每年观赛的三位好友相约观看最后一届超级碗

Three friends are hoping for a great Super Bowl game this year, because it is likely to be their last as a group.
三位好友希望今年能看到一场精彩的超级碗比赛，因为这可能是他们一起观看的最后一场比赛。

Don Crisman, Gregory Eaton, and Tom Henschel have gone to the National Football League championship game for 55 years. The first game they visited was in 1967.
唐·克里斯曼、乔治·伊顿以及汤姆亨舍尔已经看了55年的国家橄榄球联盟冠军赛。他们观看的第一场比赛是在1967年。

Crisman, who is 85, lives in Maine. He said this year's game in Los Angeles will be his last. Eaton, 82, lives in Michigan. He wants to keep going, but he worries about his health. Henschel is 80. He lives in Florida. He said his last game will be in 2026.
85岁的克里斯曼住在缅因州。他说今年在洛杉矶的比赛将是他观看的最后一场比赛。82岁的伊顿住在密歇根州。他想继续观看比赛，但是担心自己的身体健康。亨舍尔80岁了。他住在佛罗里达州。他说他将在2026年观看最后一场比赛。

Henschel said the group uses the Super Bowl as a way to meet up and spend time together. They talk about old memories.
亨舍尔表示，该团队将超级碗作为一种相聚的方式。他们聊起旧日回忆。

But in recent years, they understood the tradition might come to an end one day.
但是近年来，他们明白这一传统可能有一天会结束。

"Old age is catching up to all of us," Henschel said.
亨舍尔表示：“我们都老啦。”

Crisman and Henschel met at the Super Bowl in 1983. Eaton met them in the 2010s.
克里斯曼和亨舍尔于1983年在超级碗比赛中相遇。伊顿在本世纪10年代认识了他们。

They are among the very few members of a group of fans who have been to every Super Bowl. Each year, some people die or cannot travel because of poor health.
他们是为数不多观看过每届超级碗的群体之一。每年都会有一些人过世，或身体欠安无法出行。

This year, they will be able to sit next to each other. Last year, they went to the game, but could not sit close to each other because of COVID-19 restrictions.
今年他们将能够坐到一起。去年他们去看了比赛，但是由于新冠肺炎限制，他们不能挨着坐。

Eaton said he is excited for a large crowd this year. Last year, in Florida, only 22,000 fans were permitted to watch the game.
伊顿表示，他对今年会有大量观众感到兴奋。去年在佛罗里达州，只允许2.2万米球迷观看比赛。

Eaton is also looking forward to seeing Matthew Stafford play quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams. Stafford used to play for Eaton's favorite team, the Detroit Lions. The quarterback is the most important position on the team.
伊顿也期望看到马修斯·塔福德为洛杉矶公羊队打四分卫。塔福德曾效力于伊顿最喜欢的底特律雄狮队。四分卫是球队最重要的位置。

"We just love football," Eaton said. He said he paid about $2,500 for his ticket, which is about 400 times the price he paid 55 years ago.
伊顿表示：“我们很喜欢橄榄球。”他说他为这张球票掏了大约2500美元，这大概是他55年前支付价格的400倍。

Crisman said he is moving slower than he was during the first game. He said this year's game will be his last unless his favorite team, the New England Patriots, makes it to the Super Bowl next year.
克里斯曼表示，他比自己第一次看比赛时动作要迟缓多了。他说今年将是他最后一次观看比赛，除非他喜欢的新英格兰爱国者队明年能打进超级碗比赛。

"One year at time," he said. "But I'm feeling we're very near the end."
他说：“比赛一年一届，但是我觉得我们的日子已经接近尾声了。”
