Are you excited about the 2006 World Cup? It's only a few days away!
It seems that fish are just as excited as people are. These two fish are in an aquarium in Japan. The people at the aquarium made two teams of fish, one team of yellow fish and one of blue fish. Then they created a miniature soccer field in the tank for the fish to play on. The soccer ball was filled with fish food so that the fish would want to try to get it.
The blue fish represent Japan and the yellow fish represent Brazil. Japan hopes that its real soccer team does better than its fish soccer team did; the yellow fish chased after the ball aggressively, but the blue fish just hid in the corner! (Marc Langer, Staff Writer)
再過幾天二○○六年世界盃足球賽就要開賽囉！你是否為此感到興奮？
魚兒看來似乎跟民眾一樣興奮。這兩條魚被飼養在日本水族館裡，水族館的人把魚分成兩隊：黃色魚一隊，藍色魚一隊，然後在魚缸裡造一個足球場模型供牠們嬉戲，足球內裝滿魚飼料，所以魚會企圖搶球。
藍色魚代表日本，黃色魚代表巴西。日本希望真正的日本足球隊能表現得比這支魚兒足球隊出色；黃色魚對球窮追不捨，不過藍色魚終能射門得分。 （翻譯：鄭湘儀）
