摩托車越野賽比賽激烈，贊助者會給業(yè)余選手提供什么

來聽今天的講解:

A: Oh, my God! I can't believe how they fly through the air!

天??！我不敢相信他們怎么能飛躍起來。

B: Isn't it wild?

狂野吧？

A: I think it looks too dangerous. People must get killed all the time.

看起來好危險，一定總是出人命。

B: Actually, people get hurt pretty often.But no one has ever gotten killed in a professional motocross race.It hasn't ever happened in the history of the sport.

事實上人很常受傷，但是沒有人在職業(yè)摩托車越野賽中身亡，從來沒在這種運動的歷史上發(fā)生過。

A: That is surprising. It looks so dangerous.

真是讓人吃驚！這看起來好危險。

B: I know it looks dangerous. But it isn't as dangerous as car racing.

看來的確危險，但是沒有賽車危險。

A: Which one is your brother?

哪個是你哥哥？

B: He's number 37.He should pass again in a couple minutes. He's wearing all orange.

他是 37 號。他幾分鐘后要再通過一次，他全身穿成橙色。

A: Did you ever try this?

你玩過這個嗎？

B: Oh, yes. It's really exciting.But I wasn't as serious about it as Dave. So Dave became a racer.He goes to races almost every Sunday in the summer.

有啊，真的好刺激。但是我沒有戴夫認真，所以戴夫成了賽車手。夏天他幾乎每個星期天都去比賽。

A: Is he a professional?

他是職業(yè)的嗎？

B: Oh, no. These are amateur racers now.The professionals will race in about an hour.

不是?，F(xiàn)在這些都是業(yè)余的。大約再過一小時職業(yè)賽會開始。

A: He's an amateur? So he doesn't make any money from this.

他是業(yè)余的？那么他沒有從中賺到錢。

B: That's right. You have to be a professional to make money.But Dave has a sponsor. Cycle City Yamaha is the shop that sponsors him.

沒錯，職業(yè)選手才能賺錢。但是戴夫有贊助者，機車城雅馬哈贊助他。

A: What does a sponsor do?

贊助者提供什么？

B: Racers who have sponsors usually get free racing equipment from the shop.Or they sometimes get to use the shop's van to take their motorcycle to the races.Dave uses his own van, but he gets a lot of free equipment from Cycle City.So it's a good deal.

有贊助者的選手通常從廠商那兒拿到免費的比賽裝備。或是用廠商的旅行車將他們的摩托車送到賽場。戴夫開自己的旅行車，但是他從機車城那兒拿到很多免費的裝備。真是不錯。

A: Do women race?

有女生參賽嗎？

B: Sure. But not many.It's a very rough sport. But in some places there is women's competition.Look! There's Dave.

當然有，但是不多。這是很艱難的運動，不過有些地方有女生比賽。看！那是戴夫。

A: I see him. Number 37.

我看到了，37 號。

B: Right.

沒錯。

A: Ah! He almost fell!

他快摔倒了。

B: No, he didn't. That was a trick he used to get around the corner faster.

沒有，那是他用來快速彎過轉(zhuǎn)角的招數(shù)。

A: I'm glad I came along today. This is really fun to watch.

很高興今天我來了，真的很好看。
