现在是奥林匹克男子花样滑冰比赛。出场的是俄罗斯选手，他穿着略显黯淡的服装，随着一曲古典音乐的节拍滑了起来。他表演了一些很漂亮的跳跃动作，但是乐感不是很强。 评委们的打分如下:英国5.8;俄罗斯5.9;美国5.5;爱尔兰6.0。 下一位上场的是美国选手，他穿着闪闪发光的星条服装，伴奏的音乐是摇滚乐。他的表现赢得了观众的掌声，但是技术不如俄罗斯选手。他犯了一些小错误而且在一次转体的时候偏离了中心。但是，从艺术角度来讲，他的表演更令人满意。 评委们的打分是:英国5.8;俄罗斯5.5;美国5.9;爱尔兰6.0。 最后上场的是爱尔兰选手，他穿着一件破旧的风雨衣，溜冰鞋系在威灵顿长统靴上。他刚走到冰场上,就滑了一跤，碰得鼻子开始流血。他努力站了起来，踉踉跄跄地走了几步，又滑倒了。整个表演时间他一直在那里跌倒爬起，爬起跌倒，最后手脚并用爬出了冰场，衣冠不整，还流着血，一片狼藉。 评委们的打分如下:英国0.0;俄罗斯0.0;美国0.0;爱尔兰6.0。 其他三个评委转向爱尔兰评委，不约而同地谴责道："这么糟糕的表演你怎么能给6.0分呢？” 爱尔兰评委回答说:"你们别忘了，那里的确很滑啊。” Score It is the Olympic men’s figure skating. Out comes the Russian competitor, he skates around to some classical music in a slightly dull costume, performs some excellent leaps but without any great artistic feel for the music. The Judges’ scores read： Britain 5.8； Russia 5.9； United States 5.5； Ireland 6.0. Next comes the American competitor in a sparkling stars and stripes costume, skating to some rock and roll music. He gets the crowd clapping, but is not technically so good as the Russian. He makes some slight mistakes and loses the center during a spin. But artistically, it is a more satisfying performance. The Judges’ scores read： Britain 5.8； Russia 5.5； United States 5.9； Ireland 6.0. Finally out comes the Irish competitor wearing a tatty old donkey jacket, with his skates tied over his wellies. He reaches the ice, trips straight away and bangs his nose which starts bleeding. He tries to get up, staggers a few paces then slips again. He spends his entire “routine” getting up then falling over again. Finally he crawls off the ice a tattered and bleeding mess. The Judges' scores read： Britain 0.0； Russia 0.0； United States 0.0； Ireland 6.0. The other 3 judges turn to the Irish judge and demand in unison, “How the hell can you give that mess 6.0?” To which the Irish judge replies, “You’ve got to remember, it’s damn slippery out there.” |
