It was all so gentlemanly really, as if competition was governed, like boxing, by a code of generally accepted Marquess of Queensberry rules. 看似颇有君子之风,就好像大家都在监督之下公平竞争,就像拳击赛一样,人人都要按规则出招。
The rules that govern boxing were introduced by the Marquess of Queensberry in1867. 现行的拳击规则是昆斯伯里侯爵于1867年提出的。
The use of gloves was not introduced until 1860 when the Marquis of Queensberry drew up the first set of rules. 直到1860年昆斯伯里侯爵制定出第一套规则才使用拳击手套。
It is prohibited in the Queensberry Rules of prize-fighting to hit below the belt. 职业拳击比赛的《昆斯伯里规则》里禁止打击对手在腰带以下的部位。
Of course it is idle to expect funds owned by authoritarian governments to play by the Queensberry rules. 当然,期待威权政府拥有的基金遵守公平规则是徒劳的。
