分类: 体育英语
10月25日,中超联赛工作会议在河北香河足球基地召开。中国足球超级联赛有限公司正式成立,此外,确定2006赛季中超联赛赛程以及恢复联赛的升降级制度是本次会议的主要议题。据悉,2006年赛季将取消中超杯赛,并计划扩大足协杯参赛队数量,将考虑增加部分乙级队伍参赛。
请看报道:The relegation system will be restored during the 2006 new season while the Super League Cup will be abolished and more teams be invited to the CFA Cup. The relegation system was suspended last season while the Super League management was undergoing reforms in the wake of clubs boycott threat.
文中的relegation指的是“(足球队等)降级”,relegation system即为“降级制度”。Relegation的动词形式为relegate,可表示“把……降级或降职”、“交付”等。如:The local club has been relegated to the second division.(当地的俱乐部队已被降级编入已组。);He relegated much of the work to his assistant. (他把很多工作交付给了他的助手。)
