Super Party 超級碗派對
Todd: Hey Katie. I'm having a party, Super Bowl party at my house on Sunday in a couple of weeks. Would you like to come over?
託德：嗨，凱蒂。幾周以後的一個週日我要在家裏辦超級碗派對。你想不想來玩?
Katie: Okay. But I have absolutely no idea what a Super Bowl is.
凱蒂：好啊。可是我完全不知道什麼是超級碗。
Todd: Well, you know, the Super Bowl is a big sporting event and we have it once a year. But it's okay if you don't know anything about American football because actually, the Super Bowl is kind of like our unofficial holiday.
託德：嗯，超級碗是一年一度的體育盛事。你不知道美式橄欖球也沒關係，超級碗比賽那天就像我們的非正式假期一樣。
Katie: Okay.
凱蒂：好。
Todd: Yeah. So what happens is, is everybody comes over to somebody's house, and you have a big party and you watch the game but nobody really watches the game. There's lots of other stuff going on so it's should be good.
託德：嗯。在那天，大家會聚到一個朋友的家裏，開派對，觀看比賽，不過實際上沒有人在看比賽。因爲有很多其他的事情可以做，很好玩。
Katie: Do you have like Super Bowl food that you eat?
凱蒂：有那種超級碗食物嗎?
Todd: Exactly. Exactly. So it's kind of like a big feast. So we'll have, you know, like hamburgers and stuff we'll barbecue. And we'll have lots of like chips and dip and stuff like that. So you don't have to bring any food but it's potluck. So if you do want to bring something, yeah, I would recommend it.
託德：當然有了。就像盛大的宴會一樣。我們會準備漢堡包和燒烤。還有很多薯片和沾醬之類的小吃。你不用帶食物，不過這是百樂餐。所以，如果你想帶吃的過來，我會建議你帶一些。
Katie: Do you have to be like a supporter of one of the teams in the final?
凱蒂：那一定要是其中一支決賽隊伍的支持者嗎?
Todd: No. And actually, the game is not for a couple of weeks so we don't know who the two final teams are going to be.
託德：不用。實際上，比賽在幾周以後纔會進行，所以現在我們也不知道哪兩個球隊會進入決賽。
Katie: All right.
凱蒂：好。
Todd: They still have to decide, but actually, there's a bunch of things that have nothing to do with football on the Super Bowl that you'll probably like. The first is, they have the halftime show. You may have heard about the Super Bowl halftime show.
託德：他們還要進行角逐，其實超級碗比賽還有很多與橄欖球無關的活動，你可能會喜歡的。首先是中場表演。你可能聽說過超級碗中場秀。
Katie: Okay.
凱蒂：好。
Todd: You like music, right?
託德：你喜歡音樂，對吧?
Katie: I love music.
凱蒂：我熱愛音樂。
Todd: Right. So they always have a really big musical act. And actually this year, I don't remember who it is. I'll have to check but it's usually somebody like Bruno Mars or U2 or somebody like that.
託德：好。當天會有大型的音樂表演。我不記得今年的嘉賓是誰了。我會去查一下，不過基本上是像布魯諾·馬爾斯和U2樂隊這樣的歌手。
Katie: I think last year, it was Katie Perry, was it not?
凱蒂：去年的嘉賓是凱蒂·佩裏吧?
Todd: It might have been. Yeah. But it's always a really, really big person. Another thing that's really cool about the Super Bowl is the commercials. So the commercials, you know, the companies spend a lot of money on the commercials, and they're usually really good. So the commercials—the people are often more into the commercials than the game.
託德：可能是吧。通常超級碗中場秀會請大牌歌手。超級碗另一個很酷的地方就是廣告。各家公司會在廣告上砸很多錢，所以廣告效果非常好。人們對廣告的興趣甚至勝過比賽。
Katie: Okay.
凱蒂：好。
Todd: Especially if one team is kind of – if it's a lopsided win. So yeah, so the commercials are fun.
託德：尤其是當一支球隊以大比分獲勝時。廣告很有趣。
Katie: What kind of commercials do they have?
凱蒂：是哪種廣告呢?
Todd: You know, like companies like Pepsi or Coke or like really big name companies.
託德：一般是像百事可樂或是可口可樂這樣的著名公司。
Katie: So the really big ones.
凱蒂：大型公司。
Todd: Yeah. They'll spend like millions and millions of dollars. These are usually the most expensive commercials because it's one local game and one local audience. Like the World Cup is a more watched event but the commercials are regional for all the different countries, whereas the Super Bowl, the commercials are just for Americans.
託德：對。他們會在廣告上花費數百萬美元。雖然這只是本土比賽，觀衆也都是本國居民，可是這超級碗廣告卻是最貴的廣告。世界盃的觀衆更多，而廣告也是各國廣告商都有，可是超級碗只是美國公司的廣告之爭。
Katie: Yeah.
凱蒂：好。
Todd: So yeah, these are usually the most expensive commercials like around the world. So they're usually really well done.
託德：超級碗廣告是世界上最貴的廣告。當然效果也非常好。
Katie: Is it just American teams in the Super Bowl?
凱蒂：超級碗只有美國橄欖球隊參加?
Todd: Yes, it's very, you know, Americanized name, I'd say. But, you know, like I said, the game is really not that important. But there is one way that you can make money.
託德：對，這是美國化的比賽。我剛纔說過，比賽並不是那麼重要。不過有一種可以掙錢的方法。
Katie: Okay. I'm interested.
凱蒂：好。我很感興趣。
Todd: So what happens is, we have like a pool and you can draw numbers. And like you don't have to know anything about football but you can have like, you know, draw numbers for the first person to score a touchdown, or the first player to get a penalty or things like that. And you just fill out the chart and then if your player gets that, then you can get money. So you have to contribute. You have to pay like 10 bucks to play. But then it's in the pool and then you could win money at different points during the game.
託德：我們用共用資金，你要寫數字。你不用瞭解橄欖球，你可以寫上你認爲會第一個達陣得分的球員的號碼，或者你認爲會第一個獲得點球的球員號碼。你只需要填個表，如果你猜對了，那你就可以獲得獎金。當然，你要先押錢。你要拿10美元出來押注。這筆錢會放到獎金裏，你可以在比賽期間贏取獎金。
Katie: Have you ever won at the Super Bowl before?
凱蒂：之前的超級碗比賽你們贏過錢嗎?
Todd: Yeah. It's kind of like how it works out where everybody wins a little money and everybody loses a little money. So, you know, gambling technically is illegal but...
託德：贏過。基本上所有人都會贏點兒錢，也會輸點兒錢。嚴格來說，賭錢是違法行爲，不過……
Katie: Of course.
凱蒂：當然了。
Todd: Yeah. But it's like just one of those things that everybody does.
託德：嗯。不過大家都這麼做。
Katie: It's not for big money.
凱蒂：不是爲了贏大錢。
Todd: No.
託德：對。
Katie: Just a little bit of money.
凱蒂：只是一小筆錢。
Todd: Just a little bit of money.
託德：只是一點錢。
Katie: So it's okay.
凱蒂：那沒什麼問題。
Todd: Just to have fun. Yeah. So, and then, once I find out what teams are in the finals then I'll tell you about the colors. And it's usually best that you choose one team that you're going to support.
託德：只是爲了好玩。我知道進入決賽的球隊以後，我會告訴你球隊顏色。你最好選擇一個你要支持的隊。
Katie: Okay.
凱蒂：好的。
Todd: So I'll fill you in about who the teams are later and all that.
託德：稍後我會告訴你進入決賽的球隊。
Katie: Right.
凱蒂：好。
Todd: So are you willing to come?
託德：你想來玩嗎?
Katie: Yeah. Sounds like fun.
凱蒂：好啊。聽上去很有趣。
Todd: Okay, cool.
託德：好。
Katie: I'm in.
凱蒂：我參加。
Todd: All right. So it's going to be at my house at 3:00. So if you can show up around 2:00-ish.
託德：好的。派對在我家舉行，時間是下午3點。你可以2點左右過來。
Katie: Should I bring some food?
凱蒂：我需要帶吃的嗎?
Todd: You can. Like you can bring some type of maybe salad or like a bean dish or something like that if you like. But we'll – like the main food, we'll provide. We'll have pizza. We'll have burgers. Oh, and it's BYOB.
託德：你可以帶。你可以帶點兒沙拉或是豆類食物。我們會提供主食。我們有批薩和漢堡包。哦，你要自備酒水。
Katie: Okay.
凱蒂：好的。
Todd: So if you want to drink, you have to bring your own alcohol.
託德：如果你想喝酒，你要自己帶酒來。
Katie: All right.
凱蒂：好的。
Todd: But we will have some beers and stuff. Do you drink?
託德：不過我們有啤酒。你喝酒嗎?
Katie: Sometimes.
凱蒂：偶爾喝。
Todd: Okay. Cool.
託德：好。
Katie: Like tenths of the time.
凱蒂：我很少喝。
Todd: All right. So see you there. Glad you can come.
託德：好。到時候見。你能來我很高興。
Katie: No worries.
凱蒂：不客氣。
Disc Golf 飛盤高爾夫
Sarah: So John, do you like to play golf?
薩拉：約翰，你喜歡打高爾夫嗎?
John: Well, no. I don't play golf very much, but I play disc golf.
約翰：不喜歡。我不太常打高爾夫，不過我玩飛盤高爾夫。
Sarah: Disc golf? What's that?
薩拉：飛盤高爾夫?那是什麼?
John: Well, some people call it Frisbee golf. Basically, there are courses at parks. It's similar to golf but the courses are much smaller. You use Frisbees or a flying disc and you have to throw it. So it's different from golf. You're not aiming for a small hole but actually, you need to throw the Frisbee into a basket.
約翰：有些人稱之爲飛碟高爾夫。通常公園裏有球場。球場和高爾夫球的類似，不過要小很多。將飛碟或飛盤扔出去。這和高爾夫球不同。目標不是將球打進小洞裏，而是將飛碟擲入籃子裏。
Sarah: Oh, that sounds fun. Is it very easy?
薩拉：哦，聽上去很有意思。簡單嗎?
John: Well, it can be easy or it can be very difficult. It depends on the course. Many different parks have different disc golf courses. And you can be an easy beginner or you can be an expert. It all depends on how much you want to get involved.
約翰：嗯，可以很簡單也可以很難。這要取決於場地。許多公園都有飛盤高爾夫球場。你可以是初學者，也可能成爲高手。這要取決於你的參與度。
Sarah: I see.
薩拉：我明白了。
John: My friends and I, we are beginners, so we just like to have fun. So we just do the easy courses and have a good time. I think it's relaxing.
約翰：我朋友和我，我們都是初學者，我們只想玩得開心。所以我們選擇的是簡單的場地，我們玩得很開心。那是項令人放鬆的運動。
Sarah: So you only need one Frisbee?
薩拉：只需要一個飛碟嗎?
John: Well actually, it's better to have two or three. You can play with one but in fact, when you learn more about disc golf, there are different sizes and weights of the discs.
約翰：最好是準備兩三個飛碟。你可以用一個飛盤玩，不過在你瞭解飛盤高爾夫這項運動以後，你會知道飛盤有不同的大小和重量。
Sarah: Why would you want a different size disc?
薩拉：爲什麼大小會不同?
John: Well, it's similar to the clubs in golf. When you throw you first throw, you want it to go very far, so you should use a heavier disc. But when you're near the basket, you should make a short throw, so you want a lightweight disc.
約翰：這和高爾夫球杆類似。在第一次擲的時候，你希望飛盤飛得更遠，所以你要用重一些的飛盤。而當你非常接近籃子時，你要短距離投擲，所以要用輕一些的飛盤。
Sarah: I see. That's interesting.
薩拉：我明白了。這很有意思。
John: Yeah. So as I said, when you want to become an expert, you have to spend more money to get better equipment. It's like any sport, I guess. In fact, they have disc golf competitions now. So you can even participate in a tournament and win some prize money.
約翰：嗯。如我所說，如果你想成爲高手，那你就要多花錢買更好的裝備。我想這和其他運動是一樣的。實際上，現在有很多飛盤高爾夫比賽。你甚至可以參加錦標賽，贏取獎金。
Sarah: Did you ever compete?
薩拉：你參加過比賽嗎?
John: Oh no. I'm just a beginner. I don't think I want to be too serious about it.
約翰：沒有。我只是初學者。我並不想太認真。
Sarah: So golf has 18 holes. How about disc golf? Does it have 18 holes, too?
薩拉：高爾夫球有18洞。那飛盤高爾夫呢?也是18洞嗎?
John: Well, not usually. Golf courses are very large, but disc golf courses are usually found in parks. So they usually have only six holes. But you can play 18 holes by doing all 6 three times each.
約翰：並不是。高爾夫球場非常大，不過飛盤高爾夫球場一般都設在公園裏。所以只有6洞。不過你可以玩18洞，玩三次6洞就是18洞了。
Sarah: I see. How do you keep score?
薩拉：我知道了。怎麼記分?
John: Score keeping is like real golf. So the winner should have the lowest score. Every time you throw a Frisbee or a flying disc, you have to mark one point. So if you can do a hole in one, that means you can hit the basket on your first try, then you'll only have one point. That's best.
約翰：和高爾夫比賽一樣。得分最少的是勝者。擲次飛碟或飛盤記一分。所以，如果你一球進洞，也就是一次就擲進籃子裏，那你就只記一分。這是最棒的。
Sarah: Uh-hmm.
薩拉：嗯。
John: But I'm not that good at it. So usually, I have three or four points for each course.
約翰：不過我的水平還沒有那麼好。通常我要擲三四次才能擲進籃子裏。
Sarah: I see. You said disc golf is at the park. Do you have little kids playing in the middle of the course?
薩拉：我知道了。你說過飛盤高爾夫球場在公園裏。那球場中間有小孩玩嗎?
John: Sometimes, the kids – of course, they can play wherever they want. And the courses do go though the park where kids play. So we have to be very careful, and we have to use good sportsmanship to wait for the course to be clear.
約翰：有時會有，孩子們通常想在哪裏玩就在哪裏玩。球場貫穿公園，會有孩子在那裏玩。所以我們一定要非常小心，而且還要有良好的體育精神，等待球場歸於平靜。
Sarah: It sounds like a lot of fun.
薩拉：聽起來很好玩。
John: It is fun. Maybe you can join us next time.
約翰：是很好玩。下次你可以和我們一起玩。
Sarah: That sounds great. Thank you.
薩拉：聽起來不錯。謝謝。
Beauty Pageants 選美比賽

Gilda: Yes, they are. They are a huge thing in Venezuela. Everybody loves beauty pageants. It's like the Super Bowl in America, for Venezuelans it's beauty pageants.
吉爾達：對，沒錯。選美比賽在委內瑞拉是重大活動。所有人都喜愛選美比賽。對委內瑞拉來說，選美比賽就像美國的超級碗。
Aimee: Really?
艾米：真的嗎?
Gilda: The Miss Venezuela, that's how they call it.
吉爾達：選美冠軍被稱爲委內瑞拉小姐。
Aimee: Oh my goodness.
艾米：哦，我的天哪。
Gilda: Yeah.
吉爾達：對。
Aimee: Okay. So from what age are children...?
艾米：好。那從幾歲開始?
Gilda: It's like almost 90 percent of Venezuelan girls dream of being once in the, in this beauty pageants because once they got in, they get all some sort of surgery and, you know, they make them really, really look beautiful. And then after that they get jobs like models or actress. You know, Venezuela is also into soap operas.
吉爾達：委內瑞拉幾乎90%的女孩都夢想參加選美比賽，因爲參加比賽以後，她們可以接受整容手術，可以變得非常漂亮。然後，她們就能從事模特或演員之類的工作。你知道，委內瑞拉的肥皂劇也很流行。
Aimee: Right.
艾米：好。
Gilda: So most of them want to be an actress one day.
吉爾達：所以，大部分女孩都想當演員。
Aimee: That's so specific though, isn't it? A model or an actress. Ninety percent of the population—of the girls?
艾米：那太明確了，不是嗎?模特或演員。90%的女孩?
Gilda: Yeah. Well, it's because of the economic situation. So it's easy money, in a way.
吉爾達：對。這是因爲委內瑞拉的經濟形勢。從某種程度上來說，這些行業比較好賺錢。
Aimee: Right.
艾米：好。
Gilda: Yeah.
吉爾達：對。
Aimee: How about boys? Are boys interested in it?
艾米：那男孩呢?男孩對選美感興趣嗎?
Gilda: No, not really. There are more into probably sports; baseball, becoming a police officer or...
吉爾達：不感興趣。男孩一般更喜歡棒球等運動，或是想成爲警察。
Aimee: Okay.
艾米：好。
Gilda: Yeah.
吉爾達：嗯。
Aimee: So what happens if, you know, if 90 percent of the population, as you said, are so keen on beauty pageants, and then they want to become a model or an actress, what happens to those who cannot make it?
艾米：那如果像你剛纔說的那樣，有90%的女孩熱衷於選美比賽，她們想成爲模特或演員，那如果她們沒有做到會怎樣?
Gilda: Well, some of them will have probably a sort of frustrated life, some of them. Yeah. Some of them might change their mind once they, you know, grow up. Think of something different. But like, I work in a high school and most of the first year junior high school students, girls, they wear a lot of make-up. And they want to become one day, Miss Venezuela. Yeah.
吉爾達：有些女孩的人生可能會有些坎坷。有些女孩在長大以後可能會改變想法。考慮其他事情。我在高中工作，大部分初一女生都會化妝。她們希望有一天能成爲委內瑞拉小姐。
Aimee: Wow. Wow. Do you find – or what's your opinion about that? What do you think?
艾米：哇哦。你怎麼看這種現象?你有什麼想法?
Gilda: Well, I'm not supporting that. But since the country has so many crowns, there are many different pageants like Miss International, Universe, Miss World, Miss South America. There are so many. And Miss Venezuela has won a lot of crowns. So every time they get a new crown, it's a huge thing for the country. So they got the attention of everybody. So as a teacher, I don't support it. But it's kind of like something nice, you know, for the country. You're getting something.
吉爾達：我並不支持這種做法。但是，因爲委內瑞拉贏得了很多選美冠軍，比如國際小姐、環球小姐、世界小姐、南美小姐等比賽。選美比賽非常多。委內瑞拉小姐贏得了很多國際選美比賽的桂冠。每次她們贏得冠軍，對委內瑞拉來說都是大事。她們會獲得所有人的關注。作爲老師，我並不支持這種做法。不過，這對國家來說是好事。因爲國家獲得了榮譽。
Aimee: So it sounds like it's a big source of national pride, would you say so?
艾米：聽起來這是國家榮譽的主要來源，對吧?
Gilda: Exactly. Yes, yes. That's the way it is. Yeah.
吉爾達：沒錯。對。的確是這樣。
Aimee: Interesting.
艾米：有意思。
Gilda: So many people stay at home when they're broadcasting the Miss Venezuela.
吉爾達：在委內瑞拉小姐比賽期間，很多人都不去上班，在家收看比賽。
Aimee: Hmm.
艾米：嗯。
Gilda: Yeah.
吉爾達：對。
