BBC地道英語口語:Golden Goal 金球制
Jo: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Jo.
Jean: And I’m Jean.
Jo: Today we’re going to look at an expression that you might not find in your English textbook
Jean: 是的，和漢語一樣，英語裏也是有着非常多的成語和俗話的，所以要想能聽得懂英國人日常的說話聊天，就一定要來學學這些他們常用的通俗詞語。Jo, 我們今天要來學習的新詞是什麼呢?
Jo: Today’s expression is ‘golden goal’.
Jean: Golden goal. 給我們講講這個詞組的意思好嗎？
Jo: Well, a golden goal is something that happens in football. It is a goal scored in extra time that gives instant victory.
Jean: 原來a golden goal可以叫它“金球制”，就是在足球加時賽中，先進球的一方將直接取得比賽的勝利的足球賽規則。
Jo: So you could say ‘China beat Japan in extra time with a golden goal.’
Jean: 就是說“中國足球隊在加時賽中金球制勝，擊敗了日本隊”。

A: Did you watch the football last night?
B: Yes, but Manchester were lucky to get the golden goal. I didn’t think they were going to win.
Jean: Do you watch football Jo?
Jo: Sometimes. I like the idea of the golden goal. It makes games more exciting.
Jean: Really?
Jo: Yes. But sometimes it can be hard for the team that loses.
Jean: Why is that?
Jo: Well, you can dominate a game, then one golden goal and you lose!
Jean: I see. 好了，讓我們來回顧一下今天學到的新詞，a golden goal “金球制”，就是在足球加時賽中，先進球的一方將直接取得比賽的勝利的足球賽規則。And that’s all we have time for today.
