实战口语情景对话：冬季运动 Winter Sports

Todd: So, Christian, 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 cruise 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 skier? 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 combination 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。
