Conversation One
对话一
W: I can't understand why there are so many extreme sports lovers nowadays.
女：我很难理解为什么现在有那么多极限运动的爱好者。
M: In the current society, more and more people are city-born and city-bred. They want to find a way to explore their potential and go back to nature. Extreme sports just offer this opportunity.
男：当今社会，越来越多的人生在城市，长在城市。人们迫切想要寻找一种方式激发自己的潜力，回归自然。而极限运动就是个不错的方式。
W: I see your point here. (8) But extreme sports are really dangerous; those who are not very skillful or experienced are easily get hurt, let alone...
女：我明白你的意思。可我觉得极限运动很危险，那些没有丰富经验的人很容易受伤，更别说......
M: Yes, you have a point here. On the other hand, that is the charm of the sports. (10) They are challenging and demanding. Extreme sports also provide more individualized ways of pushing the person to his or her limits.
男：你说的也有道理。可这也正在这项运动的魅力所在。这是一项富有挑战性而且高要求的运动。极限运动能够以独特的方式帮助人们挑战自己的极限。
W: But don't you think they are so individualized that they are easy to go on an abnormal way?
女：可是你不觉得极限运动过于个性化而容易让人变得极端吗？
M: Maybe we should be more optimistic about their future. And we have to admit that extreme sports can also enable people to face fears.
男：我觉得咱们应该乐观点看这个问题。不得不承认，极限运动的确能够帮助人们面对内心的恐惧。
W: That is only one part of the picture. These sports can also revel in individuals' isolation—they don't have to rely on anybody else.
女：这只是片面的看法。极限运动也会导致人们沉溺于孤立的个人主义之中——他们无须依靠任何人。
M: That is just how it works. There is no winning and losing, and each individual is really competing against himself.
男：这就是极限运动的作用。其实世上并无成败，人们需要战胜的是自己。
W: But in reality, we develop ourselves by working with and against others. Traditional sports provide a way for individuals to push themselves through the challenge of competition, or work together as a team. (11) Extreme sports only encourage a focus on individual performance, rather than pushing the limits of human achievement.
女：但在现实生活中，我们通过与人合作，超越别人来提升自己。传统的运动能帮助人们通过激烈的竞争或者提高团队协作能力。而极限运动只会增强人们的个人主义而不能激发人的潜能。
