Bowling

Alright, so the first thing that you need to know about bowling is that you should never cross that line where the lane begins.

好了，打保龄球首先要知道的是，绝对不能越过球道起点的那条线。

Why not?

为什么不行？

Because they polish and oil it to make the ball slide down. If you step there you will slip and fall.

因为球道打了蜡和油，让球滑行。你要是踩上去会滑倒的。

OK, so I got my bowling shoes, my ball, our names on the scorecard, so now, how the heck do I play this?

好，我穿了保龄球鞋，拿了球，计分板上也写了名字，那现在，到底要怎么玩啊？

You throw the ball down the lane and try to knock down all the pins. If you do, that is called a strike. If you don’t knock them all down on the first try, then you get a chance to get the spare. After ten frames, we add up the points and see who has the most. Three hundred is a perfect score, but very hard to get.

把球扔到球道上，尽量击倒所有球瓶。全倒就叫全倒，第一次没全倒，还有机会补中。打完十局，算总分，看谁最高。三百分是满分，但很难拿到。

Got it! OK, I’m gonna give it a go. Oh no! My ball went in the gutter!

懂了！好，我要试一下。哎呀！球滚到沟里去了！

I told you, its harder than you think. Now let a pro show you how it’s done.

我早说了，比你想的难。现在让专业人士给你演示一下。
