如何用英语谈论运动TalkAboutSports

Hi, I'm Niamh. Welcome to Oxford Online English.

嗨，我是Niamh。欢迎来到牛津大学在线英语课堂。

In this lesson, you can learn to talk about sports in English. Are you a sport fan?

在本节课程中，你可以学到如何用英语谈论运动。你是运动迷吗？

What sports do you like Playing? Sport is a common topic in English conversation, so whether you like sport or not, it's good to have something to say and be able to to ask some questions about sport.

你喜欢什么运动呢？运动是英文对话中非常常见的话题，所以无论你是否喜欢运动，有关于运动的话可以谈论、有关于运动的问题可以问，总归是很好的。

First question: do you like sport? Think about how you could answer.

第一个问题：你喜欢运功吗？想想你会如何作答。

You could say something like: I've always been really sporty.

你可能会这样说：我超级热爱运动。

I enjoy some sports, though I'm not a fanatic. I'm not that into sport, to be honest.

我喜欢运动，虽然没那么狂热。讲真，我并不是很喜欢运动。

Do you know what the words sporty and fanatic mean? Sporty describes someone who's really interested in sport, and who often plays sport.

你知道 sporty 和 fanatic 是什么意思吗？Sporty指的是非常喜欢运动、也经常运动的人。

A fanatic literally means someone who only cares about one thing. You can use it with an indirect meaning to describe someone who's really interested in something.

Fanatic字面上的意思是只非常关心某个东西的人。你可以用它的间接含义，来形容对某个事情特别感兴趣的人。

So if you say, I enjoy some sports, though I'm not a fanatic, you mean that you like sport, but it's not the most important thing for you. Okay, you have three sentences.

所以如果你说，我喜欢某些运动，尽管并不是狂热爱好者的时候，你的意思是你喜欢运动，但是运动于你而言并不是最重要的事情。好的，你现在有三个句子。

Which is closest to your opinion? These are good sentences to start talking, but remember you should always add more detail if possible!

哪个和你的意见最接近呢？这是开好的句子来开始谈论，但是要记住，如果可以的话，要多加上一点细节！

Let's add some reasons or details to the three sentences you saw: I've always been really sporty.

让我们给你看到的三个句子加上一些原因或者细节吧。我一直非常热爱运动。

I loved sport when I was a kid, and I still play most weeks. I enjoy some sports, though I'm not a fanatic.

我是个孩子的时候就很喜欢运动，现在每周基本还是要运动。我喜欢运动，尽管并不是很狂热。

Playing football or something like that can be fun, but I don't want to take it too seriously. I'm not that into sport, to be honest.

踢踢足球还挺好玩的，但是我不想把它搞得太严肃。讲真，我不是很喜欢运动。

I'm not very athletic and I find watching sport quite boring. These are already much better.

我不是运动型的人，而且我觉得看体育的东西很无聊。这些句子好多了。

If you can add reasons or details when you speak, your speaking will sound better, too! Let's look at some useful words here:

如果你说话的时候能够加上一点原因或者细节，你的谈话也会听起来更好的！让我们看看一些有用的单词：

Athletic describes someone who's in good shape and who enjoys exercise and sport. If you say I'm not very athletic you mean that you aren't very good at sport, and probably you don't really enjoy it, either.

Athletic是用来形容那些身材很好，很喜欢锻炼和运动的人。如果你说我不是运动型的人的话，那也就是说，你不是很擅长运动，可能也不喜欢。

Another very useful phrase is I find… , as in I find watching sport quite boring. This is a very good way to give your opinion about something.

另一个非常有用的句子是我觉得...，比如：我觉得看体育的东西很无聊。这是一种很好的呈现你对某个事物观点的方式。

For example: I find watching snooker weirdly fascinating.

比如说：我觉得观看斯诺克超级好玩。

I find swimming very relaxing. I found volleyball much more difficult to play than I was expecting.

我觉得游泳非常令人放松。我觉得排球比我想象中更难打。

So, what about you? Do you like sport?

那你怎么觉得呢？你喜欢运动吗？

Pause the video and make at least two sentences. Remember to add reasons and details.

暂停视频，自己造至少两个句子。记住要加上原因和细节。

Okay? Next, we're going to look at how to talk about different kinds of sport in more detail.

好吗？接下来，我们要看一下如何详细地谈论不同种类的运动。

How many team sports can you name in English? What did you think of?

你能用英语说出几种团队运动？你想到了什么呢？

Maybe you thought of team sports like football, basketball, hockey, volleyball or cricket. Do you play any team sports?

可能你想到了足球、篮球、曲棍球、排球或者板球这些团队运动。你玩什么团队运动呢？

Usually with team sports, we use the verb play. You could say something like:

我们通常会用 play 这个词来形容团队运动。你可以说：

I play football. I like playing basketball.

我踢足球。我喜欢打篮球。

I really enjoy playing cricket.?But, of course, these answers are much too short and lacking in detail!

我真的喜欢打板球。但是，当然了，这些答案太短了，而且缺乏细节！

So, think about these questions: where do you play, how often and who with? By answering these simple questions, you can make your answer much more detailed and interesting, like this:

所以，想想这些问题：你在哪里玩，多久玩一次以及和谁一起玩？通过回答这些问题，你可以让你的答案更加详细、更加有趣，就像：

I play 5-a-side football with some friends every Sunday. We rent a sports hall and play a 60-minute match.

我每周日和一些朋友玩五对五足球。我们租了一个体育馆，打六十分钟的比赛。

Or, I like playing basketball. I play for a local team.

或者，我喜欢打篮球。我在当地的一个队里打篮球。

We train three times a week and have matches once or twice a week, sometimes in our town, and sometimes in other cities. Do you get the idea?

我们每周训练三次，每周会有一两次比赛，有时候在我们自己的城镇，有的时候在其他的城市。你懂了吗？

Let's do one more example, just to make sure: I really enjoy playing cricket.

以防万一，我们再来做一个练习：我非常喜欢打板球。

I joined an online group and we meet in the park once a week for a game. Different people play every week, which keeps things interesting!

我加入了一个网上小组，每周在公园里碰面打比赛。每周打的人都不一样，非常有趣！

These examples give you some useful language you can use when you speak. For example:

这些例子会给你一些你在说的时候能够用得上的有用的语言。比如说：

I play for a local team. We play a 60-minute match once a week.

我在当地的一个队伍打。我们每周打一场六十分钟的比赛。

I joined an online group. You can change these to make them true for you, like this:

我参加了一个网上小组。你可以变化一下，让它们符合你自身的情况，就像：

I play for my school team. We play a friendly match a couple of times a month.

我在校队打。我们每周打几次友谊赛。

I joined a club near my home. So, what about you?

我加入了家附近的一个俱乐部。所以，你呢？

Use the language with this section and talk about team sports you like. If you don't play team sports now, or if you don't like team sports, try to talk about a friend or relative.

使用这节课里面的语言，讨论一下你喜欢的团队运动。如果你现在并不玩什么团队运动，或者你不喜欢团队运动，试着去谈论一个朋友或者是亲戚。

Pause the video and make your answer. You can also write your answer down if you want extra practice!

暂停视频，组织一下你的答案。如果你想要额外的练习的话，你可以写下的你的答案！

How was that? Next, a question: what's the opposite of a team sport?

怎么样？接下来的问题：和团队运动相反的是什么？

There's the answer: individual sports. Can you name five different individual sports in English?

答案是：个人运动。你能用英语说五个不同的个人运动吗？

Maybe you said things like tennis, badminton, swimming, boxing, running or gymnastics. Of course, some of these can be team sports as well, like tennis or badminton.

你可能会说：网球、羽毛球、游泳、拳击、跑步或者是体操。当然了，这里面有些可以是团队运动，比如说网球或者是羽毛球。

With individual sports, you may need to use different verbs. You play tennis and play badminton, but you go swimming, go running, do boxing and do gymnastics.

你需要用不同的动词来描述个体运动。你打网球或者羽毛球，但是你去游泳、去跑步、打拳击或者是做体操。

A good general rule is: Play plus ball sports; go plus an activity ending -ing; do plus other activities.

大致的规律是这样的：Play修饰球类运动；go 后面加以ing结尾的活动；do加其他的运动。

And yes, you say do boxing even though boxing ends with -ing. Remember: it's a general rule!

是的，尽管 boxing 是以-ing结尾的，你还是要说 do 拳击。记住：这只是一个大概的规律！

It will work most of the time, but not every time. So, think about the same questions you answered in the last section.

大多数时候都是对的，但并不是每次都对。所以，想想你在上一部分回答的相同的问题。

What sports do you like doing? Where do you do them, how often, and who with?

你喜欢什么运动？你在哪里做运动，多久一次，和谁一起呢？

Look at one possible answer: I go running by myself or with my husband.

让我们看看一个答案：我自己，或者是和我丈夫一起去跑步。

I go once a week or so. I like going running in the park or just around the streets.

我一周大概去个一次。我喜欢在公园跑步，或者就在街上跑跑。

What do you think—is this a good answer? It's not bad, but it's a bit repetitive and simple.

你觉得怎么样——这是一个好的答案吗？这个答案还不错，但是有点重复，也太简单了。

Every sentence starts with the same word ('I') , which sounds unnatural. How could you improve it?

每个句子都是以相同的单词 “I” 开始，听起来并不自然。你如何改进这个句子呢？

Here's one suggestion: I like going running once a week or so, sometimes in the park or just around the streets.

这里有一个建议：我喜欢每周去跑一次步，有时在公园里，有时就沿着街跑。

Sometimes I run with my husband, or sometimes I just go by myself. What do you think?

有时我和我丈夫一起，有时候就自己去。你觉得怎么样？

Does that sound better? Hopefully, it does.

听起来好点了吗？希望是这样。

This answer uses slightly longer sentences and more varied language. This sounds more natural, is more interesting to listen to, and will also help you if you're taking an English exam such as IELTS.

这个答案句子更长，也用了更加多样化的语言。这个听起来更加自然，更加有趣。如果你在参加雅思考试这种英语考试的话，这种答案对你也有所帮助。

Let's look at another example: I do boxing at my local gym.

让我们看看另一个例子：我在附近的健身房做拳击。

I go to classes two or three times a week. I don't know the other people in the class.

我每周上两到三次课。我不认识课上的其他人。

What do you think? Could you make this answer better?

你觉得怎么样？你能让这个答案更好一点吗？

Again, it's quite repetitive, because every sentence is a simple sentence starting with 'I'. Think about how you could make this answer more natural-sounding.

这个答案也很重复，因为每句话都很简单，都是以 “I" 开头的。想想你能够如何让这个句子听起来更加自然。

Pause the video and think about your answer if you want. Any ideas?

如果你想的话，暂停视频，想想你自己的答案。有任何想法吗？

Here's one suggestion: I go to boxing classes at my local gym two or three times a week.

这里有一个建议：我一周去附近的健身房上两到三次拳击课程。

There are several other people who go to the same classes, although I don't know them well. Sound better?

有很多人和我上同一门课程，尽管我并不怎么认识他们。听起来好点了吗？

Again, you can see that using slightly longer sentences and using varied sentence structures can make your spoken English sound more natural and interesting. Okay, so now you can talk about different sports you like, and say a little about them.

你能看到使用更长的句子和不同种类的句子结构能够让你的英语口语听起来更加自然，也更加有趣。好的，现在你可以谈论你喜欢的不同运动了。

Next question: why do you like the sports you like? Why do people do sport?

下一个问题：你为什么喜欢你喜欢的运动呢？为什么人们要做运动呢？

How many different reasons can you think of? Some people do sport to socialize.

你能想到多少个不同的原因？一些人做运动是为了社交。

Others love to compete. For some people, sport is just a way to get fit and stay healthy.

其他人喜欢竞争。而对于有些人来说，运动不过是保持健康的一种方式而已。

What about you? Why do you do sport?

那你呢？你为什么喜欢运动？

Let's look at two sample answers: I play 5-a-side football with some friends every Sunday.

让我们看看两个答案范例：我每周日和一些朋友踢五对五足球。

For me, the most important thing is the social side. I don't care about the game, or who wins.

对我而言，最重要的事情是社交方面的。我不是很关心比赛本身，或者是谁赢了。

I just like having a laugh with some good friends and getting a beer afterwards. Here's another:

我只是喜欢和好朋友们说说笑笑，结束之后喝杯啤酒。这里是另一个：

I play basketball for a local team. Personally, I love the competition.

我在当地的一支队伍打篮球。对我而言，我喜欢竞争。

There's no better feeling than winning a difficult match, or beating a team who beat you last time. I know some people say that sport's about taking part, not winning, but that's not true for me.

没有什么事情比赢了一场很困难的比赛，或者是打败了上次你输给的一支队伍感觉更好了。我知道一些人说运动重在参与，不在乎输赢，但是对我而言并不是这样的。

If you don't play to win, what's the point? What do you think?

如果你不是为了赢的话，那有什么意义呢？你怎么想的？

Are these good answers? Hopefully, you can see that these are good!

这是好的答案吗？希望你能发现这些答案很好！

Talking about your personal feelings and opinions is your chance to really go into detail and use some interesting language. Let's look at some key words and phrases from the examples you've seen:

谈论你个人的感觉和意见是让你变得更加详细、使用有趣的语言的很好的机会。让我们看看这些例子中的一些关键词和短语：

For me, the most important thing is… I just like…

对我而言，最重要的事情是...我只是喜欢...

Personally, … There's no better feeling than…

个人来说，...没有什么比...感觉更好了

You can use these phrases to give your opinion about many different things. For example:

你可以用这些短语说出你自己对于很多不同事物的观点。比如说：

For me, the most important thing is just getting outdoors and being active. I just like the feeling of overcoming a challenge.

对我而言，最重要的事情是去户外运动一下。我只是喜欢战胜挑战的感觉。

Personally, I've always loved being in the water. There's no better feeling than when you're tired after a good game.

就我而言，我非常喜欢在水里的感觉。没什么比一场很棒的比赛之后，身体的疲惫感觉更好了。

What about you? Can you describe why you do sport, and why you like the sports you like?

你怎么觉得？你能描述你为什么做运动，以及你为什么喜欢你喜欢的那些运动吗？

Pause the video, and try to make two or three sentences. Use the language from this section if you can.

暂停视频，造两到三个句子。如果可以的话，用这部分你学到的语言。

Alright, so now you can say quite a lot about sport. Let's put everything together.

好的，所以现在你能就运动说很多话了。让我们把所有的东西总结一下吧。

To make a longer answer, you need to: Talk about your general attitude towards sport.

想要说出更长的答案，你需要：谈论你对于运动的大致态度。

Talk about which sports you like. Say where and how often you do sport, and who you do them with.

谈论你喜欢什么运动。说你在哪里以及多久一次做运动，以及和谁一起运动。

Talk about why you do sport. Here's one example:

谈论你为什么运动。这是一个例子：

I enjoy some sports, though I'm not a fanatic. Playing football or something like that can be fun, but I don't want to take it too seriously.

我喜欢某些运动，尽管我并不是一个狂热爱好者。踢足球还挺有趣的，但是我不想把它搞得太严肃。

I play 5-a-side football with some friends every Sunday. We rent a sports hall and play a 60-minute match.

我每周日和一些朋友踢五对五足球。我们租了一个运动馆，踢六十分钟的比赛。

For me, the most important thing is the social side. I don't really care about the game, or who wins.

对我而言，最重要的事情是社交。我不是很在乎比赛本身，或者谁赢了。

I just like having a laugh with some good friends and getting a beer afterwards. This example only uses language from the lesson.

我只是喜欢和朋友们说说笑笑，结束之后去喝杯啤酒。这个例子只是用了这节课学到的语言。

You can see how you can build an interesting, detailed answer using simple ideas. Let's do one more example, using original language and ideas:

你可以试试如何用这些简单的点子组织有趣的、详细的答案。让我们再做一个例子，使用原汁原味的语言和一些点子：

I don't really like sport that much, but fitness and staying healthy are important to me. That's why I go swimming and do some weight training regularly.

我不是很喜欢运动，但是保持健康对我而言很重要。那也是为什么我会经常去游泳，以及做一些重量训练的原因。

I mostly just exercise by myself at the sports centre. Personally, I just do it because I feel I have to.

我通常都是一个人在体育中心锻炼。于我而言，我运动的原因是因为，我觉得我得去运动。

I don't really enjoy it, although I don't mind it, either. I do like feeling healthy and fit, but exercising always feels more like work than something fun.

我不是很喜欢运动，不过我也不是很介意运动。我喜欢身体健康的感觉，但是锻炼于我而言更像是工作，而不是什么有趣的事情。

Okay, now it's your turn. Make a longer answer like the two you've just seen.

好的，现在轮到你了。仿照刚才你看到的两个答案，自己组织一个更长的答案。

Follow the same structure, and use the language from the lesson if you can. Don't forget that you can write your answer down if you want extra practice.

如果可以的话，沿用相似的结构，使用这节课学到的语言。不要忘记如果你想要额外练习的话，你可以写下你的答案。

Also, it's a good idea to practise your answer several times, until it's really fluent and comfortable. Then, if you're really serious, don't just make one answer!

对了，多次练习你的答案，直到说得很流利、很自如为止是个好主意。然后，如果你真的很认真的话，不要只组织一个答案！

Make several answers, talking about different sports. Even better, make an answer from someone else's point of view.

组织很多答案，讨论不同的运动。更好的是，从其他人的角度来组织答案。
