　　你最喜欢的运动是什么？

　　You：My favorite sport is playing volleyball.

　　我最喜欢打排球。

　　David：How long have you played volleyball?

　　你打多久了？

　　You：10 years on and off. Actually volleyball is a team sport and sometimes we can’t get enough people who also love to play volleyball, to make up a team and pay the fare². If you’re by yourself, then it’s not so much fun. It’s only practice … exercise.

　　断断续续有10年了。排球是一项集体运动，有时候都凑不够人一起打球、分摊费用；但一个人打又没意思，就成了一种练习了。

　　David：Maybe too individual³?

　　太孤单了吧？

　　You：Well, it’s different from playing with other people. Too boring. I like volleyball because it is a team sport. I can play and communicate with others and we can all enjoy playing the game together.

　　对啊，自己打不如找人一块儿打，自己打太闷了。我爱打排球就是因为它是集体运动，可以和别人交流，一起享受运动的乐趣。

　　David：By the way, I heard that the Chinese national volleyball team is one of the best in the world. Is it true?

　　顺便说一下，我听说中国国家排球队是世界上最棒的，是吗？

　　You：Yes. Women’s volleyball in particular⁴. There was a time they played so well that they won the championship for five times in a row. Lang Ping was the most famous player back then. She was the team captain. She later coached the national team.

　　中国女排是这样的。有一段时间女排表现极佳，获得五连冠。郎平以前是女排中最出色的队员，也是以前女排的队长。退役后执教中国女排。

　　David：How about men’s volleyball?

　　男排怎样呢？

　　You：Men's volleyball pales when compared with the achievements of the women's. But men are better known⁵ for their achievements in basketball, like Yao Ming.

　　没有女排成绩好。男篮很不错，姚明就是一名很出色的队员。
