Liu Xiang suffered a suspected ruptured Achilles tendon as he crashed out of the Olympic Games on Tuesday, a team official confirmed, plunging the Chinese hurdler's future into doubt.

Liu, 29, exited the Games after smashing into the first obstacle of his 110m hurdles heat, four years after he was forced to withdraw from the event at the 2008 Beijing Games.

China's athletics team leader in London, Feng Shuyong, later revealed Liu had possibly snapped his Achilles, a recurrence of a problem which had dogged the 2004 Olympic champion for years despite intensive treatment.

一位田径官员证实，在周二的奥林匹克田径赛场上，刘翔可能跟腱断裂退出比赛，让他的运动前景堪忧。

29岁的刘翔在跨越第一个栏时打栏被绊倒遭淘汰，四年前的北京奥运会上他因伤退出比赛。

在伦敦，中国田径队总教练冯树勇透漏了刘翔的伤情，称他的跟腱可能断裂，尽管进行了强化治疗，但是这一伤病多年里来一直困扰着这位2004年的世界冠军。

【讲解】

文中的“ruptured Achilles tendon”就是“跟腱断裂”的意思，“Achilles tendon”是指“跟腱”，“Achilles”这个词是指希腊神话里的阿喀琉斯，他除脚踵外，浑身刀枪不入，所以Achilles'heel用来指“致命要害”。“rupture”是指“破裂”。110米栏的英文表达是“110m hurdles”，hurdle是指“栏杆”，而“hurdler”是指“跨栏选手”。
