情景对话:

A: Five, six, seven, eight ...wow, you bring so many clubs.

B: Yes. They are different kinds of clubs with differentpurposes.

A: How different?

B: A "set" of golf clubs is no more than fourteen clubs. Itincludes several iron clubs, several wood clubs and a putter.

A: Must I carry all of these clubs every time I play golf?

B: No, you needn't. It depends on your preferences. As yousee, I have only eight ones in my set.

A: Oh, I see. Then, what's this wooden stick?

B: It's called a tee. For the first drive, you may put the golfball on the tee, and then push the tee on the ground. Youmay have a try now.

A: OK. Is it all right to put it this way?

B: Yes. Well, I'll teach you how to tee off.

A: Great.

B: Here you are, this number-three iron for you. Hold itlike this, interlock your fingers and position yourself...

okay.. .watch the ball, swing the club and hit it as hardas you can!

A: Hey! Oh, no, no! It lands in the bunker.

B: Don't sweat it. Perhaps you may practice teeing off at thedriving range before you play.

A: All right.

参考译文:

B:是啊。每种球杆都有不同的用处。

A:有什么不同的用处呢?

B:一套高尔夫球杆多有十四支球杆。其中包括几支铁杆、几只木杆，还有一支推杆。

A:我每次打高尔夫球时，必须得把这些球杆都带上吗?

B:不用都带上。带什么要看你的喜好了。正像你看到的，我带的这一套里只有八支球杆。

A:哦，我明白了。那么，这支木棒是什么啊?

B:这是球座。*次开球的时候，你要把高尔夫球放在这个球座上，接着把这个球座插在地上。现在你可以试试。

A:好的。这样放可以吗?

B:可以。那我现在就教你开球了。

A:太好了。

B:给你这支三号铁杆。像这样拿着它，手指交又，站好方向……好的……看着球，挥动球杆，用力击球!

A:嘿!哦，不，不!球掉到沙地里了。

B:别沮丧.或许在你正式打球之前，应该先在练习场多练习一下开球。

A:好吧。
