马特：我最大的爱好是足球，美国人说的足球是soccer。

马特：我是防守球员，通常我踢右边卫。

Simon: What's your favorite thing about defending?

西蒙：在防守中你最喜欢的是什么？

Matt: My favorite things is definitely "hacking" down the stiker coming through. If he's too fast, don't worry about the ball, get the man.

马特：我最喜欢的绝对是拦截冲过来的进攻球员。如果他的速度太快，不用担心球，搞定带球队员就可以。

Simon: OK. OK. Did you hack anybody today?

西蒙：好。你今天有拦截对手吗？

Matt: Um, I didn't hack anyone. A few people bounced off of me, but no! They're all a bunch of girls.

Simon: Did you score?

西蒙：你进球了吗？

Matt: I did score.

马特：进了。

Simon: Can you describe it?

西蒙：你能讲讲吗？

Matt: Well, I was walking up from the back, there was a nice little corner. I thought, oh, I'll just wait at the edge of area. See what happens. Ball comes in, defender heads it out, bounces in front, chested it down, a nice volley into the far top corner, just over the keeper's flailing hand. Beautiful goal.

马特：好，我从后面上来，获得了一个不错的角球，我想我只要等在边线附近就行了。猜猜发生了什么。足球过来了，后卫用头传球，球弹到前面，我用胸部停了一下之后，起脚将球抽射进远上角，那个射门将将越过守门员的扑救。漂亮的进球。

Simon: Alright! Alright! Do you do those kind of goals often?

西蒙：好的。你经常用这种方式进球吗？

Matt: I do those goals about once in a lifetime.

马特：那是我一生都难得进的球。

Simon: So it was a pretty special day for you?

西蒙：所以今天对你来说是非常特别的一天吗？

Matt: Very special day for me, yeah, definitely! I'm looking forward to the next one in about five years.

马特：对我来说绝对非常特别。我期待在五年内还能再进一个这样的球。

Simon: OK, thank you for that!
