每日一词学英语(107): haul

国际奥委会决定在2012年伦敦奥运会上将女子拳击列为正式比赛项目,英国希望借此在奥运会上多得几枚奖牌。British Olympic Association chief Andy Hunt hopes the inclusion of women's boxing in the 2012 Games will help Team GB's medal haul in London. (From Teletext: Olympics: Women boxers win 2012 fight)

Haul作名词在这里的意思是:(especially in sport) a large number of points, goals, etc.
*His haul of 40 goals in a season is a record.
Medal haul指的是a large number of medals。
