地道美語聽力播客839: 運動選拔賽（雙語）

Marcela: All right, you’re ready for these tryouts. You’ve passed your physical. You’ve trained for months. You’re going to make that team.
馬賽拉：好了，你已準備好參加這些選拔賽了。你通過了體能測試，經(jīng)過了幾個月的訓練。你會成為團隊的一員的。
Kenji: It’s okay. I don’t need a pep talk. I’m just going to do the best I can.
賢治：沒事的，你不用為我打氣。我只需盡全力去做就行了。
Marcela: Yes, but you want to have your head in the right place. You’re going to dominate the field. You’re going to intimidate the other players.
馬賽拉：對，但是你應該有良好的思想準備。你要在賽場上占據(jù)主導地位。你要震懾住其他選手。
Kenji: No, I only want to impress the coach. I’m going to play hard and hold nothing back.
賢治：不，我只想給教練留下深刻印象。我會勇往直前、拼盡全力賽一場。
Marcela: Yes, that’s fine, but you want to send a message to the other players that you’re a force to be reckoned with.
馬賽拉：那好吧，但是你要給其他選手傳遞一個信息，讓他們感受到你是一個不可小覷的對手。
Kenji: I’m going to have faith in my abilities, and hope for the best.
賢治：我只需要對我自己的能力有信心，然后盡量往好處想。
Marcela: At least try to look tough. Try scowling at the other players like you can’t wait to get them on the field so you can crush them.
馬賽拉：至少試著讓自己看起來很難對付。試著怒容滿面好像迫不及待要上賽場干掉他們一樣。
Kenji: [sigh] I tell you what, why don’t you scowl for me? I think you’re much scarier than any player who’s ever played this game.
賢治：（嘆氣）聽我說，不如你對他們怒容滿面？我覺得你比任何一個參加過這個比賽的選手都更加膽怯害怕。
