一个足球俱乐部的主席与俱乐部的成员发生了很多的争执,主要是利益分配方面的问题,在下面的英语口语对话里,成员进行了投票,结果主席被开除:
成员1:我反对我们在安菲尔德球场上花更多的钱。
Member a: I object to
us being charged more money to play at Anfield.
成员2:我同意,尤其因为约翰·霍丁拥有这个球场。
Member b: I agree,
especially because John Houlding owns the land.
成员5:作为埃弗顿足球俱乐部的主席,霍丁不应该这么做。我觉得我们应该将他开除。
Member e: As Everton FC’s football president, John Houlding should not be
doing this. I think we need to get rid of him.
成员3:作为球场的拥有者,霍丁先生可以做任何他想做的事情。他把钱借给俱乐部去建造看台,并一步步支持我们。
Member c: As the land
owner, Mr. Houlding can do what he likes. He lent the club money to build a
stand and has supported us every step of the way.
成员5:霍丁先生,就像你看到的,这里有很多人并不开心。
Member e: Mr.
Houlding, as you can see, there’s lots of unhappy faces at this board.
成员4:我们不高兴的原因是我们支付者一笔昂贵的租金而你已经在俱乐部上赚到了钱。你为什么还需要更多?
Member d: We’re
unhappy because we are charged a high rent, you’re already making money out of
the club. why do you need more?
成员5:我们有意发起一次投票来决定是否开除你作为埃弗顿足球主席的职位。
Member e: We motion a
vote to get rid of you as Everton Football Club’s president.
霍丁:我为支持这个俱乐部做了所有我能做的。贷款,为我们的球迷建立球场,买下球员。我所增加的租金是不合理的。俱乐部如此成功应该支付这笔费用。
Houlding: I’ve done
everything I can to support this club. Loaning money, creating a stand for our
fans and buying players. The rent increases I have put in place are not
unreasonable. And the club is successful enough to be able to afford it anyway.
成员5:如果同意开除约翰·霍丁请说“aye”
Member e: All in
favour of getting rid of John Houlding, say ’aye’.
所有成员:赞成。
All member: Aye.
成员5:结果如此,我们从斯坦利公园搬去古迪逊路吧。
Member e: That’s
final, we shall move across Stanley Park to Goodison Road.
