对,在棒球中, major league就是“大联盟”,而minor league是“小联盟”。 让我们来听听,在basketball court--篮球场上,比赛进行地如何吧!
Ryan: Alright Alice, let's watch the game. Which team are we rooting for?
Alice: We are rooting for the home team because my nephew is playing for them.
Ryan: Oh, cool! Does he really like to play basketball with the other kids?
Alice: Oh yeah, these team sports really build their confidence. This is a big game, because they are playing their rivals.
原来,Alice的侄子就在球场上! 他是home team - “主场球队”的一员,Professor, 和“主场”相对的是“客场”,这要怎么说呢?
Professor: The opposite of the home team is the visiting team. Most people at the game root for the home team.
没错!比赛时,主场队总是人气更旺! 大部分观众都root for it--给主场球队加油助威。那么,root for除了表示在赛场上支持某只球队外,还有别的用法么?
Professor: Sure! For example, I am really rooting for the new law to pass, because it would lower my taxes.
哦,root for表示“支持”,所以我们可以说,root for the new law - 支持这条新的法律。Professor, Alice还提到,这两只队伍是rivals - 这是“劲敌,对头”的意思么?
