Hey, Lisa! You look absolutely wired today. Did something happen?
嘿，麗莎！妳今天看起來極度亢奮。發生什麼事了嗎？
#2
Oh, you have no idea. I stayed up until three watching the championship semifinal last night.
喔，你根本無法想像。我昨晚熬夜到三點看冠軍賽的準決賽。
#3
Wait, the one between Argentina and France? I caught the highlights this morning at the café.
等等，是阿根廷對法國的那場嗎？我今天早上在咖啡館看了精華片段。
#4
Highlights don't do it justice. The score was level at two-all deep into extra time.
精華片段無法呈現出比賽的全貌。比分直到延長賽深處仍維持在二比二平手。
#5
That must have been nerve-wracking. I can barely handle watching penalty shootouts without pacing around.
那當時一定很令人緊張。我光是看點球大戰就緊張到坐立難安，非得走來走去不可。
#6
Exactly. The atmosphere in the stadium looked electric, even through a screen. Every single game in this tournament has delivered beyond expectations.
一點也沒錯。體育場內的氣氛顯得極其熱烈，即使是透過螢幕看也是如此。這次錦標賽的每一場比賽都超出了預期。
#7
I've been meaning to ask — did you ever play on a team yourself, or have you always been a spectator?
我一直想問——你以前親自參加過球隊嗎？還是你一直都只是個旁觀者？
#8
I played midfield in college, actually. Nothing elite, but it gave me a visceral appreciation for the sport.
事實上，我大學時踢的是中場。雖然稱不上頂尖，但那段經歷讓我對這項運動有了發自內心的體會。
#9
That explains why your blog posts about sports tourism are so perceptive. You write like an insider.
這解釋了為什麼你關於運動觀光的部落格文章如此具有洞察力。你寫得就像個圈內人一樣。
#10
Well, once you've felt the camaraderie of a locker room, you never quite see a game the same way.
嗯，一旦你感受過更衣室裡那種同袍情誼，你看待比賽的方式就再也不太一樣了。
#11
Speaking of which, are you planning to cover the championship final for your blog?
說到這個，妳打算為妳的部落格報導冠軍決賽嗎？
#12
Absolutely. I've already secured a press pass. The final is in Buenos Aires, and the city is buzzing.
當然。我已經拿到記者證了。決賽在布宜諾斯艾利斯舉行，整座城市現在熱鬧非凡。
#13
I'm so envious. Imagine being in the stands when the winning team lifts the trophy.
我好羨慕。想像一下當獲勝隊伍舉起獎盃時，人就在看台上的情景。
#14
Why don't you come along? The café can survive a week without you, surely.
你為什麼不一起來呢？咖啡店少了一週沒你肯定也能撐下去的。
#15
You know what, that's actually tempting. I haven't taken a proper holiday in ages.
妳知道嗎，那確實挺吸引人的。我已經好幾年沒好好休過假了。
#16
Then it's settled. We'll soak up the atmosphere, eat our weight in empanadas, and witness history.
那就這麼定了。我們會盡情沉浸在氛圍中，大啖恩潘納達（阿根廷餡餅），並見證歷史。
#17
If the score ends up anything like last night's game, I might need a defibrillator in my seat.
如果比分最後跟昨晚的比賽有任何相似之處，我可能需要在座位上準備一個除顫器。
#18
That's the whole point, isn't it? The unpredictability is what makes sport transcendent.
這就是重點所在，不是嗎？不可預測性正是運動之所以能超越凡俗的原因。
