Todd: So, Monica, you do Tai Chi?
托德:莫妮卡,你练太极拳?
Monica: Yes, I've just joined a Tai Chi club.
莫妮卡:对,我加入了太极拳俱乐部。
Todd: What made you join the Tai Chi club?
托德:你为什么加入太极拳俱乐部?
Monica: Well, I wanted to do something that was a lot different to what I usually do, which is highimpact sports like basketball and tennis.
莫妮卡:我想做与我之前做的不一样的运动,我以前经常做的运动是篮球、网球等剧烈运动。
Todd: So, you wanted to do something that was slower?
托德:你想做一些慢运动?
Monica: Yeah, well, I don't usually enjoy exercise that is quite slow such as yoga, but I decided to join this club and I'm really enjoying it.
莫妮卡:对,我不太经常做瑜珈之类的慢运动,不过我决定加入太极拳俱乐部,而且我很享受这个运动。
Todd: So, what exactly is Tai Chi? What do you do in Tai Chi?
托德:太极拳是种什么运动?太极拳怎么做?
Monica: Well, there are different types of Tai Chi. There's the original Tai Chi which involves quick fast movements, and then there's a slower form of Tai Chi which is quite popular in Japan. I think it's called Mr. Young Tai Chi, and that involves very slow pronounced movements, and that's the Tai Chi that I'm doing.
莫妮卡:嗯,太极拳有不同的种类。传统太极拳包括快动作,慢动作的太极拳在日本非常受欢迎。我想那称为杨氏太极拳,动作非常缓慢,我现在练的就是这种太极拳。
Todd: How do you feel? Like after you do Tai Chi, do you feel tired? Do you feel energetic?
托德:你感觉怎么样?在练太极拳以后,你会感觉很累吗?还是会感觉充满活力?
Monica: After I've done Tai Chi I feel quite energetic actually. I don't really feel tired because I haven't had a really hard workout, but I feel that my mind is very relaxed and focused and that I'm very motivated to do whatever I need to do for the rest of the day.
莫妮卡:实际上,我练完太极拳以后感觉充满活力。我感觉并不是很累,因为没有进行大强度训练,我的大脑感到非常放松,而且注意力集中,这使我有动力去做一天中要做的事情。
Todd: Now, you actually are a tennis coach, so you teach sports. Would you recommend Tai Chi for other athletes?
托德:你是网球教练,你教授运动。你会把太极拳推荐给其他运动员吗?
Monica: Yeah, I do recommend Tai Chi for other athletes. It's quite difficult to know exactly how you would benefit from Tai Chi, and how it can directly relate a specific sport, but I've heard that it works on your energy levels, and focuses your mind so that everything is in balance, and I think that can help in kind of sport because even in a sport like tennis, it's important to have balance when you're hitting the ball, when you're volleying, when you're getting ready for a smash. It actually involves having balance in terms of where your center of gravity is, so yeah, the concepts are similar.
莫妮卡:会。我建议其他运动员也练太极拳。很难明确说明练太极拳会带来多大好处,太极拳与某项运动有何直接联系,不过我听说太极拳对精力有好处,能使注意力更集中,保持平衡,我认为这对网球这类运动有好处,打网球击球时、打排球扣球时,保持平衡非常重要。这些运动都要保持重心平衡,所以概念是相通的。
