美語情景對話 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?

託德：嗨，洛伊斯，你認爲世界盃，不是歐洲盃怎麼樣？

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：目前來看，這是一項有趣的錦標賽。我沒想到會是希臘和葡萄牙在決賽中相遇。我對英格蘭的表現有失望，不過我想他們是被更強的球隊打敗了。

Todd: Yeah, really, you think so!

託德：對，你真的這麼想嗎？

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：我想那天葡萄牙隊可能比我們踢得好，不過我們不太走運，因爲我們在最後一刻的進球不算，但是，我想最後的結果，他們理應獲勝。

Todd: Mm, so what happened in the match?

託德：嗯，那比賽中發生什麼了？

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：如果我沒記錯的話，比分是2比2平，不過我現在記不太清了。不對，是1比1平，因爲英格蘭在最後時刻進球使比分變成了2比1，但是那個進球不算，所以兩對打了加時賽，然後葡萄牙隊在加時賽中先進了球，不過之後英格蘭隊搬平了比分，兩對打成2比2平，之後就進入了點球大戰，大衛·貝克漢姆射失了點球，太糟糕了，射失了點球，我想後來葡萄牙隊也射失了一個點球，不過英格蘭隊再次踢丟了點球，然後葡萄牙隊的守門員踢進了點球，比賽就結束了。

Todd: Ah, well, maybe next time.

託德：啊，嗯，也許下次。

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

洛伊斯：也許，下屆世界盃將於2006年在德國舉行。

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

託德：你認爲誰會奪得冠軍？

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：第一場比賽就是葡萄牙對陣希臘，當時希臘以2比1贏了葡萄牙，不過儘管希臘處於下風，我想他們可能會贏，不過這屆歐洲盃是在葡萄牙舉行的，也許葡萄牙會在主場觀衆的助威中拿下冠軍。

Todd: Are you going to watch it?

託德：你會看決賽嗎？

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，可是決賽時間是日本時間的凌晨3點45分，我想我不會犧牲我的睡眠時間看比賽。
