【编者按】精品学习网考试频道小编为大家收集并整理了“2012年BEC辅导专业词汇:奥运英语之射击”，供大家参考，希望对大家有所帮助。
射击项目在世界上居于领先地位的国家有美国，中国，俄国和德国。射击运动要求(运动员)具有平衡，注意力集中，协调，心理稳定和时间感觉等项素质。大家普遍认为射击运动员的视力一定很好。
Olympic history abounds with tales of athletes who overcame crippling adversity to win gold medals, but Karoly Takacs' comeback may be the best. Takacs was part of Hungary's world-champion pistol-shooting team in 1938 when an army grenade exploded in his right hand. Ten years later, he won the first two golds in rapid-fire pistol - after teaching himself to shoot left-handed.
In a sport where the bullseye looks about the size of the full stop at the end of this sentence, a sport where shooters compete amid a cacophony of noise and still concentrate on firing between heartbeats, Takacs' achievement tests the imagination.
From just three shooting events at the 1896 Olympic Games to 17 today, the sport has grown steadily. In part this leap can be ascribed to advances in the technology of firearms and equipment, which have led to constant changes in the shooting competition. But it can also be ascribed to the passion shooters have for their sport.
Help: abound with 盛产, 富于; 充满, 多
grenade n. 手榴弹
bullseye n. 靶心
cacophony n. 杂音
射击(shooting)是用枪支对准目标打靶的竞技项目。国际比赛有男女个人项目。也有团体项目，使用枪支射击的人叫射手(射击运动员)或叫神枪手。射击运动员的技术叫射击术。
最初枪支用于狩猎和军事目的。现在，射击被当作是一种娱乐活动。射击首次列入现代奥运会在1896年雅典奥运会。1897年举行了首届世界射击锦标赛。1907年世界射击联盟成立。
射击项目在世界上居于领先地位的国家有美国，中国，俄国和德国。射击运动要求(运动员)具有平衡，注意力集中，协调，心理稳定和时间感觉等项素质。
大家普遍认为射击运动员的视力一定很好。其实不然，像国内很多优秀选手在视力上都有着这样那样的问题。例如：现中国射击队总教练王义夫，他有很严重的花眼。但是射击成绩是最优秀的，所以比赛的时候戴眼镜就没有问题了。
