隨著全球的各國(guó)的關(guān)系越來(lái)越好，從21世紀(jì)以后英語(yǔ)的廣泛使用，很多國(guó)內(nèi)的學(xué)生會(huì)選擇去國(guó)外留學(xué)以便學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)及不同的文化，那么在留學(xué)閑聊體育該如何表達(dá)?以下是小編給大家整理的英語(yǔ)聊天話題： 閑聊體育，希望可以幫到大家
In the Uni Bar
Jane: Hi guys… you look tired… what have you been doing?
Tamer: We’ve been playing five-a-side with the lecturers down in the gym. Mr. Foster got a team together from the staff, and I got some students together. The teachers beat us 8: 2.
Jane: But they are all old… they must be in their 30s and 40s!
Larry: They are, but they are fit! That Mr. Foster cycles to work every day… and Mr. Walker goes running every lunchtime… and that Dr. Baker plays squash, and they both must be in their mid-forties!
Jane: Yes, but there’s another thing…. you guys smoke, and the lecturers don’t. And I think maybe you’re a bit scared to tackle them hard as well because they are your lecturers… am I right?
Tamer: Maybe, but I bet on a proper football field we’d run rings round them! Do you girls play any sports, Alison?
Alison: Well, I’m in the uni hockey team actually.
Sarah: Yeah… and I play volleyball. We play tennis on Saturday mornings as well.
Larry: So, do you play against the teachers as well?
Alison: No. It doesn’t seem to be what older women want to do. I think your teachers are just trying desperately to stave off old age!
Sarah: That, or pretend they are still young!
Tamer: Anyway, I think it would be a good idea to organise a mini-league. You know, different national groups.
Larry: I think different departments would be better. It would be really good for bonding.
Loud Drunken Singing from Another Table
Larry: Oh no… it’s the rugby club having another piss-up!
Sarah: Yeah… they’re always getting drunk and singing rude songs and stuff.
Tamer: Well… it’s all part of the tradition, isn’t it… they behave like hooligans in the bar, but they’re supposed to be gentlemen outside… I mean, it’s mostly middle-class students who play rugby, isn’t it?
Sarah: Yeah… what is it they say? “Soccer is a game for gentlemen, played by hooligans, and rugby is a game for hooligans played by gentlemen.” My flatmate told me that football is a traditionally working-class game.
Tamer: Yes. Rugby is a really rough game. It looks it anyway.
Alison: What is rugby, anyway? Is it like what they play in America?
Larry: No, no… it’s only the ball that’s the same shape… basically, they have no protection like they do in American football… no helmets and padding and stuff… it looks really scary.
Tamer: Yeah… rugby players get to act out their violent fantasies on the rugby field, get drunk and behave like hooligans in the bar and then go to work as doctors and lawyers on Monday morning.
Larry: Yes… whereas when football players do that they call them hooligans!
Alison: But I guess it’s good… I mean, at least it controls their aggression.
Sarah: It’s great… all the opportunities we have to play sports here. I mean, they even have women’s rugby, football and cricket teams… did you know that?
Tamer: What are the rules of cricket, by the way?
Larry: I don’t think we should even go there! You have to be English, born-and-bred to understand them.
Sarah: Or from the Commonwealth countries. Also, I’ve heard that in India and Pakistan they are even madder about cricket than the English!
Alison: Yeah… and in Australia and South Africa too.
在學(xué)生會(huì)酒吧
簡(jiǎn)：嗨，伙計(jì)們。你們看起來(lái)無(wú)精打采的，你們干什么了?
塔墨爾：我們跟一幫老師在體育館里踢5人足球。福斯特老師從教職工中撮合了一支球隊(duì)，我從學(xué)生中挑了幾個(gè)人。老師把我們打了個(gè)8比2 。
簡(jiǎn)：但是他們都?xì)q數(shù)大了，最起碼都三四十了!
拉里：他們是上歲數(shù)了，但是他們身體強(qiáng)壯!福斯特老師每天騎自行車上班，沃克老師每天午飯時(shí)間去跑步，貝克博士打壁球!而他們個(gè)個(gè)都得有四十五六了。
簡(jiǎn)：是啊，不過(guò)還有一個(gè)原因。你們這幫人抽煙，老師們不抽。而且，我估計(jì)你們也有點(diǎn)兒不好意思跟他們沖撞，因?yàn)樗麄兪悄銈兊睦蠋煟瑢?duì)嗎?
塔墨爾：也許吧。但是我打賭如果在正規(guī)的足球場(chǎng)上，我們能讓他們忙得團(tuán)團(tuán)轉(zhuǎn)!你們女生搞什么體育活動(dòng)嗎，艾莉森?
艾莉森：我是曲棍球校隊(duì)的。
薩拉：我打排球。我們星期六早上還打網(wǎng)球。
拉里：你們也跟老師對(duì)陣嗎?
艾莉森：沒(méi)有，歲數(shù)大的女人似乎不喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng)。我估計(jì)你們老師也無(wú)非是在毫無(wú)希望地延緩衰老。
薩拉：是這樣，或者就是硬裝年輕!
塔墨爾：無(wú)論如何，我認(rèn)為組織一個(gè)小聯(lián)賽還是一個(gè)好主意。比如，按國(guó)籍劃分隊(duì)伍。
拉里：我覺(jué)得不同院系之間比賽要好一些，這樣有利于交流。
從另一張桌子傳來(lái)大聲的醉醺醺的歌聲
拉里：哦，不，橄欖球俱樂(lè)部又來(lái)狂飲了!
薩拉：是啊，他們總是酩酊大醉而且唱些粗俗的歌曲什么的。
塔墨爾：有什么辦法呢?這是傳統(tǒng)，不是嗎?他們?cè)诰瓢衫锵窳髅ィ鋈ズ髤s像紳士。實(shí)際上打橄欖球的都是些中產(chǎn)階級(jí)子弟，不是嗎?
薩拉：對(duì)，他們?cè)趺凑f(shuō)來(lái)著?“足球是流氓們玩的紳士運(yùn)動(dòng);橄欖球是紳士們玩的流氓運(yùn)動(dòng)。”我的寓友告訴我，足球在歷史上一直是無(wú)產(chǎn)階級(jí)的游戲。
塔墨爾：對(duì)。橄欖球是一種非常野蠻的比賽。最起碼看起來(lái)是這樣。
艾莉森：橄欖球到底是怎么回事?跟美國(guó)人玩的那種一樣嗎?
拉里：不，不一樣，只不過(guò)球的形狀相似罷了。大致說(shuō)來(lái)，英式橄欖球沒(méi)有美式橄欖球那么多保護(hù)裝備，沒(méi)有頭盔和護(hù)肩等等，看起來(lái)挺瘮人的。
塔墨爾：對(duì)，英式橄欖球隊(duì)員在球場(chǎng)上可以發(fā)泄自己的幻想，在酒吧里像流氓一樣喝個(gè)大醉，然后星期一早上照常上班去當(dāng)他們的醫(yī)生律師。
拉里：是啊，可足球運(yùn)動(dòng)員有那些行為的時(shí)候卻被罵作流氓!
艾莉森：但是我想這也有好處，起碼橄欖球讓他們的侵略性得以控制。
薩拉：我們有機(jī)會(huì)從事各項(xiàng)體育運(yùn)動(dòng)真是太好了。學(xué)校竟然還有女子橄欖球隊(duì)、足球隊(duì)和板球隊(duì)。你們知道嗎?
塔墨爾：板球都有什么規(guī)則啊?
拉里：我覺(jué)得我們根本不應(yīng)該踏進(jìn)那塊地方!你必須是土生土長(zhǎng)的英國(guó)人才能理解板球。
薩拉：或者是英聯(lián)邦國(guó)家的人。而且，我聽(tīng)說(shuō)印度人和巴基斯坦人對(duì)板球比英國(guó)人還要著迷呢!
艾莉森：是啊，澳大利亞和南非也如此。
