Here's a tip: If you aren't lucky enough to get a ticket to your favorite sports event but would still like to experience the excitement of watching it in a crowd of screaming spectators, try visiting a sports bar. It's the next best thing to being in the stadium!
Now, here's your Wednesday WordMaster!
FAN ファン
- When talking about sports, a fan is a person who admires or supports a player or team, or one who likes the sport itself. A person can also be a fan of an artist, a celebrity, an art form (such as a genre of music, movies, or books), etc.
- スポーツについて話すとき、fan とは、選手やチームを賞賛したり応援したりする人、または、そのスポーツそのものが好きな人のことをいいます。芸術家、有名人、特定の芸術分野(音楽、映画、文学分野など)などが好きな人のことも fan ということができます。

Someday I'm going to be a famous professional soccer player and have millions of fans. - Some fans at the game got drunk and started dancing on the field during half-time.
- Science fiction fans are all excited about the new “Star Battles” movie that's opening next week.
- (to a pop singer)
I'm a really big fan of yours. Could I have your autograph?
Take care, sports fan!
