实战口语情景对话 第417期:Sumo 相扑

Yeah, hi, I wanna talk about, yeah, watching sports, like live or on TV. I mean I like to play sports more than I like to watch sports but sometimes a good game on TV or watching it live can be really good, um, you know, everybody, or many people like to watch the olympics or the world cup of soccer, I mean those kinds of sports are really, really exciting. I like to watch them too. I like to watch a good game on TV, you know, if there's lots of buildup and tension for the match, it's even better. One sport that I've been really getting into recently is Japanese Sumo wrestling, yeah, it's, you know, it's quite a spectacle. Many westerners think that it's kind of a joke, you know, a bunch of fat guys in tiny underwear, you know bashing their bodies against each other, but there's really a lot more to it than that, I mean, these guys are incredibly athletic.
大家好，我想谈谈去现场看比赛或是在电视上看体育比赛。我是说相较于观看体育比赛，我更喜欢进行体育运动，不过有时候在电视上或是去现场观看精彩的体育比赛也不错，你知道，所有人或者说大部分人喜欢看奥运会或是足球世界杯，这些体育比赛会令人非常非常兴奋。我也喜欢看这些比赛。我喜欢在电视上看精彩的比赛，如果比赛中充斥着紧张会更好。我最近喜欢的一项运动是日本相扑，你知道，比赛非常精彩。许多西方人认为那是一种玩笑，一群胖人穿着小内裤互相撞击对方的身体，但是相扑不仅仅是这样，我是说这些人是了不起的运动员。

They also are quite strong and they have a repertoire of martial arts and wrestling ability. It's pretty amazing to watch. I mean the matches are really really short so sometimes the uninitiated don't know what going on but basically the rules are stay on your feet and stay in the small circle and, you know, try to get your opponent to fall down or to go out of the circle. That's why they only take about 10 or 20 seconds to finish a match because they do everything they can, but finally, before you know it, the match is over, you know, they do wrestling throws, they do martial arts, they do all kinds of things. It's really fun, and there's the whole ritual with it as well, I mean it's pretty amazing.
他们非常强壮，而且他们拥有格斗和摔跤的全部技能。观看比赛时会感到非常惊奇。我是说这种比赛的观看时间通常很短，一般外行人不知道发生了什么，基本来说规则限定要保持站立还有脚要保持在小圆圈里，你知道，试图让你的对手倒地或是让他离开圆圈。这就是为什么他们只用10秒或是20秒就能结束比赛的原因，因为他们竭尽了所能，可是在你明白之前比赛已经结束了，你知道，他们会摔跤、格斗，他们会做各种事情。那真的很有趣，而且这项比赛也很有礼节。我是说，那太让人惊奇了。
