Hi everyone, welcome back to VT English.

大家好，歡迎回到 VT English

The FIFA World Cup is going on right now, and the final is just around the corner.

世界盃足球賽正在進行，決賽也快到了

So in today's video, I'm going to teach you some phrases and vocabulary about soccer.

所以在今天的影片中，我要來教大家一些和足球相關的句子和單字

Before we get into our phrases, let's take a minute to talk about the word "soccer."

在開始介紹句子之前，先來談 "soccer" 這個字

Americans usually use the word "soccer," while people in the UK

美國人通常用 "soccer" 這個字，而英國人

usually use the word "football."

則是使用 “football"

In America, football is a completely different sport, and people in the UK

在美國，football 是另一個完全不同的運動，而英國人

usually call that sport "American football."

稱那個為 "American football"

Alright, let's start by learning a few questions and answers that you can use when talking about soccer.

好的，我們先來學習一些談論足球時可以使用的問題和回答

Which team are you supporting, or, rooting for?

你支持哪隊？

If you're talking to someone about soccer, you'll probably want to know which team they're supporting.

如果你想和別人談論足球，你應該也會想知道他們支持哪隊

You can ask them:

你可以問他們：

"Which team are you supporting?" or "Which team are you rooting for?"

「你支持哪隊？」

To answer this question, you can simply tell them the name of the team that you're supporting.

要回答這個問題，你可以直接說那一隊的名字

For example: "I'm rooting for Spain."

例如：「我支持西班牙隊。」

What's the score?

目前比數是什麼？

If you want an update about a soccer game — maybe you've missed the beginning of the game —

如果你想知道賽局最新狀況——或許你錯過了一開始的賽局——

you might want to ask: "What's the score?"

你應該會想問：「目前比數是什麼？」

If someone else asks you this, you can answer with something like:

如果別人這樣問，你可以回答：

"It's 2-1 for Russia."

「 2 比 1，俄國隊領先。」

This means that Russia has two points, and the other team has only one.

這代表俄國隊得兩分，另一隊只有一分

We say "for Russia" to show that Russia is the team with more points.

我們說 "for Russia"，代表俄國隊是得分比較高的那隊

Who won the game?

哪隊贏了？

Another important question is: "Who won the game?"

另一個重要的問題是：「哪隊贏了？」

If one team won, you can say something like:

如果其中一隊贏了，你可以說：

"Iceland won," or,

「冰島隊贏了」或是

"Iceland won 3-1."

「冰島隊贏了，總分 3 比 1」

But if the two teams ended with the same score, you can say:

但若最後兩隊得分相同，可以說：

"It was a tie," or,

「平手」或是

"They tied 2-2."

「平手，總分 2 比 2」
