“跳水”运动员——内马尔到底是个什么梗？
在刚刚结束的世界杯淘汰赛中，内马尔表现出色，一粒进球，一次助攻，帮助巴西顺利淘汰墨西哥。作为巴西队个人能力十分出色的队员，比赛中常常遭到对手的针对甚至侵犯。而内马尔摔倒，翻滚，痛苦的神色却遭到质疑。
早在上届世界杯，内马尔摔倒就引起过争议：
Annoying Neymar must stop diving.
diving!
没错，你没看错!
你想到的画面是不是这样?
那你就只知其一，不知其二了。
我们来看下diving的另一个含义：
diving is an attempt by a player to gain an unfair advantage by falling to
the ground and possibly feigning an injury, to give the impression that a foul
has been committed.
“diving”在英文中还可以表示运动员为了让裁判判罚对手犯规，而故意摔倒在地上，假装受伤。
diving则是我们通常说的“假摔”。对方并没碰到，球员就跳起来倒在地上，简直和跳水一般，实在是太形象了。
