為什么冠軍都愛用牙咬金牌，檢驗質(zhì)量？

Why do champions love to bite the gold medal with their teeth to test the quality?

東京奧運會已經(jīng)結(jié)束了第一個比賽日，有9個體育代表團收獲了金牌，中國體育代表團以3枚金牌1枚銅牌穩(wěn)居金牌和獎牌第一位。細心的人們也許看到一個場景，獲得女子重劍金牌的孫一文頒獎后輕咬金牌，事實上領(lǐng)獎后的金牌獲得者大多數(shù)愛用牙咬金牌，尤其是拍照時，很少看到銀牌和銅牌的獲得者這么做。那么問題來了，為什么冠軍們喜歡用牙咬金牌，難道是檢驗金牌的成色？

The Tokyo Olympics has ended its first day of competition. 9 sports delegations have won gold medals. The Chinese sports delegation ranked first in gold and medals with 3 gold medals and 1 bronze medal. Careful people may see a scene where Sun Yiwen, who won the women’s epee gold medal, bit the gold medal after the award. In fact, most of the gold medal winners after receiving the award like to bite the gold medal with their teeth, especially when taking pictures, rarely see the silver medal. And the bronze medalist did so. So the question is, why do champions like to bite the gold medal with their teeth? Is it to check the fineness of the gold medal?

其實這個疑問不僅存于我們中國觀眾心中，而是一個世界性的疑問。到底為什么冠軍們會有這個舉動，猜測最多的是說冠軍們想這是檢測金牌的成色，因為過去海盜或商人為了檢驗金幣的真?zhèn)危蜁醚廊ヒВ驗辄S金是軟金屬，用牙咬會留下痕跡。然而，誰都知道，運動會尤其是奧運會金牌并不是純金打造，更多是合金即93%是銀，6%為銅，只有1%是金，牙咬后根本留不下痕跡，所以這個猜測顯然站不住腳。

In fact, this question is not only in the hearts of our Chinese audience, but a worldwide question. In the end, why the champions have this behavior? The most guessed thing is that the champions think this is to test the fineness of gold medals. In the past, pirates or merchants used their teeth to check the authenticity of gold coins, because gold is a soft metal. Teeth bite will leave marks. However, everyone knows that the gold medals of the Games, especially the Olympic Games, are not made of pure gold. They are more of alloys, that is, 93% is silver, 6% is copper, and only 1% is gold. There is no trace left after teeth bite, so this guess is obvious. Untenable.

值得一提的是，奧運會金牌最初確實是用純金制造，比如1904年、1908年和1912年的奧運會金牌就是純金的。按理說那時人們對金幣的概念更深刻，然而從影像和運動員們的記憶來看，并沒有人在奧運會上去咬金牌，也應(yīng)證了咬金牌不是為了檢測黃金成色。

It is worth mentioning that the Olympic gold medals were originally made of pure gold. For example, the Olympic gold medals in 1904, 1908 and 1912 were pure gold. It stands to reason that people had a deeper conception of gold coins at that time. However, judging from the images and the memories of athletes, no one bit the gold medal in the Olympics, and it should be proved that biting the gold medal is not for testing the fineness of gold.

因為牙咬金牌這個動作更多出現(xiàn)在運動員拍照時，因此有說法是這主要是攝影師出于拍攝需要讓運動員做的，有點類似說“茄子”的意思，也就是說牙咬金牌的創(chuàng)意是來自于攝影師。國際奧利匹克歷史學(xué)家協(xié)會主席大衛(wèi)在2012年曾表示，“(這個動作)它已經(jīng)成為了攝影師們的一種迷戀。我認為攝影師們拍下奧運冠軍咬獎牌的動作，是因為他們已經(jīng)將其視為標(biāo)志性動作，這種動作更有賣點。我不覺得運動員們自己會去做這種事。”

Because the action of biting the gold medal occurs more often when athletes take pictures, it is said that this is mainly done by the photographer for the purpose of shooting. It is a bit similar to saying "eggplant", which means that the idea of ??biting the gold medal is From the photographer. David, the president of the International Association of Olympic Historians, said in 2012, “(This action) has become a fascination with photographers. I think photographers captured the Olympic champion’s medal-biting action because They have regarded it as an iconic action, which has a more selling point. I don’t think athletes will do it themselves."
