世界杯你支持哪個球隊

　　2010年世界杯開賽在即，關(guān)于足球的討論空前高漲，首當(dāng)其沖的話題自然是對各個球隊的態(tài)度了。咱們今天就說說“支持某個隊”的英文表達。

　　A: The opening match of 2010 World Cup will take place between the host, South Africa, and Mexico, one of the strongest teams in the Americas. Which team do you root for?

　　2010年世界杯的開幕戰(zhàn)是東道主南非隊對美洲的勁旅墨西哥隊，你支持哪只球隊？

　　B: Neither, I am a big fan of Argentina. What is your favorite team?

　　兩個都不支持，我是阿根廷隊的鐵桿球迷，你呢？

　　A: My favorite team is the Netherlands. However, I am Korean, which means I definitely root for the Korean national team。

　　我最喜歡的是荷蘭隊。不過，因為我是韓國人，所以我當(dāng)然也要支持韓國隊。

　　B: OK. I am curious to know if those two teams have ever played against each other during the World Cup。

　　哦，不過不知道這兩支隊有沒有在世界杯上交戰(zhàn)過。

　　A: Yes, I remember in the 1998 World Cup hosted by France, Holland beat Korea 5-0 in the first round. After that, the Koreans hired a Dutch head coach hoping that Korean players could get some "Dutch influence" from him。

　　有的，1998年法國世界杯小組賽上荷蘭隊曾5:0大勝韓國隊。后來，韓國人請了一位荷蘭人做國家隊主教練，希望他們的球員接受一些荷蘭足球的影響。

　　B: I think I know this Dutch guy's name. Is he Hiddink?

　　我想我知道那個荷蘭人是誰了，是不是叫希丁克？

　　A: Yes, he led Korea into the semifinals in 2002 World Cup, and then became a Korean national hero。

　　沒錯。因為他在2002年世界杯上帶領(lǐng)韓國隊打進了半決賽，于是便成了韓國的民族英雄。
