我們要組織一個足球隊

有,什么事?
A: Some of us are going to start a soccer team. Would you like to join us?
我們幾個要組織一個足球隊,你要不要參加?

我對足球一竅不通。我們國家跟這不一樣,不興踢足球。
A: That’s all right. We’ll teach you.
沒關系,我們會教你的。
B: Is it anything like American football?
足球跟橄欖球一樣嗎?
A: Not very much. It’s something like hockey, except that you use a big ball and no stick.
不大一樣。足球有點像曲棍球,不過足球是用大球,而且沒有球棍。
B: I’ll come down and watch you play some day, and see what it’s like.
回頭我去看你們踢球,看看究竟是什么樣子。
A: Good idea. I think you’ll like it if you give it a chance.
好。我相信你一試就會喜歡上它的。
