《胜利之门》第十五集
央视国际 2003年07月21日 14:44
大家好，欢迎继续收看《胜利之门》, 我是崔松。
Hello everyone, I`m Zoe, welcome to Goal, Unit4, part 3.
In the last part, Alex decided to keep Manni in the reserve team,
Emma, Sophie and Joe were very excited. But Lucia seemed not so happy about it,
she only wanted to go shopping.
我觉得Alex的决定很英明，因为Manni有着出色的技术，他现在缺的只是经验和对抗性。
只要给他时间，相信他会为球队带来巨大的成功。
Right, Alex made a wise decision. But how Manni will perform in the reserve game?
Has he got ready for it? Let's have a look.
Alex很满意Sophie对Manni的训练，他说：
You've done a good job. I'm impressed. The lad's really come on.
你的工作很出色，给我留下了深刻印象。这个小伙子确实进步了。
这里come on是指“开始进步，跟上来了”， 表示一种变化开始了。
请大家注意，这个用法与我们在口语中常说的祈使或命令句Come on！是不一样的。
我们在Unit2, Part 3 已经给大家介绍过Come on!作为命令句的用法，大家还记得吗？
"Come on lads, a bit more effort!"
Alex used this sentence to encourage the players to play harder. Similarly we can say,
"Come on, guys, you can do it."
加油，小伙子们，再使点劲儿！小伙子们，加油呀，你们能行！
Zoe 说的两句话是鼓励人的时候用的。
除了表示鼓励以外，come on 还可以用来催促别人，
比如：Come on, we will be late. 快点，我们要迟到了。
也可以用来劝慰别人，比如：
Come on, cheer up! 嘿，高兴点，振作起来。
也可以用来表示请求：
Oh, come on, help me.
好，Come on的用法就复习到这里。OK，当Alex说他准备把Manni放到主力阵容中，
进一步提高球队在联赛中的成绩时，他是这样说的：
But don't think that your job's done. We've still got to
make this team the best in the league. Hopefully Manni can help us.
但是，不要以为你的工作已经完成了。我们必须把球队变成联赛的最佳球队。
希望Manni能有所帮助。Sophie不太同意。我们看看 Sophie是怎么想的：
Well, obviously it's your decision, but don't push him too far, too soon.
The best thing is to give him time, let him develop.
不要把他逼得太紧太快。最好的方法就是给他时间，让他自己发展。
let him develop, 让他有时间和空间自己成长。言外之意好像是说不应该拔苗助长。
Would Alex accept Sophie's advice? What he would say?
I haven't got time. I need Manni to perform now.
Rangers have got to move up the league. We've got to push Manni. Got it?
I need Manni to perform now. Rangers have got to move up the league.
We've got to push Manni. Got it?
我现在就需要Manni有所表现。流浪者队在联赛中还得继续前进。
所以我们必须给他施加压力，懂了吗？
Here "move up" means to go forward. Here both Sophie and Alex used the word "push".
To push someone means to make someone work very hard.
Push 愿意是用手推，在这里它的引申意义是促使，甚至强迫某人做某事。
这个词我们在Unit03 part 03里讲过这里再复习一下。
He pushes his students very hard.
他强迫学生努力学习。
He's been pushing himself too much.
他逼自己逼得很厉害。
Just now, Alex used a very shot but very powerful sentence to finish his words.
He said, "Got it?" "Got it?" means "Have you understood what I said?"
But "Got it" sounds very cool, and full of strength.
"Got it?" “懂了吗？”确实显得很酷， 而且显得很有力，很有权威。
你也不妨用一用，感觉一定不错。但是，要注意，在非常正式的场合，或对长辈说话时，可不能用它！
Hey, Cui Song, I've been thinking. Why is Alex so much in a hurry?
London Rangers is already very good. He can take it easy and give Manni time to develop。
要回答Zoe的问题，我们先要了解一点背景知识。足球联赛的制度很有意思，根据欧洲足联的规定，
英超、意甲、德甲等联赛前两名的球队可以参加欧洲冠军杯赛，此外，
各国排名靠前的球队还可以参加联盟杯赛。
冠军杯赛和联盟杯赛不仅可以为本队赢得荣誉，更可以为获得巨额经济回报。
而排名垫底的球队下一赛季就可能降级。所以各足球俱乐部都尽可能在联赛中提高本球队的成绩。
Right, that's why many football clubs would spend a lot of money buying new players.
Because good players mean success and money. OK, let's watch this conversation once again.
Alex 教练从决定将Manni留下的那一刻起，他就期望着Manni能为球队带来巨大的成就。
But it also means great pressure on Manni. That's what Sophie was worrying about.
马尼对下午预备队比赛的压力很大，露西亚不理解他，一心想着去逛街，她去成了吗？
和谁一起去的呢？我们一起来看看。
从Lucia的口气可以看出，她根本看不起预备队，
She said：This reserve game. It's nothing, huh?
It's nothing means it's not important at all.
It's nothing, huh? 在这里是非常轻蔑的评价。
相当于我们汉语中的“它无足轻重，它什么也不是。”
这也是非常好用的一句话。我们可以用这句话来评价遇到的困难。
Yes. For example, you will help a friend to move to a new house,
and your friend is worried about her piles of books. "My god,
it will take days to get the books out of the shelves and package them!"
You can say, "Don't worry. It's nothing. I can finish the job in three hours. "
好，现在我们来分析一下这段剧情的微妙之处。她要逛街、购物，而Manni要参加预备队比赛，
没时间陪她。Paul是主力队的成员，用不着参加预备队的比赛，他此时刚好抓住了机会。
As a London native and top player of Rangers,
Paul had much more advantages than that of Manni.
He said：I know London. Where would you like to go? I know all the best shops...
and I even know Xavier Soyeux.
Paul tried his best to get closer to Lucia.
Paul不仅可以陪Lucia逛街购物，他甚至还可以把著名的时装设计师Xavier Soyeux介绍给Lucia.
Things look not so good for Manni now. Emma also feels hurt.
Emma喜欢服装设计，可想而知她多么希望有机会见到著名的时装设计师，
Paul是她的男朋友，却没有提起带她去见Xavier Soyeux，
现在Paul主动提出带Lucia去见这位名人。
在一旁看到PAUL讨好露西亚的态度，Emma心里非常难过。
In addition, Paul also invited Lucia to go to the game and see how Manni got along
in the reserve game. Here "go along" means to go together.
I'll go along with you, if you don't mind.
如果你不介意的话，我和你一起去。
Emma很郁闷，来到了Manni的房间，
Maybe she wants to confide to Manni？
从现在开始这两对情侣的关系开始有了一些微妙的变化。
Emma把Manni的女朋友露西亚的最新动向告诉了他，
但Manni认为Lucia那样做只不过故意要激怒他罢了。
He said：She is just trying to annoy me.
She doesn't understand how important this reserve game is for me.
annoy是经常用到的词，表示“激怒”，我们来看例句：
She is annoyed that he has not answered her letter.
他没有给她回信使她很生气。
The noise you made with that machine really annoyed your neighbor.
你弄那台机器发出的噪音把你的邻居烦死了。
Emma didn`t say any bad words of Lucia，but console Manni，
she just says that Lucia has no idea how the system works。
Emma说Lucia 根本不懂足球俱乐部的运作规律
But Emma knows about it，right？Cause she is responsible for
looking after all the foot-ballers。
She knows that the Reserves Match is very important to Manni。
在英超各足球俱乐部里，一个试训的新人，能够进入预备队训练，
继而被纳入主力队或成为替补球员，是非常不容易的。
一个俱乐部里通常会有几十名球员，互相之间竞争非常激烈。
So Manni cherish this opportunity very much。
He really want to perform well in the coming match。
球员从默默无闻到获得成功是要付出艰辛努力的，
而任何职业都是如此。在这一点上Emma和Manni有相同的感受。
Emma want to be a designer，so she tell Manni her feeling：
It's the same in any job. I`ve got to start from the bottom。
Start from the bottom means to start from the very beginning,
from the lowest level. We often say this when describing one's career.
Can Manni go from the bottom to the top？
bottom最底层，Start from the bottom , 从最底层开始。
当我们开始我们的事业时，往往也是要start from the bottom.
最初往往不受重视，甚至被人看不起，这就是bottom的含义。
只有坚持不懈的刻苦努力才能将我们一步一步带向成功的顶峰。
在事业开始的阶段是最需要支持和鼓励的阶段。
Emma thought that Lucia should be helping Manni rather than trying to ask him away.
她应当帮助你，而不是要你离开球队。
句子中rather than 表示“与其。。。不如。。。”
He is a writer rather than a teacher.
与其说他是教师不如说他是作家。
Rather than Johe do it, I'd rather prefer to do the job myself.
与其让John做这件事， 我宁可自己动手。
Rather than后面的动词一般用动词原形，当Rather than分开时，
我们要注意保持前后动词在时态上的一致。
为了下午的比赛，马尼确实很紧张，在接下来的片中我们将看到Manni在赛前紧张的心情，
Joe是马尼的好朋友，他一直在安慰马尼。Let`s have a look！
In the London Rangers changing room, Manni was always worried something will go wrong.
Something will go wrong means something bad will happen.
This is a very commonly used expression. but Joe thinks everything will be fine.
是的。第一次参加比赛，Manni显然没有找到感觉，缺乏信心。
当我们感觉有的不对劲儿，好像有的不妙时，就可以用这个表达方式。
I'm worried something will go wrong.
Then how did Joe comfort Manni? Yes, he said, "You'll be fine."
This is again a very commonly used expression.
People say it to comfort someone who is worried or lack of confidence.
For example, when your friend is taking an operation in a minute,
and she is trembling with fear, you must say, "You'll be fine.
The surgeon is very good. I will pray for you."
Zoe, I am pretty worried myself. I'm seeing the dentist tomorrow.
Don't worry. Close your eyes and trust the dentist.
Pretend to be a robot, then you will be fine.
在比赛开始前，Jim 也来到了赛场。他和Alex的对话特别耐人寻味，
Jim 告诉Alex,他和Paul只是来看看预备队员的表现。而Alex却不这样认为：
Alex讽刺说，Jim的到来让他们非常荣幸。Oh really, we are honored.
这里honour是动词，表示“使增光”、“给。。。荣誉”。我们来看例句：
I was exceedingly honored to be so honored.受到这样的待遇真是不胜荣幸。
He was honored with the degree of Ph.D.他荣获哲学博士学位。
Jim说，他来看预备队员的比赛并没有什么特别的原因。
而Alex明白, Jim在担心新球员的表现可能影响他在球队中的主力位置。
所以Alex旁敲侧击说：希望与担心新球员的表现无关。
I suppose it has nothing to do with worrying about how good the new lads may be.
尽管Alex的话很含蓄，但Jim仍然听出了弦外之音。于是他及时转换了话题，开始询问对方球队的情况：
Are the other team any good then?
They're playing five internationals, all coming back from from injury.
这两句话的意思是：“对方球队有什么优秀球员吗？他们有五名外籍球员，都是刚刚伤愈复出。”
Which is also a rule of British football club.
When a player got injured in a game, who would stop formal games for recovery.
Before he returns to the first team, he would stay in the reserve team,
and often attend the games of reserves.
看起来这是很科学的机制：球员受伤后放在预备队养伤，
在返回主力阵容前先参加一些非正式的比赛，强度不大，
教练可以通过这些非正式比赛来检验该球员的状态。
马尼今天参加的就是这样两个预备队之间的比赛，他担任前锋。
But Jim is not confident of Manni being a forward. Will he be okay up front against them?
句子中up front是指“冲在最前面”，意指担任前锋。而Alex回答说，
He's playing against a tough defence, that's for sure.
Manni肯定将面对一名强壮的后卫。当Manni正在紧张地准备比赛时，
Lucia和Paul却在悠闲地逛街、购物。
Right, to her, go shopping is more important than Manni's game.
Now Manni is finally playing on the pitch.
It's a hard game for him. While Manni is fighting for his chance,
Paul and Lucia are having fun shopping in London.
下面为大家总结一下今天学习的重点内容。
首先我们复习了come on ，push sb.,的用法，
annoy sb., go along,
start from the bottom, rather than,
to be honored 这些句型，还有下面这些句子：
Got it?
I'm worried that something will go wrong.
It's nothing. You will be fine.
另外我们还请Zoe为我们介绍了伦敦著名的购物区。
You may wonder: How Manni will do in the game?
Ranger's reserve team will win or loses?
How will the relationship go among the heroes and heroines of our story?
Manni在预备队的比赛中表现如何？球队会取得胜利吗？请继续收看下一集节目。
