黑马真的是black horse吗?-Are you a fan of Ning’s?
-You bet. I never seen anyone so gifted like him. He’s a natural.
当然啦,我从来没见过比他更有天赋的人了,他真是天生的“泳者”。-I agree. But the other young swimmer did a great job. Might be a dark horse.
我也觉得,不过另一个小将表现的很好啊,他可能是匹黑马呢。-Well, he sure is something. But I’m afraid there’s a lot to catch up if he want to compete with Ning.
好吧,他确实不错,不过我觉得他想要赢小宁的话还是差得远呢。Talk about the game!
精彩绝伦还是无聊透顶?-What’s happening? Is the American team taking the lead?
咋回事,美国队领先了?-Sadly, yes. I can’t believe we just lost a score like that.
哎是的,我们怎么就这样失分了呢!-Oh, wait. Shoot, and…goal! One for China!
哦不等等……射门,进球啦!中国队得分!-Yeah, now it’s 2-2, the game is about to be over, looks like it’s gonna end up a tie.
耶,现在2比2平,比赛就要结束了,看来要平局啊~-Don’t say that yet… We are doing so well, might take this one down. A last-gasp goal will be perfect.
别急,我们目前表现很好,很可能拿下这局,如果绝杀的话可就太棒了!!怎么样?这个奥运干货是不是rio实用?雅思口语紧贴时事,小伙伴们在备考时,不要老盯着书本,也要follow身边的新闻热点哦!
