美語情景對話 第593期:Ultimate Frisbee 極限飛盤(1)

Todd: What sports are you into?

託德：你喜歡什麼體育運動？

Wendi: I like everything. I do everything.

溫迪：我喜歡所有的體育運動。所有的體育運動我都會參加。

Todd: Really!

託德：真的嗎？

Wendi: Yeah.

溫迪：對。

Todd: What's the last sport you played?

託德：你最近一次參與了什麼體育運動？

Wendi: The last sport I played — I'm just looking at my calendar — the last sport I played was probably Ultimate Frisbee, oh, yeah, Ultimate Frisbee.

溫迪：我要看下日曆……我最近進行的體育活動應該是極限飛盤，對，沒錯，是極限飛盤。

Todd: OK, so a lot of people probably don't know what Ultimate Frisbee is. Can you explain it?

託德：應該有許多人不知道極限飛盤是什麼。你能解釋一下嗎？

Wendi: Yeah. It's a field sport played on a soccer pitch type thing but the field is similar to American football so there's two end-zones and the game is similar to American football in that you're trying to receive an object in an end-zone by catching it within that end-zone. And to advance, it is also similar in that there's a kick off from one kind of team to the other to receive the object and move it up the field, but when you receive the Frisbee, it gets thrown at you from the other team, when you receive the Frisbee you can't run with it unlike American football, so once you receive the disk, you must stop running and you can make a pass to another player and so it's basically a throwing and catching sport and it's a lot of fun.

溫迪：好的。這是一項在足球場地上進行的戶外運動，準確地說比賽場地類似美式橄欖球的場地，有兩個得分區，極限飛盤比賽同美式橄欖球類似，你要在得分區內接到飛盤。另外，得分的一方要把飛盤扔給另一方，使飛盤在場地上移動，當你接到對方扔過來的飛盤後你不能帶着飛盤跑，這點與美式橄欖球不同，你接到飛盤後必須要停止跑動，把飛盤傳給另一名球員，所以基本來說，這是一項傳接運動，很有趣。

Todd: And you can play anywhere — in the street or in the park?

託德：可以在街頭和公園裏玩嗎？

Wendi: Well, you can, yeah, you can, like, grab a Frisbee and go throw with it a friend anywhere that you want to but the game of Ultimate Frisbee is played with seven players a side on each team, and yeah, you can play it everywhere.

溫迪：可以，當然可以，你可以和一個朋友在任何地方玩飛盤，不過極限飛盤比賽是七人制比賽，你可以任何地方進行這項運動。
