NIKKY: hi, brian

　　BRIAN: hi, nikky, nice day, isn’t it?

　　NIKKY: yeah, but it is a little stuffy(闷热的)here in New York.

　　BRIAN: oh, the US team has come back? (美国队回去了么？)

　　NIKKY: soccer? Yeah, they came back, heroes(足球么？对，他们回来了，英雄们).

　　BRIAN: US is a hard team

　　NIKKY: so is German.

　　BRIAN: and Korea

　　NIKKY: but I think that they could do a better job, the World Cup referees' committee(国际足联裁委会),I mean.

　　BRIAN: everybody is talking about the referees now. (每个人都在谈论裁判的事情)

　　NIKKY: don’t know who should be appointed to be officials for the semi-finals. (不知道谁会在半决赛中执法)

　　BRIAN: there are two semi-finals.

　　NIKKY: yes, I mean Korea VS German.

　　BRIAN: did u view the games against co-hosts South Korea? (有没有看过韩国队的几场比赛？)

　　NIKKY: yes, the beat the Italians in the second round with a golden goal(金球) and the Spanish team in the quarter-final after a penalty(点球)shootout.

　　【注】意大利是今年世界杯中最冤的队之一，西班牙为最冤的队之二。

　　BRIAN: the referee committee is now attacked throughout the world. (裁判委员会受到来自世界各国的攻击)

　　NIKKY: and the linesmen. (边裁)

　　【注】平心而论，这届世界杯主裁的工作基本上还是可以说的过去的，乱就乱在边裁，包括维埃里骂的那个从村儿里来的边裁。

　　BRIAN: a lot of people have difficulties understanding the referee, especially the linesmen, they were those, who send the Italy back home.

　　NIKKY: huge errors. (巨大的失误)

　　BRIAN: there have been one or two major mistakes.

　　【注】16强出来以后，世界杯的淘汰赛中，任何一个小的误判就可能完全改变整个比赛的结果，意大利、西班牙都被人为的低级的错误而淘汰了，而对手都是同一个队：韩国队。
