You：你在队里是什么角色？What role do you play on the team?

David：You mean what position you play. “What role” is more like “what role did you play in the theater?” 应该说“你踢什么位置”。“什么角色”更多是用在“你在剧中扮演什么角色”这样的句子里。

You：那你踢什么位置？So what’s your position?

David：I play forward, striker.我踢前锋。

You：So you mainly play on the other side’s turf trying to score goals.
on the other side’s turf：“on someone’s turf”直译为“在他们控制或掌管的草地上”，喻意是“在某人的地盘上”。 那你主要在对方的半场活动，射门。

David：Something like that.差不多吧。
