"penalty kick" 是足球(football/soccer)领域的专业术语,中文译为:点球;十二码罚球。
在足球比赛中,当防守方球员在己方禁区(penalty area)内故意犯规(如手球、绊倒进攻球员等),或在禁区内出现严重违反规则的行为时,裁判会判给进攻方一次直接射门得分的机会——即从点球点(penalty spot,距离球门12码/约11米处)踢出的免费球(free kick),这就是 "penalty kick"。
作为名词短语,"penalty kick" 可在句中作主语、宾语或补语,常见搭配的动词有:
用 take / shoot / take/ kick a penalty kick(注意:"take" 更强调“执行”,"shoot" 更强调“射门动作”)。
Example: Harry Kane took the penalty kick and scored the winning goal.(哈里·凯恩主罚点球,打入制胜球。)
Example: She shot the penalty kick straight into the top corner of the net.(她将点球直接射入球门上角。)
用 award a penalty kick (to sb)(裁判的动作)。
Example: The referee awarded a penalty kick to Liverpool after the defender handled the ball.(防守球员手球后,裁判判给利物浦一个点球。)
用 save a penalty kick(守门员的动作)。
Example: The goalkeeper saved two penalty kicks in the shootout.(守门员在点球大战中扑出了两个点球。)
用 miss a penalty kick。
Example: He missed the penalty kick in the final minute, costing his team the game.(他在最后一分钟罚丢点球,导致球队输球。)
复数形式:penalty kicks(如“点球大战”是 "penalty shootout",而非 "penalty kicks shootout");
引申用法:偶尔会在其他领域比喻“关键的一次机会”,但主要还是足球术语。
总结:"penalty kick" 是足球中极具决定性的规则,记住核心场景(禁区犯规→点球)和常见动词搭配,就能准确使用啦!
