The Biggest Stadiums in the World
世界上最大的体育场
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 8 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world’s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome’s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
【翻译】自古希腊时代以来,人们就一直在涌入体育场。在公元8年左右,罗马人修建了大体育馆,它现在仍是世界上最著名的体育场,同时仍在对当代设计产生影响。罗马大体育馆高157英尺,有80个入口,可容纳50,000人。然而,与可容纳约250,000人的城市马戏团马克西姆斯体育场相比,这只是小巫见大巫。
These days, safety regulations—not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and a comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities (容量) slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
【翻译】如今,由于要遵循安全法规,体育场的容量往往偏低,更不用说还有现代体育迷对良好视野和舒适座椅的渴望。即使是足球迷也往往每个人都有一个座位。成千上万人站着观看比赛的日子已经一去不复返了。
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
【翻译】对于这座世界上最大的体育场,到目前为止,我们使用的是世界地图册列表提供的数据,该列表根据各体育场公布的固定容量以及来自官方体育场网站更新的信息进行排名。
All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
【翻译】所有这些体育场馆仍然可以使用,仍然开放,并且仍在举办世界体育界最大的赛事。
