Y: Hi, this is Yang Chen.


P: And I'm Patrick. So, today Yang Chen we are going to be introducing everyone to this sport...


(Sound effect of rowing)


P: It's called crew. C-R-E-W.


Y: That's right. Crew也叫rowing,就是划艇运动。


P: Crew or rowing is a sport with an ancient history, but the first races took place in England.


(God Save the Queen music).


Y: 最早的crew比赛开始于英国,在牛津这些英国大学非常流行。不过划艇运动也是美国大学校园历史最悠久的一项体育活动。


P: Crew involves teams of 2, 4 or 8 rowers in a row boat called a shell.


Y: 划艇用的船叫做shell。这是一项集体运动,有两人,也有四人或八人一组的。


P: A shell can be very long. A shell for a team of eight rowers is about 60 feet long!


Y: Whoa, 60 feet,那就等于是18米多!


P: To row a boat that long requires a lot of upper body strength and endurance 1.


Y: Upper body strength 上半身要有力气,尤其是臂力。Look at my muscles, Patrick.


P: Very impressive 2. I think you should take up the sport of crew or rowing and maybe someday you can participate in the Olympic games.


Y: Nah. 我虽然有upper body strength,但是endurance耐力不够。Hmm, I could use some exercise.


P: What do you say we head to the gym and do some serious rowing?


Y: Let's go!
