[英文下午茶] World Cup fever 世足熱!



To catch up with the recent World Cup fever, let's look at useful English conversation about it!



Vocabulary:
advance (v) 晉級
eliminate (v) 淘汰
root for (phr) 支持
semi-final (n) 半決賽





A: The World Cup is entering the final stages! Where are we at right now?
A: 世界盃要進入高潮了! 現在的進度如何?

B: Entering the semi-final I think...I haven't been following closely since Spain lost...
B: 應該是進入半決賽了吧...其實自從西班牙被淘汰後我沒什麼在發樓





A: You rooting for Spain or something? I heard they got eliminated pretty early on.
A: 你是西班牙迷啊? 我聽說他們很很很早就被淘汰了。

B: Yeah, it was quite a shocker...to think that they were the 2010 World Champion. I assumed that they would at least advance to the top 8.
B: 黑啊,大驚。他們好歹是上一屆冠軍餒,至少也要進個8強吧?

A: Yeah, who would've thought?
A: 恩...世事難料。
