體育美語-028 Hockey
Y: 今天我和Marc, Patrick一起看冰球比賽。Hi Mark, hi Patrick.
M: Yeh, hey Yang Chen. Thanks for inviting me to this hockey game, Yang Chen.
P: Yeh. So how did you ever get tickets to the Stanley Cup?
Y: Well, I could tell you but then I would have to kill you.
M: Never mind, I don't want to know that bad. But I'm surprised that you are a hockey fan.
Y: I'm not exactly a hockey fan. 我其實(shí)不太懂冰球。
M & P: Of course
M: Oh, I think you are just being modest.
P: Believe me. She is not being modest. Look! Our team just scored!
Y: 為什么每個(gè)人都往冰場(chǎng)扔帽子?
M: Because that player just scored a hat-trick.
Y: Hat-trick? 有人變魔術(shù)?
M: There is no magician. It means one player scores three goals in a game. When that happens, everybody throws their hat on the ice.
Y: 噢，有一個(gè)隊(duì)員進(jìn)三個(gè)球，我們就說他scored a hat-trick。 Quick, give me your hat! I'm going to throw it.
P: No way! Throw your own.
M: OK. You can have mine.
Y: I have another question. 剛才一個(gè)隊(duì)有五個(gè)隊(duì)員，另一個(gè)隊(duì)有四個(gè)。太不公平了。
M: That's because the first team was on a power play.
Y: what is a power play?
M: If a player breaks a rule, he has to sit in the penalty box. So the other team has an extra player and is on a power play.
Y: 犯規(guī)的隊(duì)員要坐到受罰席。那么另一個(gè)隊(duì)就是on the power play, 比對(duì)方多一個(gè)人，所以實(shí)力更強(qiáng)。I have another question.
M: Yang Chen, now I do realize you know very little about hockey.
P: Let me tell you, she knows very little about any sport.
Y: That's not true, I can play Mahjong.
P: Like I said, you don't know anything about any sport, because Mahjong is not a sport.
