Nikky: u know, it would really be disappointing if we start off the tournament great and then just kind of fizzle out(你知道，要是开场不错，但是最后却仍然失败而归，这才是真正令人失望的).【注】fizzle out终于失败

　　Brian: but I think even u don’t have a good result in the second round, it was definitely a good start for the US. (即使第二轮美国打的不好的话，对葡萄牙的那场球已经是个好的开始了)

　　Nikky: yes, it was a good start.

　　Brian: so what u think of the South Korea, do u think there is any chance for US team to win them? (你觉得韩国队怎么样，美国队有可赢么？)

　　【注】下周一，美国队将在韩国大丘对阵D小组的另一个对手韩国队，此前韩国队曾在4号以2-0击败波兰队，韩国队敢打敢拼的精神让我觉得中国队的差距不是一天两天的事情

　　Nikky: they r formidable(强大的、令人敬畏的) oppenents.

　　Brian: did u watch their play before? (你有没有看过韩国队的比赛？)

　　Nikky: yeah, they play excellent football. (他们打的非常好)

　　Brian: u watch it?

　　Nikky: yes, they played excellent football in their 2-0 defeat of Poland(波兰).

　　Brian: they got the whole nation behind them.

　　【注】4号的晚上，继中国队失利后的第5个小时，韩国釜山的体育场上，韩国队员的亚洲精神使该体育场变成了韩国人欢乐的海洋。对比刚刚结束的光州赛场，有那么多中国球迷到场，他们是那么渴望中国队能赢得一场的胜利，但……

　　Nikky: so it was time.

　　Brian: Monday would be virtually a guarantee for either US or South Korea.

　　Nikky: yes, with both tems on three points, the victory for any will be for the next round.

　　【注】不管是对韩国还是美国，星期一的比赛将使胜方进入第二轮。

　　Brian: the korean supporter are play incredible atmosphere(韩国的球迷在现场制造了不可思议的气氛)

　　Nikky: yes, like bumble bees from the tv.
