M: who is your favorite NBA star?

你最喜歡NBA里的哪位明星?

J: Kobe Bryant, of course.

當(dāng)然是科比啦.

M: Kobe? I know him, the key guy of the Lakers, a heck of a NBA player. He is on fire when he breaks through enermy defense.

科比啊,我知道.就是湖人隊(duì)那個(gè)領(lǐng)軍人物,NBA球員中的極品.他突破對(duì)手的防守時(shí),樣子酷極了,像一團(tuán)火焰似的。

J: He is competent both in driving the lane and shooting jumpers, but what really makes him formidable is his ability to switch up and dribble with his left hand.

他不管是上籃還是跳投都很準(zhǔn),里外開(kāi)花.但是最可怕的是,他能夠換手,用左手運(yùn)球。

M: Maybe he is not good ay rebounding?

也許他不太擅長(zhǎng)搶籃板?

J: indeed, no man can be perfect. He is just so-so in crashing the boards. Usually he plays shooting guard. Rebounding might not be his strong suit.

是的,金無(wú)足赤人無(wú)完人嘛.沖搶籃板,他實(shí)力一般.通常他做的是得分后衛(wèi),籃板不是他的強(qiáng)項(xiàng)。

M: Kobe came to Beijing during this summer's Olymics. Did you go to the match between China and USA?

今年夏天奧運(yùn)會(huì)時(shí),他來(lái)了北京.你去看了中國(guó)隊(duì)與夢(mèng)八的比賽沒(méi)有?

J: who wouldn't! My friend Lee went so far as to get an autograph from him.

那肯定去啦!我的朋友,李,還弄到一個(gè)簽名呢。

M: well then, what are your spoils?

那你的戰(zhàn)利品呢?

J: well, nothing more than a jumble of photographs.

我嘛,也就是一大堆照片。

M: I don't know why people are just mad about David Beckham. Is there really anything so fascinating with him?

我真搞不懂,為什么人們那樣癡迷于大衛(wèi)貝克漢姆.他這人有什么神秘之處嗎?

J: He appeals to the fans thanks to two things: his bending kicks and his good looks.

我想,球迷們喜歡他的兩個(gè)地方:一是他踢出的香蕉球,另一個(gè)是他長(zhǎng)得很帥。

M: you mean he plays well? Yeah, he often scores by free kicks in crucial games. But a football match is by no means merely a show of taking free kicks.

你是說(shuō)他踢得好?是的,他經(jīng)常在重要比賽中主罰任意球得分.但是足球賽可不僅僅是秀一秀誰(shuí)的任意球踢得好啊。

J: Certainly not. What really counts is to play as a team, passing the ball amongst each other, dodging defenders. Free kicks are a result of all the teammates' collective efforts.However, a few free kicks often make everything different, especially scoring one such goal in the nick of time.

當(dāng)然不是啦.真正重要的是團(tuán)隊(duì)協(xié)作,互相傳球以及撕開(kāi)對(duì)方的防線.任意球也是全隊(duì)上下一起努力的結(jié)果.但是來(lái)幾個(gè)任意球,場(chǎng)上局面就很可能會(huì)變化很大,尤其是在比賽最后幾分鐘的進(jìn)球。

M: In the case,maybe facial charm should be his leading card. After all,the majority of his fans are girls.

這么說(shuō)來(lái),他的王牌就要數(shù)他那張富有魅力的臉了.畢竟,他的粉絲中女孩子真是不少。

J: yes, his nice looks are manly,with a straight nose and infinite eyes. As a man of medium height in the West,he keeps a powerful but elegant figure,looking neither lanky nor stout.

對(duì)!那張散發(fā)著男人味的臉,鼻梁筆直,目光深邃.另外,他的身高在西方人中算是中等,卻有著一副不胖不瘦,強(qiáng)有力,氣質(zhì)高雅的好身材。

M: and he is English!He makes a model gentleman when he puts on a black suit and speaks with a typical British accent.

而且,他是英國(guó)人!他身穿黑大衣,一口英國(guó)腔,一看就是個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的紳士。
