【大纪元2018年12月16日讯】美国美式足球著名的“海陆大赛”(Army-Navy game)2018年12月8日举行,这场经典大赛由西点陆军军官学校的“黑骑士”对战美国海军学院的“海官生”,从1890年首次举办至今已有上百年历史。川普是第10位前往观赛的在任总统。

欢迎和我们一起,透过美国总统川普的第一手讯息,认识川普、认识白宫、认识美国!

第119次的“海陆大赛”在宾夕法尼亚州费城的林肯金融体育场(Lincoln Financial Field)举行,这里正是超级杯费城老鹰队(Eagles)的主场。川普在空军一号上就预告了即将抵达的讯息。

▲中译:很荣幸能前往观赏今天的海陆大赛。就快到了,要降落啰!
● honor [ˋɑnɚ],名词,荣誉、名誉;动词,使增光,给…荣誉。
● Army-Navy game:每年的陆军(Army)与海军(Navy)比赛标志着美国大学橄榄球常规赛季的结束,以及由陆、海、空三个军官学校争夺“总司令杯”(CIC)的最后一场比赛。
陆军队名为“黑骑士”(Army Black Knights )也称 cadet [kəˋdɛt],原意为军校学生,候补军官、警官,见习生。海军队名为“海官生”(Navy Midshipmen),单数形 midshipman [ˋmɪd͵ʃɪpmən],指美国海军军官学校学生,军舰上受训的见习军官。

在实施志愿役的美国,成为一名保家卫国的军人是荣耀的象征。这场比赛由祷告及唱国歌开始,祷告词即写道:“这是唯一一个场上的每一位球员都愿意为观看比赛的人们付出生命的比赛”。

此外,由于这些学生毕业后都要服役,多不会成为专业运动员,因此球员的努力纯粹是出于对足球的热情以及对学校的荣誉,海陆大赛也被誉为“最纯净”(purest)的比赛。

1901年,时任美国总统老罗斯福(Theodore Roosevelt)首次前往海陆大赛,开启了三军统帅观赛的传统。二战期间,陆军队击败海军队拿下胜利后,远在太平洋前线作战的麦克阿瑟将军特别来电报祝贺,而他正是西点军校的著名校友。

同时,转播这场比赛的收益也相当可观,权利金高达1.5亿台币,收视率是全美大学联盟的前十名,再再都是美国人津津乐道的话题。

川普在2016年以准总统的身份现身,而在2018年,他是第10位亲临赛场的在任总统,这也充分展现出他对军人与运动赛事的重视。

在开赛之前,海军、陆军伞兵缓缓从天上降落,陆军展示了国旗与服役旗(service flags),海军则带着写有“受海洋锻造”(Forged by the Sea)与“惧怕山羊吧”(Fear the Goat)的旗帜(山羊是海军的吉祥物)。

每当一名伞兵完美落地,观众席就爆出阵阵欢呼。

川普与国防部长马提斯(Jim Mattis)都受到了两个军种球队的欢呼与喝采,军用喷射机与直升机从球场上方飞过,两边都用震耳欲聋的吼声席卷全场。

川普担任开赛抛硬币(coin toss)嘉宾,结果由海军队猜中硬币方向,选择开球场地。

如同先前的观赛总统,川普在中场时换边坐以示公平。在下半场时,他坐在海军中将卡特(Ted Carter Jr.)与海军部长斯宾塞(Richard V. Spencer)中间。

但是海军队出师不利,在陆军队的猛攻下一路苦战。最后陆军队以17比10胜出,拿下三连胜。此前陆军队已击败空军队,这也意味着保住了“总司令杯”。

事实上海军队并非等闲之辈,从2002年到2015年,海军队曾保有14连胜的纪录,一直到2016年才终结。

为了展现公平竞争与团结一心的精神,比赛结束后,球员会一起面对败方唱败方校歌,再面向胜方唱胜方校歌。

川普以赛事的精彩画面及推文祝贺西点军校获胜。


▲中译:能参加今天在费城举办的#海陆大战是我的荣幸。这是场我们的英雄们带来的伟大比赛。恭喜#西点陆军足球队赢得比赛!
● attend [əˋtɛnd],动词,出席、参加。

美国国歌《星条旗之歌》(The Star-Spangled Banner)一直是其国家精神所在,在大大小小的运动场上都有赛前唱国歌的传统,川普另外分享了两校合唱团高唱国歌的画面。

美国国歌译文:
O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
哦,你可看见,透过拂晓的一线曙光,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
我们如此骄傲地对着什么,发出欢呼的声浪?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
谁的宽条纹与明星,冒着一夜炮火,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
依然迎风招展,在我军碉堡上?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
火箭的红色强光,炸弹轰轰作响,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
经历黑夜,它们都是见证,国旗安然无恙。
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
你看星条旗不是还高高飘扬
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
在这自由国土,勇士的家乡?#
