A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
足球
Football
Nobody is that thick-skinned that it doesn't hurt you. Still, you always know what happens in football. I have got used to criticism, I suppose, having been high profile with England and Man U.
没有人厚着脸皮不伤害你。尽管如此,你总是知道足球会发生什么。我想,我已经习惯了批评,因为我在英格兰和曼联都很高调。
For as concerning football playing, I protest unto you it may be rather called a friendly kind of fight than a play or recreation, a bloody or murmuring practice than a fellowly sport or pastime.
因为关于踢足球,我向你们抗议,与其说它是一种游戏或娱乐,不如说它是一种友好的战斗;与其说它是一种同胞间的运动或消遣,不如说它是一种血腥或喃喃自语的练习。
The only football players in my time were fellows who really loved to play football. They were not in it for the money. There wasn't much money there. They would have played football for nothing.
我那个时代唯一的足球运动员是那些真正热爱足球的人。他们这样做不是为了钱。那里没有多少钱。他们会无缘无故地踢足球。
The first few weeks football players look at you like you are speaking a foreign language. My job is to get them to trust me, trust the system. I ask them to run in a way that makes no sense to them.
刚开始的几周,足球运动员看着你就像你在说一门外语。我的工作就是让他们相信我,相信这个体系。我要求他们以一种对他们毫无意义的方式跑步。
As football gets more globalised, it's probably more important than ever to have one or two players in your team who have grown up in the same streets or been to the same schools as the hard-core fans.
随着足球越来越全球化,在你的球队中有一两个球员可能比以往任何时候都更重要,他们和铁杆球迷在同一条街道上长大,或者在同一所学校上学。
If we had a starting XI that no one could argue about it wouldn't say a lot for English football. We'd probably be on a downward spiral. It's good that people have different ideas about who should play.
如果我们有一个首发阵容,没有人会对此有异议,这对英格兰足球来说不会有什么影响。我们可能会陷入一个恶性循环。人们对谁应该上场有不同的看法,这是件好事。
The heartbeat of a football team is the quarterback position and I think everyone who has any intelligence about the game understands you must have consistency at that position to be a championship team.
球队的核心是四分卫的位置,我想每个对足球有一定了解的人都知道,要成为一支冠军球队,你必须在这个位置上保持连贯性。
The train's always full of football fans going up to see matches. Oh, they make sure I hear their points of view all right. They all want to have their say about their team, and make their opinions known.
火车上总是挤满了去看比赛的足球迷。哦,他们确保我能听到他们的观点。他们都想对自己的团队发表意见,并让大家知道他们的观点。
I think players tend to get anxious if they've not really done things properly - like eating, resting or training. If you're fully prepared you've got nothing to worry about - it's just a game of football.
我认为如果球员们没有真正把事情做好,比如吃饭、休息或训练,他们会感到焦虑。如果你做了充分的准备,你就没有什么好担心的——这只是一场足球比赛。
I was lucky to come from a difficult area. It teaches you not just about football but also life. There were lots of kids from different races and poor families. People had to struggle to get through the day.
我很幸运来自一个困难的地区。它不仅教你足球,还教你生活。有许多来自不同种族和贫困家庭的孩子。人们不得不挣扎着度过这一天。
I put certain expectations on my players and I expect them to live up to those expectations every game we play. This team enjoys playing the game of football and they are showing it with their play on the field.
我对我的球员有一定的期望,我希望他们在每场比赛中都能达到这些期望。这支球队喜欢踢足球,他们在场上的表现也很好。
If you spend a whole afternoon just eating popcorn and watching football, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. But if that's all you do, you get swept along with the tide, without any idea of where you're going.
如果你整个下午只吃爆米花和看足球,这绝对没有什么错。但如果你只做这些,你就会随波逐流,不知道自己要去哪里。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Anytime that the Arizona Cardinals play football, I scream at the top of my lungs at the television. And I have certain dances that I do.
每当亚利桑那红雀队踢足球的时候,我都会对着电视大喊大叫。我也跳一些舞。
People say you should go out at the top but I was enjoying my football so much. Robbie Fowler's exactly the same: he's not playing for money any more, he's playing for enjoyment. Why go out at the top if it's going to make you miserable? I just wanted to play as long as I could.
人们说你应该在山顶上出去,但我很喜欢我的足球。罗比福勒完全一样:他不再为钱踢球了,他踢球是为了享受。如果这会让你痛苦的话,为什么要走到顶端呢?我只是想尽可能长时间地打球。
I'm more akin to football than I think anything else because that's what I played in high school.
我比我认为的任何事情都更接近足球,因为那是我在高中踢的。
You'd like to put points on the board, but we got some completions and gave the guys a chance to catch some balls. You'd like to come away with a little more progress and run the football a little bit better than what we did.
你想在篮板上得分,但是我们完成了一些比赛,给了球员们一个接住球的机会。你希望能取得更大的进步,比我们做得更好一些。
Football is an incredible game. Sometimes it's so incredible, it's unbelievable.
足球是一项不可思议的运动。有时候真是太不可思议了。
You know, I played football, I was offensive tackle in college.
你知道,我踢足球,我在大学时是进攻型截锋。
