- 1運動能力；運動天賦
Athleticism is the ability to play sports or do hard physical things well — speed, strength, balance, and the kind of body control that makes movement look easy. It is a quality, a how-good-you-are, not the name of a sport. A dancer can have it; so can a footballer. The word is a little formal: coaches, journalists, and sports writers like it more than everyday chat. Though actually, it is not the same as athletics. Athletics is the group of running, jumping, and throwing sports (田徑). Athleticism is the spring and skill in the body. And it is not only “being muscular”: a slight, quick person can show more athleticism than someone big and stiff.
組成From athletic + -ism. Athletic comes through French and Latin from Greek athletikos, the “athlete / contest” word. Here -ism makes a noun of quality: the -ness of being athletic.
