生活英語情景對話:肯尼亞足球
Todd: Alex, when you were little, what did you like to do?
艾利克斯,你小時候喜歡做什么?
Alex: When I was small and I was in junior high school we used to like playing soccer with my friends. Actually in Kenya, what's different from other countries, we used to make our own soccer ball to play. So, it's very easy.
我上高中的時候喜歡和朋友踢足球??夏醽喤c其他國家的區(qū)別就在于,我們要自己制作足球。這十分簡單。
Todd: Wow. How do you make the soccer ball?
哇。你怎么做足球?
Alex: We used to collect like plastic papers and bind them with string, around them to make something round. So it was like, you didn't have to spend any money.
我們會收集塑料紙,用繩子捆起來,再找圓的東西照在外面。這樣,你就不用花錢買足球了。
Todd: Wow, that's ingeneous. That's great. So were you a good soccer player?
哇,真是聰明。真棒。你球踢得好嗎?
Alex: Not really. I used to like playing soccer but I was not very good, actually to tell the truth
不是很好。我以前很喜歡踢足球,但說實話并不是很擅長。
Todd: Yeah, me too. I wasn't a very good athlete. I mean I like sports but I was never any good. Um, so do you play soccer in Japan?
我也是。我不是很擅長運(yùn)動。我的意思是我喜歡運(yùn)動,但我并不擅長。嗯,你在日本也踢球嗎?
Alex: Sometimes, until last year when I was in school I still played soccer. Right now, actually I'm not playing anymore because I'm like busy.
有時候踢,去年我在學(xué)校的時候還踢足球呢?,F(xiàn)在不踢了,因為忙起來了。
Todd: Yeah.
是的。
Alex: Yeah. You can't play soccer without a big group of people and everyone is busy right now so I'm not playing anymore.
是的。要踢球必須找一大批朋友,而現(xiàn)在大家都很忙,所以就不踢了。
Todd: Yeah, that's a bummer. Like I always want to play sports but it's hard as you get older. When's the last time you played soccer?
是的,這點(diǎn)很麻煩。我喜歡運(yùn)動,但年紀(jì)越大堅持越難。你上一次踢足球是什么時候?
Alex: About one year ago. I think November of 199?,...2003, November.
大約一年前。好像是九幾年11月,或者03年11月。
Todd: OK. Actually in Kenya do you call it soccer or football?
在肯尼亞你們管足球叫“soccer”還是“football”?
Alex: In Kenya you call it football.
在肯尼亞,人們管足球叫“football”。
Todd: Football. I'm sorry.
“football”。真遺憾。
Alex: Actually, I've been in Japan for sometime so I'm used to calling it soccer. In Kenya you call it football.
我在日本已經(jīng)待了一段時間了,所以習(xí)慣叫足球“soccer”了。在肯尼亞我們叫它“football”。
生活英語情景對話:騎馬
Todd: Hello, Daniela, how are you tonight?
你好,丹妮拉,你今天過得怎么樣?
Daniella: Hi, Todd. I'm fine, thanks.
你好,托德。我很好,謝謝。
Todd: Now, you were showing me a picture of a horse.
你給我看的是一匹馬的照片。
Daniella: Yes.
是的。
Todd: And you were saying that female horses and male horses are different.
你說母馬和公馬看上去是不同的。
Daniella: They behave different to me, so maybe it's just my imagination, or not but female horses, mares, are kind of cold and aggressive towards me cause I'm a female and I kind of compete over the male coaches' affection, that was my conclusion because male horses are so nice to me.
公馬和母馬對我的表現(xiàn)是不同的,這也有可能只是我的想象。母馬一般對我都冷淡而且不友善,因為我是男的,而且是典型的男性性格。這就是我的結(jié)論,因為公馬對我都很好。
Todd: So you saying the horse can tell if it's a man or woman rider.
你是說馬能分辨騎手的性別。
Daniella: Exactly, my horse can do that. She's more affectionate towards men.
沒錯,我的馬就能。它總是對我飽含深情。
Todd: Really!
真的!
Daniella: Yeah, and she's a female.
是的,而且它是匹母馬。
Todd: So if I want to go horse riding for the first time and I'm on my own.
如果我是第一次騎馬而且是自己一個人。
Daniella: You don't have to worry because the coach will make sure the horse will behave and it will fear the coach, at least, and it won't do anything wrong to you, but if you want to make friends with the horse you'll probably have to work out more with a male horse.
你不用擔(dān)心,因為教練會確保馬行為正常并且敬畏教練,至少要保證馬不會傷害到你,但如果你想和馬交朋友,你最好還是找匹公馬多交流交流。
Todd: Really.
真的。
Daniella: Yeah, for me it's very difficult to become friendly with a female horse. Maybe it's just my impression. Maybe it's not true but that's my conclusion so far.
是的,對于我來說和母馬友好相處就很難。也許只是我的想法。也許不是真的,但迄今為止,這是我自己的結(jié)論。
Todd: Well, that's good to know. Thanks.
很高興能知道這點(diǎn),謝謝。
