The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race is a rowing race in Britain between the two oldest universities in the world the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge.
牛津劍橋賽艇對(duì)抗賽是在英國(guó)舉辦的賽艇比賽，參賽者是世界上歷史最悠久的兩所學(xué)校——牛津大學(xué)和劍橋大學(xué)。
The Boat Race is held between the Oxford University Boat Club and the Cambridge University Boat Club on the Thames in London.
該賽事由牛津大學(xué)賽艇俱樂(lè)部和劍橋大學(xué)賽艇俱樂(lè)部在倫敦的泰晤士河上舉行。
Traditionally, members of both teams are in blue dress, yet Oxford in dark blue and Cambridge in light blue,
依照傳統(tǒng)，比賽雙方均著藍(lán)衣，但牛津隊(duì)顏色較深，劍橋隊(duì)顏色較淺，
so they are respectively known as "Dark Blue" and "Light Blue".
因此兩隊(duì)分別被稱為“深藍(lán)”和“淺藍(lán)”。
The first race was in 1829 and it has been held annually since 1856，except during the two world wars.
首次比賽是在1829年，自1856年以來(lái)每年舉辦一次，兩次世界大戰(zhàn)期間除外。
It takes place generally on the last Saturday of March or the first Saturday of April.
它一般是在三月的最后一個(gè)星期六或四月的第一個(gè)星期六舉行。

第二次賽事于1836年舉行，比賽地點(diǎn)轉(zhuǎn)移到了倫敦。
During the following couple of years, there was disagreement over where the race should be held, with Oxford preferring Henley and Cambridge preferring London.
在接下來(lái)的幾年，雙方就比賽的舉辦地問(wèn)題產(chǎn)生了分歧：牛津偏愛(ài)亨利，而劍橋更喜歡倫敦。
It was not until the formation of the Oxford University Boat Club that the race between the two universities resumed.
直到牛津大學(xué)賽艇俱樂(lè)部成立，兩校之間的比賽才重新開(kāi)始。
