2020年高考（全国I卷）英语听力 独白
Hello,I'm Jeff Anderson from Coventry, England.
大家好，我是杰夫·安德森，来自英国考文垂。
And in today's program, I'd like to share with you a special kind of English culture—the football.
在今天的节目中，我想和大家分享一种特殊的英国文化——足球。
A lot of people in England are crazy about football.
很多英国人对足球很狂热。
During the football season, whenever there is a big match, all the flags for local football teams,
在足球赛季，只要有大型比赛，所有当地足球队的旗帜，
such as Liverpool and Newcastle are hung outside every window or even spread proudly on T-shirts or scarves.
如利物浦和纽卡斯尔，都会悬挂在每扇窗户外，甚至自豪地飘扬在T恤或者围巾上
There is an atmosphere of excitement in the air.
空气中弥漫着兴奋的气氛。
Groups of young men crowd into dark packed pubs, staring at television screens.
一群又一群的年轻人挤进昏暗拥挤的酒吧，盯着电视屏幕。
Of course, they are covered head to toe in the colors of their team.
当然，他们从头到脚都是他们支持的球队的颜色。
They shout and scream in sadness when their team loses a goal or with joy when there is a moment of success.
当他们的球队输了一个球时，他们会悲伤地大喊大叫，当他们的球队赢球的那一刻，他们会高兴地欢呼尖叫。
You do not have to be a fan of football to get caught up in the excitement, as far as victories are concerned.
就胜利而言，你不必成为一个足球迷，也能沉浸在兴奋之中。
England had its big moment in 1966 in Wimbledon Stadium.
1966年，英格兰在温布尔登体育场迎来了辉煌时刻。
The World Cup victory is in the hearts and minds of all football fans.
世界杯的胜利在所有足球迷的心中。
Now,whenever England is playing a big match, red and white covers every inch of every pub, a symbol of hope–the English flag.
现在，每当英格兰有大型比赛，红色和白色会覆盖每个酒吧的每个角落，这是一种希望的象征——英国的国旗。
While football has never been something I'm particularly interested in.
然而足球从来都不是我特别感兴趣的东西。
For years, I've had to pretend excitement and pick a team to support.
多年来，我不得不假装很兴奋并选一支球队来支持。
You cannot say you don't like or do not follow football in England,
在英格兰你不能说你不喜欢或不支持足球，
as often this will lead to a long dialogue in which someone will begin telling you why you should support their team.
这通常会导致很长一段对话，有人会开始告诉你为什么你应该支持他们的球队。
