Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the fight that will determine the heavyweight champion of the continent.
女士們,先生們,歡迎大家前來觀戰(zhàn),今天的拳擊賽將角逐產(chǎn)生美洲重量級(jí)拳擊冠軍。
In the end corner is a contender from outside the continental United States. You can tell he is a rude and contemptible man by the content of his hostile comments. However, he claims that he is actually a gentle person with a contemporary attitude. He asserts that the media quotes his words out of context to make him look bad. Judging by his size, I don’t think anyone would dare to contradict him. Physically, he has the contour of a huge body builder. Tonight, he can earn as much as $500,000 under his fight contract. However, these earnings are contingent upon whether he wins the match. Some say that he won’t be contented unless he wins by a knockout.
紅色角落里的冠軍爭(zhēng)奪者來自美國大陸以外的國家。從他充滿仇意的言語內(nèi)容中,大家不難看出他是個(gè)粗野可鄙的人。但他聲稱自己實(shí)際是一位思想現(xiàn)代的紳士。他堅(jiān)稱媒體不顧上下文就引用他的話,實(shí)屬故意丑化他的斷章取義之舉。憑他的體型,我想沒人敢反駁他。身體上,他擁有一名高大健美者的外形。他只需稍微緊緊胳膊上的肌肉就能嚇壞大多數(shù)人。根據(jù)他的拳擊合同,今晚他的酬金將高達(dá)50萬美元。但這比收入還要取決于他能否贏得這場(chǎng)比賽。有人說他不把對(duì)手擊倒在地就不會(huì)滿足。
In the blue corner is the current champion of the contiguous 48 states. He really wants to win the continental title tonight. He says he wants to maintain continuity between the two titles because they are both part of the continuum of world-class titles. The current champion is usually a very friendly person. However, tonight, he is a contemptuous fighter. He says he’s tired of the challenger’s contradictory statements. You can bet that his aggression will be focused on the challenger tonight.
藍(lán)色角落里的是今年全美48大接壤州的冠軍。他確實(shí)想贏得今晚的美洲冠軍稱號(hào)。她說他想保持兩大冠軍稱號(hào)間的連續(xù)性,因?yàn)樗麄兌际且幌盗械氖澜缂?jí)冠軍稱號(hào)的一部分。今年的冠軍通常十分友好。但今晚,他是一名傲慢的戰(zhàn)士。他說他對(duì)手那些自相矛盾的詞語令他感到膩煩。你可以打賭今晚他將集中精力挑戰(zhàn)對(duì)手。
For several months, both men have been in vicious contention for the continental title. Tonight is a continuation of their brutal dispute. So, let the battle begin!
幾個(gè)月來,二人都在激烈地爭(zhēng)奪這一美洲冠軍稱號(hào),今晚的比賽只是他們殘酷競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的延續(xù)。所以,開戰(zhàn)吧。
