Fans preparing for an international friendly between Romania and Spain may have needed their calculators handy.
對于打算觀看羅馬尼亞和西班牙之間一場國際友誼賽的球迷們來說，手邊可能必須得備上計算器了。

In an effort to combat Romania's poor school dropout rate and boost children's interest in math, the country's football federation has kickstarted a novel initiative - having players swap their standard kit numbers for mathematical equations.
為了挽救不斷走高的輟學率、同時激發青少年學習數學的興趣，羅馬尼亞足球協會發起了一項創意——讓球員們把標準的球衣編號換成數學題。

The recently devised concept for the squad numbers, printed on the back of training tops ahead of the clash against La Roja, was reinforced by a video shown at the Cluj Arena describing the measure.
根據這項最新舉措，在對陣西班牙隊之前的集訓中，球員們背后的號碼都被換成了這樣的公式。羅馬尼亞克魯日體育場的大屏幕上也播放了相關視頻，進一步推廣該措施。

The answer to the sum on the back of each player's shirt reveals their squad number.
公式的運算結果即為相應的球員號碼。

"Football and mathematics are not mutually exclusive," said Romandian Football Federation president Razvan Burleanu. "We must look at sports and education as not only complementary but fundamental elements integrated in the training and perfection of children."
羅馬尼亞足球協會主席拉茲萬表示：“足球和數學之間并不排斥，體育和教育不僅可以互補，還可以成為進行兒童培養、完善兒童教育的重要因素。”

The friendly ended 0-0, which was part of their preparations for Euro 2016, where they face France, Switzerland and Albania in Group A.
該友誼賽是2016歐洲杯的熱身賽，最終以0比0結束。本屆歐洲杯，羅馬尼亞與法國、瑞士及阿爾巴尼亞都分在A組。
