雅思口语| Part3:Sports主题
1 make far too much money 赚太多钱了
I think athletes make far too much money, especially footballers. I think that people like nurses, doctors, teachers, they should be getting more money, not people who play sport.我觉得运动员赚钱太多了,尤其是足球运动员,我觉得护士,医生,老师这些应该得到更多钱,而不是那些玩运动的。
2 reap the benefits 获利
I think professional players do deserve the money they get. They're protraying their image publicly and risking their bodies to entertain us and there's a lot of money that goes into it, why shouldn't they reap the benefits. 我觉得专业运动员值得赚那么多,他们塑造公共形象,冒着受伤的危险来让我们开心, 他们也投入了很多钱,为什么不能最终收获成功获利呢?
3 sign a contract 签约
Yes, I certainly think, especially professional footballers earn much too much money. One guy called Rio Ferdinand just signed a contract for 100,000 pounds, per week and that's more money than I'll ever earn in my entire life, so I don't think that's fair. 我当然这么想。尤其是一些专业足球运动员,他们赚的也太多了吧,有个叫里奥·费迪南德的人和人签约,每周能赚10万英镑,这比我这一辈子赚的都多,我觉得不公平。
4 bring in a lot of revenue 带来很多收益
I think athletes deserve all the money they get. I mean they make a lot of money, and it seems crazy that they make so much money, but the bottom line is so many people watch their games buy their jerseys. Buy tickets to follow them, listen to them on radio, so they bring in a lot of revenue, and they are the reason that people watch them so they should get all the money that they earn. 我觉得运动员得到那么多钱是合理的,我的意思是说表面上看着赚这么多钱很疯狂,但前提是很多人看他们的比赛,买他们的球衣,买门票,在收音机上听他们, 因此带来了很多收益呀。因为有他们,人们才会看,他们拿了自己应得的。
