　　Jamie: Nothing planned. What about you?

　　Jamie: 没什么计划，你呢?

　　Boyle: Well...I’ve got two tickets for today’s India v/s Australia match. What do you say?

　　Boyle: 嗯......我买了两张今天的印度对澳大利亚的比赛，怎么样?

　　Boyle: Oh man! What’s wrong with you girls? Why do you always enjoy watching cricketers instead of cricket itself?

　　Boyle: 哦，兄弟!你怎么了?为什么你对板球运动员这么感兴趣，而不是板球运动本身呢?

　　Jamie: Say what? Yes, I admire a guy who can play well. What’s wrong with that?

　　Jamie: 说什么?是，我崇拜打球打的好的人。那怎么了?

　　Discussing The Current Match.

　　讨论进行中的赛事

　　Boyle: So what do you think? Who’s gonna win the match?

　　Boyle: 你怎么看?谁会赢?

　　Nathan: England seems to have good chances.

　　Nathan: 英格兰似乎机会更大。

　　Boyle: I agree. But I guess Australia can still make it, if bowlers start pushing it.

　　Boyle: 我同意。我猜澳大利亚也有机会成功，如果投球手加把劲的话。

　　Nathan: Yeah. Australia right now is totally dependent on the bowlers. If they are able to take 2 more wickets in the next 3 overs, they may have a good chance to win.

　　Nathan: 是啊。澳大利亚现在完全要靠投球手了，如果他们可以在接下来的3个有效投球中打两个以上击球手出局，他们就有机会赢。

　　Boyle: Let’s see what happens. I’m not taking any sides for now.

　　Boyle: 看看会发生什么吧。我保持中立。
