The word rodeo comes from the Spanish word rodear, meaning surround, used to describe a place where cowboys sold cows.(더워드로데오컴즈프뢈더스빼니쉬웟로데아, 미닝써라운드, 유스터디스크라이버플레이스웨어카우보이즈소울ㄷ카우즈.)
In the 1800s, cowboys from all over the southwestern United States came together a few times each year in order to sell their cows. After selling the cows, the cowboys often took part in competitions where they showed off the skills they had learned over the past year. In 1888, the people of Prescott, Arizona, began to sell tickets to these cowboy shows and prizes were given to the best cowboy acts.(인디에이닌헌드러즈, 카우보이즈프뢈올오우버더싸우쓰웨스턴유나이딧스테이츠 케임터게더어퓨타임즈이취이어이노더투셀데어카우즈. 엡터셀링더카우즈, 더카우보이즈오픈툭파틴캄퍼티션즈 웨어데이쑈우드업더스킬즈 데이햇런드오우버더패슷이어. 인에이닌에이디에잇, 더피플업프레스컷, 애리조우너, 비갠투셀티킷츠투디즈카우보이 쑈우즈앤프라이지즈워기번투더베슷카우보이액츠.)
Sine the original rodeo in 1888, the popularity of rodeos has grown. Now people can see them all year round in parts of North America and Australia. There are even rodeo competitions in Korea and Japan. For the cowboys who compete in the rodeos, they can get more than just a chance to show off skills. They can win a lot of money. For that reason, some people choose to become professional rodeo cowboys instead of professional ranch cowboys. Cowboys in the rodeo finals today can win millions of dollars.(씬스디어리지널로데오인에이닌에이디에잇, 더파펼래러티업로데오즈해즈그로운. 나우피플캔씨뎀올이어라운ㄷ인파츠업노쓰어메리커앤오스트레일려. 데어라이븐로데오캄퍼티션즈인커리어앤저팬. 포더카우보이즈후컴핏인더로데오즈, 데이캔겟모어댄저스어챈스투쑈우업스킬즈. 데이캔윈얼라럽머니. 퍼댓리즌, 썸피플추즈투비컴프러풰셔널로데오카우보이즈 인스떼덥프러풰셔널랜취카우보이즈. 카우보이즈인더로데오퐈이널즈터데이캔윈밀련즈업달러즈.)
The most popular events to see at rodeos are bull wrestling, catching and tying calves, and wild horse riding, which is done with and without a saddle.(더모우슷파펼러이붼츠투씨앳로데오즈아불레슬링, 캐칭앤앤타잉캐브즈, 앤와일ㄷ호스라이딩, 위치이즈던윗앤위다우러새들.)
In bull wrestling, the cowboy must jump onto the back of a running bull. Using only his hands, the cowboy gets the bull to stop by making it fall to the ground. The cowboy who can do this the fastest is the winner.(인불레슬링, 더카우보이머슷점프온투더배컵어러닝불. 유징온리히즈핸즈, 더카우보이게츠더불 투스탑바이메이킹잇폴투더그라운ㄷ. 더카우보이후캔두디스더퐤스티슷이즈더위너.) [252 words]
