英文原版对话1000个:1185 Football Culture

 　　Daniel: Hey, Vale, how are you?

 

　　Valeria: Fine, and you, Daniel, how are you?

 

　　Daniel: Very well thanks. I have a question for you.

 

　　Valeria: OK, tell me.

 

　　Daniel: Since¹ you're from Argentina, I'd have to ask you about soccer.

 

　　Valeria: Yes, sure. What do you want to know about soccer?

 

　　Daniel: Argentina is really famous² for soccer.

 

　　Valeria: Right.

 

　　Daniel: Because I've seen³ it from the news⁴ but I don't have the feeling⁵ or I don't really know how Argentinian people live football.

 

　　Valeria: OK, let me tell you that for us, football is something like natural⁶.

 

　　Daniel: What do you mean by that?

 

　　Valeria: It's like when especially⁷ if you are a boy, when you come back from school after having lunch what we do is like going⁸ with your friends to play soccer on the street.

 

　　Daniel: On the street?

 

　　Valeria: Yes. Like this, meaning⁹ that everybody¹⁰ has the experience¹¹ of playing soccer.

 

　　Daniel: Yeah, I have it myself¹² too. I used¹³ to do that when I was¹⁴ a kid¹⁵.

 

　　Valeria: So meaning that in Chile it's kind of the same?

 

　　Daniel: Yeah, I think you, since you can run and kick¹⁶ the ball, I mean everyone practice¹⁷ football or soccer.

 

　　Valeria: How about the teams?

 

　　Daniel: What about them?

 

　　Valeria: How you choose a team in your country?

 

　　Daniel: That's, I think that's an issue¹⁸. You have to choose just one team basically¹⁹.

 

　　Valeria: What do you mean just one team?

 

　　Daniel: You can't support²⁰ several²¹ teams, it's just one.

 

　　Valeria: I see and it should be the same through all your life²² or can we, or you can change?

 

　　Daniel: OK, you can change but it's not really, it's not allowed²³ actually²⁴ by your friends or your family.

 

　　Valeria: Sorry, does anybody²⁵ change team?

 

　　Daniel: I've seen some people who have changed but they're not really like into soccer. If you're really into soccer you would²⁶ never change it and not because of your group or not because of society²⁷, because if you're really into football that's if you choose a team, that's the team you support forever²⁸.

 

　　Valeria: Because in Argentina it is said²⁹ there are two things that you cannot change, your mum and your team.

 

　　Daniel: OK, that's good.

 

　　Valeria: No matter how bad things are for your team, you have to support, you will support the same team all your life.

 

　　Daniel: Yeah, we don't have that saying³⁰ in Chile but I think it's pretty much the same. You shouldn't change your team.
