地道美语：参加冬季运动

Hanna: It’s finally snowing outside! Soon we’ll be able to get out the sled.
汉娜：外面终于下雪了！很快我们就能把雪橇弄出去了。
Ahmed: Sledding is for kids. I’m going downhill skiing as soon as there’s enough powder. I can’t wait to feel the wind in my hair as I careen down the side of a mountain.
阿门德：雪橇是让孩子玩的。只要有足够厚的雪，我会从山上往下滑雪。我等不及要去感受从山一侧猛冲下去时风吹拂着头发的那种感觉了。
Hanna: You’re more likely to be on the bunny slopes! You’ve only been on a snowmobile once and gone cross-country skiing a few times. What makes you think you’ll be able to ski the slopes like an expert?
汉娜：你更像是个初级滑板滑雪者吧！你只开过雪地摩托车，参加过几次越野滑雪。什么让你觉得自己能够像个滑雪高手那样从山坡滑下？
Ahmed: I can ice skate better than you can, so no matter what, I know I’ll be better at it than you’ll be. When I get the hang of skiing, I’ll probably try snowboarding.
阿门德：不管怎么说，我滑冰技术比你好。我会比你做的好。当我掌握滑雪的技巧后，或许我会尝试单板滑雪。
Hanna: Now I know you’re blowing smoke. You don’t have the nerve.
汉娜：知道你在说空话蒙人，你没有那个胆量。
Ahmed: Oh, yeah? I challenge you a game of one-on-one ice hockey.
阿门德：哦，是吗？我挑战你一个一对一的冰球游戏。
Hanna: You’re twice my size! Make it a snowball fight.
汉娜：你的块头是我的两倍，我们来玩打雪仗。
Ahmed: You’re on!
阿门德：一言为定！
