實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話：Disc Golf 飛盤高爾夫

Sarah: So John, do you like to play golf?

薩拉：約翰，你喜歡打高爾夫嗎?

John: Well, no. I don't play golf very much, but I play disc golf.

約翰：不喜歡。我不太常打高爾夫，不過(guò)我玩飛盤高爾夫。

Sarah: Disc golf? What's that?

薩拉：飛盤高爾夫?那是什么?

John: Well, some people call it Frisbee golf. Basically, there are courses at parks. It's similar to golf but the courses are much smaller. You use Frisbees or a flying disc and you have to throw it. So it's different from golf. You're not aiming for a small hole but actually, you need to throw the Frisbee into a basket.

約翰：有些人稱之為飛碟高爾夫。通常公園里有球場(chǎng)。球場(chǎng)和高爾夫球的類似，不過(guò)要小很多。將飛碟或飛盤扔出去。這和高爾夫球不同。目標(biāo)不是將球打進(jìn)小洞里，而是將飛碟擲入籃子里。

Sarah: Oh, that sounds fun. Is it very easy?

薩拉：哦，聽上去很有意思。簡(jiǎn)單嗎?

John: Well, it can be easy or it can be very difficult. It depends on the course. Many different parks have different disc golf courses. And you can be an easy beginner or you can be an expert. It all depends on how much you want to get involved.

約翰：嗯，可以很簡(jiǎn)單也可以很難。這要取決于場(chǎng)地。許多公園都有飛盤高爾夫球場(chǎng)。你可以是初學(xué)者，也可能成為高手。這要取決于你的參與度。

Sarah: I see.

薩拉：我明白了。

John: My friends and I, we are beginners, so we just like to have fun. So we just do the easy courses and have a good time. I think it's relaxing.

約翰：我朋友和我，我們都是初學(xué)者，我們只想玩得開心。所以我們選擇的是簡(jiǎn)單的場(chǎng)地，我們玩得很開心。那是項(xiàng)令人放松的運(yùn)動(dòng)。

Sarah: So you only need one Frisbee?

薩拉：只需要一個(gè)飛碟嗎?

John: Well actually, it's better to have two or three. You can play with one but in fact, when you learn more about disc golf, there are different sizes and weights of the discs.

約翰：最好是準(zhǔn)備兩三個(gè)飛碟。你可以用一個(gè)飛盤玩，不過(guò)在你了解飛盤高爾夫這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)以后，你會(huì)知道飛盤有不同的大小和重量。

Sarah: Why would you want a different size disc?

薩拉：為什么大小會(huì)不同?

John: Well, it's similar to the clubs in golf. When you throw you first throw, you want it to go very far, so you should use a heavier disc. But when you're near the basket, you should make a short throw, so you want a lightweight disc.

約翰：這和高爾夫球桿類似。在第一次擲的時(shí)候，你希望飛盤飛得更遠(yuǎn)，所以你要用重一些的飛盤。而當(dāng)你非常接近籃子時(shí)，你要短距離投擲，所以要用輕一些的飛盤。

Sarah: I see. That's interesting.

薩拉：我明白了。這很有意思。

John: Yeah. So as I said, when you want to become an expert, you have to spend more money to get better equipment. It's like any sport, I guess. In fact, they have disc golf competitions now. So you can even participate in a tournament and win some prize money.

約翰：嗯。如我所說(shuō)，如果你想成為高手，那你就要多花錢買更好的裝備。我想這和其他運(yùn)動(dòng)是一樣的。實(shí)際上，現(xiàn)在有很多飛盤高爾夫比賽。你甚至可以參加錦標(biāo)賽，贏取獎(jiǎng)金。

Sarah: Did you ever compete?

薩拉：你參加過(guò)比賽嗎?

John: Oh no. I'm just a beginner. I don't think I want to be too serious about it.

約翰：沒(méi)有。我只是初學(xué)者。我并不想太認(rèn)真。

Sarah: So golf has 18 holes. How about disc golf? Does it have 18 holes, too?

薩拉：高爾夫球有18洞。那飛盤高爾夫呢?也是18洞嗎?

John: Well, not usually. Golf courses are very large, but disc golf courses are usually found in parks. So they usually have only six holes. But you can play 18 holes by doing all 6 three times each.

約翰：并不是。高爾夫球場(chǎng)非常大，不過(guò)飛盤高爾夫球場(chǎng)一般都設(shè)在公園里。所以只有6洞。不過(guò)你可以玩18洞，玩三次6洞就是18洞了。

Sarah: I see. How do you keep score?

薩拉：我知道了。怎么記分?

John: Score keeping is like real golf. So the winner should have the lowest score. Every time you throw a Frisbee or a flying disc, you have to mark one point. So if you can do a hole in one, that means you can hit the basket on your first try, then you'll only have one point. That's best.

約翰：和高爾夫比賽一樣。得分最少的是勝者。擲次飛碟或飛盤記一分。所以，如果你一球進(jìn)洞，也就是一次就擲進(jìn)籃子里，那你就只記一分。這是最棒的。

Sarah: Uh-hmm.

薩拉：嗯。

John: But I'm not that good at it. So usually, I have three or four points for each course.

約翰：不過(guò)我的水平還沒(méi)有那么好。通常我要擲三四次才能擲進(jìn)籃子里。

Sarah: I see. You said disc golf is at the park. Do you have little kids playing in the middle of the course?

薩拉：我知道了。你說(shuō)過(guò)飛盤高爾夫球場(chǎng)在公園里。那球場(chǎng)中間有小孩玩嗎?

John: Sometimes, the kids – of course, they can play wherever they want. And the courses do go though the park where kids play. So we have to be very careful, and we have to use good sportsmanship to wait for the course to be clear.

約翰：有時(shí)會(huì)有，孩子們通常想在哪里玩就在哪里玩。球場(chǎng)貫穿公園，會(huì)有孩子在那里玩。所以我們一定要非常小心，而且還要有良好的體育精神，等待球場(chǎng)歸于平靜。

Sarah: It sounds like a lot of fun.

薩拉：聽起來(lái)很好玩。

John: It is fun. Maybe you can join us next time.

約翰：是很好玩。下次你可以和我們一起玩。

Sarah: That sounds great. Thank you.

薩拉：聽起來(lái)不錯(cuò)。謝謝。
