stands: 看台

在8月25日进行的欧洲冠军杯第三轮资格赛次回合的三场比赛的争夺中，主场作战的国际米兰1比1战平了乌克兰的顿涅茨克矿工队，并以3比1的总比分轻松出线。在空空的看台上，只有国米老板莫拉蒂和主席法切蒂等俱乐部高层成为这场比赛的观众。请看外电报道：

There was no celebrating in the stands after Inter Milan's Champions League qualifier on Wednesday. Inter's 1-1 draw with Shakhtar Donetsk, which gave the Italian team a 3-1 aggregate win, was played in an empty San Siro stadium because of a ruling that bars fans from Inter's first four Champions League matches. The penalty was assessed by the Union of European Football Associations after AC Milan goalkeeper Dida was hit by a flare thrown by a fan during a quarterfinal against Inter last season.

句中的"stands" means a large structure at a sports ground, usually with a sloping floor and sometimes a roof, where people either stand or sit to watch a sports event.意思是"看台"。如：Fighting broke out in the stands (= stand) five minutes before the end of the match.（比赛结束前五分钟看台上爆发了打斗。）又如：We've got the tickets for the North Stand.（我们有北看台的票。）
