西蒙:你好,你叫什么名字?
Nathan: My name is Nathan Curtis Gildard. Well, my name is Nathan but people call me Nate, so.
內(nèi)森:我叫內(nèi)森·柯蒂斯·吉爾達德。我的名字是內(nèi)森,不過大家都叫我內(nèi)特。
Simon: OK. What do you do in your free time?
西蒙:好。你空閑時間都做什么?
Nathan: I do a lot of different things. I like to travel around, I like to go to places I've never been. I like to play guitar in a band, which I'm not in right now. I like to play soccer. I play soccer a lot, and I play futsal too.
內(nèi)森:我會做很多不同的事情。我喜歡四處旅游,我喜歡去以前從未去過的地方。我喜歡在樂隊里演奏吉他,目前我并沒有樂隊。我也喜歡踢足球。我非常喜歡踢足球,我也喜歡玩五人制足球。
Simon: Futsal, what's that?
西蒙:五人制足球,那是什么?
Nathan: Futsal is a 5 a side soccer game, so it's played on a small court about the size of a basketball court, and the ball is smaller than a soccer ball, it's kind of heavy, and you have five people so there are 4 players and one keeper, goalie.
內(nèi)森:在五人制足球中,每支球隊有5名隊員上場比賽,所以要在一個小型的場地進行,大小和籃球場一樣,五人制足球的用球要比足球小。不過比賽很激烈,因為是5個人參加比賽,所以有4名球員和1名守門員。
Simon: Oh, interesting. Is it similar to soccer in other ways?
西蒙:哦,真有意思。那其他方面都和足球類似嗎?
Nathan: Well, it's similar in ways that you pass the ball but it's different in ways that for example you have a stop clock in the international futsal games, and professional games, so there's a stop clock. The way you move around is very different, you know, you have positions like midfield, forward, defense, but often a defender can find themselves playing forward which is kind of fun because defenders get a chance to score too.
內(nèi)森:嗯,傳球之類的是一樣的,但是也有不一樣的地方,比如,在國際比賽和正式比賽中會配備秒表,會使用到秒表。而且五人制足球的移動方式非常不同,你知道,五人制足球也有中場、前鋒、防守等位置,不過通常防守球員會發(fā)現(xiàn)他們其實在踢前鋒,這也是一種樂趣,因為防守球員也有進球的機會。
Simon: OK, here is the last question, which do you prefer, soccer or the big football or futsal?
西蒙:好的,我還有最后一個問題,足球和五人制足球你更喜歡哪個?
Nathan: Ah, that's a difficult question. I think at the moment I enjoy futsal a little bit more because it is a harder pace. You're running a lot faster. There's more chances to score. It's a really challenging game. It takes a lot of energy, and the five guys that you play with, there's only five people so you really depend on each other to do well so it's a real team sport. You really need each other.
內(nèi)森:啊,這是一個很難回答的問題。我現(xiàn)在更喜歡五人制足球,因為五人制足球的速度更快。你跑得速度更快。有更多的進球機會。這是一項非常有挑戰(zhàn)性的比賽,需要大量能量,而且只有五個人一起比賽,所以你們必須互相依靠,這是一個真正的團隊運動。你們真的互相需要。
Simon: Thank you.
西蒙:謝謝你。
