  A: Alright, so the first thing that you need to know about bowling 1 is that you should never cross that line where the lane begins.

好的,打保龄球的第一件要做的事是不要越过这条线,这条线以外就是球的滚道了。

B: Why not?

为什么?

A: Because they polish and oil it to make the ball slide down. If you step there you will slip and fall.

因为滚道被打磨得很光滑并且有特别的油涂在上面,如果你踩在上面,你会很容易滑倒的。

A: OK,  so  I  got  my  bowling  shoes,  my  ball,  our names on the scorecard, so now, how the heck do I play this?

好的,现在我穿上了保龄鞋,拿到了我的鞋,我的名字也在分数卡上了,怎么打保龄球呢?

A: You throw the ball down the lane and try to knock down all the pins. If you do, that is called a strike. If you don't knock them all down on the first try, then you get a chance to get the spare. After ten frames, we add up the points and see who has the most.  Three hundred is a perfect score, but very hard to get.

你把球扔到滚道上,然后试着打中所有的瓶子。如果你做到了,就叫全中。如果你没有打中所有的瓶,然后还需要重打一次,也可以在第二次打中全部。十局后,我们累加分数,然后谁的分数最高。三百分是最完美的分数,但是很难达到。

B: Got it! OK, I'm gonna give it a go. Oh no! My ball went in the gutter 2!

知道啦!我要让球打到瓶。哦,不!我的球滚到沟里面去了。

A: I told you, its harder than you think. Now let a pro 3 show you how it's done.

我说过,这要比你想象中的难。就把它当成是热身球吧。

cross 横过,越过

If people could fly, they could cross deep gorges 4 and rushing rivers as easily as on smooth ground.如果人类可以飞翔,他们就可以如履平地一样的穿越深深的峡谷和湍急的河流。

slide down 下滑

The boys like to slide down banisters.男孩喜欢顺着栏杆往下滑。

knock down 推倒

See, I can even knock down walls with my kungfu.看见没,我用我的功夫把墙都撞倒了。

pin 保龄球的打倒瓶子  strike 第一次就能把瓶子打倒的状况


  保龄球的起源也许可以追溯到公元前5200年的古埃及,人们在那里发现了类似现代保龄球运动的大理石球和瓶。在13世纪的德国教会里,流行着一种“九柱球”的游戏,来检验教徒对宗教的信仰程度。直到宗教革命之后,马丁路德统一了九瓶制,成为现代保龄球运动的真正起源。如今,保龄球已经成为现代社会中的一项时尚运动,流行于欧、美、大洋洲和亚洲一些国家。 保龄球,英文名是bowling,又称地滚球,它是在木板道上滚球击柱的一种室内运动。
