今天的这段对话，在讨论游戏，

你喜欢玩什么游戏？如何掌握玩魔方的技巧

来听今天的讲解:

A: do you like playing games?

你喜欢玩游戏吗?

B:I like playing computer games, but I'm not really into board games.

我喜欢玩电脑游戏,但是不怎么喜欢玩棋盘游戏.

A: how about individual games like the Rubik's cube or solitaire?

单人游戏比如魔方或者单人扑克怎么样?

B:  the Rubik's cube is so difficult to solve that I think it should be banned!

魔方太难了,我觉得应该禁止.

A:if I taught you how to do it, I'm sure you could solve it.

要是我来教你怎么玩,我敢保证你能玩好.

B:  how did you figure out how to slove the Rubik's cube?

你是怎么弄明白魔方怎么玩的?

A: I didn't really have to figure it out. I just followed the instructions!

我其实也没弄明白怎么对好魔方,我只是按照说明书做的.

B:  I had no idea there were a set of instructions. I thought everyone who could solve it were all geniuses!

我搞不懂那一长串的说明书.我觉得所有能转好魔方的人都是天才.

A: hints are really important when you're solving puzzles. If you give me some hints about playing that PS2 game, I’ll show you how to solve the Rubik's cube.

当我们玩解密游戏的时候,攻略提示是非常重要的.如果你能教我怎么玩好PS2游戏,我就教你怎么转魔方.

B:  it's a deal.

一言为定.

A: do you remember, years ago, when everybody at the New Year's party had yo-yos?

你记得多年前,某次新年晚会上人人都玩溜溜球吗?

B:  yeah. That was a strange party. Can you still do any of those yo-yo tricks?

是啊,那次聚会很奇怪.你还会玩溜溜球的那些花样吗?

A: I don't know. I haven't tried yo-yo since that party!

我不知道.那次聚会以后我就再没有玩过溜溜球了.

B:  I could never figure out how to use my yo-yo.

我从来就没掌握过玩溜溜球的窍门.

A: if you don't start when you're young, it's hard to get the hang of it.

如果你不是从小就开始玩这个,恐怕很难掌握诀窍.

B:  let's get started with this game then.

咱们还是回到这个游戏上吧.

A: ok.

好的.
