第54课：弗兰克和穆里尔去了女足

Lesson 54: Frank and Muriel go to the Women's Footy

弗兰克和他的妻子穆里尔支持科林伍德AFL俱乐部，因为他们的黑白军装而被称为“喜鹊”。

Frank and his wife Muriel support Collingwood AFL club, known as "The Magpies" because of their black and white uniform.

喜鹊女子团队正在他们的家乡玩Essendon（被称为“轰炸机”）。

The Magpies women's team is playing Essendon (known as "The Bombers") at their home ground.

Footy通常是一项户外运动，尽管墨尔本有一个带有完全关闭屋顶的场地。 场地通常呈椭圆形，座位分为海湾，可以“遮盖”（不受天气影响，站立时）或露天。

Footy is usually an outdoor sport, although Melbourne has one venue with a fully-closing roof. Venues are usually oval-shaped, with seating divided into bays, either "under cover" (protected from the weather, in a stand) or uncovered.

穆里尔和弗兰克热衷于看比赛，但天气很危险。

Muriel and Frank are keen to see the game, but the weather is threatening.
