实战口语情景对话 第146期:冬季运动 Winter Sports

 Todd: So, Christian¹, you're into skiing. What is it about skiing that you like?

Christian，你喜欢滑雪。那你为什么喜欢滑雪呢？

Christian: It's just fun to go out with your friends, enjoy a day and have fun cause you can do so many things when you're out there on the slopes. You can go jumping and just cruise² down and, there's just so many things you can do. Just the fact that you can hang out with your friends all day. It's just fun, it's just a relaxed atmosphere.

就是跟朋友出去会很开心，那一天过得都会很快乐。因为在斜坡上的时候你可以做很多项运动。可以跳起来，可以冲上去，反正就是你可以做很多你想做的事儿。其实事实就是你可以整天都跟朋友呆在外面。这就很有意思，而且氛围很轻松。

Todd: Now do you go skiing in Japan?

现在你在日本滑雪吗？

Christian: I haven't yet but I want to go. I mean, Nagano prefecture has, as far as I know, a lot of good places because of the Olympics and everything so. I would like to go and check it out but so far, I haven't had the chance, no.

我还没在日本滑过雪呢但我挺想去的。我听说，日本的长野县有很多滑雪的地方，因为那儿开过奥林匹克运动会，所以我挺想去看看的，但就是一直都没有机会。

Todd: What do you need to know to be a good skier³? See, actually I don't ski, so I went one time and it didn't work out to well, so.

要成为一个好的滑雪者需要了解些什么呢？像我，我就不会滑雪，我就去过一次，滑的也不是很好。

Christian: Well, you know, practice makes perfect, right! So it's all about practicing. You go out there, you go someone who knows the game and they'll teach you. Spend a couple of days and you'll be a full-blown skier.

嗯，你知道的，熟能生巧！所以多练练就好了。你和会滑雪的朋友一起去，他们会教你的。滑上几天就能完全掌握要领了。

Todd: Have you ever trained somebody how to ski?

你教过别人怎么滑雪吗？

Christian: Actually, I went skiing once when I was in Australia, that was in 2002, and I had a friend with me from Singapore and he'd never seen snow before, so we went out. I was snow boarding and he was actually downhill skiing, and it was a fun experience for him because he didn't know what was going on, so I taught him a bit but, yeah, he didn't really learn that much. Maybe I was, I don't know if I was a bad teacher or he was a bad skier, maybe a combination⁴ of both.

事实上，2002年，在澳大利亚滑雪的那次，我是和一位来自新加坡的朋友一起去的，之前他从未见过雪。所以我们就去了。我在高速滑雪而他是速降滑雪。而对于他来说那是一份很有趣的经历，因为他不知道接下来会发生什么，所以我就一点点地教他，但他却没有学到多少东西。也许我是个很糟糕的老师，也许他是个很糟糕的滑雪者，其实我也说不好，也许两者都有吧。
