Why do bulls charge when they "see red"?
[ 2006-06-14 09:11 ]
西班牙斗牛大家有沒有看過？斗牛士用他的紅斗篷激怒公牛，在搏斗中展示自己高超的技藝。可是，公牛真的是因為看到紅色才發(fā)怒的嗎？事實上完全不是那么回事。
 Bulls do NOT charge because a Matador's cape is red. They charge
because of the movement of the cape.
In Spain, a Matador will don his
"Montera" (small black hat), bow to the Presidents Box, and then dedicate the
bull to a spectator in the stands.
The Matador will start the fight with
a series of passes, first from side to side to bring the bull close to his body,
then high with the cape traveling directly over the bull's horns. After the bull
is trained to charge the cape and it has reduced its area of protection to just
a few feet, a Matador will show you his individual personality by the
combination and variations on these passes. Some of the better Matadors in Spain
will fight the bull from their knees or even kneel with their backs exposed to
the bull.
