体操好看，但要想看懂不容易。什么腾身回环倒立转体360度、侧空翻二周转体270度，很头疼有木有？今天我们就教大家如何用英语说出这些难度系数爆表的体操术语。



体操（Gymnastics）在特指赛事时也叫竞技艺术体操（Competitive artistic gymnastics）。它包括多个项目，男子女子略有不同。
男子体操项目
自由体操 Floor Exercise
鞍马 Pommel Horse
吊环 Still Rings
跳马 Vault
双杠 Parallel Bars
单杠 Horizontal Bar
全能 All-Around

女子体操项目
自由体操 Floor Exercise
鞍马 Vault
高低杠 Uneven Bars
平衡木 Balance Beam
全能 All-Around
下面先教大家几个简单的术语。
▌空翻 somersault / salto / flip
前空翻 forward salto
后空翻 backward salto
侧空翻 sideward salto
一个空翻就是salto，两个空翻是double salto，三个空翻是triple salto，以此类推。
▌手翻 handspring
前手翻 handspring
后手翻 back handspring
同理，一个前手翻就是handspring，两个前手翻就是double handspring。
▌转体 twist / turn
一次转体是360度，如果是转了180°就是1/2 twist，转了720°就是2 twists，以此类推。
▌姿势 position
直体 stretched / straight
屈体 piked
团身 tucked

好，现在来组词吧。
double salto backward stretched with 1/2 turn (180°)
后空翻两周直体180度转体
salto backward tucked with 1/1 twist (360°)
后空翻屈体360度转体

下面让奥运冠军陈一冰来示范一个动作：
看出来没，这个动作叫做后手翻直体两周转体900度。用英语说就是：
double back handspring with 2-1/2 twists (900°)。

本届女子全能王美国选手Simone Biles示范动作分解：

1: Miss Biles turns her body around and then prepares to spring off her hands.
拜尔斯翻转身体，准备用手起跳。
2: She continues the movement, which is known as a back handspring.
继续完成后手翻。
3: Using her incredible calf strength, the gymnast lands on her toes.
用惊人的小腿力量完成落地，脚尖着地。
4 and 5: Miss Biles lifts her arms and rebounds off the floor into a tight arch.
拜尔斯举起手臂再次跳起，身体在空中呈绷紧的弓形。
6: As she rises, she thrusts her hips upwards to create rotation.
起跳时，她臀部向上用力以完成旋转。
7-9: While flying through the air, she changes her body shape as little as possible in order to be given full credit by the judges.
在空中她的身体尽量不变形，争取拿到全部分数。

10: It looks as though she is standing in mid-air as she begins her second flip.
第二跳开始时，她似乎站在空中。
11-14: Wrapping one arm across her body, Miss Biles creates a small imbalance so that she can twist 180 degrees before her landing.
拜尔斯单手抱臂制造一种失衡，以完成落地前的180度翻转。
15: She brings her arms out again to stop herself from twisting any further.
手臂再度伸开以停止翻转。
16: She keeps her body upright, using her arms for balance, and bends her knees to absorb the energy from the somersault.
她让身体保持直立，用手臂来平衡，屈膝以减少翻转的冲击。
17: In the typical landing position for a gymnast, Miss Biles raises her arms to signify that she has finished the skill.
拜尔斯举起手臂以示动作完成，这是体操运动员最常见的落地姿势。
