A: Alright, so the first thing that you need to know about bowling is that you should never cross that line where the lane begins.
好的,打保齡球的第一件要做的事是不要越過這條線,這條線以外就是球的滾道了。
B: Why not?
為什么?
A: Because they polish and oil it to make the ballslide down. If you step there you will slip and fall.
因?yàn)闈L道被打磨得很光滑并且有特別的油涂在上面,如果你踩在上面,你會(huì)很容易滑倒的。
A: OK, so I got my bowling shoes, my ball, our names on the scorecard, so now, how the heck do I play this?
好的,現(xiàn)在我穿上了保齡鞋,拿到了我的鞋,我的名字也在分?jǐn)?shù)卡上了,怎么打保齡球呢?
A: You throw the ball down the lane and try to knock down all the pins. If you do, that is called a strike. If you don't knock them all down on the first try, then you get a chance to get thespare.

About this sport:
保齡球的起源也許可以追溯到公元前5200年的古埃及,人們在那里發(fā)現(xiàn)了類似現(xiàn)代保齡球運(yùn)動(dòng)的大理石球和瓶。在13世紀(jì)的德國教會(huì)里,流行著一種“九柱球”的游戲,來檢驗(yàn)教徒對宗教的信仰程度。直到宗教革命之后,馬丁路德統(tǒng)一了九瓶制,成為現(xiàn)代保齡球運(yùn)動(dòng)的真正起源。如今,保齡球已經(jīng)成為現(xiàn)代社會(huì)中的一項(xiàng)時(shí)尚運(yùn)動(dòng),流行于歐、美、大洋洲和亞洲一些國家。 保齡球,英文名是bowling,又稱地滾球,它是在木板道上滾球擊柱的一種室內(nèi)運(yùn)動(dòng)。
