除了足球，这个国家还有奔放的探戈和美味的牛肉——
今年夏天，第21届世界杯足球赛在俄罗斯举行。说到足球，少不了要提到阿根廷。
而说到阿根廷，有三样东西是阿根廷人民最骄傲的，第一当然是自由洒脱的足球，二是华丽高雅、热烈奔放的探戈舞，还有就是声名远扬的阿根廷牛肉了。
人世间的许多殊死搏斗大都发端于武力战争，而这些争斗大都凭借射箭、剑击、标枪、铁锤和拳击等。而作为影响力最大的运动之一的足球，在其诞生之初照样充满了野蛮和血腥。
相传，中国古代黄帝在逐鹿战中俘获了蚩尤，但没有将其头颅悬挂在高杆上号令天下，而是让他的士兵当成足球，在地上踢来踢去，当作对蚩尤部落的一种羞辱。据称，这就是洪荒时代足球运动的雏形，也就是蹴鞠的由来。
蹴鞠运动在中国可谓源远流长，其踢球高手初则当推苏东坡的书童，后则要数北宋权臣高俅。高俅就因为在绿茵场上的这套看家本领而受到宋徽宗的专宠。
凡此种种，促成国际足联在1980年公开表态说：“足球运动发源于中国。”2004年7月5日，亚洲足联秘书长维拉潘更是代表国际足联，向山东临淄颁发了足球起源地的纪念奖杯和证书。
随着时间的推移，世界的足球运动也在日新月异地发展，其文明化的程度也在不断提高。而足球运动的发展过程，本身也是人类文明不断进步的折射。蛮荒时代的野蛮血腥特征被彻底改造，最后铸就了现今的公平、公开、公正的竞争。到了1848年，首部足球运动的规则《剑桥规则》应运而生，规则中明确了比赛双方的上场人数等细则；1855年，世界第一个足球俱乐部谢菲尔德成立后，1909年，国际足联成立，足球运动就像雨后春笋般地蓬勃发展。拉丁美洲继欧洲之后，绿茵运动也如燎原之势遍地开花，尤其是南美国家如巴西、阿根廷、哥伦比亚等都先后跃居世界足坛的先进行列。
阿根廷足球队是南美和世界劲旅，曾19次获取重大赛事冠军，其中包括1978年和1986年的世界杯冠军。2008年，在北京奥运会上与巴西一起进入决赛；2014年与荷兰进入世界杯决赛。先后涌现了像帕萨雷拉、肯佩斯、马拉多纳和梅西等世界级足球名将。
马拉多纳是继巴西贝利之后的“世界球王”。他从小心怀大志，一心要以足球报国。他在绿茵场上健步如飞，行如闪电，勇若猛虎，是全队的灵魂。屡屡为国建功，他的足下功夫出神入化，不仅在阿根廷乃至南美州，甚至整个世界都享有无上荣光。
进入阿根廷，你就会领略到足球的氛围，不仅到处有球场，有比赛，而且，那里的男女老少无不在踢球或谈论足球赛事。尤其是那些毛头小伙子，从小就练就了一身看家本领，似乎生来就要当馬拉多纳的接班人。
“探戈”是西班牙文tango的译音，可见它自欧洲传入。上世纪三十年代又传入中国，特别在上海一带更是流行，因为它节奏明快，旋律优雅，很容易为人们所接受，尤其在舞厅更是风靡。中国改革开放之后，它更风靡大江南北，受到各阶层的青睐。
探戈舞是一种采用连续切分音并突出顿步的双人舞。其舞姿特点是上身平稳，腿部动作灵活多变，男女伴舞时，从头部到腰部保持自然挺直，动作稳健端庄。随着舞曲切分音的鲜明节奏，腿部动作就得相应作出前进、后退、侧身旋转、交叉换步等优美舞姿。
探戈音乐是一种带有几分怀乡念旧情调的乐曲，令人产生一种沉浑、忧郁之感，却十分优美动人。在十八世纪末到十九世纪初，大批欧洲人移民到布宜诺斯艾利斯，沉重的劳作和枯燥乏味的生活使他们常常怀念起大洋彼岸的故乡和亲人，正是这种情怀使探戈应运而生并植根于阿根廷土壤，同时吸收当地民族艺术特色渐渐地形成一种杂交艺术，然后传遍了整个拉丁美洲。
阿根廷人十分喜爱探戈。他们的生活富有浪漫情调，于是决定把1888年定为探戈的诞生之年。日常生活中经常歌舞升平，慢条斯理。尤其是男女之间谈情说爱，总少不了弦歌弹唱、闲情小酌，而一曲探戈更是家常便饭。在阿根廷人的幸福指数中，探戈是必不可少的文艺形式。如今它已经从“劣等市民的享受”转换成能登大雅之堂的世界经典乐曲。不过，它的演奏形式起了变化，不再光是由曼陀铃伴奏，而是加进了诸如小提琴、大提琴和钢琴等乐器。它不仅成为布宜诺斯艾利斯的社交舞蹈，而且走进世界各地的大剧院，成为阿根廷人的骄傲。
阿根廷素有“世界肉库和粮仓”之称，其天然牧场和人工牧场占全国总面积278万平方公里的55%。全国牲畜的80%集中在潘帕斯大草原，那里具有世界最大的活牛市场。自2000年以来，全国牛的出栏头数一直保持在每年5000万头左右，比阿根廷4000多万的人口总量还要多。阿根廷人对于小牛肉的需求量十分可观。阿根廷的牛肉出口只占小部分，大量是用来供应国内消费的。可见阿根廷人的口福不浅。
首都布宜诺斯艾利斯集中了全国四分之一的人口，大约在1000万之上。它与我工作的新华社圣地亚哥（智利首都）分社相距不远，中间只隔了一座科迪勒拉山脉。我去那里出差很方便。当我进得布市除了满街烤牛肉餐馆之外，马路两旁还到处摆设烤肉摊贩。满街青烟缭绕，焦香四溢，真叫人馋涎欲滴。
中国驻阿根廷大使汤永贵和夫人曹珉以及政务参赞刘伯鸣都是我的老相识、老同事。他们力尽地主之谊，选在一家上等餐馆让我品尝最好的小牛肉，以便一饱口福。
席间，我们一边叙旧，一边畅谈智阿两国的风土人情。酒过三巡，不觉微醺，感到味浓情更浓。他们介绍说，阿根廷和拉美其他许多国家都曾是西班牙的殖民地，有许多风俗习惯都带有欧洲风格。每当节假日大都有聚会弦歌跳舞、纵情弹唱的习俗，而且经常通宵达旦。饮红酒吃烤肉；喝白酒吃海鲜是最佳搭配。因此，几乎每家每户的后院都备有烤肉架和铁炉，到时扛出来架在草坪上供来客随意品尝。比较讲究的还有烤全牛的设备，可以边烤边上调料，精心烤制大致要花十来个小时，等到牛肉香嫩松软，滋滋作响时就可大快朵颐，于是，人们倾觞狂饮，一醉方休，直至东方发白。 Wonders of Argentina： Football， Tango and Veal
By Sun Guowei， our special reporter in Beijing
Argentina is famously defined by football， tango， and veal. I was a Xinhua News Agency journalist stationed in Chile for many years. Argentina was a big neighbor. Therefore naturally the three famous things of Argentina have stayed in my memory.
Football
Football， the most influential sporting game in the world， has been traced back to China. In 1980， FIFA announced that football originated in China. On July 5， 2004， Zibo， a city where the original form of the modern football was born， received a certificate from FIFA， which recognized Zibo as the birthplace of football.
But modern football evolved in the west. As civilization moved on， rules for fair play were introduced step by step. In 1848， a rule stipulated that players on each side must be equal. It was probably the first rule ever formulated for the fierce game. In 1855， the world’s first football club came into being in Sheffield， England. In 1909， FIFA came into being and football flourished across the world. The sport thrived in South America and Brazil and Argentina cut a brilliant figure in world competitions.
Argentina， in particular， is a top player in the football world. It has won 19 significant championships， including the FIFA World Cup in 1978 and 1986 respectively. At 2008 Beijing Olympic Games， Argentina and Brazil were in the final. At FIFA World Cup 2014， Argentina and Holland were in the final. Argentina has produced world-class football players such as Mario Kempes， Daniel Passarella， Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi.
Tango
Tango is a partner dance which originated in the 1880s along the River Plate， the natural border between Argentina and Uruguay. It was born in the impoverished port areas of these countries， where natives mixed with slave and European immigrant populations. The tango is the result of a mix of many dances that can be traced to countries in Europe and Africa. It then spread to the rest of the world. Many variations of this dance currently exist around the world. On August 31， 2009， UNESCO approved a joint proposal by Argentina and Uruguay to include the tango in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists.
Tango came to China in the 1930s and soon enjoyed great popularity in Shanghai and surrounding cities for its clear-cut rhythm， exotic melody， and elegance. After China started its modernization on a full scale through reform and opening up to the outside world in the late 1970s， Tango flourished in the oriental country. Veal
Argentina is famed as the world’s storage of meat and grain. The ranches account for 55% of the 2.78 million square kilometers of the land area of Argentina. About 80 % of the live stock of the country is in the Pampas， part of whose fertile lowlands are in Argentina. Since 2000， the country has been able to deliver about 50 million cattle to slaughterhouses annually. Veal is a key important food in Argentina and most veal is consumed at home. Only a small part of the beef produced is exported to overseas markets.
When I was working as a Xinhua News Agency journalist stationed in Santiago， the capital of Chile， a neighbor of Argentina， I often visited Buenos Aires on business. I had friends at Chinese embassy. More often than not， they regaled me with veal at a good restaurant in the capital. It was from them that I learned about Argentine people’s love for veal. The lifestyle in Buenos Aries carries many European elements. Barbecue is one of the European traditions popular around the city. Families often throw a barbecue party and they celebrate overnight. Veal is a key food at such barbecue parties.
