哈囉！歡迎來到《六分鐘英文》

do you like going to live football matches?

Well, you don't really see as much as you

but then on TV you don't really feel the atmosphere.

因為在電視上你無法感受到當下的氣氛

Well, it's good you mentioned the songs and

It seems that for some football clubs, the atmosphere

in the stadiums is becoming a bit 'quiet'.

球場上的氣氛逐漸變得「安靜」

Now, before we look at this topic in more

As we are talking about football, in which decade was

當我們說到美式足球，哪一個年代

the first ever international football match played?

是第一次舉辦國際美式足球比賽？

I could be wrong but I think it was before

the turn of the century, so I'll say the 1890s.

Well, we'll see if you're right or not later in the show.

嗯 ... 我們將會在節目後揭曉答案

Now, songs and chants are part of the experience

But where do they come from? What are they about?

但是這些歌曲來自哪裡？是關於什麼？

這是來自 BBC 運動頻道的喬伊威爾遜

Some songs can be witty, honed specifically

有些歌可以很詼諧，專為了慶祝

Others rely more on a hypnotic repetition of syllables.

其他歌可能具有催眠性的重複音節

This isn't one team as there are quite a few professional

這不是一個團隊，因為在英國有不少

in their names, in fact there are over a dozen.

Perhaps the most well-known though would be

I think fans of Welling United might argue

with you about that! Anyway, what did Wilson say

不同意你的想法！不管如何，威爾遜說了什麼

Witty 的意思是以聰明的方式表達有趣

Something that is honed is carefully crafted,

skilfully created and developed over a period of time.

When it comes to witty football songs Wilson

describes them as being honed to be about a particular

威爾遜說歌曲是專為慶祝某個特定的球員

或是足球隊歷史上的某個時刻而精心打造

But these aren't the only kinds of songs.

Something that is hypnotic repeats again and again

What's interesting is that in football songs words

can have more syllables than you would expect.

喔！沒錯，我們舉 England 為例子

At least in a football stadium it becomes

Eng – ger – land, Eng – ger – land …

Alright! Thank you! Let's listen to Mr Wilson again.

好吧！謝謝你！我們再聽一次威爾遜先生的介紹

Now, apparently, in many stadiums, the crowds

Some managers have complained that the fans

are too quiet and that this has a negative effect

So what are some of the reasons for this?

在一次來到 BBC 運動頻道的喬伊威爾遜

The decline in singing may be explained by

changing demographics in football attendance.

Older supporters, more expensive tickets.

All-seater arenas may discourage the instinct

So, what reasons did he give for the decline

He talked about the change in demographics.

Demographics refers to a section of the population

It can refer to age groups or wealth, for example.

舉例來說它可以是年齡組成或是財富組成

What Wilson says is that the members that
