是誰最早成立的啦啦隊

Cheerleading traces its roots to the late 19th century, whencrowdsbegan to chant and yell to encourage their team. Credit for thefirstorganized cheer is often given to a University of Minnesotastudentnamed Johnny Campbell who got the Gopher faithful to shoutduring alosing effort in the 1898 season。

啦啦隊的由來和發展要回溯到19世紀後期，那時候人們就開始有節奏的齊聲爲他們的球隊喝彩、吶喊助威。第一次有證可查的、組織以齊呼口號方式爲球隊加油的是明尼蘇達大學學生約翰尼？坎貝爾，他在1898年的賽季中指揮大家爲他們的球隊助威鼓勁。

到了20世紀20年代女性開始介入

For the first few decades of its history, cheerleading was anall-male activity, but by the 1920's women joined as well. Nowadays,over 90% of America's cheerleading participants are female。

在啦啦隊成立之初，隊員通常由男生組成，到了20世紀20年代，女性開始介入。現在，美國有超過九成的啦啦隊成員是女性。

Though professional football teams had had cheerleaders since the1960s, nothing did more to popularize cheerleading than the gals fromDallas, who gained national attention with their revealing outfits and sophisticated danceroutines。

專業的橄欖球隊從20世紀60年代就各自有了自己的啦啦隊

儘管專業的橄欖球隊從20世紀60年代就各自有了自己的啦啦隊，但這些啦啦隊除了歡呼之外並無特別的喝彩方式，直到達拉斯的姑娘們出現後纔有了改觀，這些女孩用她們暴露的裝束和複雜的舞步贏得了全國觀衆的矚目。

Cheerleading remained in its supporting role until the 1980s, when cheerleading competitions, organized by the National Cheerleaders Association and other groups, started to grow in popularity。

20世紀80年代之前，啦啦隊主要起支持作用。之後，美國啦啦隊協會開始組織啦啦隊之間進行比賽，其他組織也開始興起。

Today, cheerleaders can be found at almost any kind of sporting event, including the Olympics and the Cricket World Cup。

如今，各種體育賽事中隨處可見啦啦隊員的身影，包括奧運會和板球世界盃賽。
