体育美语: 中场表演 - Halftime Show

Y: 今天我们和Patrick看美式足球。

P: Ah, it's halftime. Well that was a GREAT first half! The score is tied at 21-21. It's a VERY close game。.

Hey! Yang Chen, Where are you going?

Y:I know 现在已经到了中场halftime。 So I'm going to the snack bar to get some hot dogs. 你要不要也来点儿热狗？

P: Wait! If you go now, you'll miss the halftime show!

Y: There is a halftime show?

P: Yes. The athletes can rest and adjust their game plan - and we get to enjoy a 300-member marching band!

When two colleges play each other in football, they send their marching bands. The purpose of the marching bands is to provide musical entertainment and boost team spirit for the crowd.

Y: Team spirit?团队精神？

P: One college marching band has 500 people in it!

Y No way!

P: Oh yes. It's called the marching 500.

Wait!. Here comes the band. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! 

(Band noises, crowd cheering)

(After the performance)

P:That was a great performance. Aren't you glad that you stayed to watch it?

Y. I guess so.

P I guess so? That's it? Where's your team spirit?
