隨著 2020 屆世界盃的臨近，美聯社為那些希望更好地了解這項運動的人們提供了一份休閒板球觀看者指南。

**WICKET**

**便門**

In cricket, the term "wicket" has multiple meanings. It can refer to a bowler getting a batter out or the three wooden stumps at either end of the pitch. When a wicket is taken, the batter is either bowled, caught, run out, or trapped leg before wicket. Expect to hear this term often during the matches.

在板球運動中，術語“wicket”有多種含義。它可以指投球手將擊球手擊出，也可以指球場兩端的三個木樁。當三柱門被佔領時，擊球手要么被投球，要么被抓住，要么被跑出，要么被困在三柱門前的腿上。希望在比賽期間經常聽到這個詞。

**INNINGS**

**局**

Each team in cricket has one innings to bat, with a maximum of 10 wickets before the team is all out. The team captain decides whether to bat or bowl first after winning the coin toss. The scoreboard shows the runs scored and the number of wickets lost, with a lower number of wickets indicating a better performance.

板球比賽中，每支球隊都有一局要擊球，在球隊全部出局之前最多有 10 個三柱門。擲硬幣獲勝後，隊長決定先擊球還是先投球。記分板顯示得分和失去的三柱門數量，三柱門數量越少表示表現越好。

**OVER**

**超過**

In the T20 World Cup, each team gets 20 overs to play, with six balls in each over. The bowlers alternate ends after each over, and the death overs are crucial as batters try to score as many boundaries as possible.

在T20世界盃中，每支球隊進行20輪比賽，每輪6球。投手在每一輪後交替結束，死亡輪至關重要，因為擊球手試圖得分盡可能多的邊界。

**BEAMER**

**投影機**

A beamer is an illegal delivery where the bowler throws the ball at the batter's head without it bouncing. This type of delivery is rare, accidental, and against the spirit of the game.

Beamer 是一種非法投球，投球手將球扔向擊球手的頭部而不彈起。這種類型的投球是罕見的、偶然的，並且違背了遊戲的精神。

**BOUNDARIES**

**邊界**

Hitting the ball beyond the field boundary earns a batter four runs, while hitting it without the ball bouncing earns six runs. Boundaries are crucial for scoring in cricket matches.

將球擊出場地邊界後，擊球手可獲得四分，而在球不彈起的情況下擊球則可獲得六分。邊界對於板球比賽中的得分至關重要。

**BYE**

**再見**

Byes are part of the extras that can increase a team's score by at least one run. Extras like wides can quickly add up if the bowler is struggling during the match.

輪空是附加賽的一部分，可以使球隊的得分至少增加一分。如果投手在比賽中表現不佳，邊路等額外費用很快就會增加。
