Hi, Im Niamh. Welcome to Oxford Online English.

嗨，我是Niamh。歡迎來(lái)到牛津大學(xué)在線(xiàn)英語(yǔ)課堂。

In this lesson, you can learn to talk about sports in English. Are you a sport fan?

在本節(jié)課程中，你可以學(xué)到如何用英語(yǔ)談?wù)撨\(yùn)動(dòng)。你是運(yùn)動(dòng)迷嗎？

What sports do you like playing? Sport is a common topic in English conversation, so whether you like sport or not, its good to have something to say and be able to to ask some questions about sport.

你喜歡什么運(yùn)動(dòng)呢？運(yùn)動(dòng)是英文對(duì)話(huà)中非常常見(jiàn)的話(huà)題，所以無(wú)論你是否喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng)，有關(guān)于運(yùn)動(dòng)的話(huà)可以談?wù)?、有關(guān)于運(yùn)動(dòng)的問(wèn)題可以問(wèn)，總歸是很好的。

First question: do you like sport? Think about how you could answer.

第一個(gè)問(wèn)題：你喜歡運(yùn)功嗎？想想你會(huì)如何作答。

You could say something like: Ive always been really sporty.

你可能會(huì)這樣說(shuō)：我超級(jí)熱愛(ài)運(yùn)動(dòng)。

I enjoy some sports, though Im not a fanatic. Im not that into sport, to be honest.

我喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng)，雖然沒(méi)那么狂熱。講真，我并不是很喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng)。

Do you know what the words sporty and fanatic mean? Sporty describes someone whos really interested in sport, and who often plays sport.

你知道 sporty 和 fanatic 是什么意思嗎？Sporty指的是非常喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng)、也經(jīng)常運(yùn)動(dòng)的人。

A fanatic literally means someone who only cares about one thing. You can use it with an indirect meaning to describe someone whos really interested in something.

Fanatic字面上的意思是只非常關(guān)心某個(gè)東西的人。你可以用它的間接含義，來(lái)形容對(duì)某個(gè)事情特別感興趣的人。

So if you say, I enjoy some sports, though Im not a fanatic, you mean that you like sport, but its not the most important thing for you. Okay, you have three sentences.

所以如果你說(shuō)，我喜歡某些運(yùn)動(dòng)，盡管并不是狂熱愛(ài)好者的時(shí)候，你的意思是你喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng)，但是運(yùn)動(dòng)于你而言并不是最重要的事情。好的，你現(xiàn)在有三個(gè)句子。

Which is closest to your opinion? These are good sentences to start talking, but remember you should always add more detail if possible!

哪個(gè)和你的意見(jiàn)最接近呢？這是開(kāi)好的句子來(lái)開(kāi)始談?wù)?，但是要記住，如果可以的?huà)，要多加上一點(diǎn)細(xì)節(jié)！

Lets add some reasons or details to the three sentences you saw: Ive always been really sporty.

讓我們給你看到的三個(gè)句子加上一些原因或者細(xì)節(jié)吧。我一直非常熱愛(ài)運(yùn)動(dòng)。

I loved sport when I was a kid, and I still play most weeks. I enjoy some sports, though Im not a fanatic.

我是個(gè)孩子的時(shí)候就很喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng)，現(xiàn)在每周基本還是要運(yùn)動(dòng)。我喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng)，盡管并不是很狂熱。

Playing football or something like that can be fun, but I dont want to take it too seriously. Im not that into sport, to be honest.

踢踢足球還挺好玩的，但是我不想把它搞得太嚴(yán)肅。講真，我不是很喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng)。

Im not very athletic and I find watching sport quite boring. These are already much better.

我不是運(yùn)動(dòng)型的人，而且我覺(jué)得看體育的東西很無(wú)聊。這些句子好多了。

If you can add reasons or details when you speak, your speaking will sound better, too! Lets look at some useful words here:

如果你說(shuō)話(huà)的時(shí)候能夠加上一點(diǎn)原因或者細(xì)節(jié)，你的談話(huà)也會(huì)聽(tīng)起來(lái)更好的！讓我們看看一些有用的單詞：

Athletic describes someone whos in good shape and who enjoys exercise and sport. If you say Im not very athletic you mean that you arent very good at sport, and probably you dont really enjoy it, either.

Athletic是用來(lái)形容那些身材很好，很喜歡鍛煉和運(yùn)動(dòng)的人。如果你說(shuō)我不是運(yùn)動(dòng)型的人的話(huà)，那也就是說(shuō)，你不是很擅長(zhǎng)運(yùn)動(dòng)，可能也不喜歡。

Another very useful phrase is I find… , as in I find watching sport quite boring. This is a very good way to give your opinion about something.

另一個(gè)非常有用的句子是我覺(jué)得...，比如：我覺(jué)得看體育的東西很無(wú)聊。這是一種很好的呈現(xiàn)你對(duì)某個(gè)事物觀(guān)點(diǎn)的方式。

For example: I find watching snooker weirdly fascinating.

比如說(shuō)：我覺(jué)得觀(guān)看斯諾克超級(jí)好玩。

I find swimming very relaxing. I found volleyball much more difficult to play than I was expecting.

我覺(jué)得游泳非常令人放松。我覺(jué)得排球比我想象中更難打。

So, what about you? Do you like sport?

那你怎么覺(jué)得呢？你喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng)嗎？

Pause the video and make at least two sentences. Remember to add reasons and details.

暫停視頻，自己造至少兩個(gè)句子。記住要加上原因和細(xì)節(jié)。

Okay? Next, were going to look at how to talk about different kinds of sport in more detail.

好嗎？接下來(lái)，我們要看一下如何詳細(xì)地談?wù)摬煌N類(lèi)的運(yùn)動(dòng)。

How many team sports can you name in English? What did you think of?

你能用英語(yǔ)說(shuō)出幾種團(tuán)隊(duì)運(yùn)動(dòng)？你想到了什么呢？

Maybe you thought of team sports like football, basketball, hockey, volleyball or cricket. Do you play any team sports?

可能你想到了足球、籃球、曲棍球、排球或者板球這些團(tuán)隊(duì)運(yùn)動(dòng)。你玩什么團(tuán)隊(duì)運(yùn)動(dòng)呢？

Usually with team sports, we use the verb play. You could say something like:

我們通常會(huì)用 play 這個(gè)詞來(lái)形容團(tuán)隊(duì)運(yùn)動(dòng)。你可以說(shuō)：

I play football. I like playing basketball.

我踢足球。我喜歡打籃球。

I really enjoy playing cricket.?But, of course, these answers are much too short and lacking in detail!

我真的喜歡打板球。但是，當(dāng)然了，這些答案太短了，而且缺乏細(xì)節(jié)！

So, think about these questions: where do you play, how often and who with? By answering these simple questions, you can make your answer much more detailed and interesting, like this:

所以，想想這些問(wèn)題：你在哪里玩，多久玩一次以及和誰(shuí)一起玩？通過(guò)回答這些問(wèn)題，你可以讓你的答案更加詳細(xì)、更加有趣，就像：

I play 5-a-side football with some friends every Sunday. We rent a sports hall and play a 60-minute match.

我每周日和一些朋友玩五對(duì)五足球。我們租了一個(gè)體育館，打六十分鐘的比賽。

Or, I like playing basketball. I play for a local team.

或者，我喜歡打籃球。我在當(dāng)?shù)氐囊粋€(gè)隊(duì)里打籃球。

We train three times a week and have matches once or twice a week, sometimes in our town, and sometimes in other cities. Do you get the idea?

我們每周訓(xùn)練三次，每周會(huì)有一兩次比賽，有時(shí)候在我們自己的城鎮(zhèn)，有的時(shí)候在其他的城市。你懂了嗎？

Lets do one more example, just to make sure: I really enjoy playing cricket.

以防萬(wàn)一，我們?cè)賮?lái)做一個(gè)練習(xí)：我非常喜歡打板球。

I joined an online group and we meet in the park once a week for a game. Different people play every week, which keeps things interesting!

我加入了一個(gè)網(wǎng)上小組，每周在公園里碰面打比賽。每周打的人都不一樣，非常有趣！

These examples give you some useful language you can use when you speak. For example:

這些例子會(huì)給你一些你在說(shuō)的時(shí)候能夠用得上的有用的語(yǔ)言。比如說(shuō)：

I play for a local team. We play a 60-minute match once a week.

我在當(dāng)?shù)氐囊粋€(gè)隊(duì)伍打。我們每周打一場(chǎng)六十分鐘的比賽。

I joined an online group. You can change these to make them true for you, like this:

我參加了一個(gè)網(wǎng)上小組。你可以變化一下，讓它們符合你自身的情況，就像：

I play for my school team. We play a friendly match a couple of times a month.

我在校隊(duì)打。我們每周打幾次友誼賽。

I joined a club near my home. So, what about you?

我加入了家附近的一個(gè)俱樂(lè)部。所以，你呢？

Use the language with this section and talk about team sports you like. If you dont play team sports now, or if you dont like team sports, try to talk about a friend or relative.

使用這節(jié)課里面的語(yǔ)言，討論一下你喜歡的團(tuán)隊(duì)運(yùn)動(dòng)。如果你現(xiàn)在并不玩什么團(tuán)隊(duì)運(yùn)動(dòng)，或者你不喜歡團(tuán)隊(duì)運(yùn)動(dòng)，試著去談?wù)撘粋€(gè)朋友或者是親戚。

Pause the video and make your answer. You can also write your answer down if you want extra practice!

暫停視頻，組織一下你的答案。如果你想要額外的練習(xí)的話(huà)，你可以寫(xiě)下的你的答案！

How was that? Next, a question: whats the opposite of a team sport?

怎么樣？接下來(lái)的問(wèn)題：和團(tuán)隊(duì)運(yùn)動(dòng)相反的是什么？

Theres the answer: individual sports. Can you name five different individual sports in English?

答案是：個(gè)人運(yùn)動(dòng)。你能用英語(yǔ)說(shuō)五個(gè)不同的個(gè)人運(yùn)動(dòng)嗎？

Maybe you said things like tennis, badminton, swimming, boxing, running or gymnastics. Of course, some of these can be team sports as well, like tennis or badminton.

你可能會(huì)說(shuō)：網(wǎng)球、羽毛球、游泳、拳擊、跑步或者是體操。當(dāng)然了，這里面有些可以是團(tuán)隊(duì)運(yùn)動(dòng)，比如說(shuō)網(wǎng)球或者是羽毛球。

With individual sports, you may need to use different verbs. You play tennis and play badminton, but you go swimming, go running, do boxing and do gymnastics.

你需要用不同的動(dòng)詞來(lái)描述個(gè)體運(yùn)動(dòng)。你打網(wǎng)球或者羽毛球，但是你去游泳、去跑步、打拳擊或者是做體操。

A good general rule is: Play plus ball sports; go plus an activity ending -ing; do plus other activities.

大致的規(guī)律是這樣的：Play修飾球類(lèi)運(yùn)動(dòng)；go 后面加以ing結(jié)尾的活動(dòng)；do加其他的運(yùn)動(dòng)。

And yes, you say do boxing even though boxing ends with -ing. Remember: its a general rule!

是的，盡管 boxing 是以-ing結(jié)尾的，你還是要說(shuō) do 拳擊。記?。哼@只是一個(gè)大概的規(guī)律！

It will work most of the time, but not every time. So, think about the same questions you answered in the last section.

大多數(shù)時(shí)候都是對(duì)的，但并不是每次都對(duì)。所以，想想你在上一部分回答的相同的問(wèn)題。

What sports do you like doing? Where do you do them, how often, and who with?

你喜歡什么運(yùn)動(dòng)？你在哪里做運(yùn)動(dòng)，多久一次，和誰(shuí)一起呢？

Look at one possible answer: I go running by myself or with my husband.

讓我們看看一個(gè)答案：我自己，或者是和我丈夫一起去跑步。

I go once a week or so. I like going running in the park or just around the streets.

我一周大概去個(gè)一次。我喜歡在公園跑步，或者就在街上跑跑。

What do you think—is this a good answer? Its not bad, but its a bit repetitive and simple.

你覺(jué)得怎么樣——這是一個(gè)好的答案嗎？這個(gè)答案還不錯(cuò)，但是有點(diǎn)重復(fù)，也太簡(jiǎn)單了。

Every sentence starts with the same word (I) , which sounds unnatural. How could you improve it?

每個(gè)句子都是以相同的單詞 “I” 開(kāi)始，聽(tīng)起來(lái)并不自然。你如何改進(jìn)這個(gè)句子呢？

Heres one suggestion: I like going running once a week or so, sometimes in the park or just around the streets.

這里有一個(gè)建議：我喜歡每周去跑一次步，有時(shí)在公園里，有時(shí)就沿著街跑。

Sometimes I run with my husband, or sometimes I just go by myself. What do you think?

有時(shí)我和我丈夫一起，有時(shí)候就自己去。你覺(jué)得怎么樣？

Does that sound better? Hopefully, it does.

聽(tīng)起來(lái)好點(diǎn)了嗎？希望是這樣。

This answer uses slightly longer sentences and more varied language. This sounds more natural, is more interesting to listen to, and will also help you if youre taking an English exam such as IELTS.

這個(gè)答案句子更長(zhǎng)，也用了更加多樣化的語(yǔ)言。這個(gè)聽(tīng)起來(lái)更加自然，更加有趣。如果你在參加雅思考試這種英語(yǔ)考試的話(huà)，這種答案對(duì)你也有所幫助。

Lets look at another example: I do boxing at my local gym.

讓我們看看另一個(gè)例子：我在附近的健身房做拳擊。

I go to classes two or three times a week. I dont know the other people in the class.

我每周上兩到三次課。我不認(rèn)識(shí)課上的其他人。

What do you think? Could you make this answer better?

你覺(jué)得怎么樣？你能讓這個(gè)答案更好一點(diǎn)嗎？

Again, its quite repetitive, because every sentence is a simple sentence starting with I. Think about how you could make this answer more natural-sounding.

這個(gè)答案也很重復(fù)，因?yàn)槊烤湓?huà)都很簡(jiǎn)單，都是以 “I" 開(kāi)頭的。想想你能夠如何讓這個(gè)句子聽(tīng)起來(lái)更加自然。

Pause the video and think about your answer if you want. Any ideas?

如果你想的話(huà)，暫停視頻，想想你自己的答案。有任何想法嗎？

Heres one suggestion: I go to boxing classes at my local gym two or three times a week.

這里有一個(gè)建議：我一周去附近的健身房上兩到三次拳擊課程。

There are several other people who go to the same classes, although I dont know them well. Sound better?

有很多人和我上同一門(mén)課程，盡管我并不怎么認(rèn)識(shí)他們。聽(tīng)起來(lái)好點(diǎn)了嗎？

Again, you can see that using slightly longer sentences and using varied sentence structures can make your spoken English sound more natural and interesting. Okay, so now you can talk about different sports you like, and say a little about them.

你能看到使用更長(zhǎng)的句子和不同種類(lèi)的句子結(jié)構(gòu)能夠讓你的英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)聽(tīng)起來(lái)更加自然，也更加有趣。好的，現(xiàn)在你可以談?wù)撃阆矚g的不同運(yùn)動(dòng)了。

Next question: why do you like the sports you like? Why do people do sport?

下一個(gè)問(wèn)題：你為什么喜歡你喜歡的運(yùn)動(dòng)呢？為什么人們要做運(yùn)動(dòng)呢？

How many different reasons can you think of? Some people do sport to socialize.

你能想到多少個(gè)不同的原因？一些人做運(yùn)動(dòng)是為了社交。

Others love to compete. For some people, sport is just a way to get fit and stay healthy.

其他人喜歡競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。而對(duì)于有些人來(lái)說(shuō)，運(yùn)動(dòng)不過(guò)是保持健康的一種方式而已。

What about you? Why do you do sport?

那你呢？你為什么喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng)？

Lets look at two sample answers: I play 5-a-side football with some friends every Sunday.

讓我們看看兩個(gè)答案范例：我每周日和一些朋友踢五對(duì)五足球。

For me, the most important thing is the social side. I dont care about the game, or who wins.

對(duì)我而言，最重要的事情是社交方面的。我不是很關(guān)心比賽本身，或者是誰(shuí)贏(yíng)了。

I just like having a laugh with some good friends and getting a beer afterwards. Heres another:

我只是喜歡和好朋友們說(shuō)說(shuō)笑笑，結(jié)束之后喝杯啤酒。這里是另一個(gè)：

I play basketball for a local team. Personally, I love the competition.

我在當(dāng)?shù)氐囊恢ш?duì)伍打籃球。對(duì)我而言，我喜歡競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。

Theres no better feeling than winning a difficult match, or beating a team who beat you last time. I know some people say that sports about taking part, not winning, but thats not true for me.

沒(méi)有什么事情比贏(yíng)了一場(chǎng)很困難的比賽，或者是打敗了上次你輸給的一支隊(duì)伍感覺(jué)更好了。我知道一些人說(shuō)運(yùn)動(dòng)重在參與，不在乎輸贏(yíng)，但是對(duì)我而言并不是這樣的。

If you dont play to win, whats the point? What do you think?

如果你不是為了贏(yíng)的話(huà)，那有什么意義呢？你怎么想的？

Are these good answers? Hopefully, you can see that these are good!

這是好的答案嗎？希望你能發(fā)現(xiàn)這些答案很好！

Talking about your personal feelings and opinions is your chance to really go into detail and use some interesting language. Lets look at some key words and phrases from the examples youve seen:

談?wù)撃銈€(gè)人的感覺(jué)和意見(jiàn)是讓你變得更加詳細(xì)、使用有趣的語(yǔ)言的很好的機(jī)會(huì)。讓我們看看這些例子中的一些關(guān)鍵詞和短語(yǔ)：

For me, the most important thing is… I just like…

對(duì)我而言，最重要的事情是...我只是喜歡...

Personally, … Theres no better feeling than…

個(gè)人來(lái)說(shuō)，...沒(méi)有什么比...感覺(jué)更好了

You can use these phrases to give your opinion about many different things. For example:

你可以用這些短語(yǔ)說(shuō)出你自己對(duì)于很多不同事物的觀(guān)點(diǎn)。比如說(shuō)：

For me, the most important thing is just getting outdoors and being active. I just like the feeling of overcoming a challenge.

對(duì)我而言，最重要的事情是去戶(hù)外運(yùn)動(dòng)一下。我只是喜歡戰(zhàn)勝挑戰(zhàn)的感覺(jué)。

Personally, Ive always loved being in the water. Theres no better feeling than when youre tired after a good game.

就我而言，我非常喜歡在水里的感覺(jué)。沒(méi)什么比一場(chǎng)很棒的比賽之后，身體的疲憊感覺(jué)更好了。

What about you? Can you describe why you do sport, and why you like the sports you like?

你怎么覺(jué)得？你能描述你為什么做運(yùn)動(dòng)，以及你為什么喜歡你喜歡的那些運(yùn)動(dòng)嗎？

Pause the video, and try to make two or three sentences. Use the language from this section if you can.

暫停視頻，造兩到三個(gè)句子。如果可以的話(huà)，用這部分你學(xué)到的語(yǔ)言。

Alright, so now you can say quite a lot about sport. Lets put everything together.

好的，所以現(xiàn)在你能就運(yùn)動(dòng)說(shuō)很多話(huà)了。讓我們把所有的東西總結(jié)一下吧。

To make a longer answer, you need to: Talk about your general attitude towards sport.

想要說(shuō)出更長(zhǎng)的答案，你需要：談?wù)撃銓?duì)于運(yùn)動(dòng)的大致態(tài)度。

Talk about which sports you like. Say where and how often you do sport, and who you do them with.

談?wù)撃阆矚g什么運(yùn)動(dòng)。說(shuō)你在哪里以及多久一次做運(yùn)動(dòng)，以及和誰(shuí)一起運(yùn)動(dòng)。

Talk about why you do sport. Heres one example:

談?wù)撃銥槭裁催\(yùn)動(dòng)。這是一個(gè)例子：

I enjoy some sports, though Im not a fanatic. Playing football or something like that can be fun, but I dont want to take it too seriously.

我喜歡某些運(yùn)動(dòng)，盡管我并不是一個(gè)狂熱愛(ài)好者。踢足球還挺有趣的，但是我不想把它搞得太嚴(yán)肅。

I play 5-a-side football with some friends every Sunday. We rent a sports hall and play a 60-minute match.

我每周日和一些朋友踢五對(duì)五足球。我們租了一個(gè)運(yùn)動(dòng)館，踢六十分鐘的比賽。

For me, the most important thing is the social side. I dont really care about the game, or who wins.

對(duì)我而言，最重要的事情是社交。我不是很在乎比賽本身，或者誰(shuí)贏(yíng)了。

I just like having a laugh with some good friends and getting a beer afterwards. This example only uses language from the lesson.

我只是喜歡和朋友們說(shuō)說(shuō)笑笑，結(jié)束之后去喝杯啤酒。這個(gè)例子只是用了這節(jié)課學(xué)到的語(yǔ)言。

You can see how you can build an interesting, detailed answer using simple ideas. Lets do one more example, using original language and ideas:

你可以試試如何用這些簡(jiǎn)單的點(diǎn)子組織有趣的、詳細(xì)的答案。讓我們?cè)僮鲆粋€(gè)例子，使用原汁原味的語(yǔ)言和一些點(diǎn)子：

I dont really like sport that much, but fitness and staying healthy are important to me. Thats why I go swimming and do some weight training regularly.

我不是很喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng)，但是保持健康對(duì)我而言很重要。那也是為什么我會(huì)經(jīng)常去游泳，以及做一些重量訓(xùn)練的原因。

I mostly just exercise by myself at the sports centre. Personally, I just do it because I feel I have to.

我通常都是一個(gè)人在體育中心鍛煉。于我而言，我運(yùn)動(dòng)的原因是因?yàn)?，我覺(jué)得我得去運(yùn)動(dòng)。

I dont really enjoy it, although I dont mind it, either. I do like feeling healthy and fit, but exercising always feels more like work than something fun.

我不是很喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng)，不過(guò)我也不是很介意運(yùn)動(dòng)。我喜歡身體健康的感覺(jué)，但是鍛煉于我而言更像是工作，而不是什么有趣的事情。

Okay, now its your turn. Make a longer answer like the two youve just seen.

好的，現(xiàn)在輪到你了。仿照剛才你看到的兩個(gè)答案，自己組織一個(gè)更長(zhǎng)的答案。

Follow the same structure, and use the language from the lesson if you can. Dont forget that you can write your answer down if you want extra practice.

如果可以的話(huà)，沿用相似的結(jié)構(gòu)，使用這節(jié)課學(xué)到的語(yǔ)言。不要忘記如果你想要額外練習(xí)的話(huà)，你可以寫(xiě)下你的答案。

Also, its a good idea to practise your answer several times, until its really fluent and comfortable. Then, if youre really serious, dont just make one answer!

對(duì)了，多次練習(xí)你的答案，直到說(shuō)得很流利、很自如為止是個(gè)好主意。然后，如果你真的很認(rèn)真的話(huà)，不要只組織一個(gè)答案！

Make several answers, talking about different sports. Even better, make an answer from someone elses point of view.

組織很多答案，討論不同的運(yùn)動(dòng)。更好的是，從其他人的角度來(lái)組織答案。
