没事，“旧世界”主要指法国、意大利、西班牙等有着几百年历史的传统葡萄酒酿造国家。而“新世界”则指美国、加拿大、阿根廷、澳大利亚等新兴的葡萄酒酿造国家。

我觉得英格兰，阿根廷都挺有希望的。还有德国，东道主占天时、地利、人和，绝对不能小看。上届的韩国就是最好的例子。

I think England and Argentina both have hopes. Don’t forget Germany. The hosting nation has all kinds of advantages, so they certainly can’t be underestimated. Korea in the last World Cup is the best example.

我觉得最热门的还是巴西。他们的阵容很出色，小组赛分组也特别有利。但是，英格兰和阿根廷分到的简直就是死亡之组。你支持谁啊？

I still think Brazil is the best. They’ve got an excellent line-up and are in a good position in the small group. But England and Argentina are in tough groups. Which do you support?

人人都来巴结我和我的家人，朝我点头哈腰。我说一，没人敢说二。但没过多久就开始打仗了。朝廷没了，皇上也没了，一夜之间我就变得一无所有了。

Everybody came and fawned on my family and I, bowing and scraping. I would say 'one' and no one dared say 'two'. However, not long after, the war began. The imperial court was no more, the emperor was gone and in one night's time I didn't have a thing in the world.

对啊，清代家具相比之下就完全不同了。设计更加复杂，深受宫廷家具的影响。就算一张饭桌的桌脚，都被雕刻得非常细致。

Yeah, in comparison, Qing dynasty furniture is completely different. The design is more complex, heavily influenced by the furniture of the imperial court. Even a dining room table leg was meticulously carved.
