摩托车越野赛比赛激烈，赞助者会给业余选手提供什么

来听今天的讲解:

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

天啊！我不敢相信他们怎么能飞跃起来。

B: Isn't it wild?

狂野吧？

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

看起来好危险，一定总是出人命。

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.

事实上人很常受伤，但是没有人在职业摩托车越野赛中身亡，从来没在这种运动的历史上发生过。

A: That is surprising. It looks so dangerous.

真是让人吃惊！这看起来好危险。

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

看来的确危险，但是没有赛车危险。

A: Which one is your brother?

哪个是你哥哥？

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

他是 37 号。他几分钟后要再通过一次，他全身穿成橙色。

A: Did you ever try this?

你玩过这个吗？

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。但是我没有戴夫认真，所以戴夫成了赛车手。夏天他几乎每个星期天都去比赛。

A: Is he a professional?

他是职业的吗？

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

不是。现在这些都是业余的。大约再过一小时职业赛会开始。

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

他是业余的？那么他没有从中赚到钱。

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.

没错，职业选手才能赚钱。但是戴夫有赞助者，机车城雅马哈赞助他。

A: What does a sponsor do?

赞助者提供什么？

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.

有赞助者的选手通常从厂商那儿拿到免费的比赛装备。或是用厂商的旅行车将他们的摩托车送到赛场。戴夫开自己的旅行车，但是他从机车城那儿拿到很多免费的装备。真是不错。

A: Do women race?

有女生参赛吗？

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

当然有，但是不多。这是很艰难的运动，不过有些地方有女生比赛。看！那是戴夫。

A: I see him. Number 37.

我看到了，37 号。

B: Right.

没错。

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.

没有，那是他用来快速弯过转角的招数。

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

很高兴今天我来了，真的很好看。
