The Soccer Stadium

足球場

Kathy and Evan take a look at Amsterdam's soccer stadium.

凱西和艾凡參觀一下阿姆斯特丹的足球場。

K:Man, this place is big!

凱西：天啊，這地方真大!

E:It has to be. Soccer is the number one sport throughout Europe. In the States we have the Big Three: baseball, football, and basketball, but there's only the Big One here in Europe: soccer.

艾凡：它一定得這么大。足球是歐洲最受歡迎的一項運動。在美國，我們有三大運動項目：棒球、美式足球和籃球，但是在歐洲只有一大運動項目：足球。

K:Can you play soccer, Evan?

凱西：艾凡，你會踢足球嗎?

E:I never have. I think my high school had a team, but I went out for baseball. Did you join any sports teams in school, Kathy?

艾凡：我從來沒踢過。我想我念的高中有一支足球校隊，但是我加入了棒球隊。凱西，你有沒有參加學校的任何運動隊伍呢?

K:In high school I went out for track. The 400- and 800-meter runs.

凱西：高中時我加入了田徑隊──四百公尺和八百公尺賽跑。

E:Wow! Those are tough races.

艾凡：哇!那些都是蠻艱辛的速度競賽。

K:Yeah. That's probably why I didn't do very well at them.

凱西：沒錯。那可能是我沒辦法在這兩項運動中表現(xiàn)優(yōu)異的原因。

E:It's more important to enjoy the game and get stronger from sports than to perform well in them.

艾凡：享受運動的樂趣和藉此強身比在運動項目上表現(xiàn)優(yōu)異更為重要。

K:Were you a good baseball player?

凱西：你棒球打得很好嗎?

E:I was so-so. Anyway, let's exercise a little. Last one to the goal post there is a rotten egg!

艾凡：我打得普普通通。不管怎樣，咱們來運動一下吧。最后一個跑到終點的人是王八蛋!
