二合一：探索澳新军团日纪念活动中的澳大利亚传统

二上是一种传统的澳大利亚赌博游戏，涉及将两枚硬币旋转到空中，并押注它们落地的结果是正面还是反面。主要比赛由旋转者和拳击手组成，旋转者的目标是在连续三轮中掷出两个头。观众之间进行二次投注，个人对正面或反面下注，并保持赌注直到结果确定。边注的获胜者和旋转者的命运取决于抛硬币的结果。如果连续掷出三个正面，则旋转者获胜；如果掷出两条尾巴，则旋转者输。二人制比赛通常在澳新军团日举行，各州的规定有所不同。

二合一：澳大利亚澳新军团日传统综合指南

Introduction

介绍

Anzac Day, solemnly observed on the 25th of April each year, holds deep significance for Australia. It is a day of remembrance and commemoration for the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Traditional activities such as the dawn service, bacon and egg rolls, and a few drinks form an integral part of Anzac Day observances. One such tradition that has become synonymous with this solemn occasion is the game of two-up.

每年 4 月 25 日隆重庆祝的澳新军团日对澳大利亚具有深远的意义。这是纪念为国家做出最终牺牲的勇敢男女的日子。黎明服务、培根和蛋卷以及一些饮料等传统活动是澳新军团日纪念活动不可或缺的一部分。二人制游戏已成为这一庄严场合的代名词。

Origins of Two-Up

二合一的起源

Two-up, a traditional Australian gambling game, traces its roots back to pitch and toss, a simple game involving tossing a single coin in the air and betting on its outcome. Over time, a second coin was added, giving birth to the iconic game of two-up.

Two-up 是一种传统的澳大利亚赌博游戏，其根源可以追溯到投球和投掷，这是一种简单的游戏，涉及将一枚硬币抛向空中并对其结果进行投注。随着时间的推移，第二枚硬币被添加进来，诞生了标志性的双人游戏。

Its popularity surged in 18th-century England, particularly among impoverished English and Irish citizens. As the gold rush drew hopeful settlers from around the globe to Australia in the 1800s, they brought with them not only their dreams of fortune but also their cherished pastimes, including two-up. By the 1850s, the game had become a staple pastime in the goldfields of Kalgoorlie and Broken Hill.

它在 18 世纪的英国迅速流行，尤其是在贫困的英国和爱尔兰公民中。 1800 年代，淘金热吸引了来自世界各地充满希望的定居者来到澳大利亚，他们不仅带来了财富梦想，还带来了他们所珍视的消遣，包括两人一起。到了 1850 年代，这项运动已成为卡尔古利和布罗肯希尔金矿区的主要消遣活动。

Two-Up during World War I

第一次世界大战期间的二人制

Two-up's enduring popularity continued throughout the early 1900s, reaching a poignant peak during World War I. Australian soldiers, deployed in the trenches and aboard troopships, found solace and camaraderie in the game. This wartime association cemented two-up's strong connection to Anzac Day, a day that honors the sacrifices of Australian and New Zealand soldiers.

Two-up 的受欢迎程度在整个 1900 年代初一直持续，并在第一次世界大战期间达到顶峰。部署在战壕和运兵船上的澳大利亚士兵在这款游戏中找到了安慰和友情。这一战时协会巩固了 Two-up 与澳新军团日的紧密联系，这一天是为了纪念澳大利亚和新西兰士兵的牺牲。

How to Play Two-Up

如何玩二人游戏

Played primarily in pubs and clubs, two-up involves two main types of betting activities. The primary game involves two key roles: the 'spinner' and the 'boxer' or 'ringkeeper.' The spinner, holding two coins (known as pennies) with their tails marked by a distinctive white cross, throws the coins into the air using a flat paddle called a 'kip.' The objective is to land two heads in three consecutive rounds. The spinner places their bet with the boxer, who then seeks a matching opposite bet from someone in the crowd.

二人投注主要在酒吧和俱乐部进行，涉及两种主要类型的投注活动。主要游戏涉及两个关键角色：“旋转者”和“拳击手”或“守环者”。旋转者手持两枚硬币（称为便士），硬币的尾部有一个独特的白色十字标记，然后使用称为“kip”的扁平桨将硬币抛向空中。目标是在连续三轮比赛中取得两个头。旋转者向拳击手下注，然后拳击手从人群中的某个人那里寻找匹配的相反赌注。

Meanwhile, secondary betting takes place among spectators. Individuals signal their bets on 'heads' or 'tails' by tapping a banknote on their head or against their waist or buttocks, respectively. A 'heads' bettor typically taps their head with a banknote, while a 'tails' bettor taps a banknote against their waist or buttocks. Spectators find someone displaying the opposite bet to pair with, and the 'heads' bettor holds the total cash being wagered while the game is in progress.

与此同时，观众之间进行二次投注。人们通过将钞票分别敲击自己的头部、腰部或臀部来表示押注“正面”或“反面”。 “正面”投注者通常用钞票敲击他们的头部，而“背面”投注者则用钞票敲击他们的腰部或臀部。观众会发现有人展示相反的赌注来配对，而“正面”投注者则在比赛进行期间持有所下注的全部现金。

Before the spinner releases the coins, the boxer makes the call "Final Bets" or "All bets are off," signaling the end of the betting phase. If the spinner successfully lands two heads in three consecutive rounds, their bet is doubled in each round, leading to a potential win of $40 from an initial $5 bet. However, if the spinner tosses two tails at any point, they forfeit their original wager, and a new spinner takes over to start a new game.

在旋转者释放硬币之前，拳击手喊出“最终投注”或“所有投注结束”，表示投注阶段结束。如果旋转者在连续三轮中成功击中两个头，他们的赌注将在每一轮中翻倍，从而可能从最初的 5 美元赌注中赢得 40 美元。然而，如果旋转者在任何时候抛出两条反面，他们就会放弃原来的赌注，并由新的旋转者接管并开始新游戏。

After the boxer announces the outcome of the coin toss, bets are settled accordingly. Individuals who bet on heads collect the money if the result is 'heads,' while those who bet on tails collect their winnings if the result is 'tails.'

拳击手宣布掷硬币的结果后，投注将相应结算。如果结果是“正面”，押注正面的人将获得奖金；如果结果是“反面”，押注反面的人将获得奖金。
