    在下面短短的一段对话中使用了非常多的运动术语,如果对这些短语不了解的话很可能完全不懂这段对话在说什么。我们会逐段详细说明出现的运动术语

    Closing a Deal达成协议

    (In a typical office somewhere in New York)

    (在纽约某处一家典型的办公室)

    Bob: Well, is Trevisos going to play ball or are we going to strike out on this deal?

    Pete: The latest locker talk is that our game plan is a real contender for the contract.

    鲍勃:这个生意Trevisos是打算跟我们合作了还是要把我们三振出局了呢?

    皮特:据最新的小道消息说,我们的方案对这个合同很有竞争力。

    play ball:baseball-play a game, idiom-do business with

    play ball在棒球中表示打一场比赛的意思,短语的意思就是和……做生意

    strike out:baseball-go out, idiom-fail

    strike out在棒球中表示三振出局,也就意味着失败了

    locker talk:general sports-talk among the players, idiom-gossip, rumors

    locker是锁东西的柜子,locker room指的就是更衣间,在通常运动中,locker talk表示运动员之间的谈话,更衣室内的谈话,于是也就有了流言、传言、小道消息的意思。gossip这个词相信看过《绯闻女孩》的朋友都很熟悉。

    game plan:American football-plan which plays to make, idiom-plan of action

    game plan在美式足球也就是橄榄球术语中表示球队比赛的策略,短语的意思是行动计划、行动方案。

    Bob: Yeah, the other team has two strikes against it after they fumbled last week.

    Pete: They had a great chance of scoring but I think Trevisos thought they weren't up to scratch on some of the details.

    鲍勃:对,另外一组在上周犯了大错之后处境已经很不利了。

    皮特:他们本来有个大好的机会,但是我觉得Trevisos会认为他们在一些细节问题上不太合格。

    two strikes against it:baseball-one step from going out or loosing, idiom-close to not succeeding

    棒球中表示两击不中,换句话说,再有一次失败就要三振出局了,所以短语的意思就是离失败很近了,处境不利、形势不好的意思。

    fumble:American football-lose possession of the ball, idiom-make a serious mistake

    在橄榄球中表示漏球了,这可是很严重的错误。

    score:any sport-to make a point, idiom-to succeed

    不管什么运动,score都是得分的意思,得分也就是成功了。

    not up to scratch:horseracing-not capable of winning, idiom-not having the right qualities

    在赛马中表示没有赢的可能,也就是说不合格的意思。
