Daniel: Do you like watching the Winter Olympic Games?

Adam: Of course. It's the tradition game in winter, and with good reason. Don't you like watching it?

Daniel: Of course I do. I love it. All the games are exciting and the competitors² are respectable³.

Adam: That's true. For various reasons, it takes more to hold a fierce⁴ game for Winter Olympics than it does for Summer Olympics. You know, the low temperature may cause many problems.

Daniel: Yeah. What's the difference between the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics?

Adam: When the Olympic Games started in modern times, only summer events were included. When it grew popular, there came the Winter Olympic Games, which includes a variety of winter sports.

Daniel: I see. Then, what's your favorite winter sport?

Adam: Figure skating. In my eye, nothing beats it.

Daniel: Then you must know Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo.

Adam: Oh, I didn't expect you to know them. But yes, I love them not only because of many medals they've won, but also because of many medals they've won, but also because of their spirits.

Daniel: You should go to talk with May. She is a big fan of them too.

Adam: Sure. What about you? What do you like about the Olympics?

Daniel: For me, the Olympics for the disabled always catches my heart. It makes me understand that perseverance⁵. makes the impossible possible.

Adam: Hey, young man, you are so deep today.

Daniel: I always am. You just didn't notice.

丹尼尔：你喜欢看冬季奥林匹克运动会的比赛吗？

亚当：当然了。这可是冬天的传统活动，是合乎情理的。你难道不喜欢吗？

丹尼尔：当然喜欢。我特别喜欢。所有的比赛都很刺激，选手们也很值得尊敬。

亚当：那是当然的。冬季奥运会如想举办的精彩要比夏季奥运会难得多。有各种各样的条件制约。你知道，低温会引起很多问题。

丹尼尔：是啊。冬季奥运会和夏季奥运会有什么区别呢？

亚当：现代奥运会开始时只包含夏季项目。当它开始流行后，才出现了包含各种冬季运动项目的冬季奥运会。

丹尼尔：我知道了。那么，你最喜欢的冬季运动是什么？

亚当：花样滑冰。在我看来，没什么比它更有意思。

丹尼尔：那你一定知道申雪和赵宏博了。

亚当：哦，我没想到你竟然知道他们。但是，是的，我喜欢他们不光是因为他们得了很多奖牌，也因为他们的精神。

丹尼尔：你应该去跟阿美谈谈。她也是他们的超级“粉丝”。

亚当：好啊。那你呢？你喜欢奥运会的什么项目呢？

丹尼尔：对我来说，残疾人奥运会总是令我很感动。它让我懂得毅力可以把不可能变成可能。

亚当：嗨，年轻人，你今天很深沉啊。

丹尼尔：我一直都是啊，只是你没发现而已。
