1--I noticed that your hobbies do not include book reading, painting, poetry, or collecting stamps. Do you think this generation of China is not so interested in traditional hobbies? I find many students in the Internet cafe playing games or chatting online.
2--Yes, but people should not get addicted to the computer. For some people it's too late, they are already lost in cyberspace.
1--I think many students used to read books as a hobby before. Do you think this generation is not reading as many books?
2--Do you think reading books or collecting stamps are sedentary hobbies?
1--They are not active hobbies. They are passive. But playing computer game is also sedentary.
2--Yes. Your body is passive, but your mind is very active.
1--Well, what do you know about American hobbies?
2--I know about baseball and basketball … Americans like to travel.

譯文:
1--我注意到你在談?wù)搨€人愛好時(shí)沒有說到讀書,畫畫,詩歌或者集郵。你是不是覺得現(xiàn)在的年輕人對這些傳統(tǒng)東西不再感興趣了?我看到很多學(xué)生在網(wǎng)吧玩游戲,聊天。
2--人們不應(yīng)該沉溺于電腦。可對一些人來說已經(jīng)太晚了,他們已經(jīng)迷失在虛擬世界里了。
1--我以前以為很多學(xué)生都把讀書當(dāng)作個人愛好。你有沒有覺得現(xiàn)在的人不再讀那么多書了?
2--你是不是覺得喜愛讀書和集郵的人不太愛運(yùn)動?
1--那樣的愛好就要求人們靜下來呀,電腦游戲也屬于這種。
2--玩電腦游戲的時(shí)候,你的身體是靜止的,但你的思維很活躍。
1--你了解美國人有什么愛好嗎?
2--我知道有棒球,籃球……美國人喜歡旅行。
1--是的,在美國人們有很多愛好。
2--我聽說美國孩子喜歡滑雪。
1--美國的年輕人中還是有很多人把運(yùn)動作為一項(xiàng)愛好的。其他的愛好還有讀書,看電視和其他一些傳統(tǒng)愛好?!?/div>
