court and“court”
慧慧和Nathan在壁球馆里打壁球，每次Nathan接不到球，就ask for a“let”.最后慧慧终于忍不住了……
Nathan：Let please！
慧慧：Nathan，你怎么一接不到球就叫“let”。什么意思？
Nathan：that's because I don't want to hit you.
慧慧：what？怕打着我？
Nathan：Yeah, You know when I prepare for a shot, you always stand in my way, so I have to ask for a“Let please”or an exception.Thats why someone said, during the squash game, you move your legs fast, and racket slow.
慧慧：哦？原来是赖我挡着你打球了。那如果你ask for a“let please”，结果是什么呢？
Nahtan：in that way I don't lose a point when I can't hit the ball.
慧慧：哦，听你这么一说，我明白了两件事。
Nathan：什么？
慧慧：一个是在壁球中，To call for or ask for a let就是说，你觉得对手妨碍了你的接球，就叫“let please”，然后你就可以不丢分。
Nathan：对呀，你真聪明。你还明白了什么？
慧慧：第二个就是I also know that you are using the“Let”rule to cheat！
Nathan：可你凭什么证明我是在作弊？You have to provide evidence.Since you don't have any, you're just going to have to trust meJ
慧慧：你既然这么说，也别怪我不客气。You know two can play that game！
Nathan：（puzzled）What do you mean？
慧慧：two can play that game！就是我们常说的以其人之道还治其身，您今儿看我怎么好好教训一下Nathan.
转身拉起Nathan就走……
Nathan：where do we go！（try to struggle away）
慧慧：squash court！
Nathan：but this is a squash court.
慧慧：是法庭，不是球场！
Nathan：……
In the court, in darkness, only sport light.a referee sit behind the sport Englishs desk, Nathan, Huihui sit beside seriously, Nathan looks shocked and confused.
慧慧：尊贵的法官先生，您好。我要正式向法庭起诉Nathan。
Nathan：This isn't right！What's going on？
Judge：小姐，请。
慧慧：感谢法官大人。我要起诉被告Nathan Jones在同我打壁球时故意利用对规则的曲解来为自己占便宜。我认为这是一种违反体育道德的做壁行为。同时，他在intentionally broking game rules 的同时还须以谋杀……
Judge：（astonished）！
Nathan：What！This is ridiculous！Kill？I never……
Judge：（to Nathan）没问你！
慧慧：（continued）壁球正式比赛规则中的相关条款规定：APPEAL can be made where the player requests the Referee to allow a let.很清楚，在没有裁判的情况下，是无法私自叫妨碍暂停的。
Nathan：Your honor I was just trying to prevent her from winning a point.Its really not that serious.Besides, she served the ball above the out-line several times and I ignored it
Judge：被告，You are out of line！……诶？等等，你刚才好像也在说原告慧慧也什么above the out-line。
慧慧：Ah，那不一样。您说的out of line指的是行为出格，而被告说的那个out-line就是在壁球馆周围一圈线，球要是高出这条线，就会被判死球 dead ball.或者hand out.
Judge：hand out？不是拿出来的意思吗？怎么好端端的词到你们这里都搞得莫名其妙的？
Nathan：ah, in squash, hand out means you change the serve right.交换发球权。
Judge：唉有，审你们这个案子真是让我头痛！
Judge：这回我清楚了，out line是：hand out 是交换发球权。so what is all this about a killing？
慧慧：这家伙在打球的时候嘴里不停地，一听就知道他没按好心。
Nathan：A kill？Oh！你是说我发的哪些逼迫对手的又低又快得球？That may be called going for the kill but it has nothing to do with murder！Your honor，你们不也经常说什么扣杀么？
Judge：这太荒唐了。你们一直都在那这些壁球场上的行话在愚弄笨官。为了不让你们再打架，我现在没收你们的球拍，不许你们在打壁球。（拿过球拍，一边仔细端详，一边自语）我明天也试试 去玩玩壁球这个新鲜玩艺儿。……
在路上—汽车拉力锦标赛
在路上——汽车拉力锦标赛（2004年1月1日 CCTV-5播出）
央视国际 2004年01月01日 20：30（了解了rally这个词之后，两位主持人又回到了演播室……）
[主持人]
慧慧：Rally，拉力赛；拉力赛，rally。
Aaron：这就练上了！
慧慧：好了，rally这个词已经被我拿下了！
Aaron：OK，慧慧，你知道嘛？Rally分两种路段Road section and special stage.
慧慧：这两个都是什么呀？快告诉我啊！
Aaron：有人会告诉你的。Lets have a look！
[采访王睿]
体育英语的观众朋友们，你们好，我是上海大众333车队的车手王睿，在2002年和2003年的全国拉力锦标赛当中，我获得了两届的年度总冠军，今天非常高兴和大家在一起来探讨一下汽车拉力锦标赛这个话题。
[采访王睿]（汽车拉力赛的）比赛分为特殊赛段和行驶路段，特殊赛段车手是以最快的速度去完成这个比赛，裁判会记录车手在赛段里完成的比赛的时间，所有的赛段的时间加起来，就是车手的成绩，车手在这个里面，会尽量的缩短自己所用的时间，去完成这个赛段。
[短片]
特殊赛段，即Special Stage，通常简称为SS，这是Rally中的正式比赛部分，也是最精彩最刺激的部分。它的长度从2公里到120公里不等。
一般来说比赛路面有两种，一种是柏油路面，asphalt roads。另一种是非柏油路面，即砂石路面，Gravel tracks。
但在不同的地区，不同的季节，还会有一些特殊的路面。
比如每年的瑞典站拉力赛，完全在雪地路面上进行的，有的赛段甚至设置在冰封的湖面上。车手必须換裝胎寬較窄、胎面有雪釘的轮胎。
而英国拉力赛常在雨季举行，泥泞的路面非常的湿滑；车手得小心谨慎驾驶，否则就会滑出道路。
当然，还有在非洲沙漠中举行的拉力赛，最著名的当数巴黎达喀尔拉力赛了。
赛车在一望无际的浩瀚沙漠中急驰而过，身后黄沙滚滚。
要在这些严苛路況中竞赛对于车辆与车手都是一大考验。这时的驾驶已与我们日常生活中的完全不同。
[主持人]
慧慧：Aaron，要是驾着赛车在大马路上飞驰，超车，闯红灯，那才叫一个过瘾！
Aaron：那倒是，but in road section, all traffic laws must be obeyed.
慧慧：阿，原来赛车也要遵守路上的交通规则啊？
Aaron：Of course.没有规矩，哪成方圆啊！
[采访王睿]
在（汽车拉力赛的）行驶路段，车手就要遵守当地的交通规则，如果有违反当地的交通规则，大会会给予一些处罚，第一次有可能是警告，第二次有可能是罚款，第三次可能会在车手的整个比赛的时间里面加罚一些时间进去，
[短片]
行驶路段，Road Section，常被简称为RS，他是连接两个特殊赛段 Special Stage之间的路段，这个阶段，并不计算成绩。
但是它对车手有一些特殊要求，除了刚才说的要遵守当地交通规则，还有一个Target Time，即时间限制，这个时间是赛会根据某个平均时速制定的。既不能早到，也不能迟到，不然的话就会被罚时time penaltie。因为早到的话，车手肯定是超速行驶了，不安全。而晚到又会打乱赛会的安排。你看早到比迟到罚得还要狠。看来组委会对比赛安全还是很重视的。
[短片]
除了Special Stage（SS），Road Section（RS）两个路段外，现在世界拉力锦标赛WRC还推出了Super Special Stage即超级特殊赛段，简称SSS。
WRC历史上的Super Special Stage起源于澳大利亚站，这个路段是为了方便电视转播而设置的。超级特殊赛段大多是在人工搭建的赛道上进行，而且长度通常只有2公里，是整个比赛中最短的Special Stage，但对观众的吸引力却是最高的，因为观众可以轻松的坐在观众席上，欣赏传統的RALLY比赛中看不到的两车同场竞技的画面，而且不必遭受风沙之苦。
主持人
慧慧：Aaron，要是你开着赛车，我就坐你旁边。
Aaron：为什么啊？
慧慧：因为我可以什么都不做，还可以享受一下赛车的刺激！
Aaron：你想得到美，没那么简单的。The one beside the driver is called co-driver.
慧慧：Co-driver？
Aaron：对，就是领航员，他可不能闲着，过车瘾的
[采访王睿]
大家看到这个座椅呢是领航员坐的座椅，我们称，英文里面称Co-driver，领航员在比赛当中，是车手的一个助手，在比赛之前有一个勘路的活动，在这个活动里面，领航员会记录赛段的一些弯道啊，一些坡度的一些情况，在比赛的时候，他就用语言就报给车手，车手就可以提前去判断，车手和领航员之间的通话呢是通过通话器，因为赛车里面的的噪音很大，我们头盔里面有通话器，我们来沟通，现在这边这个是领航表，他就可以通过这个领航表完成他的一些工作。
他有一本路书，有些地方我们是不认识路的，在其他的城市比赛，我们是不认识路的，
我们会根据这个路书去找我们要去的地方，大会就不用每一个车手每一个车手的带，我们就可以照着路书走，在赛段里面我们会用自己在勘路的时候做这个路书，去完成比赛，领航员总的来说就是车手的一个路书。
[短片]
拉力赛中的领航员，英文里叫Co-driver，就是副驾驶的意思，而在航海，或者航空方面，领航员则叫Navigator，以前Netscape公司的Web浏览器名字就叫Navigator。
在赛前有一个勘路的工作，就是驾驶员和领航员一起去熟悉比赛路段的情况，也叫做Pre-rally recce, recce是搜索，侦察的意思。在这个过程中，领航员要在记事本Pace notes上记录路面情况，比如弯角，石坑，岩石等。在第二天的比赛中，他就能预先告诉车手路面的情况。这样车手就能集中精力来操控赛车。
车手和领航员之间是完全信任的关系，否则哪个车手敢放心地在比赛中以150公里的时速狂飙呢？
