大學(xué)生的愛好

David：I’d like to ask what your friends have as hobbies.能知道你的朋友有些什么愛好嗎?

You：Some of my friends like to get physical, so they play volleyball. I have other friends who enjoy traveling. Some of them really get around. 有些人好動(dòng)，所以他們打排球。還有些朋友喜歡旅游，他們中的一些人確實(shí)去了好多地方。

David：Is playing volleyball a very popular hobby? 他們都很喜歡打籃球嗎?

You：是的，我的朋友們都很喜歡，但遺憾的是他們不和我住在同一城市。Yeah, volleyball is popular with my friends, but they don’t live in the same city as me.

David：When I visit the students in universities, I find many students like to play basketball. Maybe more boys like to play basketball and more girls like to play volleyball. 我問過許多大學(xué)生，發(fā)現(xiàn)他們都喜歡打籃球。男孩兒可能更喜歡打籃球，而女孩兒則更喜歡打排球。

You：女孩兒確實(shí)喜歡打排球。籃球比排球節(jié)奏要快，這也許就是原因吧。

David：Basketball is much rougher than volleyball. Just look at how rough the NBA is. 籃球比排球激烈得多，看看NBA就知道了。

You：Yeah, the NBA is intense. Michael Jordan is my favourite player. I like to watch him play on TV. 哦，NBA確實(shí)很激烈。喬丹是我最喜歡的運(yùn)動(dòng)員，我喜歡看有他的比賽。

David：I also find many students like to play badminton. Is badminton also very popular? From what you say, I find volleyball, basketball and badminton are all very popular.我也發(fā)現(xiàn)許多學(xué)生喜歡打羽毛球。羽毛球也很流行嗎?聽你所說，我覺得，排球，籃球和羽毛球在學(xué)生中都很流行。

You：They say volleyball is not as popular as basketball. 他們說排球沒有籃球受歡迎。

David：Maybe it is more popular for girls? 多數(shù)女孩子們更喜歡排球吧?

You：是的，你喜歡打籃球嗎?I think you are right. Do you like playing basketball?

David：No, I like to play soccer. Some people get confused with the name of this sport in English. In th US, “ ganlanqiu” is called football and “zuqiu” is called soccer. But in England, “zuqiu” is called football and “ganlanqiu” is known as “American football”. 不，我喜歡足球。一些人可能對英式和美式足球有些不解。在美國，美式橄欖球稱做football，而足球叫做soccer;但是在英國，人們稱足球?yàn)閒ootball，而稱美式橄欖球叫American football。

You：啊，原來是這樣。I see.
