<注釋>Athletes who believe that winning is the most important aspect of athletics have etymological support for their view,even if the way one plays the game is more important than winning a prize.The wordathlete may ultimately go back to the Greek word athlos, .contest, especially a contest for a prize.. Two other possible sources areathlon, .prize won in a contest,. and .athleus, .one who competes.. The Greek wordathlôtôs, derived from at least one of these sources, meant .combatant, champion,. and was used especially for competitors in games.Our wordathlete, borrowed from Greek by way of Latin, is first recorded in Middle English (possibly before 425) with reference to wrestlers.
那些堅(jiān)信體育比賽中取勝是最重要一面的運(yùn)動(dòng)員，有詞源學(xué)根據(jù)來支持他們的觀點(diǎn)，甚至參加運(yùn)動(dòng)的方式比獲取獎(jiǎng)品更重要。athlete 這個(gè)單詞可以最終追溯到希臘單詞 athlos .比賽， 尤指為獲取獎(jiǎng)品的競(jìng)賽。.另外兩個(gè)可能的詞源是athlon .體育競(jìng)賽中獲得的獎(jiǎng)品.和 athleus .參加體育競(jìng)賽的人.。 athletes 這個(gè)希臘單詞至少從這些詞源之一發(fā)展而來，意思是.競(jìng)技者、冠軍.， 尤其用來指體育比賽中的競(jìng)技者。這個(gè)詞athlete 通過拉丁語從希臘語中借用， 最早記錄于中世紀(jì)英語（大約在425年以前），用來指摔跤運(yùn)動(dòng)
