freestyle aerials

2月23日晚,都灵萨兹·杜克斯雪场见证了一个激情时刻――中国选手韩晓鹏力压群雄,夺得了自由式滑雪男子空中技巧项目金牌,书写了中国冬奥会新的历史。这是中国自1994以来,在自由式滑雪空中技巧项目中获得的首枚冬奥会金牌。

请看路透社的相关报道:Han Xiaopeng made history by becoming the first Chinese skier to win Olympic gold with his sensational victory in the men'sfreestyle aerialsfinal on February 23, 2006. This is China's second gold at the ongoing event.

报道中的aerials在这里是体育术语"空中技巧",由形容词aerial衍生而来。Aerial原意是"of, in, or caused by the air"(在空中的;与空气有关的),举个例子:Petrels are the most aerial of birds(海燕是最善于翱翔的鸟)。由此,我们可得到一系列与"空中"有关的词组:如 "特技飞行",可以用aerial acrobatics来表达,acrobatics意为"杂技";军事上的"空战"可译为aerial combat.

另外,我们说的"天线"也可以用aerial来表示。
