Elementary 15: Soccer Is Violent


Listen Later

Go ahead, make jokes about how soccer players fake injuries. Now, why don’t you try hitting your head with another guy’s cleats. We aren’t praising the violence; we’re just saying that it can get rough out there. After today’s lesson you can talk about soccer in Portuguese too.

Dialogue

A: Olha lá!
B: Que que houve rapaz?
A: Os dois bateram a cabeça quando iam para a bola.
B: Realmente o futebol é muito violento. Não sei por que vocês assistem esses jogos, viu?
A: Bom, perigoso pode ser, mas é muito lindo também. E realmente é impressionante ver a capacidade deles.
B: Bom, eu só vejo gente machucada, lesionada, e vocês assistindo como se fosse diversão.
A: Ah, não fale assim, você sabe que quem joga se identifica com a ação no campo.
B: Bom, ainda acho um absurdo elogiar tanta violência, viu?
A: Enfim, está vendo? Os dois estão bem, não foi nada grave.


A: Look at that!
B: What happened, man?
A: The two hit their heads when they were going for the ball.
B: Soccer really is very violent. I don’t know why you watch these games.
A: Well, it can be dangerous, but it’s beautiful too. And it’s really impressive to see their ability.
B: Well, I just see injured, hurt people, and you watching as if it were entertainment.
A: Oh, don’t talk like that, you know that those who play identify with the action on the field.
B: Well, I still think it’s absurd to praise such violence, you know?
A: Look, you see? The two are just fine, it wasn’t anything serious.
