每日一翻:Our 1930 Football Study Found Little Actual Action

Thanksgiving Day means [turkey noises] and [football noises]. And you know what: there might be more total action at the dinner table than in the football game.

感恩节意味着[火鸡的声音]和[足球的声音]。你知道的:或许餐桌上的活动比足球赛更多。

Back in 2010, the Wall Street Journal announced that their study of four game broadcasts, combined with analysis by other researchers, found that “the average amount of time the ball is in play on the field during an NFL game is about 11 minutes.”

回到2010,《华尔街日报》宣布,结合其他研究者的分析,他们的对四个游戏节目的研究发现“美国橄榄球联盟比赛期间,球在场上的平均时间是11分钟”。

Turns out the Journal’s study merely confirmed a Scientific American investigation that we did 80 years earlier.

原来《华尔街日报》的研究仅仅是证实了《科学美国人》80年前的调查。

While scrounging through our digital archives recently I happened on the article from our November, 1930, issue titled, “How many minutes of play in the average football game?” Author Hugo L. Rusch was the supervisor of the Technical Data Section of the Johns-Manville Corporation. He studied eight college games between 1927 and 1929 that included teams from a few Ivy League schools as well as Notre Dame, Army, Stanford and Ohio State. And he found that the time the ball was actually in play during those games was 12 minutes, 22 seconds. I’d guess that the tendency to use more time-consuming running plays back in the day accounts for the extra minute or so of college game action back then compared to today’s NFL style.

最近通过搜寻我们的数码档案,我找到了我们在1930年11月发行的题为“足球游戏平均有多少分钟呢?”的文章,它的作者Hugo L. Rusch是约翰-曼维尔公司的技术数据部门的管理者。他在1927年和1929年间研究了八个大学比赛,包括来自圣母大学,Army,斯坦福大学和俄亥俄州立大学等几所常春藤盟校的队伍。并且他发现在这些比赛中触球的时间实际上是12分钟22秒。我猜想,像今天的美国国家足球联盟的风格一样,一天中花费更多时间播回放有占大学比赛更多时间的趋势。

Rusch’s article pointed out that watching football in person was really expensive if you figured you only paid to watch the actual plays. Why, he wrote, you could be paying $24.25 an hour to watch football. Because that’s what your $5 ticket, yes, $5 for a major college game, was really buying you. Rusch concluded that the stress of watching a game in person meant that “even though you may be paying at the rate of $24.25 per hour to see actual football, perhaps it is best for you that there is only 12 minutes of it. If you kept this tension steadily for an hour, you might have to be carried out of the stadium.”

Rusch的文章指出如果你认为你只看实际的戏剧,看足球真的是昂贵的。他写道,为什么你能每小时花24.25美元去看足球?因为你5美元的票,是的5美元为了一场大学球赛,真的是为了买。Rusch认为亲自观看比赛的压力意味着“即使你可能要以每小时24.25美元的价格去看一场足球,也许只有12分钟是最适合你的。如果你这种紧张关系保持了一个小时,你可能不得不进入球场看比赛。”
