Hello.MynameisXuHeQiucen.IamfromChongqingUniversity.Ilovethisprogrammeverymuch.AndIhaveaquestion.Whenwewatchfootballgames,whydowealwaysseeEngland,Scotland,Wales,butnotBritain?AndwhatdoBritishpeoplethinkaboutit?

WangFei:徐何秋岑的问题特别有意思。为什么英格兰England,苏格兰Scotland,威尔士Wales,别忘了还有北爱尔兰NorthernIreland,他们为什么不组成一支英国国家球队进展竞赛呢？英国人又对此怎么看呢？大家好，I”mWangFei.

Finn:AndI”mFinn.Actually,it”squiteahottopicrightnow.

WangFei:Ahottopic.一个很热的话题。Why”sthat?

Finn:Well,intheOlympics,theUKcompetesasonecountry:TeamGB.PeopleareaskingifScotland,England,NorthernIrelandandWaleswillcombinetoformaBritishOlympicfootballteamaswell.

WangFei:Ahyes,forLondon2022.Whatdoyouthink,Finn?

Finn:Personally,Ithinkit”snotabadidea!ButasaScot,IwilladmitthatnotmanyScottishplayerswouldbegoodenoughtogetintotheteam.

WangFei:是这样的！同时这个缘由也能局部答复今日的问题了。英格兰是组成英国的四个国家中的国家，英格兰也有的足球队员，假如只组成一支国家队，其它三个国家的足球队员就很可能没有参与的份儿了。

Finn:Anyway,footballisatopicthatmostBritishpeoplehaveanopinionabout.Let”shearfromsomeonewhothinksthisideaofaBritishteammightwork.

WangFei:刚刚的被采访者们表达了不同的意见，他们说假如组成一支球队，这些球队之间独特的竞争rivalry也就消逝了。

Finn:Yes,peoplefromdifferentnationsreallyenjoytherivalry.Anotherpersonsaysthatitwouldbegoingagainstourcultureandtraditionstocombinetheteams.

WangFei:这与我们的文化和传统相悖。最终一位被采访者也表达了同样的想法。他说这是一个极具国家特色的运动，amassivelynationalisticsport.所以你不能把它浓缩成一支球队，condenseintooneteam.

WangFei:的确这样，如何公正选择队员呢？每个国家各选25%听起来太死板了，但需要建立什么样的选拔机制呢？这是另外一个有争议的地方，anothercontroversialarea.
