。
奇怪的是，英国“公学”将它从灭绝中救了回来。这些公学（其
实是私立学校）里富有的年轻人无处狩猎、钓鱼、骑马或用别的
什么来消耗体力；课外他们能做的就是在学校空地上踢球。他们
玩的就是他们经常在乡下草地上看到的游戏，也就是被国王禁止
的那种游戏。渐渐地每个学校都开始形成自己独特的风格和规定。
到了维多利亚时代，热情的中学生们开始为过去一直属于
军队或乡村的粗野游戏起草规则。他们还把这种游戏带到了大学。
为了让在中学踢法各异的足球运动得以在大学顺利进行，需要确
立更多的规则。这样，足协便应运而生。然而有一所公学拒绝合
作。该校代表反对这种新的大众化的游戏。这所学校 —— Rugby
（“英式橄榄球” rugby即源自该校名 —— 译注） —— 抛开新协
会而按自己的方式用一种椭圆形球来玩，这种球可以用脚踢，也
可以用手拿。于是，足球和橄榄球就此诞生并分道扬镳了。
足球
1863年足协批准了一项规定：禁止用手持球, 只能用脚控
球 。 这种足球和今天千百万人通过电视收看的世界杯赛的足球还
有很大的差别 。 那时整个球队可以脚下带球在场上前后乱跑, 没
有过人, 也没有长传, 而且那时的有些规则更像橄榄球的而不像
足球的 。 到 19世纪 70年代初, 快速, 刺激和野外的英式足球开始
出现 。 球门标准化了, 坚硬的球门横木取代了一根长带子, 而守
门员是唯一能用手持球的人 。 在这个过程中, 足球不可避免地在
人类历史上从一项绅士的周末运动发展成为最伟大的群众运动 。
