【英语时差8,16】公平竞争 -下

Man: Oooooh! Ref, I can't believe it?! Man 2: That is a shame. That is a shame. Man: What a joke! This referee¹ needs to get some glasses. Man 2: Yeah, but fair play to him, that player was offside. William: Yeah, fair play to him. Now although this phrase² comes from sport, we don't just use it to discuss football and so on. So let's hear another example. Man: Have you heard about Gary? Man 2: No... Man: He's kicked his son out of his house. Man 2: No, what, Kevin?! Man: Yeah, he's kicked him out. I mean, fair play to Gary, Kevin is 42 now. Man 2: Yeah and he crashed Gary's car, remember? William: One of the men says, "Fair play to Gary, Kevin is 42 now." Maybe not everyone understood that clip³, but then, fair play to them, it was quite hard. Yes, I think this might be a phrase that men are a little bit more likely to use than women. Maybe that's because it comes from sport. Feifei: Hmmm... interesting. Bye! William: Bye bye!
