A：So, which sport do you prefer---basketball or baseball?你喜欢哪种运动,篮球还是棒球?

B：To be honest, I don't really care for either one.坦白说两个我都不喜欢.

A：I thought everyone liked basketball. Why don't you like it?我觉得所有人都喜欢篮球.你为什么会不喜欢呢?

B：I used to play basketball when I was little, and I never scored a goal. Every time I watch a basketball game, I think about how horrible I was at it.我小时候就打过篮球,但是总得不了分.每次我看篮球比赛的时候都会回想起自己当年多狼狈.

A：That makes sense.我明白了.

B：Have you ever seen a live game?你去现场看过比赛吗?

A：Sure, many times. It's an exciting game for spectators to watch.当然,看过很多场.对观众来说这是令人血脉膨胀的比赛.

B：I've never really understood the game.我从来就没弄懂过这种运动.

A：It's not that difficult. If you want to watch a game with me, I can explain the rules and the tactics while we're watching.这一点都不难.如果你愿意跟我一起看场比赛,我就可以边看边向你解说比赛的战术和规则.

B：Thanks, that'd be nice. When's the next ice hockey game on?谢谢你,那可太好了.下一次冰球比赛时什么时候?

A：Not for a while, but we could watch an old one on the internet so I can explain the game to you.还得过一段时间,不过我们可以先在网上跟你看一场过去的比赛回放,解释给你听.

B：That's a good idea.好主意.
