第20单元 史提夫和老虎

 

Steve Wonder and Tiger Woods are in a bar. Steve Wonder says:"How's the golf?"

 

史提夫·汪达和老虎·伍兹在酒吧里聊天。史提夫·汪达说：“最近高尔夫打得怎么样啊?”

 

Woods replies:"Not too bad, I've had some problems with my swing, but I've got that right now."

 

伍兹回答：“还可以，最近挥杆是有点不顺，但我想问题已经克服了。”

 

Stevie Wonder says:"I always find that when myswing goes wrong, I need to stop playing for a while and not think about it.

 

史提夫说：“我发现每次我只要挥杆不顺，最好就是休息一阵子什么都不要想，

 

Then, the next time I play, it seems to be all right."

 

等下回打球时，就什么问题都没了。”

 

Tiger Woods says:"You play golf?"

 

老虎·伍兹说：“你也打高尔夫?”

 

Stevie Wonder says:"Oh, yes, I've been playing for many years."

 

史提夫·汪达说：“是啊，我打了好多年了。”

 

And Woods says:"But, you're blind. How can you play golf if you're blind?"

 

伍兹说：“可是你不是失明了吗?眼睛看不见怎么打高尔夫呢?”

 

Wonder replies:"I get my caddy to stand in the middle of the fairway and call to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and play towards him."

 

汪达回答：“我叫我的球童站在球道中央然后叫我，我便听着他嗓子传来的声音，把球朝他的方向打。”

 

"Then, when I get to where the ball lands, the caddy moves to the green or farther¹ down the fairway and again I play the ball towards his voice."

 

“等球落地后，球童便移动到果岭或是球道更远的地方，我再把球朝他声音的方向打。”

 

Woods asks:"What's your handicap²?"

 

伍兹问：“你什么方面差点?”

 

Stevie says, "Well, I'm a scratch golfer. We've got to paly a round sometime."

 

史提夫说：“我是零差点球员。改天来打场球吧。”

 

Woods says,"Ok, I'm game for that, when would you like to play?"

 

伍兹说：“好啊，我很乐意。你觉得什么时间比较好”

 

Stevie says, "Pick a night!"

 

史提夫说：“选一天晚上吧!”
