Playing Ping-Pong (Table Tennis) 打乒乓球

1. Baby, let’s play ping-pong (table tennis)!

寶寶，咱們打乒乓球吧！

2. Equipment 設(shè)備

To play ping-pong, we need a ping-pong ball, paddles and a table. Let’s go downstairs to play. There is a ping-pong table in the garden.

要打乒乓球，我們需要乒乓球、拍子，和案子。咱們?nèi)窍麓虬?，花園里有一個(gè)乒乓球案子。

3. Singles / doubles 單打 / 雙打

Sweetheart, do you want to play one-on-one (singles) or doubles? How about you and I play together on one team against daddy? Everybody’s in? Awesome.

寶貝，你想玩單打還是雙打？要不咱倆一組對(duì)爸爸？大家都參加嗎？好的。

4. Paddle Grips 握拍

Before we start, let mommy show you how to grip the paddle. There are two commonly-used grip styles: the pen grip (hold), and the shakehand (hold) grip.

開始之前，媽媽先教你怎么握拍。有兩種常見(jiàn)的握拍方式：直握拍（直拍）和橫握拍（刀拍）。

5. Penhold and shakehold 直拍和刀拍

With the pen grip, you hold your paddle as if you are holding a pen. With the shakehand grip, you grip the paddle as if you are shaking hands with someone.

直握拍時(shí)，就像握筆一樣握住球拍。橫握拍就像和別人握手一樣。

6. Feeling natural 保持自然

Regardless of how you grip the paddle, its important to feel natural so that your wrist can move freely. There you go.

無(wú)論你如何握拍，重要的是保持自然，讓你的手腕可以自由活動(dòng)。對(duì)，就是這樣。

7. Flipping a coin 擲硬幣

Let’s flip a coin to decide who gets the right to choose whether to serve or receive. We choose head (tail). Oh, we won! Do you want to serve first? OK. Then daddy gets to choose which side of the table he will play on.

咱們擲硬幣決定誰(shuí)先發(fā)球吧。我們選正面（反面）。哦，咱們贏了！你想先發(fā)球？好的，那爸爸就來(lái)選在球臺(tái)的哪一側(cè)。

8. Serving the ball 發(fā)球

Let mommy show you how to serve. First, I’ll toss the ball with my non-paddle holding hand. When the ball is in the air, I will hit it with the paddle. The ball needs to hit our side of the table once, go over the net and hit the other side. Just like this.

媽媽給你演示一下如何發(fā)球。首先，我用不拿拍的手把球拋起來(lái)。球在空中的時(shí)候，用球拍擊球。球要先碰到我們這一側(cè)的球臺(tái)，然后越過(guò)網(wǎng)，再碰到另一側(cè)。就像這樣。

9. Returning the ball 接球

After we serve, daddy needs to hit and return the ball. Daddy must hit the ball after it bounces once on his side and before it bounces the second time or hits the floor.

我們發(fā)球之后，爸爸就要接球。爸爸必須要在球在他那側(cè)球臺(tái)上彈一下之后接球，但不能讓球在臺(tái)面上彈兩次，或掉到地上。

10. Scoring a point 得一分

If our serve goes into the net or flies off the table without hitting daddys side, daddy will score a point. When daddy returns the ball, if it goes into the net or doesnt hit our side of the table, we will score a point.

如果我們發(fā)球打到網(wǎng)上，或者球沒(méi)碰到爸爸那側(cè)的球臺(tái)就彈到桌子下面，爸爸就會(huì)得一分。爸爸接球的時(shí)候，如果球打到網(wǎng)上，或者沒(méi)碰到我們這一側(cè)的球臺(tái)，那我們就會(huì)得一分。

11. Forehand and backhand 正手和反手

In order to return the ball from different directions, you need to be able to play forehand and backhand shots. Forehand shot means hitting the ball on the same side of your paddle holding hand. Backhand shot means hitting the ball on the opposite side to your paddle holding hand.

為了接到來(lái)自不同方向的球，正手擊球和反手擊球都得會(huì)。正手就是從你握拍那只手的方向擊球。反手是從你握拍那只手相反的方向擊球。

12. Smashing / slaming / spiking the ball 扣球

When you master these basic skills, you can try to smash / slam / spike the ball. A smash shot means hitting the ball so quickly that daddy can’t return it. It’s probably difficult at first, but you’ll get it after some practices.

等你掌握了這些基本技術(shù)之后，你可以試試扣球了?？矍蚓褪呛芸斓膿羟?，讓爸爸無(wú)法接住。最開始可能有點(diǎn)兒難，不過(guò)多練練你就會(huì)掌握啦。

13. Now that you have learned all the techniques, are you ready to try them out? Come on. Let’s beat daddy!

你都學(xué)會(huì)這些技術(shù)了，準(zhǔn)備好了嗎，試一下？來(lái)吧，咱們來(lái)把爸爸打?。?/p>
