每次看美國隊比賽，總有美女啦啦隊在一旁吶喊助威，風頭直逼場上比賽的隊員。那么你知道美國啦啦隊是怎么來的嗎？
Just as any anything else, cheerleading has quite a history behind it. In ancient times spectators cheered for runners in races held during the first ever Olympic Games in ancient Greece. In the 1860's students in Great Britain began cheering at competitive sporting events and soon the idea spread to the United States. At Princeton in New Jersey, in 1865 the first pep club was formed and they created the first-known cheer:
和其他任何事物一樣，啦啦隊的背后也頗有一段歷史。在古希臘第一次奧林匹克運動會所舉辦的賽跑比賽中，古時的觀眾們就曾為賽跑者歡呼喝彩。到了19世紀60年代，大不列顛帝國的學子們開始在競技體育賽事中歡呼助威，隨后不久這一形式就傳到了美國。1865年，在新澤西州的普林斯頓大學，第一個(旨在創造體育比賽刺激氣氛的)活力俱樂部誕生了，他們發明了已知最早的歡呼口號：
"Tah rah rah
Tiger Tiger Tiger
Sis sis sis
Boom boom boom
Aaaahhhhh!
Princton! Princeton! Princeton!"
