Chinese Conversation – Lesson 18

Monday, March 17th, 2008

足球比赛分为两个半场,每半场各45分钟,上下半场中间有15分钟的休息时间。比赛有一位主裁判和两名助理裁判,他们的职责是监督是否有球员作弊或者是犯规。每支球队有11名场上队员和3名替补队员。球队包括守门员、防守队员、中场队员和前锋。比赛的目的就是要将足球踢入对方的球门。

A game of soccer is split into two halves of 45 minutes each, with a 15-minute break at halftime. A referee and two assistants make sure that nobody cheats or breaks the rules. Each soccer team has eleven players and three substitute, or reserve players. The team consists of a goalkeeper, defenders, midfield players, and forwards (or strikers). The object of the game is to get the ball into your opponent’s goal.
