今天的这段对话，在讨论运动，
 
你喜欢哪种运动？为什么不喜欢篮球和棒球
 
来听今天的讲解:
 
A: so, which sport do you prefer---basketball or baseball?
 
你喜欢哪种运动,篮球还是棒球?
 
B: to be honest, I don't really care for either one.
 
坦白说两个我都不喜欢.
 
A: I thought everyone liked basketball. Why don't you like it?
 
我觉得所有人都喜欢篮球.你为什么会不喜欢呢?
 
B: I used to play basketball when I was little, and I never scored a goal. Every time I watch a basketball game, I think about how horrible I was at it.
 
我小时候就打过篮球,但是总得不了分.每次我看篮球比赛的时候都会回想起自己当年多狼狈.

我明白了.

B: I've never really understood the game.
 
我从来就没弄懂过这种运动.
 
A: it's not that difficult. If you want to watch a game with me, I can explain the rules and the tactics while we're watching.
 
这一点都不难.如果你愿意跟我一起看场比赛,我就可以边看边向你解说比赛的战术和规则.
 
B: thanks, that'd be nice. When's the next ice hockey game on?
 
谢谢你,那可太好了.下一次冰球比赛时什么时候?
 
A: not for a while, but we could watch an old one on the internet so I can explain the game to you.
 
还得过一段时间,不过我们可以先在网上跟你看一场过去的比赛回放,解释给你听.
 
B: that's a good idea.
 
好主意.
 
A: let's watch the Canadian team. They have a good manager and a great coach.
 
咱们看加拿大的比赛吧.他们对的经理人和教练都很优秀.
