亞運會卡塔爾女籃“退賽”

在仁川亞運會女籃A組資格賽卡塔爾隊對蒙古隊的比賽中，因為裁判不允許卡塔爾隊戴著頭巾參賽，卡塔爾隊怒而退賽。無奈，裁判直接判卡塔爾0：20告負。

The Qatar women's basketball team forfeited a match at the Asian Games on Wednesday after being refused permission to wear the Islamic headscarf.

周三，因裁判不允許她們戴頭巾比賽，卡塔爾女籃退出了比賽。

卡塔爾女籃“退賽”用forfeit a match表示，這里的forfeit指give it up willingly, especially so that you can achieve something else（為了獲得其他東西而主動放棄某事），卡塔爾女籃放棄比賽是為了向國際籃聯傳遞信息，希望未來國際籃聯能夠改變相關的比賽著裝規定。Forfeit更常見的意思是“沒收、被剝奪”，比如，He was ordered to forfeit more than ￡1.5m in profits（他被勒令上繳150多萬英鎊的利潤）。

如果只是單純因為個人原因或不可抗力退出比賽則可以用abandon/pull out of/withdraw from the game表示，比如，Lee Chong Wei abandoned his game in the decider due to injury（李宗偉在決勝局因傷退賽）。
