Pitch is the main word in British English but is not used in American English. Both words are used to talk about the area of land that a game is played on. Ground is used to talk about the area of land where a sport is played, including any buildings or areas where spectators (= people watching the game) sit or stand. In some sports pitch and field have different meanings. For example, in cricket the pitch is a small strip in the middle of the field, where most of the action takes place. 英式英语中主要用pitch，但该词不用于美式英语。pitch和field均指比赛场地。ground指体育活动场地，包括容纳观众的建筑物或看台。在某些体育运动中，pitch和field词义不同，如板球运动中pitch（三柱门之间的区域）指field（球场）中间一狭长区域，大部分场上活动在这个区域展开。■ ˈplaying field [countable] a large area of grass, usually with lines marked on it, where people play sports and games （有草地的）运动场，操场◆The school's playing fields offer facilities for tennis, football, hockey and athletics.学校的运动场有网球、足球、曲棍球和田径等运动设施。 see also playground ⇨ park ■ park [countable] (NAmE) a piece of land for playing sports, especially baseball 运动场；（尤指）棒球场◆With a mighty swing he hit the ball right out of the park.他用力一挥把球打出了球场。■ ballpark /ˈbɔːlpɑːk; NAmE ˈbɔːlpɑːrk/ [countable] (especially NAmE) a place where baseball is played 棒球场◆Boston's Fenway Park remains the oldest major-league ballpark in use.波士顿的芬威公园仍然是目前正使用的历史最悠久的大联盟棒球场。 |
