A Solemn Moment (庄严时刻)

It is usual at international soccer matches to play the national anthems of the competing teams.

The players line up (列队) in the center of the field and the anthems of their countries are played through loudspeakers.

It is a kind of good manners given to visitors from other countries.

A few years ago, Greece was playing R. O. Korea in an important international soccer game.

As is often the case with international sports events, the game was not played in either team's home country.

It was played in a third, “neutral (中立的)” country.

As the two teams walked onto the pitch, music was played to the crowd over the loudspeakers.

The R. O. Korean players immediately stood to attention (立正).

They all thought it was the Greek national anthem.

The Greek players knew it was not their national anthem, but they stood to attention too.

They thought it was the Korean national anthem.

The spectators (观众) were surprised by the behavior of the teams and wondered what was happening.

Then, as all the players stood to attention, a voice came over the loudspeakers.

Only then did the spectators and the players know that the music was an advertisement for a new brand toothpaste (牙膏牌子).
