新概念三第16课原文新概念英语第三册第16课的原文如下：Lesson 16 The Sporting Spirit.Every year, in the spring, the Rugby football teams of Oxford and Cambridge meet one another in London. This is a very important event, for it is not only a great sporting occasion, but also a social event of the greatest importance. Many graduates, who have not seen one another for years, meet at this annual gathering. The game itselfis extremely rough and dangerous, but this seems to be part of its attraction. The players, most of whom are quite young, do not seem to mind this; indeed, they seem to enjoy it. They play with such enthusiasm and determination that they often receive injuries. This, however, does not worry them. On the contrary, it seems to please them. They take a pride in their injuries and are quite unconcerned about any pain they may suffer. They are proud of the scars on their faces and bodies and are quite happy to explain to you howthey came by them. It is not at all unusual to hear a player say, 'I got this scar when I broke my leg in the match against Cambridge' or 'This is the scar I got when I sprained my ankle in the match against Oxford.' They will then go on to tell you all about the incident in question. It is clear that they are extremely proud of their injuries and regard them as medals. They seem to think that the more scars they have, the better players they are. This is, of course, absurd, but it shows the great spirit of the game.以上就是新概念英语第三册第16课的原文。
