※ [本文轉錄自 Catalan 信箱] 作者: Catalan (帶塞郎) 看板: FCBarcelona 標題: [442]Burn Baby, Burn 時間: Sat Sep 13 13:14:21 2003 Burn Baby, Burn. by Andy Mitten [副標] For legions of fans the Spanish Civil War Spanish Civil War 西班牙內戰 never really ended. Every season it flares 1936-1939年 up again when Barcelona play Real madrid. and as each side tries to outdo the other with star players and footballing excellence, the fixture has become the world's most keenly savourd club match. 這一篇翻成中文太長了 而且文中很多有趣的文意翻成中文會失去味道 所以我就用key的 而同時在右邊隨時加上些注釋供大家參考一下 -- When Real Madrid beat Barcelona to sign David Beckham, barca fans could only shrug their shoulders. Such is the depressed state of their club that few in Catalunya mustered any outraged. It hasn't always been this way. But then there has never been such a gulf in success between Spain's two biggest clubs and historically ferocious rivals. The Barca- Madrid rivalry has always run far, far deeper than football. The clubs represent two languages, two peoples and, in the view of manu Catalans, two countries. And each of those two countries invests enormous national pride and vast sums in their flagship clubs. which is why the game the call [El Derbi] remains, whatever the relative positions of the two sides, probably the most emotionally charged yet glamorous domestic club fixture in the world. NOVEMBER 23 2002, THE NOU CAMP, Barcelona: <--這一段很猛喔!! Despite what the TV commentary cliches say, the stadium is no cauldron-for many games the atmosphere is forgettable. It's 98,000 seats spread over three vast tiers may make it European football's largest citadel, but it's size can work against it. The stadium is hard to fill, and even Barca's recent average gate of 65,000 means that there are typically 33,000 empty seats. Aside from the ultras who stand behind both goals, Barca's match-going fans are staunchly middle-class. A typical season ticket costs less than half its equivalent at Old Trafford or Anfield, but watching games on TV with your mates in a bar is moe popular. Lovals joke that the stadium's loudest noise cames at half time when Burberry-clad ladies unwrap the tin foil off cured ham sandwiches. Either that or when news comes through that Madrid are losing. Which isn't often these days. The Nou Camp does match the hype a couple of times a season, though. When the Catalan National side (Jordi Cruyff meets Pep Guardiola) plays one of Jordi是Johan Cruyff it's non-FIFA recognised matches, the stadium 的兒子的名字，在本篇 is a feverish amphitheatre of Catalan flags. The 後面會有討論到他。 other occasion is when Madrid com to town. Scientist have measured the noise level before <--這一段只要是反馬迷一 kick-off as louder than a 747 at take off. It hurts. 反Figo者一定要看!! Before Barca's stirring anthem is played, the teams are read out over the PA. "Makelele, Sorali..." then there's a purposeful pause "...Figo". The volume peaks with ear-splitting shrillness - hell hath no (略翻)地獄也許都沒有 fury like a football club whos star player has 跟足球堪比擬的怒火， defected to it's most hated rival - and then again 球隊的明星球員變節且 when Madrid's starting 11 run out to the centre 轉而投效最被憎恨死敵 circle and applaud the crowd. "The son of bitches 陣營。 are taking the piss, " howls a gent nearby, not a year shy 70. 待續 -- 不懂什麼是加泰隆尼亞的驕傲??? 試想Cocu輕鬆把球抄走後 回頭瞄Beckham的眼神.... --
