同時也介紹有用的運動APP,幫你持續運動不無聊!再來認識國際與台灣知名的運動明星,如:咖哩小子柯瑞、C羅、戴資穎、林子偉等,看看他們的成功故事。最後,台灣和運動的關係其實比我們想像中還要密切,因為有許多運動產品其實都是made in Taiwan,包括奧運比賽中所使用的體育器材和運動服,例如:2016年的里約奧運上,台灣製造的產品從運動鞋、羽毛球拍到足球都是。
也可學到運動相關片語,如: ◆have come a long way 進步很多 字面上翻譯成「走了很漫長的路」,但其實它還具有更深層的意思,走了很長的一段路,一步一步地往前走,這個片語是在表達「越來越進步、有很大的進展」,另一個相似的片語為 make a great progress。 A: Do you remember the days when cell phones were the size of bricks? 你還記得以前手機跟磚塊一樣大嗎? B: Yeah. Technology has come a long way since then. 記得啊。從那時以來科技進步了很多。
甚至是你沒想到自己會學到的文法知識,像是提到運動賽事發生的年代時,該如何表達。 ◆年代的表達方式 我們常聽到的年代常是在描述西元年間的某段間隔,像是70年代或90年代等等。那麼英文應該要怎麼表示呢?我們以90年代當例子,90年代就是1990年代,也就是指從1990到1999這幾年,特指某個區間的年份,前面一定要加上 the;年份也不止一年,當然也少不了複數的 s,所以英文就變成 the 1990s,也可以縮寫為 the ’90s,念法是 nineteen nineties。
特色三:實用情境對話,自在應付各種運動場合!
針對在健身房,自主訓練時必做的重訓,提供超級實用的對話。 Jamie: Hey, would you mind spotting me? I’m a newbie here. Steve: Sure, no problem. How many reps do you want to do? Jamie: Well, I’m just pressing 75 pounds, so I guess I’ll go for 12 reps. Steve: That sounds about right. Do you want a lift off? Jamie: A lift off? Sorry, I don’t know what that means. Steve: That’s when you help somebody lift the bar off the rack.
針對市場上有點複雜的健身房方案,像是月費、無限使用的團體課程、報名費。是不是聽到都腿軟了?把對話學好,包你對答如流喔! Trisha: I’m considering joining your gym. What are your membership options? Bob: We have the basic plan, which is 25 dollars a month, and the VIP plan, which is 45 dollars. Trisha: What’s the difference between the two plans? Bob: The basic plan gives you access to all our facilities, and the VIP plan includes unlimited group classes. Trisha: Is there a sign-up fee? Bob: Yes, there’s a 50 dollar sign-up fee. But we waive it if you pay for a year in advance.
Since soccer—known to most of the world as football—is the world’s most popular sport, it’s not surprising that the FIFA World Cup is the most watched sporting event on the planet, 1)surpassing even the Olympics. Over a billion people watched the final match between Germany and Argentina during the 2014 World Cup, a seventh of the world’s population. Soccer is also one of the world’s oldest sports. The Chinese game of cuju, which involved kicking a feather-filled ball through 2)goal posts, dates back to the Han 3)Dynasty. The ancient Greeks and Romans also developed similar sports, but the modern game of soccer most likely developed 4)independently in England. As far back as the Middle Ages, a game called “mob football,” which used an air-filled pig’s 5)bladder and had few rules, was played between English towns and villages.
But it wasn’t until the Cambridge Rules—a single set of rules to govern all university games—were written in 1848 that soccer as we know it began to 6)take shape. The first international soccer match was held in Glasgow between Scotland and England in 1872, and as soccer became popular around the world at the turn of the 20th century, it was added as an Olympic sport. Founded in 1904 to govern international soccer competition, FIFA began managing Olympic soccer in 1914, and organized the first World Cup in 1930. Uruguay beat Argentina to win in 1930, but Brazil has been the big winner since then, taking home five titles, followed by Germany and Italy with four titles each. Russia, who has yet to 7)make it to a Cup final, will be hosting the 2018 World Cup, which will be held from June 14 to July 15.
這裡的 turn 意思為「轉換」。at the turn of the century 「世紀的轉換」,就是在說新舊世紀交接之際。
