今天的這段對話,在討論運動,
你最喜歡的運動是什么?中國國家排球隊成績怎么樣
來聽今天的講解:
A:What is your favorite sport?
你最喜歡的運動是什么?
B:My favorite sport is playing volleyball.
我最喜歡打排球。
A:How long have you played volleyball?
你打多久了?
B:10 years on and off. Actually volleyball is a team sport and sometimes we can’t get enough people who also love to play volleyball, to make up a team and pay the fare. If you’re by yourself, then it’s not so much fun. It’s only practice … exercise.
斷斷續(xù)續(xù)有10年了。排球是一項集體運動,有時候都湊不夠人一起打球、分攤費用;但一個人打又沒意思,就成了一種練習(xí)了。
A:Maybe too individual?
太孤單了吧?
B:Well, it’s different from playing with other people. Too boring. I like volleyball because it is a team sport. I can play and communicate with others and we can all enjoy playing the game together.
對啊,自己打不如找人一塊兒打,自己打太悶了。我愛打排球就是因為它是集體運動,可以和別人交流,一起享受運動的樂趣。
A:By the way, I heard that the Chinese national volleyball team is one of the best in the world. Is it true?
順便說一下,我聽說中國國家排球隊是世界上最棒的,是嗎?
B:Yes. Women’s volleyball in particular. There was a time they played so well that they won the championship for five times in a row. Lang Ping was the most famous player back then. She was the team captain. She later coached the national team.
中國女排是這樣的。有一段時間女排表現(xiàn)極佳,獲得五連冠。郎平以前是女排中最出色的隊員,也是以前女排的隊長。退役后執(zhí)教中國女排。
A:How about men’s volleyball?
男排怎樣呢?
B:Men's volleyball pales when compared with the achievements of the women's. But men are better known for their achievements in basketball, like Yao Ming.
沒有女排成績好。男籃很不錯,姚明就是一名很出色的隊員。
