实战口语情景对话：Football 足球

Todd: Sarah, so what sports do you like?

托德：萨拉，你喜欢什么运动?

Sarah: My favorite spectator sport is football. I support Newcastle United in England.

萨拉：我最喜欢的运动是足球。我支持英国的纽卡斯尔联队。

Todd: Newcastle United.

托德：纽卡斯尔联队。

Sarah: Newcastle United, Yeah.

萨拉：对，纽卡斯尔联队。

Todd: Are they a good team?

托德：他们是一支强队吗?

Sarah: Um, yeah, I think they're pretty good. They finished fifth in the premiership this year, so they're near the top.

萨拉：嗯，对，我认为他们非常好。他们在今年的英超联赛中获得了第五名的成绩，所以他们离冠军已经很近了。

Todd: OK, so right now we have the Euro cup. And last night England played.

托德：好，现在正在举行欧洲杯。昨晚有英国队的比赛。

Sarah: They did.

萨拉：是的。

Todd: Yeah, did you see the game?

托德：嗯，你看那场比赛了吗?

Sarah: Ah, no I was going to watch it tonight actually in Shibuya but I'm thinking maybe not now because we lost on penalties.

萨拉：没有，我本来打算今晚去涉谷看比赛的，不过我现在可能不会去看了，因为我们在点球大战中落败了。

Todd: Yeah, what was the score?

托德：对，比分是多少?

Sarah: Ah, the final score was 2 all (2-2) and then it went to penalties and I think it was 6-4. So England always lose on penalties.

萨拉：啊，最终比分是2比2平，之后点球大战的结果好像是6比4。英国总是在点球大战中输球。

Todd: They always lose on penalties?

托德：他们总是在点球大战中输球吗?

Sarah: Yeah.

萨拉：是这样的。

Todd: Well, sorry. Maybe in the World Cup, next time.

托德：嗯，真遗憾。可能下次的世界杯会有好表现。

Sarah: Maybe. Maybe. Yeah.

萨拉：也许吧。也许。

Todd: Now do you ever play football?

托德：你踢足球吗?

Sarah: No, I've never played.

萨拉：不，我从来没踢过。

Todd: Never.

托德：从来没有。

Sarah: Never played, no.

萨拉：对，从来没踢过。

Todd: OK. Do you ever go and watch games in Newcastle?

托德：好的。那你在纽卡斯尔看过足球比赛吗?

Sarah: Um, it's very difficult to watch games in Newcastle because it's a big club and it's Premiereship and you have to book in advance quite a few years but I've seen some first division football clubs play against each other.

萨拉：嗯，在纽卡斯尔看比赛非常难，因为它在英超联赛中算大的俱乐部，你必须要提前好几年订票，不过我看过几场甲级联赛的比赛。

Todd: You have to get tickets two years in advance?

托德：你要提前两年订票吗?

Sarah: For the big clubs, yeah. They're booked up.

萨拉：对大俱乐部来说，是这样的。那些票会订光的。

Todd: That's pretty intense. So when there's a game on TV then what do you do? Do you watch it at home? Do you go to a pub?

托德：门票很紧张啊。那电视上放足球比赛时你会怎么做呢?在家里看吗?还是去酒吧看?

Sarah: Ah, it depends on the game. I like it and I like Premeireship football, and I like World Cup football and Euro 2000 but I wouldn't watch particularly a first division game on the television, but normally I would go to the pub with friends and watch the game.

萨拉：哦，这取决于是什么比赛。我喜欢看英超比赛，喜欢看世界杯，喜欢看2000年欧洲杯，但我不会在电视上看甲级联赛的比赛，一般我会和朋友一起去酒吧看比赛。

Todd: Do you think that athletes make too much money?

托德：你认为运动员赚的钱是不是过多?

Sarah: I think footballers do. Yeah, I think they do. I think they do a good job but I think they're incredibly overpaid.

萨拉：我认为足球运动员赚的钱过多。对，我认为是。我认为他们表现很好，可是我觉得他们的收入过高。

Todd: Yeah, I think it is the same thing in the states. I think they make too much money.

托德：没错，我觉得美国也是这种情况。我认为他们的收入太高了。
