※ 引述《fiance (搞什麽鬼)》之铭言： : : A crowd of more than 68,000 is expected to heed her call. For the first time, : : the Saints have sold out all of their season tickets, an obvious sign that : : excitement has taken an early lead on apprehension. : 请问，taken an early lead on apprehension 是什麽意思呀?? : 前面提到他们第一次把季票全数卖出，那为什麽还要「担忧」(apprehension)咧?? excitement 目前是领先 apprehension 的。 意思说有隐忧，事实也如此。 : : No football team is capable of rebuilding neighborhoods or recruiting : : families or making small businesses viable again. But with a couple of long : : touchdowns, the Saints can turn the Superdome from a shelter back into a : : stage. : long touchdowns 是「传球达阵」的意思吗?? : 用在这段话里，是不是指经历了重重困难的意思呀?? 靠几次达阵，Saints 可以把 Superdome 从印象里的 hurricane shelter 转成比 赛的大舞台。 : : The transformation will begin Monday night with performances by U2 and Green : : Day. Former President George H. W. Bush, who was nominated at the Superdome : : in 1988, will flip the coin. News media outlets will include Al Jazeera. : : Archie Manning, patriarch of New Orleans football, will broadcast for the : : Home Shopping Network, which is selling N.F.L. merchandise with part of the : : proceeds going to Katrina relief. : flip the coin 在这儿是啥意思?? 赛前的丢铜板，决定谁先攻。 : : The Saints look a lot like a fantasy football team, with two excellent : : running backs (Bush and McAllister), a top receiver (Joe Horn), a pedigreed : : quarterback (Drew Brees), and not much else. : not much else，是说不止以上这些人吗?? 没有"其他人"？ : : The Superdome underwent a rapid $185 million makeover, leaving the suites : : relatively bare. Most are decorated with folding tables and patio chairs. : : Fans who want carpeting and couches can bring their own. : : This ranks among the least of all inconveniences in New Orleans. Squeezing : : into a cramped seat and watching the Saints play football is still a luxury. : 想请问一下，这个Superdome是以原来的球场修建，还是重新盖一座新的呀?? : 一亿八千五百万是全部的费用还是指，内部装潢设施的钱呢? : 这座球场到现在算是完工了吗?? : 看上面的描述，感觉好像是不算完工的样子（桌椅的部份）， : 然後，在座位的设计上是不是也不好，要squeezing才能坐进去?? : 最後还有提到，still a luxury，是说，票价很贵吗?? : 歹势，问一堆… 是原址修复。看 football 是很贵的，比起 basketball or baseball。 之前看不知道是 SI 还是 The Sportingnews，原 Superdome 的确不是个看球很享受 的地方。 --
