这句话中“也不上了”什么意思？
我的课本有这句话：她快成足球迷了，为看足球课也不上了。
The first part, I understand： She'll soon be a football fan ...
But I don't get the second part. I'm translating 为 as "because," but then 看足球 ... "watching football lessons"? Can 看 here take on the meaning "attending"? Nobody watches football lessons.
And then, 不上了. I thought it meant a verb was attempted but not achieved, like 裤子穿不上了 -- I couldn't put on my pants. But that doesn't make any sense here: "She'll quickly become a football fan because she won't watch football lessons." The sentence is illogical to me. What am I missing? Is my textbook just weird?

Emmm, you need to break apart as below:
“ 为看足球,课也不上了。” = “ 为（了）看足球，也不上（课）了。”
“为（了）”means “In order to …”
here 也 is for emphasis
“不上（课）” not go to school/class, here“课” was placed in the front as a subject.
“了” is a modal particle.
So the second part means: skipped class to watch football.

Hahha it is not“ 为/看/足球课/也不上了“ but “为/看足球/课也不上了“. It means she skipped class in order to watch football match. “上课”means taking classes. Hope you will find this answer helpful～

Hi Emily, you need to break apart the second part like this: 为看足球/课也不上了.
Here 为 means "for", indicating an objective. It's the same as 为了.
“课也不上了” is a variation from “不上课” (attend class). To emphasize the action, in Chinese we sometimes put the verb at the end of a sentense.
The structure 连......都不...... can be translated as “ even + negative meaning of a verb”. Let me give you more examples:
1.为了准备明天的考试，她今晚连觉都不睡了
To prepare for tomorrow's exam, she doesn't even sleep tonight. Here 连觉都不睡了 is a variation from 不睡觉.
2. 为了减肥，她每天连晚饭都不吃了
To loose weight, she even skips everyday's supper. 连晚饭都不吃了 is a variation from 不吃晚饭.
So the translation of the second part can be: To watch football, she even skipped class/she didn't even attend class.
