2010南非世界杯鸣锣开战。在南非对阵墨西哥的揭幕战中，墨西哥中场华雷斯为了阻截对手不惜手球犯规，领到本届世界杯首张黄牌。你知道足球场上的各种“犯规”英文中都如何表达吗？下面就来看一下吧。

       犯规 foul (adj./n./v.)

"The Portuguese player was tripped and pushed near the Ivory Coast penalty box. As soon as he got up, he was surrounded by his opponents and then pushed and insulted," the Portuguese Football Federation said in a statement.

"Given these facts, there is a disparity in the showing of the cards, once the African player, who committed a foul received a yellow card, and the Portuguese player who simply tried to walk away from the situation received the same punishment."

葡萄牙足协在声明中称，“C罗当时在禁区内被又铲又挤地失去重心倒在地上，当他站起身想离开时，就被科特迪瓦球员紧紧围住，并不断收到对方球员的攻击。”

“鉴于这些事实，我们觉得裁判出牌的标准根本不统一，科特迪瓦球员犯规理应得一张黄牌，而C罗仅仅是想离开冲突地点却也得了黄牌。”
