你喜欢什么游戏？打台球的规则是怎么样的

来听今天的讲解:

Beginner

A: what game do you like?

你喜欢什么游戏？

B: I like board games. I like chinese chess and draughts.

我喜欢棋盘游戏。我喜欢中国象棋和跳棋。

A: I’ve never played Chinese chess before, but I’ve seen old men playing it in the street. It looks complicated.

我以前从未下过中国象棋，但我见过老人在街上下棋。它看起来很复杂。

B: it’s about as complicated as chess. The basic rule and moves are simple enough, but there are many strategies that players need to learn.

这就像国际象棋一样复杂。基本规则和动作很简单，但玩家需要学习许多策略。

A: I like playing cards. I’m pretty good at poker. Do you play cards?

我喜欢打牌。我很擅长扑克。你打牌吗？

B: I’m terrible at cards and so I never play games which involve gambling, like poker. If I did, I’d lose all my money.

我打牌很烂，所以我从不玩扑克之类的赌博游戏。如果我玩了，我会输光所有的钱。

A: do you play bridge?

你玩桥牌吗？

B: yes, I do. It’s hard to find four players though, so I don’t play very often. Do you know anyone who plays? If so, we could set up a game.

是的，我知道。但是很难找到四个球员，所以我不经常打球。你认识打球的人吗？如果是的话，我们可以安排一场比赛。

A: I can play quite well. I have a friend who likes playing, but she’s not very good at it. Shall I invite her to play?

我玩得很好。我有一个朋友喜欢玩，但她不太擅长。我可以邀请她玩吗？

B: sure, I have a friend who play fairly well. We should find out when our friends are free and arrange a game.

当然，我有一个玩得不错的朋友。我们应该知道我们的朋友什么时候有空，然后安排一场比赛。

A: I’ll call my friend now. you call yours.

我现在给我的朋友打电话，你给你的。

Intermediate

A: would you like to have a game of pool?

你想玩台球吗？

B: I’ve never tried it before, but I’d like to learn. Can you show me how to play? It looks very difficult.

我以前从未尝试过，但我想学习。你能教我怎么玩吗？这看起来很难。

A: the rules are quite simple, but learning to use the cue can be a real challenge. Stand like this and hold the end of the cue in one hand. Put the other hand on the table, behind the ball you want to hit. Like this.

规则很简单，但学会使用球杆可能是一个真正的挑战。像这样站着，一只手握住球杆的末端。另一只手放在桌子上，在你想击球的球后面。像这样。

B: like this?

像这样？

A: this leg must be straight. That’s right. Put your head closer to the cue, so that you can see the exact direction that you will hit the ball in. that’s good.

这条腿必须是直的。没错。把你的头靠近球杆，这样你就能看到你击球的确切方向。这很好。

B: now, I hit the white ball onto the other balls and try to hit them into the pockets, right?

现在，我把白色的球打到其他球上，试着把它们打到口袋里，对吧？

A: yes, that’s right. You can see that there are 15 colored balls. Seven have stripes and seven have spots. The last ball is black.

是的，没错。你可以看到有15个彩色的球。7个有条纹，7个有斑点。最后一个球是黑色的。

B: we take it in turns to hit the white ball and try to hit one of our balls into the pockets, right? If I hit a stripe into a pocket first, I play strips, don’t i? we each play our balls-stripes or spots-and then we must hit the black ball into a pocket to win.

我们轮流打白球，然后试着把其中一个球打到口袋里，对吧？如果我先把条纹打进口袋，我就玩条纹游戏，不是吗？我们每个人都把球打成条纹或斑点，然后我们必须把黑球打到口袋里才能获胜。

A: that’s right. You’ve obviously watched people play before. Ok. I’ll put all the balls into the correct starting positions and we can begin.

是的。很明显你以前看过别人打球。好的。我把所有的球放到正确的起始位置，我们就可以开始了。

A: the balls have numbers on them. What does that mean?

球上有数字。这是什么意思？

B: that’s just for identification. We don’t need to worry about that when we are just playing for fun.

这只是为了识别。当我们只是为了好玩而玩的时候，我们不需要担心。
