談?wù)勗谛挛魈m長(zhǎng)大是什么感受

今天的這段對(duì)話，在討論新西蘭，
 
談?wù)勗谛挛魈m長(zhǎng)大是什么感受
 
來(lái)聽今天的講解:
 
A: So Kate, can you talk about growing up in New Zealand, what it's like?
 
凱特，你能談?wù)勗谛挛魈m長(zhǎng)大是什么感受嗎？
 
B: Growing up in New Zealand is very free. Kids have a lot more freedom that kids in other countries: we can.. obviously we go to school from 5 years and until 16 years old you must go to school, but when we come home from school there's our parents there. They're very loving and caring, in general that is. And we have a lot of lawns, a lot of scenery, landscapes that we can run around on.
 
在新西蘭長(zhǎng)大感覺(jué)很自由。相比其他國(guó)家的孩子，新西蘭的小孩有更多的自由：我們可以……當(dāng)然我們?cè)?歲到16歲必須要去學(xué)校上學(xué)，不過(guò)我們從學(xué)?；氐郊业臅r(shí)候，父母會(huì)在家里等我們?；緛?lái)說(shuō)父母都很關(guān)愛孩子。新西蘭有很多草坪，很多美景，我們可以四處玩耍。
 
A: What kind of things did you do when you were little, like games and sports?
 
你小的時(shí)候都做什么事情，比如玩游戲還是進(jìn)行體育運(yùn)動(dòng)？
 
B: Sports.
 
運(yùn)動(dòng)。
 
A: Oh sports, what sports?
 
哦，運(yùn)動(dòng)，什么運(yùn)動(dòng)呢？
 
B: I started off with ballet and I got really bored with ballet. I went to gymnastics and that was my main sport when I was growing up.
 
我開始學(xué)了芭蕾，不過(guò)后來(lái)我厭倦了芭蕾。所以我就練了體操，那是我成長(zhǎng)過(guò)程中主要進(jìn)行的體育運(yùn)動(dòng)。
 
A: Oh wow you were a gymnast? What events did you do?
 
哦哇，原來(lái)你是體操運(yùn)動(dòng)員?。磕銋⒓恿耸裁促愂?？
 
B: Events? Well you have levels: competition levels, so you start from level 3 and I went up to level 7 and next level would have been very competitive, it's called 'junior elite'. Had I continued I would have probably stopped school and concentrated on gymnastics only.
 
賽事？其實(shí)體操是有級(jí)別的：競(jìng)爭(zhēng)級(jí)別，從級(jí)別三開始，我后來(lái)達(dá)到了級(jí)別七，下一個(gè)級(jí)別稱為“優(yōu)秀青年”，更具競(jìng)爭(zhēng)性。如果我要繼續(xù)練，那我就必須停止學(xué)業(yè)，專心練體操。
 
A: When you were younger was your dream to go to the Olympics?
 
你小的時(shí)候有沒(méi)有夢(mèng)想過(guò)參加奧運(yùn)會(huì)？
 
B: Yes definitely.
 
當(dāng)然夢(mèng)想過(guò)了。
 
A: Oh ok. So do you ever — because you're still very young — do you ever practise gymnastics still?
 
好。你現(xiàn)在還很年輕，你還有在練體操嗎？
 
B: Yes I do actually. At the university that I go to I joined the club which is not gym but it's kind of dance and I can still do some of the stuff I used to be able to do.
 
有，我還在練。上大學(xué)時(shí)我參加了一個(gè)俱樂(lè)部，雖然不是體操俱樂(lè)部，不過(guò)是種舞蹈俱樂(lè)部，所以我還可以做些之前做的事情。
 
A: As you get older have you ever thought about becoming a coach?
 
隨著年齡的增長(zhǎng)，你有沒(méi)有想過(guò)成為教練？
 
B: Yes, I did think about it but it's not a reality any more. I've forgotten so many things already. Just teaching for fun.
 
有，我的確想過(guò)，不過(guò)那不會(huì)成為現(xiàn)實(shí)。因?yàn)槲乙呀?jīng)忘了太多的事情，教學(xué)只是為了樂(lè)趣。
