Jim: Last night's game was amazing. Li is a fantastic go player.
吉姆:昨天晚上的比赛真是太好看了。李真是一个围棋高手。
Bill:I was totally thrilled. His opponent is also very skillful.
比尔:我也特别激动。他的对手也很强。
Jim: Yes, at one point, it seemed the white pieces gained an upper hand. I almost feared Li would lose. Then he reversed the situation in several moves.
吉姆:是啊,有一会儿似乎白子占了上风。我几乎担心李赢不了了。然后他用几步就扭转了局面。
Bill: Sometimes, the real situation is not really as it seems, especially when veteran players can anticipate the opponent's next move.
比尔:有时候真实情况并不像我们看到的那样,尤其是当围棋老手能够预测对手下一步棋的时候。
Jim: Do you mean they place lures or such kind of strategy, like in real battle?
吉姆:你的意思是说他们会像在真正的战争中,故意用误导对手之类的策略吗?
Bill: Yes, playing go taxes one's ability to think, judge, and apply strategy.
比尔:对,下围棋真的是需要具备思考、判断和采取策略的能力。
Jim: That sounds complicated. Sometimes, I really wonder how a board with several horizontal and vertical lines, blacks and white stones could produce so many interesting patterns.
吉姆:听起来还真复杂。有时我真是感叹一个布满横竖线条的板和黑白两色棋子怎么能产生这么多有趣的格局。
