You can picture a player turning to clear the ball and sending it, by accident, into the net behind their own team. Nobody on the other side had to do anything: the point simply arrives for them. The whole word lives in that moment — your own effort, your own net, and a score that helps the people you are playing against.

可以想成這樣一個畫面:球員轉身想把球解圍,卻把球送進自己身後的網子。對手一根手指都沒動,分數就到手了。own goal 的重點就停在這一刻——你自己出的力、你自己的球門,而那一分是記給對面的。抓住這個畫面,兩個意思就都通了。
