美語情景對話 第1090期:New York Sports 紐約體育運動

Warren: So, thanks for telling me about the ballet and all that kind of stuff, but I'm really more into sports and things like that. Do you know of any other things you can do in New York?

沃倫：謝謝你給我介紹芭蕾舞這一類的藝術，不過我更喜歡體育。你知道紐約還有什麼活動嗎？

Antoinette: Oh, absolutely. There are a lot of events for a sports enthusiast in New York. We've got basketball. The Knicks play. They're an NBA team. We've got baseball. The Yankees and the Mets play, and there's a feud. Yankees fans hate Mets fans and Mets fans hate Yankees fans.

安託萬內特：哦，當然有了。紐約有很多供體育愛好者觀看的賽事。我們有籃球隊，紐約尼克斯隊，這是一隻美職籃球隊。我們還有棒球隊，紐約揚基隊和紐約大都會隊，這兩支球隊是老對手。揚基隊球迷討厭大都會隊的球迷，而大都會隊的球迷也討厭揚基隊的球迷。

Warren: Right. They have two baseball teams.

沃倫：好。紐約有兩支棒球隊。

Antoinette: That's right.

安託萬內特：沒錯。

Warren: Wow.

沃倫：哇哦。

Antoinette: Exciting. We even have a Subway Series. Well, it used to be a Subway Series because the teams would play different stadiums for about a week or so and the fans would just switch back and forth from one stadium to the other. But I think they recently built one stadium for both teams.

安託萬內特：這非常激動人心。我們還有地鐵大賽。以前紐約有地鐵大賽，兩支球隊要在一週左右的時間在不同的體育館進行比賽，球迷要在兩隊比賽的場館之間來回移動。不過，我想他們爲兩支球隊建造了一個體育館。

Warren: Oh. Do you think one team is more popular than the other?

沃倫：哦。你認爲一支球隊比另一支球隊更受歡迎嗎？

Antoinette: I think probably the Yankees, unfortunately.

安託萬內特：不幸的是，我認爲揚基隊更受歡迎。

Warren: The Yankees.

沃倫：揚基隊。

Antoinette: Yeah. My family was a Mets fan and don't tell anyone else in my family that I said that.

安託萬內特：對。我家人是紐約大都會隊的球迷，不要告訴我的家人，我剛纔說揚基隊更受歡迎。

Warren: Oh, so I guess, they don't get along with each other?

沃倫：哦，我想他們之間相處得不好。

Antoinette: Oh, not at all.

安託萬內特：一點也不好。

Warren: Oh well. Well, I'm from Canada. I really like hockey. I know that you guys have the Rangers.

沃倫：哦，我來自加拿大。我非常喜歡冰球。我知道你們有紐約遊騎兵隊。

Antoinette: Yeah. We do have the Rangers. They play at Madison Square Garden, so you could easily find, like, buy tickets to see a game there. That's the same place where the Knicks play.

安託萬內特：對。紐約遊騎兵隊。他們的主場在麥迪遜廣場花園，你看，在紐約買票看比賽非常方便。那個場館也是紐約尼克斯隊的主場。

Warren: Oh, they both play at the same place?

沃倫：哦，他們都在同一個場館打比賽？

Antoinette: Yes, they do.

安託萬內特：對，沒錯。

Warren: Maybe, I could go to a basketball and a hockey game.

沃倫：也許，我可以去看一場籃球賽或是冰球賽。

Antoinette: You probably could if you stayed long enough. I think they have different seasons, right?

安託萬內特：如果你旅行的時間夠長，你可以看場比賽。我想不同球隊的賽季不同，對吧？

Warren: Oh, do they?

沃倫：哦，是嗎？

Antoinette: Yeah. Madison Square Garden is pretty big though, so maybe there's more than one arena. I'm not sure. I've only been there two or three times in my life.

安託萬內特：對。麥迪遜廣場花園非常大，可能不只一個場館。我也不清楚。我只去過兩三次。

Warren: Oh, okay.

沃倫：哦，好。

Antoinette: Well, we also have the US Open, if you like tennis.

安託萬內特：你喜歡網球嗎？我們還有美國網球公開賽。

Warren: Right.

沃倫：好。

Antoinette: Yeah. That's held in Queens, not on Manhattan.

安託萬內特：嗯，美網在皇后區舉辦，不在曼哈頓。

Warren: Oh, okay. What about the US Tennis Open but there's also the US Golf Open. Is that in New York as well?

沃倫：哦，好。除了美網以外，還有美國高爾夫公開賽。這個比賽也在紐約舉辦嗎？

Antoinette: In New York? I don't think the – is it?

安託萬內特：在紐約嗎？我不知道，是在紐約辦嗎？

Warren: I'm not sure.

沃倫：我也不確定。

Antoinette: I don't think that the US Open for golf is in New York. I think – no, I don't think that's New York. Yeah. No.

安託萬內特：我想美國高爾夫公開賽不在紐約舉行。我想應該不是在紐約，不是。

Warren: Okay. Have you seen tennis before?

沃倫：好。你以前看過網球比賽嗎？

Antoinette: Yes, I have. I saw Serena Williams play.

安託萬內特：我看過。我看過塞雷娜·威廉姆斯的比賽。

Warren: Oh, she's great.

沃倫：哦，她打得很好。

Antoinette: She is. Yeah. Powerful woman.

安託萬內特：沒錯。她是很有力量的女性。

Warren: Yeah. I'd like to see her play.

沃倫：對。我想看她的比賽。

Antoinette: Yeah.

安託萬內特：嗯。
