Foul Play: The act of breaking the rules in a sport or competition, especially when it is done deliberately.

Conversation 1: 
A: “Did you see the short track speed skating race at the Asian Winter Games? There was some serious foul play during the event!”

你看今天亚冬会的短道速滑比赛吗？比赛中发生了严重的犯规！
B: “Yeah, I saw that! It’s crazy how the pressure of international competition can sometimes push athletes to cross the line.”

看到了！真的很疯狂，国际比赛的压力有时候让运动员突破底线。

A: “Exactly. While the pressure to win is intense, it’s still disappointing to see foul play. It really takes away from the spirit of the game.”
没错。尽管赢的压力很大，但看到犯规还是很失望。这样会破坏比赛的精神。
Conversation 2: 

C: “I heard about that foul during the short track speed skating race at the Asian Winter Games. It made me think—foul play just ruins the integrity of the sport.”

我听说了短道速滑比赛中的犯规事件。我觉得犯规真的破坏了比赛的公正性。
D: “Absolutely. In any sport, fair play should always be the priority, especially in international competitions. Winning through foul play isn’t real victory.”

确实。无论什么运动，公平竞赛应该是最重要的，尤其是在国际比赛中。通过犯规赢得比赛不算真正的胜利。
C: “Exactly. It’s not just about winning; it’s about respecting the game and the other athletes.”
没错。比赛不仅仅是为了赢，更是为了尊重这项运动和其他选手。
