新奇事件簿 FIFA 16最终加入女子足球队

One of the world's best-selling video games has increased its list of options to attract more women players. The game is the latest in EA Sports' incredibly popular FIFA series and is called FIFA 16. It will be on sale later this month. Game players will be able to choose women's teams for the very first time. The new game has 12 of the top international women's teams. They can only play against other women's teams, so there will be no women against men games. A demo version¹ of the game was made available from September 8th. Game players who tested FIFA 16 said the games with women's teams were played at a faster pace than games with men's teams.

为了吸引更多女性玩家，全球最畅销电子游戏增加了更多选择。这款游戏是EA Sports游戏工作室最新推出的《FIFA》足球系列游戏，该游戏的名称为“FIFA 16”。该款游戏将于本月末上市。这也是玩家首次能够选择女性球队。该款游戏选入了12只国际顶级女子球队。她们只能够与其他女性球队进行对抗，并没有设计混合比赛。9月8日，该游戏推出了演示视频。测试这款游戏的玩家称，女性球队的传接速度要快于男性球队。 

The vice² president of EA Sports said he was excited about the introduction of women's teams. He said it was one of the most important changes in the 22-year history of the video game. He said: "Bringing some of the best women's players and teams in the world to our franchise³ is a massive⁴ event for EA Sports, and we are equally excited about bringing millions of fans a new way to play." Alex Morgan, who plays for the U.S. national women’s team, spoke⁵ of her excitement at being one of the players in the FIFA 16 game. She said: “It is such an honour for…our team to be included in FIFA 16. I always wondered what it would be like to see our team in the game and it is very cool to know that it is now a reality.”

EA Sports副主席称，引入女子球队让他兴奋不已。他认为这是电子游戏22年历史中的一次重大变革。他称：“将全球最顶级女子球员和球队引入我们的系列游戏当中是一次壮举，令我们同样高兴的是，这会给数百万粉丝一种全新的游戏感受。”美国国家女子足球队队员阿莱克斯·摩根在谈及时称，能够成为FIFA 16的一名球员非常兴奋。她称：“能够融入到FIFA 16游戏当中非常荣幸。我总是在想我们的球队在游戏中会是什么样子，而现在这真的实现了，这太酷了。”
