你還有其他的愛好嗎?
You:其他愛好?我喜歡游泳。Another hobby? I like to play swimming.
David:Actually you can’t really play swimming. Usually you play soccer, play volleyball, and play basketball, but not play swimming. 實(shí)際上,游泳不能用“play”。通常說“play”足球,排球和籃球,而不說“play”游泳。
You:哦,我喜歡游泳。Oh, I like to go swimming.
David:That’s good. 很好啊。
You:When I am in the water, I feel very comfortable and relaxed. It’s common knowledge that swimming can help people to relax. It’s a kind of therapy. 我在水里的時候,感覺很舒服,很放松。大家都知道,游泳可以幫助人們緩解疲勞,還可以治病呢。
David:So maybe you mean it can help people feel more relaxed. Do you have other hobbies that are not sports?
你是說游泳可以使人們更加放松吧。除了參加體育運(yùn)動,你還喜歡什么?
You:你是說除了運(yùn)動我還有別的什么愛好?當(dāng)然有,我喜歡聽音樂和玩電腦游戲。Do I have any other hobbies that aren’t sports? Yes, I like listening to music and playing games on the computer.
David:Computer games? 電腦游戲?
You:Yeah, computer games. I like to sit behind my boyfriend and watch him play on the computer because I like to watch others play computer games. 是的,電腦游戲。我喜歡看人家玩電腦游戲,所以我喜歡坐在我男朋友后邊看他玩。
David:你對你男朋友蠻忠的嘛!
You:No, it isn’t loyalty. We just share a common interest. 這不是忠不忠的問題,我們只是有相同的興趣愛好罷了。
