体育小常识:何为英超赛场上的"德比大战"?

  英超赛场近日上演曼彻斯特德比大战,结果曼城主场1比0战胜曼联,取得德比四连胜。体育比赛的报道中,我们经常会看到“德比”这个词,它到底什么来历,又是指什么呢?
          In many countries the term local derby, or simply just derby means a
sporting fixture between two teams from the same town, city or region,
particularly in association football.
          在很多国家,本地德比(local derby)或者德比(derby)都指来自同一个小镇、城市或地区的两支队伍之间的体育比赛,尤多见于足球联赛。
          A soccer game between two rival teams is also sometimes referred to as a
"derby." A derby is the soccer equivalent of the sort of game that is called a
"crosstown rivalry" in North American sports.
          两支相互竞争的球队之间的足球比赛有时也叫做德比。足球比赛中的德比相当于北美体育比赛中的“同城竞技”。
       


          The phrase most likely originated from The Derby, a horse race in England,
founded by the 12th Earl of Derby in 1780, since at least as early as 1840
'derby' has been used as a noun in English to denote any kind of sporting
contest.
          德比这个说法很有可能来源于1780年第12世德比伯爵在英格兰开创的赛马活动The
Derby。早在1840年时,德比一词就在英语里用作名词来指代任何一种体育比赛。
