This Business English Pod lesson is the first in a two-part series on idioms that come from football, or soccer.

這是2節(jié)英語(yǔ)商務(wù)播客中的第1節(jié)，將學(xué)到源自足球的習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)。

Groups of employees work together as teams. Teams, or companies, compete against each other, trying to win recognition, profits, or new clients. Given these similarities, it’s not surprising that language would be similar when we talk about business and sports. And a number of different sports have contributed idioms to the English language.

很多員工按團(tuán)隊(duì)來(lái)工作。團(tuán)隊(duì)，公司，彼此競(jìng)爭(zhēng)爭(zhēng)取認(rèn)同，利潤(rùn)或新的客戶。有這些相同點(diǎn)，談?wù)撋虡I(yè)和運(yùn)動(dòng)的語(yǔ)言有很多相似處也就不足為奇了。許多不同的運(yùn)動(dòng)都為英語(yǔ)貢獻(xiàn)了很多習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)。

Today, our focus will be on football idioms. As you listen to the dialog, you might hear some phrases that are new to you. Remembering the relationship between business and sports may help you out. Of course, we’ll go over all of them in the debrief and you’ll have a chance to practice them, too.

今天我們來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)與足球相關(guān)的習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)。聽(tīng)對(duì)話時(shí)，你可能聽(tīng)到一些陌生的短語(yǔ)。明白商業(yè)和運(yùn)動(dòng)的關(guān)系會(huì)幫助你理解。當(dāng)然，我們會(huì)重溫這些習(xí)語(yǔ)，同時(shí)你會(huì)有機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)練習(xí)使用它們。

We’ll be listening to Karl and Marilyn, two friends that work at a publishing firm. Karl is thinking about applying for a manager’s job at the company’s Sydney location. He’s not sure about it, though, so he asks Marilyn what she thinks.

我們會(huì)聽(tīng)到工作在同一家出版公司的Karl和 Marilyn之間的談話。Karl想申請(qǐng)公司悉尼分布的經(jīng)理職位。但是他拿不定注意，所以他詢問(wèn)Marilyn的建議。

Listening Questions：

1. Why does Karl want to leave his current job?

2. What are two things Marilyn knows about the Sydney branch?

3. What has Karl heard about the Sydney branch?
