罗马尼亚球衣惊现数学题

In an effort to combat Romania's poor school dropout rate and boost children's interest in math, the country's football federation has launched a novel initiative—having players swap their standard kit numbers for mathematical equations.

为了挽救不断走高的辍学率、同时激发青少年学习数学的兴趣，罗马尼亚足球协会发起了一项创意——让球员们把标准的球衣编号换成数学题。

According to the latest move, players’ numbers on their back were changed for math formulas during the training. The answers to the sum revealed their matching squad numbers. The measure was reinforced by a video shown at the Cluj Arena in Romania.

根据这项最新举措，在集训中球员们背后的号码都被换成了数学公式，公式的运算结果即为相应的球衣号码。罗马尼亚克鲁日体育场的大屏幕上也*放播**了相关视频，进一步推广该措施。

"Football and mathematics are not mutually exclusive," said Romandian Football Federation president Razvan Burleanu. "Sports and education are not only complementary but fundamental elements integrated in the training and perfection of children."

罗马尼亚足球协会主席拉兹万表示：“足球和数学之间并不排斥，体育和教育不仅可以互补，还可以成为进行儿童培养、完善儿童教育的重要因素。”
