M: who is your favorite NBA star?

你最喜歡NBA里的哪位明星?

J: Kobe Bryant, of course.

當然是科比啦.

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.就是湖人隊那個領(lǐng)軍人物,NBA球員中的極品.他突破對手的防守時,樣子酷極了,像一團火焰似的。

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,里外開花.但是最可怕的是,他能夠換手,用左手運球。

M: Maybe he is not good ay rebounding?

也許他不太擅長搶籃板?

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,金無足赤人無完人嘛.沖搶籃板,他實力一般.通常他做的是得分后衛(wèi),籃板不是他的強項。

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

今年夏天奧運會時,他來了北京.你去看了中國隊與夢八的比賽沒有?

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地方:一是他踢出的香蕉球,另一個是他長得很帥。

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.

當然不是啦.真正重要的是團隊協(xié)作,互相傳球以及撕開對方的防線.任意球也是全隊上下一起努力的結(jié)果.但是來幾個任意球,場上局面就很可能會變化很大,尤其是在比賽最后幾分鐘的進球。

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

這么說來,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!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,他是英國人!他身穿黑大衣,一口英國腔,一看就是個標準的紳士。
