雙語(yǔ)閱讀：永葆美麗的要訣
摘要:我認(rèn)為這篇文章是上篇文章“成為一個(gè)足球寡婦”的完美續(xù)篇，在這篇文章里面我分享了八大規(guī)則，其中我覺(jué)得第六條最重要。
My fellow trainer, Sylvia Guinan, made me aware of these rules that a husband has laid out for his wife to follow during the 2014 World Cup.
I think it’s a perfect continuation of my last post of being a football widow and I simply had to share the rules here. I LOVE rule no.6.
永葆美麗的要訣
我的同事Sylvia Guinan讓我意識(shí)到，熱愛(ài)足球的丈夫應(yīng)該告訴他的妻子在2014世界杯期間需要注意的一些事情。
我認(rèn)為這篇文章是上篇文章“成為一個(gè)足球寡婦”的完美續(xù)篇，在這篇文章里面我分享了八大規(guī)則，其中我覺(jué)得第六條最重要。

Thank you to Aicha Nezzar for sharing this gem on the Facebook Group- Global English Forum.
非常感謝Aicha Nezzar在臉譜—--世界英語(yǔ)論壇上為我們分享這篇佳作。
In the meantime, here’s a fun song that’s been written by one of my readers, Libby Russell that all football widows will identify with. Enjoy! Thank you for sharing, Libby. It’s brilliant!
與此同時(shí)，有一首非常有意思的歌曲來(lái)自我們的讀者Libby Russell，是她為所有世界杯期間的足球寡婦所作。非常感謝Libby的分享，太棒了!
Libby has posted the lyrics on her YouTube channel in the comments section, but here they are for you. There are plenty of lovely English expressions and British English slang that I’ve highlighted in bold for you. Can you guess the meaning? What does “OMG” stand for?
Libby把這首歌放在了YouTube頻道的評(píng)論部分，我把它摘過(guò)來(lái)了。我將大量的可愛(ài)的表述和英式的俚語(yǔ)都用不同顏色區(qū)分開(kāi)了。你能猜出其中的意思嗎?“OMG”表帶什么意思?
Lyrics
It’s the WORLD CUP, OMG!
I’ve just fallen right down to my knees
Come on England, you’ve got to win
Otherwise th blokes will summer ruin
Come on England, please don’t lose
I just can’t bear the awful moods
Oh please help me
Make it stay away
No good, I’m afraid
Here comes the day
Out come the beers
And plenty of sneers
And all his mates
Well they get in such a state
It’s the WORLD CUP, OMG!
I’ve just fallen right down to my knees
C me on England, you’ve got to win
Otherwise the blokes will summer ruin
Come on England, please don’t lose
It will be all over the news!
It’s small, it’s round
And it seems to send
All our men
Around the bend
Help me, help me
He’s turned into a beast
Shouting, swearing
As he devours a feast
It’s the WORLD CUP, OMG!
I’ve just fallen right down to my knees
Come on England, you’ve got to win
Otherwise the blokes will summer ruin
Come on England, please don’t lose
I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes!
Us poor women
Truly suffer
As he turns into
That old duffer
So I will be cheering
On our lads
Purely so my life
Won’t be quite so bad!
It’s the WORLD CUP, OMG!
I’ve just fallen right down to my knees
Come on England, you’ve got to win
Otherwise the blokes will summer ruin
Come on England, please don’t lose
We’ll be in an awful mood…. If you do!
