Part II 实践与实战

10.1 Extreme Sports 极限运动口译教程P76

音频位置:实践与实战10.1

In the past, young sportspeople would play hockey or baseball. Today, they want risk and excitement –the closer to the edge the better. They snowboard over cliffs and mountain-bike down steep mountains. They wind-surf near hurricanes, go white-water rafting through rapids, and bungee-jump from towers.

Extreme sports started as an alternative to more expensive sports. A city kid who didn’t have the money to buy expensive sports equipment could get a skateboard and have fun. But now it has become a whole new area of sport, requiring specialized equipment and high levels of skill. There’s even a special Olympics for extreme sports, called the Winter X-Games, which include snow mountain-biking and ice-climbing. An Extreme Games competition is held each summer in Rhode Island. It features sports such as sky-surfing, where people jump from airplanes with surfboards attached to their feet.

What makes extreme sports so popular? I think the main reason is that people love the thrill. City people in particular want to be outdoors on weekends and do something challenging. With the new equipment available today people can take greater risks without getting hurt. And the risk itself is part of the appeal. Once you have been mountain biking or snow-boarding, it’s impossible to go back to cycling or skiing. They are just too boring.

Extreme sports are certainly not for everyone. Most people still prefer to play baseball or basketball or watch sports on TV. But extreme sports are definitely gaining in popularity. These fresh and exciting sports could well be the wave of the future.

10.1 Extreme Sports 极限运动译文

过去,爱好体育的年轻人玩的是曲棍球或棒球,如今他们追求的是冒险和刺激――越接近极限越好。他们踩着踏板从悬崖上方滑过,骑着山地车沿着陡峭的山峰而下,乘风帆迎着飓风冲浪,在湍急中漂流,从塔台往下蹦极跳。

极限运动最初是作为昂贵的运动项目的替代品。城市里的孩子如果买不起贵的运动器材,买个滑板也能玩得兴趣盎然。但现在极限运动已经成为体育运动中一个全新的领域,需要有特制的装备和高超的技巧。甚至还有专为极限运动而设立的称为冬季极限运动会的特奥会,比赛项目包括雪山赛车和攀冰运动等。每年夏天在美国的罗得岛都会举行极限运动竞技比赛,比赛项目包括冲浪式特技跳伞,即在打开降落伞前踩着小冲浪板乘风翱翔的一种特技跳伞等。

是什么原因使得极限运动如此受欢迎呢?我向主要是因为人们喜爱惊险刺激。特别是城市居民渴望在周末走到户外从事一些具有挑战性的运动。借助现代先进的装备,人们能参与更惊险的运动而无损毫发。危险正是极限运动的部分魅力所在。一旦你尝试过山地骑车或是雪地滑板,会觉得普通的自行车或滑雪运动很乏味,难以退而去享受它们的乐趣。

当然,极限运动并不适合所有人。大多数人还是更喜欢玩篮球、棒球或是观看电视上的体育节目。不过极限运动确实是越来越受欢迎了。这种新颖刺激的运动很可能在将来成为风潮。

10.2 体育比赛赛前新闻发布会译文

Thank you all for attending the press conference on the international marathon. First of all, I will brief you on the following features of this year’s competition, and then I would like to answer questions raised by friends from media.

First, the international marathon is a world class competition. So far, it has been confirmed that 17 foreign marathon runners have signed up for it. They come from seven countries including Spain, Kenya, Tanzania, Ecuador, Brazil, Ethiopia and North Korea. We have also invited 120 Chinese athletes who have attended other nationwide marathon championships and qualification competitions for the Olympic marathon. With the participation of those athletes from home and abroad, we are expecting a fierce, exhilarating and thrilling competition.

Second, this year the race course has been readjusted based on last year’s results, to make it flatter and more conductive to better performance. Most of the route lies along Island Ring Road and its large-scale landscaped squares, providing beautiful scenery and fresh air. The route is acclaimed to be the most pleasant one for marathons.

Third, the whole competition will be covered by aerial view. CCTV, Xiamen TV Station and 15 other provincial TV stations will be conducting live broadcast.

Fourth, electronic chips will be used for timing, so as to ensure the accuracy of the result.

Fifth, prize money is higher than that of last year. It is now one million dollars, rather than last year’s 500,000 dollars, for a World Record Award; 30,000 dollars, rather than last year’s 25,000
