實戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：冰球 Hockey

Todd: OK, Steve you were saying that you're a big hockey fan.

托德：史蒂夫，你說你是冰球的忠實球迷。

Steve: That's right. I love hockey.

史蒂夫：沒錯。我很愛冰球。

Todd: OK. Why? What is it about hockey?

托德：嗯。為什么呢?冰球的魅力在哪兒?

Steve: Well, hockey is a really exciting sport. It's played on the ice. It's really fast. It's aggressive. Also, it requires a lot of skill. It's a really good sport for spectators to watch because there's lots of action. You can watch it at home with friends. Drink beer, eat pizza, and have a really good time. I also like it because I'm Canadian and it's Canada's national sport, and Canada is the best hockey team in the world right now.

史蒂夫：嗯，冰球是一項非常刺激的運動。這是一項在冰上進行的運動。它很有進攻性。當然，這項運動要求許多技藝。是一項很適合觀眾觀看的運動，因為有許多動作。你可以在家里和朋友一起看比賽。你們在比賽時可以喝著啤酒，吃著批薩，然后享受快樂時光。我喜歡這項運動因為我是加拿大人，這是加拿大的國球，加拿大的冰球是目前世界最強的。

Todd: Now Canada has the best hockey team.

托德：加拿大有目前最強的冰球隊。

Steve: That's right. We won the gold medal. We won the world championship. Both the men's and the women's teams.

史蒂夫：沒錯。我們獲得了金牌。我們贏得了世界杯。男子和女子都是冠軍。

Todd: Wow, that's pretty cool. In hockey, how long is the game?

托德：哇，那真棒!冰球比賽一般要用多長時間?

Steve: The game is three twenty minute periods, but because of stoppages in play , it usually takes about two and a half hours for a whole game.

史蒂夫：比賽分為三局，每局20分鐘，但是因為比賽經(jīng)常中斷，所以通常完成整場比賽要用兩個半小時。

Todd: Oh, OK, and did you play in high school when you were younger?

托德：哦，好的，你以前在高中時打過冰球嗎?

Steve: Ah, no, I'm not that good a skater. You have to be a really good skater, but I played street hockey and floor hockey.

史蒂夫：沒有，我滑冰不是很好。你必須要滑冰滑得很好才能打冰球，不過我打過街頭曲棍球和室內(nèi)曲棍球。

Todd: OK, what's the difference between street hockey and ice hockey?

托德：嗯，街頭曲棍球和冰球之間有什么區(qū)別?

Steve: Well, it's pretty much the same thing. Street hockey you play on the road or on a tennis court and instead of using a puck you use a hockey ball or a tennis ball.

史蒂夫：其實差不多一樣。街頭曲棍球是在道路上或是網(wǎng)球場上進行的，比賽中不會用冰球，而是用曲棍球或是網(wǎng)球。

Todd: OK, and do you run or?

托德：好的，那比賽中會奔跑嗎?

Steve: Yeah, you run.

史蒂夫：對，會跑的。

Todd: Oh, you run!

托德：哦，會奔跑!

Steve: Yeah. It's pretty well the same game.

史蒂夫：對。其實差不多是一樣的。

Todd: OK, alright, thanks Steve.

托德：好的，謝謝你，史蒂夫。
