1--I’d like to ask what your friends have as hobbies.
2--Some of my friends like to get physical, so they play volleyball. I have other friends who enjoy traveling. Some of them really get around.
1--Is playing volleyball a very popular hobby?
2--Yeah, volleyball is popular with my friends, but they don’t live in the same city as me.
1--When I visit the students in universities, I find many students like to play basketball. Maybe more boys like to play basketball and more girls like to play volleyball.
2--Maybe girlls do like play volleyball. Basketball is faster than volleyball. So, that's could be the reason.
1--Basketball is much rougher than volleyball. Just look at how rough the NBA is.
2--Yeah, the NBA is intense. Michael Jordan is my favourite player. I like to watch him play on TV.
1--I also find many students like to play badminton. Is badminton also very popular? From what you say, I find volleyball, basketball and badminton are all very popular.
2--They say volleyball is not as popular as basketball.
1--Maybe it is more popular for girls?
2--I think you are right. Do you like playing basketball?
1--No, I like to play soccer. Some people get confused with the name of this sport in English. In th US, “ ganlanqiu” is called football and “zuqiu” is called soccer. But in England, “zuqiu” is called football and “ganlanqiu” is known as “American football”.
2--I see.

譯文:
1--能知道你的朋友有些什么愛好嗎?
2--有些人好動,所以他們打排球。還有些朋友喜歡旅游,他們中的一些人確實(shí)去了好多地方。
1--他們都很喜歡打籃球嗎?
2--是的,我的朋友們都很喜歡,但遺憾的是他們不和我住在同一城市。
1--我問過許多大學(xué)生,發(fā)現(xiàn)他們都喜歡打籃球。男孩兒可能更喜歡打籃球,而女孩兒則更喜歡打排球。
2--女孩兒確實(shí)喜歡打排球?;@球比排球節(jié)奏要快,這也許就是原因吧。
1--籃球比排球激烈得多,看看NBA就知道了。
2--哦,NBA確實(shí)很激烈。喬丹是我最喜歡的運(yùn)動員,我喜歡看有他的比賽。
1--我也發(fā)現(xiàn)許多學(xué)生喜歡打羽毛球。羽毛球也很流行嗎?聽你所說,我覺得排球,籃球和羽毛球在學(xué)生中都很流行。
2--他們說排球沒有籃球受歡迎。
1--多數(shù)女孩子們更喜歡排球吧?
2--是的,你喜歡打籃球嗎?
1--不,我喜歡足球。一些人可能對英式和美式足球有些不解。在美國,美式橄欖球稱做football,而足球叫做soccer;但是在英國,人們稱足球?yàn)閒ootball,而稱美式橄欖球叫American football。
2--哦,原來是這樣。
