Conversation Two
M: Please hear me out. I don’t want our son to spend his afternoons doing something he hates, even if it might prepare him for the future. What about getting him to join a sport, like soccer? From all the running and training, he could become quite athletic. Not to mention the great physical benefits from exercising outside every day.
W: [12] Um, I don’t think he should be doing something so challenging with all his breathing issues. What about playing an indoor sport, like badminton? The environment is easier to control, and he can still get a good workout, in addition to improving his hand-eye coordination. Besides, I could teach him some of the basics from my time as a badminton player.
M: Um, I’m thinking team sports should be the way to go. There’s nothing like playing as part of a unit to accomplish a goal like winning a game or even a championship. [13] He could try basketball since many of the courts are indoors now and it’s a sport that could help him understand team spirit while cooperating with others. Maybe he could even join the school basketball team when he’s ready.
W: Oh, oh, what about volleyball? It’s a team sport and they often have mixed-gender teams so he could socialize with both girls and boys. [14] It’s not as popular as some sports, which means he has better odds of possibly getting an athletic scholarship in the future. I also believe you were a beach volleyball athlete yourself not so long ago.
M: As I’ve said many times before, [15] beach volleyball and indoor volleyball are completely different.
长对话二
男:请听我说完。我不想让我们的儿子把下午的时间花在他讨厌的事情上,即使这可能为他的将来做准备。让他参加一项运动怎么样,比如足球?通过所有的跑步和训练,他可以变得相当健壮。更不用说每天在户外运动带来的巨大身体益处了。
女:嗯,考虑到他所有的呼吸方面的问题,我认为他不应该做这么有挑战性的事。进行一项室内运动怎么样,比如羽毛球?环境更容易控制,而且除了提高手眼协调能力,他仍然能得到很好的锻炼。另外,我可以凭我过去打羽毛球的经验教他一些基础。
男:嗯,我认为团队运动应该是首选。没有什么比作为团队的一份子去实现一个目标更好的了,比如赢得一场比赛甚至冠军。他可以试试篮球,因为现在很多球场都在室内,而且这是一项能帮助他在与他人合作时理解团队精神的运动。也许等他准备好了,甚至可以加入学校篮球队。
女:哦,哦,排球怎么样?它是一项团队运动,而且他们经常有男女混合队,这样他既可以和女孩也可以和男孩交往。它不像一些运动那么受欢迎,这意味着他未来获得体育奖学金的机会更大。我也相信你自己不久前还是一名沙滩排球运动员。
男:正如我以前说过很多次的,沙滩排球和室内排球完全不同。
