Q&A round 5
What do you think are the most popular sports in China?

Soccer 英式足球 【只有美國人會把英式足球叫做soccer，因為他們還有個美式足球；英國人就只有football這一個稱呼足球的方式】

American football 美式足球，美式橄欖球

Ping Pong 乒乓球

Badminton 羽毛球

Hand-eye coordination 手眼協調
Squash 壁球 【這個是Julie自己從事的小眾運動，發源于英國】

Shuttlecock / Birdie 羽毛球的球

Does it [birdie] have anything to do with birds?

It's said the invention of the shuttlecock or birdie was inspired by that of a bird, so yeah, I won't be surprised if that was the case. 據說羽毛球的發明確實是受到了某種鳥類的啟發，所以【如果這是事實的話】，我不會覺得奇怪。

No wonder in Chinese it's called '羽毛球'!

No wonder 難怪

Adam介紹“與鯊魚共舞”的經歷：
What they do is you are in a scuba suit, you have the oxygen tank, you have everything... You are inside a cage and the cage is put under water, so the shark swims around you and the only thing that is stopping the shark from eating you is the cage in between you guys.

Are you sure you really want to do it? Sounds really thrilling but absolutely adventurous!
Thrilling 刺激的，激動人心的
