外教讲解地道美语 第293期:优雅而畅快的运动

A: Alright, so the first thing that you need to know about bowling 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!
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 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。
