Those fans who follow their teams ('footy fans') are indeed fanatical. There are currently 18 teams in the top level competition, the Australian Football League (called the 'AFL'). The oldest team in the AFL competition is Melbourne (also known as 'the Demons'), which formed in 1858. It is the oldest football team in the world. The team with the largest following today is Collingwood (also known as 'the Magpies'), which has 72,600 paid up members. Collingwood fans are very fanatical indeed, and it is probably true to say that Collingwood is the team which all other football fans 'love to hate'. I follow a team called Essendon (also known as 'the Bombers'), and our two biggest rivals are Carlton (also known as 'the Blues') and, of course, Collingwood.
追随自己支持球队的球迷（澳式足球迷）非常狂热。目前澳式足球顶级联赛——澳式足球联盟（简称AFL）中有18支球队。澳式足球联盟中历史最悠久的球队是成立于1858年的墨尔本魔鬼队。这支球队也是世界上成立最早的球队。目前球迷最多的球队是科林伍德喜鹊队，其付费会员达7.26万人。科林伍德队的球迷非常狂热，可以说，科林伍德队是让其他球队的球迷又爱又恨的球队。我支持的球队是艾森顿轰炸机队，我们球队的两大竞争对手是卡尔顿布鲁士队，当然还有科林伍德队。
So what's it like to attend a big game of Australian Rules Football? Well, it's exciting, loud, fun and passionate. And it's played fast and furious. Top level players run approximately 14 kilometres during a game, further than in any other game. Footy Fans arrive early, usually with a colourful club scarf, beanie and perhaps a club jumper.
那现场观看澳式足球比赛是什么感觉？嗯，可以说既兴奋、热闹、有趣又充满热情。澳式足球比赛的进程快速而激烈。顶级球员在一场比赛中的平均跑动距离为14公里，比任何比赛都要多。澳式足球迷会很早到现场，通常他们会戴着鲜艳的球队围巾、帽子，可能还会穿着球队帽衫。
Up the mighty Bombers! The crowd love to shout, cheer and clap whenever a goal is kicked, or a high mark taken. And disagreeing with the umpire (the 'man in white') is an old tradition amongst footy fans. For most footy fans, the umpire makes the wrong decision about half the time.
强大的轰炸机队加油！在进球或是接到球时，球迷会大喊、欢呼、鼓掌。不认同裁判是澳式足球迷的古老传统。大部分澳式足球迷认为裁判有一半时间做出的都是错误的判罚。
