Y: Hi, this is Yang Chen.
P: And I'm Patrick.
(Sound of arrow flying through the air and "plunking" into target)
Y: 今天我要學(xué)射箭archery。
P: Archery A-R-C-H-E-R-Y is the practice of using a bow to shoot arrows. It's also an Olympic sport. Say, Yang Chen, do you have your bow and arrows ready?
Y: Yes, I do, Patrick. Here is my bow, 我的弓; And here are my arrows, 我的箭。Patrick, 你看我這樣拿著弓箭,象不象Robin Hood俠盜羅賓漢!
P: Wow, you look exactly like Robin Hood! Are you ready to take aim and shoot, Sir Robin?
Y: I sure am. 可是那個(gè)target目標(biāo)好像太遠(yuǎn)了,能不能讓我靠近點(diǎn)兒, Patrick.
P: The target in Olympic archery is 30 to 90 meters away. You are trying to shoot the arrow as close to the center of the target as possible.
Y: Target有10個(gè)圈兒, 中間是鮮黃色的。 I am aiming for the yellow rings, I guess.
P: And the good news is you have more than one chance, Yang Chen. You can shoot three arrows.
Y: 我可以射三支箭。
P: And you have 40 seconds to shoot each arrow.
Y: 射一支箭的時(shí)間是40秒。Okay, here is my first shot! (Sound of pulling back bow, shooting arrow)
P: Hmm, Uh, well, It was a good try, Yang Chen.
Try again, Yang Chen. Maybe this time you can hit the bull's eye.
Y: The "bull's eye"不是牛眼睛,是靶心的意思。 I'll try again, Patrick. Maybe I'll get lucky. 這次一定射中 bull's eye。
P: Okay, Yang Chen, you can do it! (Shooting sound again)
Y: Yea! I did it! I did it! I hit the Bull's eye! 正中靶心!
P: No, Yang Chen... you didn't even hit the target.
Y: Let me try again.
P: Oh, Yang Chen, I think you killed a bird.
