你覺得加拿大冰球聯(lián)盟球員罷賽并要求更多工資合理嗎

今天的這段對話，在討論冰球比賽，
 
你覺得加拿大冰球聯(lián)盟球員罷賽并要求更多工資合理嗎
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: So Alan you must be happy. You have hockey again in Canada.
 
艾倫，你一定很高興。加拿大冰球比賽回歸了。
 
B: Yes, I was quite happy to read that the NHL's come to an agreement with the players. And there'll be hockey again starting in October.
 
是啊，看到國家冰球聯(lián)盟同球員達(dá)成協(xié)議這一消息我非常高興。冰球賽季將于10月重啟。
 
A: Ok now as a fan of hockey or just a sports fan in general, do you think that the athletes are making too much money, that it's ok for them to strike and ask for more money?
 
作為冰球迷，或者總體來說，作為一名體育迷，你會不會認(rèn)為球員掙得太多了，你覺得他們罷賽并要求更多工資合理嗎？
 
B: Yes I do think the athletes are making too much money. And I actually agree with the idea of having a salary cap, because I think it makes it more fair for all the teams in the league. Not just the big market teams that make a lot of money, but all the teams have a fair chance at the best players.
 
對，我的確認(rèn)為運動員掙得太多了。實際上我同意工資帽這個觀點，因為我認(rèn)為這對聯(lián)盟中的所有球隊來說更公平。不是僅僅大市場球隊能獲得巨大的利潤，而應(yīng)該是所有球隊都有公平競爭最優(yōu)秀球員的機會。
 
A: Ok, can you just explain exactly what is a salary cap?
 
好，你能詳細(xì)解釋一下什么是工資帽嗎？
 
B: Salary cap is the amount of money that a team is allowed to spend for their players. So, if you have a salary cap of 35 million dollars, the team is only allowed to spend that much total for all their players' salaries.
 
工資帽是一支球隊可以支付給球員的金額。如果工資帽是3500萬美元，這就是球隊最多可支付給所有球員的工資限額。
 
A: Oh I see.
 
哦，我明白了。
 
B: They cannot go over that.
 
不能超過這個限額。
 
A: What is the reason that you would have a salary cap? What's the argument behind it?
 
那你認(rèn)為設(shè)定工資帽的理由是什么？論據(jù)是什么？
 
B: So teams that have more money than other teams can't just buy all the good players and leave the less talented players for the smaller market teams. So there's more chance for the smaller market teams to compete with the large market teams for the good players.
 
比其他球隊富有的球隊不能把所有優(yōu)秀的球員都買過來，而將能力較差的球員留給小市場球隊。這樣一來小市場球隊就有更多的機會同大市場球隊競爭優(yōu)秀球員。
 
A: So do you think that hockey now is doing well, and that you will not have a strike for a long time to come?
 
所以你認(rèn)為現(xiàn)在冰球運動的進(jìn)展不錯，較長一段時間內(nèi)不會發(fā)生罷賽了嗎？
 
B: Yes I think after this one there won't be another strike or lock-out for many years. Actually I think this deal is a 10-year deal. I think I read it's a 10-year deal, so there won't be one for at least 10 years, or longer hopefully.
 
對，我認(rèn)為在這次糾紛之后的數(shù)年內(nèi)都不會再發(fā)生停擺事件了。實際上我想這份協(xié)議的期限是十年。我記得報道上說的是一份10年協(xié)議，所以至少十年內(nèi)不會再發(fā)生停擺事件，當(dāng)然我希望時間能更長些。
 
A: Well I'm glad you have hockey again.
 
好，很高興你又能欣賞到冰球比賽了。
 
B: Thank you.
 
謝謝你。
