托德:史蒂夫,你說你是冰球的忠實(shí)球迷。
Steve: That's right. I love hockey.
史蒂夫:沒錯(cuò)。我很愛冰球。
Todd: OK. Why? What is it about hockey?
托德:嗯。為什么呢?冰球的魅力在哪兒?
Steve: Well, hockey is a really exciting sport. It's played on the ice. It's really fast. It's aggressive. Also, it requires a lot of skill. It's a really good sport for spectators to watch because there's lots of action. You can watch it at home with friends. Drink beer, eat pizza, and have a really good time. I also like it because I'm Canadian and it's Canada's national sport, and Canada is the best hockey team in the world right now.
史蒂夫:嗯,冰球是一項(xiàng)非常刺激的運(yùn)動(dòng)。這是一項(xiàng)在冰上進(jìn)行的運(yùn)動(dòng)。它很有進(jìn)攻性。當(dāng)然,這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)要求許多技藝。是一項(xiàng)很適合觀眾觀看的運(yùn)動(dòng),因?yàn)橛性S多動(dòng)作。你可以在家里和朋友一起看比賽。你們?cè)诒荣悤r(shí)可以喝著啤酒,吃著批薩,然后享受快樂時(shí)光。我喜歡這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)因?yàn)槲沂羌幽么笕?,這是加拿大的國球,加拿大的冰球是目前世界最強(qiáng)的。
Todd: Now Canada has the best hockey team.
托德:加拿大有目前最強(qiáng)的冰球隊(duì)。
Steve: That's right. We won the gold medal. We won the world championship. Both the men's and the women's teams.
史蒂夫:沒錯(cuò)。我們獲得了金牌。我們贏得了世界杯。男子和女子都是冠軍。
Todd: Wow, that's pretty cool. In hockey, how long is the game?
托德:哇,那真棒!冰球比賽一般要用多長時(shí)間?
Steve: The game is three twenty minute periods, but because of stoppages in play , it usually takes about two and a half hours for a whole game.
史蒂夫:比賽分為三局,每局20分鐘,但是因?yàn)楸荣惤?jīng)常中斷,所以通常完成整場比賽要用兩個(gè)半小時(shí)。
Todd: Oh, OK, and did you play in high school when you were younger?
托德:哦,好的,你以前在高中時(shí)打過冰球嗎?
Steve: Ah, no, I'm not that good a skater. You have to be a really good skater, but I played street hockey and floor hockey.
史蒂夫:沒有,我滑冰不是很好。你必須要滑冰滑得很好才能打冰球,不過我打過街頭曲棍球和室內(nèi)曲棍球。
Todd: OK, what's the difference between street hockey and ice hockey?
托德:嗯,街頭曲棍球和冰球之間有什么區(qū)別?
Steve: Well, it's pretty much the same thing. Street hockey you play on the road or on a tennis court and instead of using a puck you use a hockey ball or a tennis ball.
史蒂夫:其實(shí)差不多一樣。街頭曲棍球是在道路上或是網(wǎng)球場上進(jìn)行的,比賽中不會(huì)用冰球,而是用曲棍球或是網(wǎng)球。
Todd: OK, and do you run or?
托德:好的,那比賽中會(huì)奔跑嗎?
Steve: Yeah, you run.
史蒂夫:對(duì),會(huì)跑的。
Todd: Oh, you run!
托德:哦,會(huì)奔跑!
Steve: Yeah. It's pretty well the same game.
史蒂夫:對(duì)。其實(shí)差不多是一樣的。
Todd: OK, alright, thanks Steve.
托德:好的,謝謝你,史蒂夫。
