實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：Talent Wish 希望擁有的才能(2)

Gyri: Do you play any sports besides basketball?

格里：除了籃球以外你還做什么運(yùn)動?

Viyasan: Basketball is my main sport. I used to play a little bit of volleyball when I was in high school and so I played the position of setter and so that was very fun. It took a lot of accuracy. I think if I had to be a little bit more talented, it would be at jumping because if I was able to jump a lot more, I would be able to fake my sets and just hit the ball down on the opponent's side. That would be a cool talent to have if I was able to jump maybe five to ten more inches higher than I usually did. I still remember that my vertical was 26 inches when I was in grade nine or grade ten and so maybe if I added a couple more inches onto that I would've been able to perform in more creative ways.

維亞森：籃球是我的主項(xiàng)。我高中時打過一段時間的排球，我的位置是二傳手，那非常有趣。這個位置需要很高的精準(zhǔn)度。我想如果我更具天賦一些，那我希望我能更擅長跳躍，因?yàn)槿绻夷芴酶?，那我就能假裝傳球，直接將球扣在對方場地。如果我跳躍的高度能增加5至10寸，那這會是一個非?？岬牟拍堋Ｎ矣浀梦以?年級或10年級時的縱跳高度是26寸，如果我的跳躍高度能增加幾寸，那我在比賽中的發(fā)揮就能更具創(chuàng)造性。

Gyri: Yeah.

格里：對。

Viyasan: Yeah.

維亞森：嗯。

Gyri: Can you dunk a basketball?

格里：你能灌籃嗎?

Viyasan: That depends on how high the rim is. If it's five feet or six feet, definitely, but on a standard regulation net, which is probably nine or 9.5 feet, I cannot.

維亞森：那要取決于籃筐有多高。如果籃筐只有五六英尺高，那我肯定能灌，但是如果是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的9英尺或9.5英尺這個高度，那我不行。

Gyri: Okay.

格里：好。

Viyasan: But maybe if I had the talent of jumping extremely high, I would be able to dunk a basketball but no.

維亞森：不過如果我擁有那種能跳的極高的能力，那我就能灌籃，可惜我沒有。

Gyri: Can you dribble with your left hand?

格里：你能用左手運(yùn)球嗎?

Viyasan: Of course. I can dribble with my let hand, I can dribble with my right hand, I can dribble between my legs. I've done a lot of different types of basketball drills when I was on the high school team and so yeah, I'm pretty good at handling the basketball. Shooting, driving to the net, and passing it a lot quite a bit, so yeah, pretty efficient with the basketball.

維亞森：當(dāng)然可以。我可以用左手運(yùn)球，可以用右手運(yùn)球，還可以在兩腿間運(yùn)球。我高中時參加過多種不同的籃球訓(xùn)練，所以我非常擅長控球。投籃、帶球上籃、迅速傳球，這些我都沒問題。

Gyri: Yeah, that's impressive.

格里：嗯，那令人印象深刻。

Viyasan: I just can't dunk.

維亞森：我只是不能灌籃。

Gyri: Okay, yeah. Can you shoot with your left hand?

格里：哦，好。你能用左手投籃嗎?

Viyasan: Mm, no, I cannot. I can't shoot with my left hand. I can do a lay up with my left hand, but I can't shoot the ball naturally like a free throw or three point shot with my left hand.

維亞森：嗯，不能。我不會。我不能用左手投籃。我可以用左手上籃，不過我不能用左手罰籃也不能投三分球。

Gyri: Okay. What exactly is a lay up?

格里：好。什么是上籃?

Viyasan: A lay up is when you drive towards the net, you're allowed to take two steps while holding the basketball and so that's usually how people when they're very close to the net, they do a lay up or they're also able to convert a lay up into a dunk so they're able to take two steps and dunk towards the basketball net.

維亞森：上籃就是你帶球接近籃筐，依據(jù)規(guī)則，在持球狀態(tài)下可以移動兩步，通常運(yùn)動員在非常接近籃筐的情況下會選擇上籃，或是把上籃轉(zhuǎn)化成扣籃，運(yùn)動員可以移動兩步，然后將球扣進(jìn)籃筐。

Gyri: Okay.

格里：好。

Viyasan: Yeah, that's a little bit of basketball knowledge for you.

維亞森：嗯，這是一些簡單的籃球知識。

Gyri: Yeah, got it.

格里：嗯，我懂了。
