长对话二
Please hear me out. I don't want our son to spend his afternoons doing something he hates, even if it might prepare him for the future.
请听我说完。我不想让我们的儿子在下午做他讨厌的事情,即使这可能为他的未来做准备。
What about getting him to join a sport, like soccer? From all the running and training, he could become quite athletic.
让他参加一项运动怎么样,比如足球?通过跑步和训练,他可以变得非常有运动天赋。
Not to mention the great physical benefits from exercising outside every day.
更不用说每天在户外锻炼对身体的巨大好处了。
I don't think he should be doing something so challenging with all his breathing issues. What about playing an indoor sport, like badminton?
我认为他不应该做那些有呼吸问题、有挑战性的事情。打羽毛球怎么样?
The environment is easier to control,and he can still get a good workout, in addition to improving his hand eye coordination.
环境更容易控制,他仍然可以得到很好的锻炼,还能提高手眼协调能力。
Besides, I could teach him some of the basics from my time as a badminton player.
此外,我可以教他一些我打羽毛球时学到的基本知识。
Um, I'm thinking team sports should be the way to go. There's nothing like playing as part of a unit to accomplish a goal like winning a game or even a championship.
嗯,我认为团队运动应该是可行的。没有什么比作为一个团队的一部分来完成目标,比如赢得比赛甚至赢得冠军更好的了。
He could try basketball since many of the courts are indoors now and it's a sport that could help him understand team spirit while cooperating with others.
他可以尝试打篮球,因为现在很多球场都在室内,篮球可以帮助他理解团队精神,同时与他人合作。
Maybe he could even join the school basketball team when he's ready.
也许他准备好后可以加入学校篮球队。
Oh, oh, what about volleyball? It's a team sport and they often have mixed gender teams so he could socialize with both girls and boys.
那排球呢?这是一项团队运动,他们经常有男女混合球队,所以他可以和男孩女孩交往。
It's not as popular as some sports, which means he has better odds of possibly getting an athletic scholarship in the future.
它不像某些运动那么受欢迎,这意味着他将来更有可能获得运动奖学金。
I also believe you were a beach volleyball athlete yourself not so long ago.
我也相信不久前你自己也是一名沙滩排球运动员。
As I've said many times before,beach volleyball and indoor volleyball are completely different.
正如我之前多次说过的,沙滩排球和室内排球完全不同。
