CANNON
大炮
The cannon is synonymous with Arsenal and is a reference to the military influence in Woolwich, where the Club was formed and based until 1913. The cannon on the Arsenal crest bears great similarity with those on the crest of the Royal Arsenal Gatehouse in Woolwich. Despite the Club's ties with the area being cut 91 years ago, the cannon remains a prominent Arsenal symbol, from the crest to official merchandise and stationery.
这尊大炮就是阿森纳的代名词，它也说明了作为阿森纳俱乐部的发源地和直到1913年基地的伍里奇市的军事色彩（译者注：1913年阿森纳从南伦敦的伍里奇搬迁到北伦敦）。阿森纳徽章上的大炮和伍里奇市皇家兵工厂大门上的徽章极为相似。虽然俱乐部和该地区的连续在91年中止了，这尊大炮仍然是阿森纳突出的标志，它出现在官方纪念品和办公用品之上。
CHAPMAN
查普曼
It's impossible to underestimate Herbert Chapman's impact on Arsenal. He transformed Arsenal with his his far-sighted ideas and methods. Off the pitch, Chapman's innovations included shirt numbers. On the pitch, he moulded Arsenal into football's dominant force, leading them to their first major honours - the 1930 FA Cup and the 1933 title - before his tragic death in 1934.
查普曼对阿森纳的贡献无论怎样表彰都是不为过的。他以前瞻性的思想和方式改变了阿森纳俱乐部。在场下，查普曼的创造包括在球衣上印号码，在场上，他把阿森纳变成了球场上的统治力量。在1934年去世前他带领球队获得了最早的重要荣誉－－1930年的足总杯和1933年联赛冠军。
CLOCK
大钟
The famous clock at Highbury actually started its life overlooking the North Bank. It was originally used to count down time during matches, an innovation of Herbert Chapman. The FA ordered Arsenal to remove it so Chapman merely changed the timepiece to a conventional clock. It was moved to the south end of the ground following the building of the North Bank roof.
海布里球场著名的大钟最早是安装在北看台上，在比赛中用来倒计时间，这也是查普曼的创新。英格兰足总要求阿森纳把钟拆掉，于是查普曼只是把它换成了一个普通时钟。它被挪到紧挨着北看台顶的看台的最南端。
COMMUNITY / CHARITY SHIELD
社区盾/慈善盾杯
Arsenal have won the Shield 11 times and shared it once - in 1991 - after a draw with Tottenham. The Gunners first took part in the traditional curtain-raiser to the English season in 1930, beating Sheffield Wednesday at Stamford Bridge. In fact, of the 10 matches contested from 1930 to 1948, Arsenal won six. Now rebranded as the FA Community Shield, the showpiece will feature Arsenal for a third successive year when they face Manchester United in August.
阿森纳赢得了11次该项赛事，并列冠军一次－－那是在1991年－－和托特纳姆踢平。在1930年，阿森纳第一次参加这项作为英格兰赛季揭幕战的赛事，在斯坦福桥战胜谢菲尔德星期三队。实际上，在1930年到1948年举行的10次慈善盾杯中阿森纳六次捧杯。现在该项赛事更名为足总社区盾杯，今年8月阿森纳对曼联的比赛将是阿森纳将连续第三年出战该项比赛。
COPENHAGEN
哥本哈根
Specifically the Parken Stadium, scene of arguably Arsenal's greatest European night. George Graham's team, shorn of top scorer Ian Wright, were overwhelming underdogs against the might of Parma in the 1994 Cup Winners' Cup final. But Alan Smith's goal gave them the lead and a heroic defensive display secured the Gunners' second European trophy.
特别是帕根球场见证了也许是阿森纳在欧洲赛场最伟大的夜晚。在1994年优胜者杯决赛中面对强大的帕尔马，格拉汉姆带领的以赖特为箭头的球队完全不被看好。但是阿兰 史密斯的进球使阿森纳获得领先，英雄般的防守最终为阿森纳获得了第二座欧洲奖杯。
CREST
徽章
The Club adopted its first crest in 1888, based largely on the coat of arms of the Borough of Woolwich. It has been developed down the years, most notably when the Latin quotation 'Victoria Concordia Crescit' (translation: 'Victory grows out of harmony') was added in 1949. The latest crest design - without the quotation - was formulated in 2002 as the Club embraces the future and moves forward.
俱乐部在1888年采用的第一个徽章，很大程度上是以伍里奇市的盾徽为蓝本的。徽章历经修改，最显著的1949年是加上拉丁语字样‘Victoria Concordia Crescit' （译为：和谐带来胜利）。最新的徽章设计没有这一字样，是在2002年采用的，标志着俱乐部拥抱未来，大步前进。
