【英音模仿秀】网球运动的兴起

模仿文本： The scene should be laid on a well-kept garden lawn. There should be bright sun overhead. Near at hand, under the cool shadow of a tree, there should be strawberries and cream, and a few spectators who do not want to play but are lovers of the game. If all these conditions are present, an afternoon spent at lawn tennis is a highly Christian¹ and beneficent pastime.

 

译文：人们打网球时，必须有维护良好的花园草地，头顶最好有明亮的阳光，凉爽的树荫下，最好有随手可得的草莓和乳酪；场边最好有些观众，他们自身不打球，但极其热爱网球运动。如果这些条件都具备了，打上一下午的网球可谓是高度基督教式的，也是一种行善的娱乐活动。
