Y: Hi Patrick, 你在看什么?
P: I’m watching the hockey game. Bruins vs. Islanders. It’s pretty intense.
Y: Oh yeah, it’s pretty intense,是不是因为你run out of snacks?
P: No Yang Chen. It looks like one of the players on the Bruins is about to score a hat trick.
Y: A hat trick?
P: A hat trick is when one player scores three shots in one game.
Y: Oh yeah, 我想起来了,你上次讲过: 一个队员进了三个球,就是a hat trick,然后大家都往球场扔帽子。
P: Right! So if it happens, people might throw their hats.
Y: Patrick, 你也应该score a hat trick.
P: Why is that?
Y:因为你的发型太奇怪了。You need a hat.
P: Can we just watch the game?
Y: OK. 那今天谁要赢了?
P: It looks like the Bruins are going to win this one. Their goalie is a brick wall tonight.
Y: 什么是goalie?
P: The goalie is the person who stays at the goal and guards against the puck.
Y: 噢, goalie就是守门员。 你刚才说他像一堵砖墙挡在那儿,a brick wall,对方没法进球,对不对?
P: That’s exactly right. Not a shot has gone in. He’s unstoppable.
Y: Hmm, 我觉得你也会是一个很好的goalie .
P: Why?
Y 因为你头很大,and you have a big ego.
P: Oh man, Boston has the puck and it looks like they’re setting up for the hat trick. Oh and he did it! Oh well.
Y: Boston scored a hat trick, 那你应该高兴啊。
P: I’m an Islanders fan.
