經(jīng)過(guò)5天的激烈角逐，東亞運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)游泳比賽鳴金收兵，在全部40項(xiàng)產(chǎn)生的42枚金牌中，中國(guó)泳軍以33枚金牌的驕人戰(zhàn)績(jī)完美收官，但是在成績(jī)的背后，有許多東西值得思考，33枚金牌的含金量不高。
請(qǐng)看報(bào)道：Chinese Sunday extended its dominance in swimming at the East
Asian Games as what it had done since the kick-off of the races to clinch four out of last
seven events, piling up total 33 golds from 40 races.
kickoff的本意是“足球中的開(kāi)球、開(kāi)賽時(shí)間”，如：The kickoff is at 4 o'
clock.（足球賽今天下午4時(shí)開(kāi)賽。）在口語(yǔ)中，kickoff
常被用來(lái)表示“（社交集會(huì)、比賽等）開(kāi)始、序幕”，報(bào)道中的kickoff正是此意。例如：The dance marked the kickoff of
the charity's fund drive.（舞會(huì)標(biāo)志著該慈善機(jī)構(gòu)募集基金運(yùn)動(dòng)的開(kāi)始。）
kickoff的動(dòng)詞形式是kick off。如：An increase in oil price increase would kick
off a new round of
inflation.（石油價(jià)格的上漲將引起新一輪的通貨膨脹。）
