媒體英語會(huì)帶大家一起學(xué)習(xí)BBC撰稿人在報(bào)道世界大事時(shí)常用到的單詞和短語。

Background: 印度曲棍球國家隊(duì)的22名明星球員們拒絕為下個(gè)月在新德里舉行的曲棍球世界杯訓(xùn)練，他們認(rèn)為參加 很多比賽都沒有得到應(yīng)有的回報(bào)。這22名球員將無限制罷訓(xùn)下去，直到政府給與他們應(yīng)有的報(bào)酬。印度相關(guān)政府機(jī)構(gòu)也在召開緊急會(huì)議，想辦法盡快解決此事。

After a meeting between the players and hockey's governing body over the weekend, there was hope that a truce had been reached.

But on Monday the whole team refused to go to its world cup training camp in the western city of Pune.

This has angered the governing body, Hockey India, and its president AK Mattoo has told the local media that it will consider suspending the team if the issue is not resolved soon.

One senior player Prabhjot Singh told the BBC that the players stood united and would not train until they were paid what is owed to them from previous tournaments.

The crisis comes as India prepares to host the world cup in just a few weeks.

Along with rival Pakistan, the country is in the same pool as Australia, Spain, England and South Africa in the 12-nation tournament.

India won the World Hockey Cup only once back in 1975.

The team didn't even qualify for the last tournament.

And despite hockey being India's national game, it is cricket that drives the passion of the country and that's where all the money goes.
