做为访问学者,我先后在美国几个体育科研机构工作过一段时间。刚到美国时,美国体育界的一位朋友热情地告诉我:“你若了解美国人的生活习惯,就应首先了解美国的体育。”究其原因,他说:“原因很多,还是由你自己去观察和判断吧。不过,我可以先告诉你一些事实:假如美国目前没有如此众多的体育活动,那么,电视节目就会减少三分之一。路上行驶的汽车会减少五分之一……。”对此,当时我并没十分重视,以为这多半是出于职业的偏见。随着对美国了解的增多,我终于形成这样一个印象:体育确实是美国现实生活中一个很具吸引力的环节。从东海岸的迈阿密到西海岸的西雅图,人们都能看到许多身着运动服的男女老幼. As a visiting scholar, I worked for several sports science institutes in the United States for some time. When I first arrived in the United States, a friend in the U.S. sports community told me warmly: “If you know the American way of life, you should first understand American sports.” The reason, he said: “There are many reasons, or are you But let me tell you a few facts: If the United States does not have so many sports at the moment, the number of television shows will drop by one-third, and the number of cars on the road will be reduced by a fifth ... ... ”At this time, I did not pay much attention to this and thought that this was mostly a career bias. With the increase of understanding of the United States, I finally came to the impression that sport is indeed an attractive link in the real life of the United States. From Miami on the east coast to Seattle on the west coast, many men, women and children in sportswear are seen.
