体育美语001讲

Y: Hi, 大家好，我是杨晨。

P: And I'm Patrick.

Y: 看体育比赛到现场和看电视不一样，现场可以为运动员加油打气。给球队加油，英语里基本的说法是：

P: Let's go!

Y: Let's go 在这里不是我们走吧，而是加油。Patrick, 你先教大家怎么喊加油。

P: Let's Go is followed by the name of the team you are cheering for. You then follow it with another "Let's go." Like "Let's go, Lakers. Let's go."

Y: 如果为美国队加油呢?

P: Let's go, Team U.S.A, Let's go!

Y: 我们俩一齐喊怎么样？

Y/P: Let's go, Team U.S.A, Let's go! Let's go, Team USA, Let's go!

P: Wow. We are good!

Y: 要是给单个运动员加油和给一个团队加油不一样。

P: To cheer on an individual athlete in a race or a competition, many U.S. fans will yell: "Come on!" followed by the name of the athlete they are cheering for. They will end with "You can do it!"

Y: 你要是喜欢看贝克汗姆踢球，那就喊：

P: Even though I'm not a David Beckham fan, I would say "Come on! Beckham, You can do it!" But, perhaps the most famous cheer is one used at middle and high schools all over America. It goes like this "Two, Four, Six, Eight - who do we appreciate?" followed by the name of the team you are rooting for.

Y: 这个有意思：Two, Four, Six, Eight - Who do we appreciate? 火箭队！Don't you want to try?

P: Not this time, Yang Chen.

Y: Come on, Patrick! You can do it!
