Handball
Olympic handball or team handball is an indoor court game. It is a seven-a-side game played with a leather ball. The object of the game is to pass the ball by hand around members of the team and to throw the ball into the opponents’ goal. Passing, dribbling and shooting are the basic skills of the game.
It is played on an indoor court with a wooden floor. The court is 44metres long and 22metres wide and is divided by a center line. At each end there is a goal. In front of the goal are marked a goal area line and a free throw line. Seven metres in front of the goal is the penalty line. The goal is three metres wide and two metres high.
Nobody is sure who invented the game. By the start of the twentieth century, several throwing games existed. In 1928 the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF) devised a set of rules. In 1938 the first World Championships were held. The International Handball Federation was founded in 1946.
Dominant nations in world handball include Russia, Germany, and east European countries. Handball requires speed, strength, balance, stamina, agility, flexibility and good footwork.
手 球
奥林匹克项目的手球或成队比赛的手球（欧洲有许多种手球，如两人对打手球等——注）是室内球类项目（是在室内进行的运动项目）。手球比赛以7人为一方，用皮革制的球进行比赛。手球比赛的目标是通过在队员间传球，最后把球打入对方的球门。传球、运球和射门构成此项运动的基本技术。
手球在室内的木制地板上进行。场地长44米，宽22米。由中线分为两个半场。场地两端各有一个球门。球门前有一球门区线和一条任意球线。门前还有一距球门7米的罚球线。球门宽3米，高2米。
谁也不确切知道，手球是谁发明的。20世纪开始之前，已经有了一些掷球的球类运动。1928年国际业余田径联合会（IAAF）制定了一系列规则。1938年举行了第一次世界锦标赛。国际手球联合会成立于1946年。在世界手球运动处于领先地位的国家有俄国、德国、和一些东欧国家。手球要求有速度、力量、协调（平衡）、耐力、灵敏、柔韧等素质和步法灵活的能力。
Ode to Sport 体育颂
（Extract 节选）
——pierre de Coubertin (皮埃尔.德.顾拜旦)
O sport, delight of the Gods, distillation of lift!
To the mountain tops comes dawn’s first glimmer, and sunbeams dappled
the forest’s gloomy floor.
O sport, you are beauty!
You—the architect of this house, human body, which may become defiled
by base passions or enriched with wholesome endeavor.
O sport, you are progress!
To serve you well, man must better himself in body and in soul.
O sport, you are peace!
You forge happy bonds between the people by drawing them together in reverence for strength which is controlled, organized and self-disciplined. Through you the young of the world learn to respect one another, thus the diversity of national traits becomes a source of generous and peaceful emulation.
啊，体育，天神的欢娱，生命的动力。
你像高山之巅出现的晨曦，照亮了昏暗的大地。
啊，体育，你就是美丽！
你塑造的人体，变得高尚还是卑鄙，
要看它是被可耻的欲望引向堕落；
还是由健康的力量悉心培育。
啊，体育，你就是进步！
为人类的日新月异，
身体和精神的改善要同时抓起。
啊, 体育，你就是和平！
你在各民族间建立起愉快的联系。
你再有节制、有组织、自律的体力较量中产生，
使全世界的青年学会相互尊重和学习，
使不同民族的特质成为高尚而和平竞赛的动力。
