美语情景对话 第225期:Football 足球

Todd: Hey, Lois, so what do you think about the World, not the World Cup, the Euro Cup so far?

托德：嗨，洛伊斯，你认为世界杯，不是欧洲杯怎么样？

Lois: So far it's been an interesting tournament. I didn't expect to see Greece and Portugal make it to the final. I was a little bit disappointed with England's performance, but I think they were beaten by a better team.

洛伊斯：目前来看，这是一项有趣的锦标赛。我没想到会是希腊和葡萄牙在决赛中相遇。我对英格兰的表现有失望，不过我想他们是被更强的球队打败了。

Todd: Yeah, really, you think so!

托德：对，你真的这么想吗？

Lois: I think on the day Portugal probably played better than we did and even though we were unlucky because we had a goal disallowed in the last minute, but yeah, at the end of the day, I think at the end of the day, they probably deserved to win.

洛伊斯：我想那天葡萄牙队可能比我们踢得好，不过我们不太走运，因为我们在最后一刻的进球不算，但是，我想最后的结果，他们理应获胜。

Todd: Mm, so what happened in the match?

托德：嗯，那比赛中发生什么了？

Lois: So I think if I remember correctly, the match was 2-all, but I can't remember exactly now. No, 1-all because at the last minute England scored to make it 2-1, but that goal was disallowed so then it went to extra time and then I think Portugal scored first, then England scored again to make it 2-all and then it went to penalties, and David Beckham missed, uh a terrible terrible goal, missed a penalty, and then I think Portugal missed one and then England missed again and then Portugal's goalkeeper scored and then it was all over.

洛伊斯：如果我没记错的话，比分是2比2平，不过我现在记不太清了。不对，是1比1平，因为英格兰在最后时刻进球使比分变成了2比1，但是那个进球不算，所以两对打了加时赛，然后葡萄牙队在加时赛中先进了球，不过之后英格兰队搬平了比分，两对打成2比2平，之后就进入了点球大战，大卫·贝克汉姆射失了点球，太糟糕了，射失了点球，我想后来葡萄牙队也射失了一个点球，不过英格兰队再次踢丢了点球，然后葡萄牙队的守门员踢进了点球，比赛就结束了。

Todd: Ah, well, maybe next time.

托德：啊，嗯，也许下次。

Lois: Maybe, maybe World Cup in Germany in 2006.

洛伊斯：也许，下届世界杯将于2006年在德国举行。

Todd: So who do you think is going to win it all?

托德：你认为谁会夺得冠军？

Lois: So in the first match, it was Portugal against Greece and Greece won 2-1, so although Greece are the underdogs, I think maybe they can win, but it is in Portugal, so maybe Portugal will win with the home crowd.

洛伊斯：第一场比赛就是葡萄牙对阵希腊，当时希腊以2比1赢了葡萄牙，不过尽管希腊处于下风，我想他们可能会赢，不过这届欧洲杯是在葡萄牙举行的，也许葡萄牙会在主场观众的助威中拿下冠军。

Todd: Are you going to watch it?

托德：你会看决赛吗？

Lois: I would love to watch it, but in Japan it's on at 3:45 in the morning, and so I don't think I'm going to miss my sleep to watch it.

洛伊斯：我想看，可是决赛时间是日本时间的凌晨3点45分，我想我不会牺牲我的睡眠时间看比赛。
