Hi, I'm Niamh. Welcome to Oxford Online

English.

嗨，我是Niamh。等待来到牛津大学在线英语课堂。

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

在本节课程中，你可以学到如何用英语谈论运动。你是运动迷吗？

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

你喜爱啥运动呢？运动是英文对话中非常常见的论题，所以不管你是不是喜爱运动，有关于运动的话可以谈论、有关于运动的疑问可以问，总之是极好的。

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

第一个疑问：你喜爱运功吗？想想你会如何作答。

You could say something like: I've always been really sporty.

你可以会这样说：我超级酷爱运动。

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

我喜爱运动，尽管没那么张狂。讲真，我并

不是很喜爱运动。

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

你晓得 sporty 和 fanatic 是啥意思吗？Sporty指的对错常喜爱运动、也常常运动的人。

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

Fanatic字面上的意思是只非常关怀某个东西的人。你可以用它的直接意义，来描述对某个作业特别感快乐喜爱的人。

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

所以假定你说，我喜爱

某些运动，尽管并不是张狂喜爱者的时分，你的意思是你喜爱运动，可是运动于你而言并不是最重要的作业。好的，你如今有三个语句。

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

哪个和你的定见最接近呢？这是开好的语句来初步谈论，可是要记住，假定可以的话，要多加上一点细节！

Let's add some reasons or details to the three sentences you saw: I've always been really sporty.

让咱们给你看到的三个语句加上一些缘由或许细节吧。我一向非常酷爱运动。

I loved sport when I

was a kid, and I still play most weeks. I enjoy some sports, though I'm not a fanatic.

我是个孩子的时分就很喜爱运动，如今每周根柢仍是要运动。我喜爱运动，尽管并不是很张狂。

Playing football or something like that can be fun, but I don't want to take it too seriously. I'm not that into sport, to be honest.

踢踢足球还挺好玩的，可是我不想把它搞得太严厉。讲真，我不是很喜爱运动。

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

我不是运动型的人，而且我觉得看体育的东西很无聊。这些语句许多了。

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

假定你说话的时分可以加上一点缘由或许细节，你的说话也会听起来非常好的！让咱们看看一些有用的单词：

Athletic describes someone who's in good shape and who enjoys exercise and sport. If you say I'm not very athletic you mean that you aren't very good at sport, and probably you don't really enjoy it, either.

Athletic是用来描述那些身段极好，很喜爱训练和运动的人。假定你说我不是运动型的人的话，那也就是说，你不是很擅长运动，可以也不喜爱。

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.

另一个非常有用的语句是我觉得…，比方：我觉得看体育的东西很无聊。这是一种极好的呈现你对某个事物观念的方法。

For example: I find watching snooker weirdly fascinating.

比方说：我觉得观看斯诺克超级好玩。

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

我觉得游水非常令人放松。我觉得排球比我愿望中更难打。

So, what about you? Do you like sport?

那你怎么觉得呢？你喜爱运动吗？

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

暂停视频，自个造至少两个语句。记住要加上缘由和细节。

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

好吗？接下来，咱们要看一下如何具体地谈论不一样品种的运动。

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

你能用英语说出几种团队运动？你想到了啥呢？

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

可以你想到了足球、篮球、曲棍球、排球或许板球这些团队运动。你玩啥团队运动呢？

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

咱们一般会用 play 这个词来描述团队运动。你可以说：

I play football. I like playing basketball.

我踢足球。我喜爱打篮球。

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

我真的喜爱打板球。可是，当然了，这些答案太短了，而且短少细节！

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，想想这些疑问：你在哪里玩，多久玩一次以及和谁一同玩？经过答复这些疑问，你可以让你的答案愈加具体、愈加风趣，就像：

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

我每周日和一些兄弟玩五对五足球。咱们租了一个别育馆，打六非常钟的竞赛。

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

或许，我喜爱打篮球。我在当地的一个队里打篮球。

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?

咱们每周练习三次，每周会有一两次竞赛，有时分在咱们自个的乡镇，有的时分在其他的城市。你懂了吗？

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

以防如果，咱们再来做一个操练：我非常喜爱打板球。

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!

我参加了一个网上小组，每周在公园里会面打竞赛。每周打的人都纷歧样，非常风趣！

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

这些比方会给你一些你在说的时分可以用得上的有用的言语。比方说：

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

我在当地的一个部队打。咱们每周打一场六非常钟的竞赛。

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

我参加了一个网上小组。你可以改变一下，让它们契合你本身的情况，就像：

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

我在校正打。咱们每周打几回友谊赛。

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

我参加了家邻近的一个沙龙。所以，你呢？

Use the language with this section and talk about team sports you like. If you don't play team sports now, or if you don't like team sports, try to talk about a friend or relative.

运用这节课里边的言语，谈论一下你喜爱的团队运动。假定你如今并不玩啥团队运动，或许你不喜爱团队运动，试着去谈论一个兄弟或许是亲属。

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

暂停视频，组织一下你的答案。假定你想要额定的操练的话，你可以写下的你的答案！

How was that? Next, a question: what's the opposite of a team sport?

怎么样？接下来的疑问：和团队运动相反的是啥？

There's the answer: individual sports. Can you name five different individual sports in English?

答案是：自个运动。你能用英语说五个不一样的自个运动吗？

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.

你可以会说：网球、茸毛球、游水、拳击、跑步或许是体操。当然了，这儿面有些可所以团队运动，比方说网球或许是茸毛球。

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.

你需要用不一样的动词来描绘个别运动。你打网球或许茸毛球，可是你去游水、去跑步、打拳击或许是做体操。

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

大致的规则是这样的：Play润饰球类运动；go 后边加以ing结束的活动；do加其他的运动。

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

是的，尽管 boxing 是以-ing结束的，你仍是要说 do 拳击。记住：这只是一个大约的规则！

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

大大都时分都是对的，但并不是每次都对。所以，想想你在上一有些答复的相同的疑问。

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

你喜爱啥运动？你在哪里做运动，多久一次，和谁一同呢？

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

让咱们看看一个答案：我自个，或许是和我丈夫一同去跑步。

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

我一周大约去个一次。我喜爱在公园跑步，或许就在街上跑跑。

What do you think—is this a good answer? It's not bad, but it's a bit repetitive and simple.

你觉得怎么样——这是一个好的答案吗？这个答案还不错，可是有点重复，也太简略了。

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

每个语句都是以相同的单词 “I” 初步，听起来并不天然。你如何改进这个语句呢？

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

这儿有一个主张：我喜爱每周去跑一次步，有时在公园里，有时就沿着街跑。

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

有时我和我丈夫一同，有时分就自个去。你觉得怎么样？

Does that sound better? Hopefully, it does.

听起来好点了吗？期望是这样。

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 you're taking an English exam such as IELTS.

这个答按语句更长，也用了愈加多样化的言语。这个听起来愈加天然，愈加风趣。假定你在参加雅思考试这种英语考试的话，这种答案对你也有所协助。

Let's look at another example: I do boxing at my local gym.

让咱们看看另一个比方：我在邻近的健身房做拳击。

I go to classes two or three times a week. I don't know the other people in the class.

我每周上两到三次课。我不知道课上的其别人。

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

你觉得怎么样？你能让这个答案非常好一点吗？

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

这个答案也很重复，因为每句话都很简略，都是以 “I" 最初的。想想你可以如何让这个语句听起来愈加天然。

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

假定你想的话，暂停视频，想想你自个的答案。有任何主意吗？

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

这儿有一个主张：我一周去邻近的健身房上两到三次拳击课程。

There are several other people who go to the same classes, although I don't know them well. Sound better?

有许多人和我上同一门课程，尽管我并不怎么知道他们。听起来好点了吗？

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.

你能看到运用更长的语句和不一样品种的语句规划可以让你的英语口语听起来愈加天然，也愈加风趣。好的，如今你可以谈论你喜爱的不一样运动了。

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

下一个疑问：你为啥喜爱你喜爱的运动呢？为啥我们要做运动呢？

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

你能想到多少个不一样的缘由？一些人做运动是为了交际。

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

其别人喜爱竞赛。而关于有些人来说，运动不过是坚持安康的一种方法而已。

What about you? Why do you do sport?

那你呢？你为啥喜爱运动？

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

让咱们看看两个答案典范：我每周日和一些兄弟踢五对五足球。

For me, the most important thing is the social side. I don't care about the game, or who wins.

对我而言，最重要的作业是交际方面的。我不是很关怀竞赛本身，或许是谁赢了。

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

我只是喜爱和洽兄弟们说说笑笑，结束之后喝杯啤酒。这儿是另一个：

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

我在当地的一支部队打篮球。对我而言，我喜爱竞赛。

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

没有啥作业比赢了一场很困难的竞赛，或许是打败了前次你输给的一支部队感触非常好了。我晓得一些人说运动重在参加，不在乎输赢，可是对我而言并不是这样的。

If you don't play to win, what's the point? What do you think?

假定你不是为了赢的话，那有啥意义呢？你怎么想的？

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

这是好的答案吗？期望你能发现这些答案极好！

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

谈论你自个的感触和定见是让你变得愈加具体、运用风趣的言语的极好的机缘。让咱们看看这些比方中的一些要害词和短语：

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

对我而言，最重要的作业是…我只是喜爱…

Personally, … There's no better feeling than…

自个来说，…没有啥比…感触非常好了

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

你可以用这些短语说出你自个关于许多不火伴物的观念。比方说：

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

对我而言，最重要的作业是去户外运动一下。我只是喜爱打败应战的感触。

Personally, I've always loved being in the water. There's no better feeling than when you're tired after a good game.

就我而言，我非常喜爱在水里的感触。没啥比一场很棒的竞赛之后，身体的疲倦感触非常好了。

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

你怎么觉得？你能描绘你为啥做运动，以及你为啥喜爱你喜爱的那些运动吗？

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

暂停视频，造两到三个语句。假定可以的话，用这有些你学到的言语。

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

好的，所以如今你能就运动说许多话了。让咱们把一切的东西总结一下吧。

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

想要说出更长的答案，你需要：谈论你关于运动的大致情绪。

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

谈论你喜爱啥运动。说你在哪里以及多久一次做运动，以及和谁一同运动。

Talk about why you do sport. Here's one example:

谈论你为啥运动。这是一个比方：

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

我喜爱某些运动，尽管我并不是一个张狂喜爱者。踢足球还挺风趣的，可是我不想把它搞得太严厉。

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

我每周日和一些兄弟踢五对五足球。咱们租了一个运动馆，踢六非常钟的竞赛。

For me, the most important thing is the social side. I don't really care about the game, or who wins.

对我而言，最重要的作业是交际。我不是很在乎竞赛本身，或许谁赢了。

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

我只是喜爱和兄弟们说说笑笑，结束之后去喝杯啤酒。这个比方只是用了这节课学到的言语。

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

你可以试试如何用这些简略的点子组织风趣的、具体的答案。让咱们再做一个比方，运用原汁原味的言语和一些点子：

I don't really like sport that much, but fitness and staying healthy are important to me. That's why I go swimming and do some weight training regularly.

我不是很喜爱运动，可是坚持安康对我而言很重要。那也是为啥我会常常去游水，以及做一些分量练习的缘由。

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

我一般都是一自个在体育中心训练。于我而言，我运动的缘由是因为，我觉得我得去运动。

I don't really enjoy it, although I don't mind it, either. I do like feeling healthy and fit, but exercising always feels more like work than something fun.

我不是很喜爱运动，不过我也不是很介意运动。我喜爱身体安康的感触，可是训练于我而言更像是作业，而不是啥风趣的作业。

Okay, now it's your turn. Make a longer answer like the two you've just seen.

好的，如今轮到你了。仿照方才你看到的两个答案，自个组织一个更长的答案。

Follow the same structure, and use the language from the lesson if you can. Don't forget that you can write your answer down if you want extra practice.

假定可以的话，沿用类似的规划，运用这节课学到的言语。不要忘掉假定你想要额定操练的话，你可以写下你的答案。

Also, it's a good idea to practise your answer several times, until it's really fluent and comfortable. Then, if you're really serious, don't just make one answer!

对了，多次操练你的答案，直到说得很流利、很自若中止是个好主见。然后，假定你真的很细心的话，不要只组织一个答案！

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

组织许多答案，谈论不一样的运动。非常好的是，从其别人的视点来组织答案。
