    菲利普:只是他們功敗垂成?;蜀R守門員救球救得好。
    足球比賽的守門員,英文叫g(shù)oaltender或goalkeeper,往往簡稱為keeper,俚語則稱為goalie.He has played as goalie for our team for two years即'他做我們球隊(duì)的守門員已有兩年'.
    守門員必須懂得救球。'救球'叫做save,作動詞或名詞都可以,例如:(1) I saved three shots, and thus enabled our team to win a 5-0 victory over Greece(我救了三球,使我們球隊(duì)以五比○擊敗希臘隊(duì))。(2) He made/pulled off/brought off a diving save(他撲前救了一球)。Pull off、bring off都有'完成(某事)'的意思,例如:He eventually pulled off/brought off the deal to everyone's satisfaction(他終于做成了那宗交易,令大家都覺滿意)。Diving save的dive,本來指'跳水',引申其義,守門員撲前救球,也叫dive,例如:He dived for/made a dive for the ball, and caught it(他縱身撲球,接在手里)。
    守門員失守,則叫做miss the ball,例如:The goalie was distracted and missed the ball(守門員分了心,沒有把球擋往)。守門員沒有把球接穩(wěn),則叫做drop a ball,例如:Their goalie dropped the ball, and our team scored another goal(他們的守門員沒有把球接穩(wěn),我們球隊(duì)于是又得一分)。Drop the ball還可引伸解作'犯錯',例如:In handling this matter, I took care not to drop the ball(我處理這件事,小心翼翼,以防犯錯)。
