實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語情景對(duì)話：Climbing 攀巖

Todd: So, Shona, you are quite fit. You like to run. Do you like to do anything else?

托德：夏娜，你非常健康。你喜歡跑步。你還喜歡做別的運(yùn)動(dòng)嗎?

Shona: Yeah, actually. I like quite a lot of different sports. I like to play tennis. That is like something that I like to participate in with someone else, but also I'm into more solitary sports, like I like doing yoga in the mornings. I like to do a bit of Yoga. I also like to use the gym and I also like to do climb, wall-climb, or sometimes I'm an odd jock of climbing. It has to be with walls.

夏娜：對(duì)。我喜歡很多種運(yùn)動(dòng)。我喜歡網(wǎng)球。我喜歡和別人協(xié)作進(jìn)行的運(yùn)動(dòng)，我也喜歡一個(gè)人的運(yùn)動(dòng)，我喜歡在早上做瑜伽。我很喜歡瑜伽這種運(yùn)動(dòng)。另外我也喜歡去健身房鍛煉，還喜歡攀巖，我是攀巖愛好者。這種運(yùn)動(dòng)需要有面墻。

Todd: Cool, so actually let's talk about climbing. You climb at the gym?

托德：真酷，那我們來聊聊攀巖吧。你在健身房攀巖嗎?

Shona: No, my gym doesn't have a climbing wall, but there's somewhere in the city I'm from that has like a huge climbing center and you can go there and there's like all different types of walls, different abilities, and there's also a big rotating wall as well for when you are really good, and you can use that one and like climb up there.

夏娜：不是，我去的那家健身房沒有攀巖墻，我的家鄉(xiāng)城市有一家非常大的攀巖中心，可以去那里進(jìn)行攀巖運(yùn)動(dòng)，那里有各種各樣的攀巖墻，可以滿足各種能力的人的需求，那里還有一面旋轉(zhuǎn)墻，如果你的攀巖能力非常強(qiáng)，你就可以嘗試攀爬那面墻。

Todd: Do you ever actually take this out and practice on real rocks?

托德：你有在戶外那種真正的巖石上進(jìn)行過攀巖嗎?

Shona: Yeah, I have done. I have done in the past because an ex boyfriend was really intoclimbing so I went out with a few climbs with him, like as an introduction and that was pretty amazing. Like, it was completely different than climbing outdoors from it is from like inside. Like wall climbing is probably a bit easier than actually outside because, you noticed you've got more to sort of hold on to and stuff because it's built for climbing but the natural environment is harder to climb because like there's not as many crevices and stuff and you've got to spend longer to try and find them and they're not as obvious, but it's probably more enjoyable to do it outside than it is inside.

夏娜：有，我試過。我以前在戶外攀巖過，我前男友非常喜歡攀巖，我和他去戶外攀巖過幾次，他給我進(jìn)行了指導(dǎo)，那感覺太棒了。在戶外攀巖和在室內(nèi)攀巖完全不一樣。在室內(nèi)攀爬攀巖墻比較容易，因?yàn)榕蕩r墻是專為攀巖運(yùn)動(dòng)設(shè)計(jì)的，所以上面有很多可以借助的支點(diǎn)，在自然環(huán)境中攀巖要更難一些，因?yàn)椴]有太多可以當(dāng)作支點(diǎn)的縫隙，而且也不是那么明顯，所以要花費(fèi)很長時(shí)間去尋找支點(diǎn)，不過與室內(nèi)相比，戶外攀巖令人更愉快。

Todd: Right, so when you climb outside do you have a lot of fear that you're going to fall?

托德：好，你在戶外攀巖時(shí)有沒有很擔(dān)心自己會(huì)掉下去?

Shona: Not really. I guess it depends on who you are like climbing with. Like if you are with someone that you completely trust, then that's really important but I guess if you're with like a stranger you didn't know that well then you might be a little bit worried about like dropping or whatever, but I'd say I'm probably more fearful of dropping indoors because it's just myself than I would be outdoors cause I'd be with someone else.

夏娜：其實(shí)沒有。我想這要取決于你和誰一起攀巖。如果你和完全值得信任的人一起攀巖，那就不用擔(dān)心，這點(diǎn)很重要，如果要是和陌生人或者是不太熟的人一起攀巖，那可能就會(huì)有點(diǎn)擔(dān)心會(huì)掉下去之類的，不過對(duì)我來說，我在室內(nèi)攀巖的時(shí)候更擔(dān)心會(huì)掉下去，因?yàn)槭覂?nèi)通常我是一個(gè)人去攀巖，可是在戶外有人陪我一起攀巖。

Todd: Oh, wow, that's interesting. Actually, I heard that in rock climbing it's quite unique in that actually women are better... are naturally better rock climbers than men because because they have smaller fingers and they're lighter. Is that true?

托德：哇哦，這很有趣。我聽說攀巖是種很獨(dú)特的運(yùn)動(dòng)，女性比男性更擅長攀巖，因?yàn)榕缘氖种副容^小而且體重較輕。是這樣嗎?

Shona: I've heard that was well. Yeah. I've heard that like women are a bit better at rock climbing. I don't really know how true it is, cause like most of the really good climbers I've met are male, but yeah, I guess it's like naturally they're built more for climbing, like it is a bit easier just cause of like the woman's body in comparison to a man.

夏娜：我也聽過這種說法。我也聽說女性更擅長攀巖。不過我不知道這種說法是不是真的，因?yàn)槲艺J(rèn)識(shí)的優(yōu)秀攀巖選手中男性居多，我想可能是相較于男性，從生理結(jié)構(gòu)上來說女性更適合攀巖這種運(yùn)動(dòng)，在攀巖時(shí)更容易一些。

Todd: Right. Yeah, it seems to make perfect sense. And just lastly, when was the last time you went rock climbing?

托德：好。聽起來這話很有道理。你上次攀巖是什么時(shí)候?

Shona: It was probably about three or four months ago and it was.. Well, actually, the last time I was climbing outdoors was probably about six months ago, but yeah, indoors, it was a bit sooner than that.

夏娜：大概是三四個(gè)月以前。上次我在戶外攀巖大概是六個(gè)月以前的事了，不過室內(nèi)的話時(shí)間更短些。

Todd: So rock climbing is something you'd recommend for everybody?

托德：攀巖是你會(huì)向所有人推薦的運(yùn)動(dòng)嗎?

Shona: Oh, yeah. Absolutely. I think it's like so challenging that you can get so much out of it because you progress. You get stronger so quickly. Like you really notice a change in your muscles and everything and it's like, it's just such a great feeling to reach the top. You know that's the most exciting part is when you like reach where you're trying to go and you just like, you feel like you've really accomplished something. I think it's really fun.

夏娜：對(duì)。當(dāng)然是。我認(rèn)為攀巖是種挑戰(zhàn)，你可以從攀巖的進(jìn)步中得到很多。你可以很快變得更強(qiáng)壯。進(jìn)行攀巖可以快速形成肌肉，而且攀爬到頂端的感覺非常美好。到達(dá)你一直在努力前往的那個(gè)終點(diǎn)是最激動(dòng)人心的，你會(huì)感覺你取得了一定的成就。我認(rèn)為攀巖這種運(yùn)動(dòng)真的有很大樂趣。

Todd: Well, you make it sound really fun. I wanna give it a try.

托德：好，你的描述使這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)聽上去很有趣。我也想嘗試一下。

Shona: Yeah, you should do.

夏娜：你應(yīng)該試試。
