DEFINITION

Noun

A venue for horse racing. Also refers to a venue for horse betting.

由来
  • 位于新加坡西北部的新加坡赛马公会（Singapore Turf Club）, 也称“克兰芝马场”（Kranji Turf Club），是新加坡唯一的马场。
  • 在新加坡，一般在马场看赛马的人都会在合法的情况下下注赌马。然而，实际上也有部分赌徒在赛马场以外的场地进行非法的赌马活动。因此，人们也将这些地方比喻为“马场”。
  • 2023年六月，新加坡财政部和国家发展部联合宣布新加坡赛马公会将在2027年三月关闭，并重新发展为住宅区。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Singapore’s only horse racing venue is the Singapore Turf Club, located in Kranji in the northwest of Singapore.
  • In Singapore, people who watch horse races at the racecourse generally place bets on the horses legally. However, there are also gamblers who conduct illegal horse betting activities at venues other than the racecourse. These venues are also referred to as “马场”.
  • In June 2023, the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of National Development jointly announced the closure of the Singapore Turf Club in March 2027 to make way for new housing developments.
例句
