解讀各大NBA球隊(duì)名稱的來龍去脈
The Names Of The Western Conferences Of NBASeveral weeks ago, we had discussed the meaning of the team names in the National Basketball Association’s Eastern Conference. This time we move on to the Western Conference.
The Minnesota Timberwolves(明尼蘇達(dá)森林狼):the Timberwolves’ name actually makes sense. Minnesota, which is located on the border with Canada, contains large expanses of forested wilderness where timberwolves make their home.
The SanAntonio Spurs(圣安東尼奧馬刺): The mythology(傳說、的神話) of the "cowboy", solitary, tough and self-reliant, has long been an important part of the American national identity, particularly in Texas, where San Antonio is located. Spurs are sharp metal devices attached to a cowboy’s boots. By jabbing a horse’s flanks with the spurs, the cowboy can encourage his mount(座騎) to run faster.
The Dallas Mavericks(達(dá)拉斯小牛): The name of the Dallas team also reflects Texas’ cowboy past. A "maverick" is a rebellious(叛逆性強(qiáng)的) person who refuses to obey social norms(標(biāo)準(zhǔn)). The word is derived from the name of Samuel Maverick (1803-1870), a Texas rancher(農(nóng)場主)who refused to brand(為小牛烙印標(biāo)識)his cattle.
The Houston Rockets(休斯頓火箭): The NASA(美國國家航空航天局) Mission Control Center is located in Houston; hence the name "Rockets". Ironically, no actual rockets are ever launched into space from Houston -- launches take place at a separate facility in Florida.
