Y 大家好，我是楊晨。

P 我是Patrick。

Y & P 今天我們...

Y Patrick，你不要跟我搶著說話，這是犯規。要是賽跑你這就是搶跑，false start!

P I apologize. In track and field, if an athlete committed two false starts, he/she will be disqualified.

Y 兩次false starts，就要被罰下場。

P 剛才你也是false starts為什么只有我道歉？

Y Well, let's move on, shall we?

P OK, anyway, today we are going to talk about sprinting events.

Y Sprinting events是田徑比賽中的短跑項目。我們先來講起跑。在起跑線，我們會聽到發令員喊

“各就位”

P On your mark，

Y 預備

P get set,

Y 沒有發令槍就喊“跑”

P ：Go!

Y: 正式比賽當然都用發令槍了。

P ：A starting gun is used in official track meets.

Y 起跑對短跑運動員很重要。

P：A runner's start is crucial, especially for sprinting events like the 100-m dash. You need to react to the gun fast， but not too fast; otherwise you will commit a false start.

Y 槍響了要迅速沖出去，但起跑太快，據說快于0.1秒就是搶跑了。你看，我懂得很多吧。信不信我跑得比你快。

P 不相信。

Y 那我們出去比一比！Lets race.

P OK. Lets race and see what happens.

Announcer: On your mark, get set, go...

Y： I win, I win!!!

P: No, you didn't, you cheated! False start.
