 新闻背景:最近关于小贝转会的消息众说纷纭,在事情没有最后定论之前,我们提供的是两位和小贝休戚相干的人对BBC专访的发言......

I would never sell Beckham says Eriksson

埃里克森对小贝转会表态

  LONDON (AFP) - England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson would never sell David Beckham if he was manager of Manchester United the Swede told the BBC.

  伦敦(法新社)-英格兰主教练埃里克森对BBC专访表示如果他是曼联教练,他就不会出售贝克汉姆。

 ★本文的if...would...是一个将来时态虚拟语气,表示"要是我...我就..."

  Eriksson said similarly if he was manager of another club he would pay anything to try and prise the 28-year-old playmaker away from United.

  埃里克森还说,如果他是另一个俱乐部的经理人,他会不惜代价留住并奖赏这位28岁的队员。

  ★pay anything to意思是at all costs( =at any cost),也就是不惜任何代价, 无论如何。如:I will try to fulfill my plan at all costs.

  ★playmaker(篮球、 曲棍球等 ) 场上组织进攻的队员

  However Eriksson added that wherever Beckham played would make no difference to his role for England.

  但埃里克斯表示,不管贝克汉姆为哪个俱乐部效力,他对英格兰的影响将不会有很大差异。

  ★make no difference to的意思是没有影响,没有区别的意思,as near as makes no difference也是没有多少差别的意思,make a difference却是有影响,很重要的意思,一定要加以区别。

  ★Sb'S role 是指某人的角色,任务。play the role of(sb.)意思是(在剧中)扮演(某人)角色。还有很多和role相关的习惯用语,如:play an important role in,在......中起重要作用;play the leading role,起主要作用, 起带头作用。

  Kenyon said "When Eric Cantona left it was thought to be a disaster but we went on and won the title.

  曼联首席执行官凯尼恩说:"坎托纳离开时,当时人们认为是一场灾难,但我们继续前进,还赢得了冠军。

  ★title在本文中的意思是冠军,这要结合新闻背景来加以理解,因为在坎托纳离开曼联俱乐部以后,他们确实再次得冠。

  "Success at Manchester United is about a good footballing team not individuals.

  "The thing is that in the end players do retire and have to be replaced. Even David Beckham will retire some day."

  曼联的成功是一个好的球队的成功而不能归功于任何个人。球员总有退休或被替换的时候,即使是贝克汉姆,有朝一日也会退休。
