北京時間2016年6月11日03:00起，你身邊是不是就有那么一群人，他們囤積食糧，晝伏夜出，他們時而歡呼，時而嘆息……他們此時都有一個名字：球迷football fans~

因為，歐洲杯來了！

歐洲杯由歐洲足球協會聯盟（Union of European Football Associations，UEFA）管理，2016年法國歐洲杯（2016 UEFA European Championship，UEFA Euro 2016）正在火熱進行。

不管你是不是球迷，你都可以Get下面這些球賽相關的有趣表達，最起碼不至于在遇到球迷的時候根本無法愉快地交（tu）談（cao）嘛~

1 Lifting the silverware 奪冠

>>>> silverware ['s?lv?we?] 銀器，銀質餐具

lift the silverware這個搭配中，注意silverware指的是球賽的冠軍獎杯，可不是什么銀獎哦。

This is literally what happens when your team wins a major trophy. Everyone goes insane, and the winning team gets to “lift the silverware”.
你的球隊贏得大獎的時候，就是這么嗨~每個人激動瘋了，贏的隊伍就能 lift the silverware！

2? Heads for an early bath“早點洗頭去”：紅牌罰下

This means you got ejected from the game. Might as well go clean up since there's nothing better to do, right?
這意味著你被出局了。不妨去洗洗好了……反正又沒別的事兒好做了，對吧？（嗯……中文版表達或許是“洗洗睡吧”？）

3 Hit the woodwork 擊中球門

>>>> woodwork 木制品，在俚語中也可指“（足球的）球門框”

This refers to a shot that ends up hitting the goalposts. Hit the woodwork指的是進球擊中了門框。
（進不進球就不一定啦~所以hit the woodwork之時，正是關鍵時刻所在。）

4 Get stuck in 奮力拼搶

If you've ever played defense, you know that you have to go in hard and take no prisoners if you want to do your job well.
如果你踢過防守，你肯定知道，如果想要干得漂亮，你不得不拼盡全力，用盡一切手段。

5 Howler 守門員的低級錯誤

As admirable as every goalkeeper is for risking life and limb to protect the goal, sometimes they really screw things up without any good excuse.
雖然每個守門員都是拼上性命守衛球門，值得尊重，但有的時候他們真的是把事情搞砸了。

>>>> howler ['haul?] 低級錯誤

>>>> risk life and limb 拼上性命

6 The Talisman “護身符”球星

You'll hear this a lot when a team has a star player, their "talisman", who they pretty much rely on to win games. Without the "talisman", winning becomes a lot more difficult.
你經常聽到有人這樣叫一個球隊的明星球員：“護身符”，就是他們賴以贏得比賽的人。沒了“護身符”，打贏比賽就難多了。

>>>> talisman ['t?lizm?n] 護身符，法寶，此處指球隊的當家球星。

7 Hair Dryer Treatment “電吹風式”咆哮

David Beckham："The fear of getting the hairdryer was the reason why we all played so well. He was a manager you wanted to do well for."
貝克漢姆說：因為害怕受到電吹風式的待遇，我們才都踢得這么好。他就是一位你想要為之做好的教練。

這種說法的出處據說是世界著名的足球教練Alex Ferguson （亞歷克斯·弗格森爵士，即球迷口中的“費爵爺”）。他常對表現不理想的球員狂暴怒吼，被吼的球員們說，感覺就像被電吹風吹過一樣。

8 "Squeaky bum time" “磨屁股時間”

This refers to that nerve-wracking period of time when a team is up by one, but there are still a few minutes left for the losing side to make a comeback. When fans get this nervous, they tend to move around uneasily in their seats, creating a squeaky sound.
這指的是當某隊領先一球，但還有幾分鐘，對方還有機會逆襲的緊張時刻。當球迷們緊張的時候，他們可能會在座椅上不安地移動，發出這種吱呀作響的聲音。

>>>> squeaky ['skwi?k?] 吱呀作響的，發出刺耳吱嘎聲的 bum是英式英語中指“屁股”的非正式說法。 squeaky bum time直譯過來是“磨屁股時間”，這也是費爵爺開創的說法，現在專指在看球時讓人高度緊張的時刻。
