隨著全球的各國的關系越來越好，從21世紀以后英語的廣泛使用，很多國內的學生會選擇去國外留學以便學習英語及不同的文化，那么在留學閑聊體育該如何表達?以下是小編給大家整理的英語聊天話題： 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.
在學生會酒吧
簡：嗨，伙計們。你們看起來無精打采的，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，我從學生中挑了幾個人。老師把我們打了個8比2 。
簡：但是他們都歲數大了，最起碼都三四十了!
拉里：他們是上歲數了，但是他們身體強壯!福斯特老師每天騎自行車上班，沃克老師每天午飯時間去跑步，貝克博士打壁球!而他們個個都得有四十五六了。
簡：是啊，不過還有一個原因。你們這幫人抽煙，老師們不抽。而且，我估計你們也有點兒不好意思跟他們沖撞，因為他們是你們的老師，對嗎?
塔墨爾：也許吧。但是我打賭如果在正規的足球場上，我們能讓他們忙得團團轉!你們女生搞什么體育活動嗎，艾莉森?
艾莉森：我是曲棍球校隊的。
薩拉：我打排球。我們星期六早上還打網球。
拉里：你們也跟老師對陣嗎?
艾莉森：沒有，歲數大的女人似乎不喜歡運動。我估計你們老師也無非是在毫無希望地延緩衰老。
薩拉：是這樣，或者就是硬裝年輕!
塔墨爾：無論如何，我認為組織一個小聯賽還是一個好主意。比如，按國籍劃分隊伍。
拉里：我覺得不同院系之間比賽要好一些，這樣有利于交流。
從另一張桌子傳來大聲的醉醺醺的歌聲
拉里：哦，不，橄欖球俱樂部又來狂飲了!
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，不是嗎?他們在酒吧里像流氓，但出去后卻像紳士。實際上打橄欖球的都是些中產階級子弟，不是嗎?
薩拉：對，他們怎么說來著?“足球是流氓們玩的紳士運動;橄欖球是紳士們玩的流氓運動。”我的寓友告訴我，足球在歷史上一直是無產階級的游戲。
塔墨爾：對。橄欖球是一種非常野蠻的比賽。最起碼看起來是這樣。
艾莉森：橄欖球到底是怎么回事?跟美國人玩的那種一樣嗎?
拉里：不，不一樣，只不過球的形狀相似罷了。大致說來，英式橄欖球沒有美式橄欖球那么多保護裝備，沒有頭盔和護肩等等，看起來挺瘮人的。
塔墨爾：對，英式橄欖球隊員在球場上可以發泄自己的幻想，在酒吧里像流氓一樣喝個大醉，然后星期一早上照常上班去當他們的醫生律師。
拉里：是啊，可足球運動員有那些行為的時候卻被罵作流氓!
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：我們有機會從事各項體育運動真是太好了。學校竟然還有女子橄欖球隊、足球隊和板球隊。你們知道嗎?
塔墨爾：板球都有什么規則啊?
拉里：我覺得我們根本不應該踏進那塊地方!你必須是土生土長的英國人才能理解板球。
薩拉：或者是英聯邦國家的人。而且，我聽說印度人和巴基斯坦人對板球比英國人還要著迷呢!
艾莉森：是啊，澳大利亞和南非也如此。
