Ah, the beautiful game of soccer. Or as the rest of the world calls it, football.
啊，美丽的soccer比赛。世界上除美国之外的其他地方则称其为football。
Football is a difficult game.
足球是一项难度很高的运动。
And like any difficult game, it has difficult moves.
和其他难度高的运动一样，足球的技术动作难度也很高。
But the hardest move of them all is the awe-inspiring, God-like, unparalleled, bicycle kick.
然而，其中最难的还是要数令人惊叹，神一般，无与伦比的……倒钩。
But the origins of this world-class move are sharply contested between three Latin American countries.
而这一巅峰技术的起源在三个拉丁美洲国家之间引起了激烈的争论。
So, we wanna know: Who invented the bicycle kick? Brazil? Peru? Chile?
我们想知道：到底是谁发明了倒钩这种技术的？是巴西？是秘鲁？还是智利？
You see, depending on who you ask, the bicycle kick has three different names and a contested origins story.
话说，这要看你问谁了，倒钩在这三个国家有三个不同的名字，它的起源也是充满了争议。
If you go to Latin America, many people will call this "kick La Chilena", which means "The Chilean".
在拉丁美洲，很多人都称这一动作为“La Chilena踢”，La Chilena的意思是“智利人”。
And it's all because of this guy: Ramón Unzaga.
而这一切都是因他而起：Ramón Unzaga。
The year is 1914.
那是1914年。
Popular tradition has it that Unzaga invented the kick in a football match in Chile.
流行的说法是Unzaga在智利的一场足球比赛中发明了这一射门动作。
The Argentinean press took notice of this spectacular play and decided to adopt the move as La Chilena, which means The Chilean.
阿根廷媒体注意到了这一壮观的一幕，便决定将这一动作命名为“La Chilena”，也就是“智利人”。
Goal! La Chilena!
进球了！智利人！
But, in Peru, Peruvians will claim the kick was invented in Callao, Peru's largest port.
然而，秘鲁境内的秘鲁人则宣称这个动作的发源地是秘鲁最大的港口卡亚俄。
It was the year 1892.
故事还要从1892年说起。
Many believe that a Chalaco, as Callao locals are known, was the first to try this acrobatic maneuver in a game against British sailors.
许多人都认为，一个“斑点睡虾虎鱼”，卡亚俄当地人的外号，是第一个在与英国水手的比赛中尝试这种杂技般动作的人。
Some say that Chilean spectators witnessed this move, which Peruvians called, La Chalaca, and took it back to Chile.
有人说，有智利观众目睹了这一动作，当时的秘鲁人称之为“La Chalaca”，就将其带回了智利。
Now, In Brazil, they will give you their own story.
巴西人也有自己的版本。
Some have suggested that the Brazilian Leonidas da Silva was the first to ever develop what Brazilians call, Bicicleta.
有人认为，巴西人Leonidas da Silva是第一个发明这种巴西人称之为Bicicleta的球技的人。
Word is, when Leonidas made the move, the referee was so startled, he didn't know if it was even a legal play.
传闻，当他踢出那一脚时，裁判都震惊得不知道那种踢法合不合法了。
The truth is that it's really hard to pin down the inception of this amazing move.
事实是，我们真的很难追踪到这一惊艳的动作的起源了。
And whether its origin's are Chilean, Peruvian, or Brazilian, one thing's for sure: the bicycle kick is truly a Latin American invention.
但无论它的起源是智利，秘鲁还是巴西，有一件点是肯定的：倒钩的的确确是拉丁美洲的发明。
