地道美语听力播客706: 体育中的优势（双语）

Tammy: What are you doing this year to give your team an advantage?

汤米：这一年你会做些什么来让你的队伍处于优势?

Phillip: I have a few tricks up my sleeve. We’re going to have a winning season.

菲利普：我有一些巧计。这一赛季我们会赢。

Tammy: Are you going to start Wang?

汤米：你打算从王开始?

Phillip: No, I’m redshirting Wang. I want him to sit out his first year so he can sharpen his skills.

菲利普：不，我打算让王当红衫运动员(退出校代表队竞赛一年，以便提高技术再归队的回归运动员)。第一年不让他参加比赛，让他再磨练一下技能。

Tammy: I’m really surprised. Wang is already a great player and too good to sit on the bench.

汤米：我很惊讶，王已经是很优秀的队员了，太优秀以至于需要在场外坐冷板凳。

Phillip: Trust me, I know what I’m doing. He’ll get an extra year of eligibility and be even better next year.

菲利普：相信我，我知道自己在做什么。他将获得额外一年的资格，来年他会做的更好。

Tammy: If you say so. What about Schwartz?

汤米：如果你这么说，那史华兹怎么办呢?

Phillip: He’s out for the season. He’s hurt and won’t be able to play.

菲利普：他不参加赛季比赛，他受伤了，不能参加比赛。

Tammy: That’s a major blow! He’s your star player, right?

汤米：那真是一大问题，他是你的最佳球员，对吗?

Phillip: He’s a loss, but I have a secret weapon.

菲利普：他是我们一大损失，但是我有秘密武器。

Tammy: Oh, yeah?

汤米：哦，是吗?

Phillip: This new player, Pierre, is going to give the other teams a run for their money.

菲利普：这是新队员——皮尔，他是个很具挑战性、难应对的球员。

Tammy: Who is he?

汤米：他是谁?

Phillip: Just somebody I recruited. Let’s just say he’s talented beyond his years.

菲利普：他是我新招募的队员，他的天赋过人，超过他那个年纪应该有的能力。

Tammy: Huh? You mean he’s a ringer? You’re bringing in a ringer?

汤米：嗯?你是说他是个替身队员?你招进来一个替身队员?

Phillip: Of course not. He’s just a little more experienced than my other players and he’ll be a force to be reckoned with.

菲利普：当然不是，他只是比其他队员更多一点经验，他将会是很强势的力量。

Tammy: Only if nobody catches on.

汤米：除非没人知道会发生什么。

Phillip: Catches on to what?

菲利普：发生什么问题?
