歐洲舉辦兔子跳躍障礙賽

 

That rabbits like to hop is hardly a secret. But now European rabbit enthusiasts have harnessed their bunnies' natural talents to create a new spectator sport... rabbit showjumping. Invented in Sweden in the early Eighties, Kaninhop involves bunnies bouncing their way around courses consisting of several small jumps of varying height and length. Clubs have now sprung up in several other European countries, the US, Canada and Japan. Rules vary from country to country, but generally the more jumps a rabbit clears the higher its score. There is also sometimes a time element to competitions.

兔子善跳，這早已不是什么秘密。而歐洲的養(yǎng)兔愛好者利用了兔子的這一天性，創(chuàng)造出一種全新的味趣運(yùn)動(dòng)—跳躍秀。這種運(yùn)動(dòng)于八十年代早期在瑞典發(fā)明。在名為Kaninhop的比賽中，小兔子們依次跳過(guò)不同高度和寬度的障礙物。這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)現(xiàn)已傳到其他歐洲國(guó)家、美國(guó)、加拿大、甚至是日本。各地的比賽規(guī)則各異，但是通常來(lái)說(shuō)，兔子跳過(guò)的障礙越多，得分也越高，有些比賽還有時(shí)間限制。
