央视国际 2003年07月11日 16:58
大家好，欢迎继续收看最新英语教学节目《胜利之门》。
今天我们将一起来观看本片第13讲。在学习之前我们来简单回顾一下
上集的内容。
Hello everyone, this is Zoe from CCTV channel 10.
Paul抓住各种机会来获得Lucia的好感。
在决定Peter和Manni命运的训练赛中，
Peter因为平时不训练不认真而表现不佳，
Manni为了帮他而放弃了自己的进球机会，
这让Alex非常恼火。比赛结束后，Alex让Peter离开球队。
而Peter说，下一个离开的可能就是Manni.
Manni能在球队留下吗？Alex还会给他机会吗？
In the last part, we also learned some expressions, such as
"Look forward to", "have nothing to do with", "it's very sweet of you", "in trouble" and so on ... After the practice match,
Peter was told to leave London Rangers,
it seemed that Manni would be the next one.
“In an important match Alex tests his new players out".
test out表示“检验"或考验"
The first sentence is about how to make a request.
I'm sorry about the delay, Manni,
Mr Carter will be as you as soon as possible.
很抱歉耽误您的时间，Carter先生会尽快过来的。
--Could you cut my hair right now? I'm in a hurry.
--Would you please hurry up? I've to leave in 5 minutes.
-- Can you get me some coffee please?
--Look, maybe you should try sitting down?
我说, 您能坐下吗？
一般来说，当表示比较客气、比较委婉的口气时，我们可以用
will you please...? 或would you please....?
如果是比较熟悉的朋友之间，可以简单地用“how about ..."来表示。
请看例句：
--Could you add Manni's name to the team list, please?
--Would you mind if I smoke here?
--How about playing tennis this evening? I'd take everything you need.
片中还再次出现了“I suppose so."
When Manni is waiting for Alex about the final dicision,
what Lucia is doing now?
当Manni在焦急地等待着Alex的接见时，Lucia也在酒店里焦急地等着Manni。
Lucia: do you have any message for me?
Emma: No, sorry, are you okay?
Lucia问：有我的留言吗？对话中的Message就是指留言，或口信，
我们在互联网上发MSN或移动短信，其实这些都属于留言服务
Right, when you're calling a friend,
someone else answers your phone call,
you can just say "Can I leave a message for him ?"
如果你打电话找人未找到，就可以对接话方说：
Can I leave a message for him? 能给我带个口信给他吗？
Manni还在焦急地等待着Alex的决定。
这一次带给他的是好消息还是坏消息？
他真的会让Manni离开球队吗？
在Alex看来，比赛就是为了获胜, Manni不应该加入感情色彩。
Alex didn't understand why Manni passed the ball to Peter
when he had an open goal.
He just thought Manni was doing Peter a favor.
open goal指面对守门员把守的球门。
Alex不理解Manni在面对守门员时不选择射门得分
却将球传给了Peter, 他在帮Peter的忙吗？
Was he doing him a favor?
do sb a favor/do a favor for sb 帮某人忙
favor表示“恩惠、善意的行为"，如果我们想请别人帮忙，
就可以说，May I ask you a favor? 或Do me a favor please.
You could see that Peter was suffering out there
and you tried to help. Wrong thing to do.
这里suffer是指在球场处于不利的位置，
不是它的本意“承受痛苦"。
I need to know that my players are playing the game.
Not messing about helping their mates.
Football is about winning, not about looking good.
足球比赛就是为了获胜，而不是看起来还不错。
句子中mess about指“浪费时间、胡闹、开玩笑"。
He spent most of his time simply messing about.
他把大部分时间无所事事地浪费掉了。
In the last dialogue we don't know what Alex will decide,
likely he was trying to help Manni.
But what's Sophie's attitude towards Manni?
从刚才的对话中我们还看不出Alex的决定。在他们谈话的同时，
Sophie和Manni的队友们在做什么呢？接下来我们继续看片子。
Peter always had a problem with the training
- he was always holding something back.
He never gave himself one hundred percent.
Peter的训练总有问题－他总是不够专心，
从来不是百分之百地投入。
hold back表示犹豫、退缩、有所保留。
这里指Peter在训练中不专心、不投入。可以用absent-minded来替代。
hold back 犹豫、退缩、有所保留
absent-minded 心不在焉
The police held back the crowd. 警察拦住人群。
这一句中hold back指“阻挡、阻止“
She could not hold back her tears.她忍不住掉下眼泪。
“hold back"在这一句中表示“抑制、控制".
If you leave here before the end of the month,
we'll hold back your salary.
如果你在月底之离开,我们会扣下你的薪水。
在这一句中，“hold back"表示扣住、保留。
Sophie: why did he do that? It was so stupid.
Joe: He just didn't think.
Sophie: You're right. He didn't. He made himself look ridiculous.
看来Sophie和Joe也不赞同Manni在场上的表现，
尽管从场上表现看，Manni是个不错的队友。
但他的行动让人难以理解。
Alex以前也遇到过类似的现象,球员可能会为这种问题而困扰。
I've seen it in players before. It's a sort of obsession.
Obsession: 困扰
尽管Manni说他喜欢足球这项运动，
但Alex认为他的期望还有一定的差距。
比赛目的就是为了取胜。
You haven't given me the commitment I expect.
We don't play for fun, we play to win.
Commitment: 承诺、许诺、义务
Up to now, we don't know if Manni will leave London Rangers.
To Paul and Jim, Manni is sure to leave next,
with which they even feel happy.
Likely Emma is the only one who expects Manni to stay.
Manni是否会离开球队，人们表现出各种态度。Paul和Jim肯定不以为然，
甚至希望他早点离开。Emma, Sophie, Joe当然希望他能留下，
但这一切只能由Alex决定。
Manni终于可以留下了。而Paul和Jim仍然认为Manni一定会离开球队。
看起来Manni的去留他们并不关心，
他们还因为少了竞争对手而感到高兴。
看他们俩从训练场返回时多么高兴啊。
Paul and Joe were eager to tell Emma that Manni would leave.
But they tried to appear calm,
and be ready to give her a surprise.
Paul和Jim看到Emma后急于披露重大消息
Yeah, we've got some great gossip, only over dinner.
Pau和Jim声称有重大新闻，但新闻披露是有条件的，
要一起吃饭时才能说。这里gossip本意是小道消息.
But Emma refused Paul's invitation for dinner,
saying that she must look after Manni and Peter.
She had to make sure that Manni and Peter
wouldn't stay out late that night.
但是Paul认为，他爸爸马上就要将Manni送回家了。
而且，Peter和Manni都离开球队后，Emma不用再照顾他们，
可以安心地出去吃饭。
I think Manni will be going home, cheer up,
at least you'll be free for dinner tonight.
尽管Alex和Manni的谈话还在进行，
但周围的人都认为Manni要回家了。
看来情况对Manni越来越不利了。我们来看看Alex的决定。
But I'm going to give you a chance.
I want you to play in the reserve team game late this afternoon.
出乎所有人的预料，Alex不但没有让他离开球队，
而且将他放入预备队中，并将参加当天下午的比赛。
但这是有附加条件的，Alex声明，这只是测试，
并警告他不要耍愚蠢的小聪明。
Remember though, this is a test.
I need to see what you can do. No more stupid tricks,
you're a part of a team, okay?
No more stupid tricks是简略用法，完整的句子应当是：
Don't play stupid tricks any more.
尽管Alex向Manni谁提出了警告，
但当Alex要求助手将Manni的名字放入队员名单后，
我们可以说，Manni已可以留下了。
It's really good news. I wonder what Peter
will react after he knows Manni will stay at Rangers.
In the drama Jim said they've got some great gossip.
Now let's say something about gossip.
在西方国家，关于gossip有很多有趣的现象，它的本意是闲聊，
与另一个词chat（聊天）相近，
但gossip经常被引申为流言蜚语、道听途说，小道消息等。
我们来看例句：
I won't be interested in any gossip about my friend.
我对有关我朋友的流言蜚语不感兴趣。
gossip column, 是指报刊的漫谈专栏，
gossip columnist指漫谈专栏作家。
gossipy是指爱传小道消息、打听他人私事的人。
He was curious, meddlesome, and gossipy.
他这个人爱东问西问，好管他人闲事，喜欢散布小道消息。
Please remember the word "gossip", and try not
let your friends think you're gosspy.
Right, mind your mouth, don't be a gossiper.
本讲的内容现在已全部讲完。经过这样漫长的时间，
Manni终于可以留下了。
See you next time.
