snacks for watching soccer /  看球佐餐 / (kànqiú zuǒcān)

A: I've organized a party at my house tonight to watch soccer games, do you want to join?

今晚我在家组织了一个足球派对,你想参加吗?

(jīnwǎn wǒzàijiā zǔzhīle yīɡè zúqiú paiduì, nǐxiǎnɡ  cānjiā ma?)

B: That's great. You mean a bunch of friends watching the games of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 together, right?  

太好了,你是说好多朋友一起看卡塔尔世界杯的比赛,对吗?

(tàihǎole, nǐshìshuō hǎoduō pénɡyǒu yīqǐ kàn kǎtǎěr shìjièbēi de bǐsài, duìma?) 

A: Besides, I am also preparing some snacks for watching soccer games as well as a quiz game about soccer knowledge.

除了看球,我还准备了一些看球佐餐,还有关于足球知识问答的小游戏。

(chúle kànqiú, wǒhái zhǔnbèi le yīxiē kànqiú zuǒcān, háiyǒu ɡuānyú zúqiú zhīshí wèndáde xiǎoyóuxì.)

B: That sounds nice. We also have snacks for watching soccer in my country. Usually we eat fried fish sticks and fried pork skin that are crispy like potato chips. We also drink a lot of beer.    

这听起来真不错。我们国家也有看球佐餐,我们一般会吃炸鱼条和像薯片一样酥脆的炸猪皮,并且会喝很多啤酒。

(zhè tīnɡqǐlái zhēn bùcuò.wǒmén ɡuójiā yěyǒu kànqiú zuǒcān, wǒmén yībān huìchī zhàyútiáo hé xiànɡ  shǔpiàn yīyànɡ sūcuì de zhàzhūpí, bìnɡqiě huìhē hěnduō píjiǔ.)

A: Haha. Well, when in China do as the Chinese do. Our snacks for watching soccer are usually sunflower seeds, kebabs and fruit.  

哈哈,那你在中国可要入乡随俗了。我们这里的看球佐餐一般有瓜子,烤串和水果拼盘。

(hāhā, nànǐ zài zhōnɡɡuó kěyào rùxiānɡsuísú le.wǒmén zhèlǐde kànqiú zuǒcān yībān yǒu ɡuāzǐ, kǎochuàn hé shuǐɡuǒ pīnpán.)

B: Of course. I really like Chinese culture. I really want to enjoy snacks for watching soccer with friends.    

当然,我非常喜欢中国文化,也想和朋友们一起分享看球佐餐。

(dānɡrán, wǒ fēichánɡ xǐhuān zhōnɡɡuó wénhuà, yěxiǎnɡ hé pénɡyǒumén yīqǐ fēnxiǎnɡ kànqiú zuǒcān.). 

A: Then it's a deal. I'll pick you up at 8pm.  

那就这么说定了,今晚八点我来接你。
