Do you girls play any sports, Alison?Alison: Well, Im in the uni hockey team actually.S

4、arah: Yeah. and I play volleyball. We play tennis on Saturday mornings as well.Larry: So, do you play against the teachers as well?Alison: No. It doesnt seem to be what older women want to do. I think your teachers are just trying desperately to stave off old age!Sarah: That, or pretend they are sti

5、ll young!Tamer: Anyway, I think it would be a good idea to organise a mini-league. You know, different national groups.Larry: I think different departments would be better. It would be really good for bonding.Loud Drunken Singing from Another TableLarry: Oh no. its the rugby club having another piss

6、-up!Sarah: Yeah. theyre always getting drunk and singing rude songs and stuff.Tamer: Well. its all part of the tradition, isnt it. they behave like hooligans in the bar, but theyre supposed to be gentlemen outside. I mean, its mostly middle-class students who play rugby, isnt it?Sarah: Yeah. what is

7、 it they say? “Soccer is a game for gentlemen, played by hooligans, and rugby is a game for hooligans played by gentlemen.” My flatmate told me that football is a traditionally working-class game.Tamer: Yes. Rugby is a really rough game. It looks it anyway.Alison: What is rugby, anyway? Is it like w

8、hat they play in America?Larry: No, no. its only the ball thats the same shape. basically, they have no protection like they do in American football. no helmets and padding and stuff. it looks really scary.Tamer: Yeah. rugby players get to act out their violent fantasies on the rugby field, get drun

9、k and behave like hooligans in the bar and then go to work as doctors and lawyers on Monday morning.Larry: Yes. whereas when football players do that they call them hooligans!Alison: But I guess its good. I mean, at least it controls their aggression.Sarah: Its great. all the opportunities we have t

10、o play sports here. I mean, they even have womens rugby, football and cricket teams. did you know that?Tamer: What are the rules of cricket, by the way?Larry: I dont think we should even go there! You have to be English, born-and-bred to understand them.Sarah: Or from the Commonwealth countries. Als

11、o, Ive heard that in India and Pakistan they are even madder about cricket than the English!Alison: Yeah. and in Australia and South Africa too.在學(xué)生會(huì)酒吧簡(jiǎn)：嗨，伙計(jì)們。你們看起來無精打采的，你們干什么了?塔墨爾：我們跟一幫教師在體育館里踢5人足球。福斯特教師從教職工中撮合了一支球隊(duì)，我從學(xué)生中挑了幾個(gè)人。教師把我們打了個(gè)8比2 。簡(jiǎn)：但是他們都?xì)q數(shù)大了，最起碼都三四十了!拉里：他們是上歲數(shù)了，但是他們身體強(qiáng)壯!福斯特教師每天騎自行車上班，沃克教師每

12、天午飯時(shí)間去跑步，貝克博士打壁球!而他們個(gè)個(gè)都得有四十五六了。簡(jiǎn)：是啊，不過還有一個(gè)原因。你們這幫人抽煙，教師們不抽。而且，我估計(jì)你們也有點(diǎn)兒不好意思跟他們沖撞，因?yàn)樗麄兪悄銈兊慕處煟瑢?duì)嗎?塔墨爾：也許吧。但是我打賭假如在正規(guī)的足球場(chǎng)上，我們能讓他們忙得團(tuán)團(tuán)轉(zhuǎn)!你們女生搞什么體育活動(dòng)嗎，艾莉森?艾莉森：我是曲棍球校隊(duì)的。薩拉：我打排球。我們星期六早上還打網(wǎng)球。拉里：你們也跟教師對(duì)陣嗎?艾莉森：沒有，歲數(shù)大的女人似乎不喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng)。我估計(jì)你們教師也無非是在毫無希望地延緩衰老。薩拉：是這樣，或者就是硬裝年輕!塔墨爾：無論如何，我認(rèn)為組織一個(gè)小聯(lián)賽還是一個(gè)好主意。比方，按國(guó)籍劃分隊(duì)伍。拉里：我覺得不同院

13、系之間比賽要好一些，這樣有利于交流。從另一張桌子傳來大聲的醉醺醺的歌聲拉里：哦，不，橄欖球俱樂部又來狂飲了!薩拉：是啊，他們總是酩酊大醉而且唱些粗俗的歌曲什么的。塔墨爾：有什么方法呢?這是傳統(tǒng)，不是嗎?他們?cè)诰瓢衫锵窳髅?，但出去后卻像紳士。實(shí)際上打橄欖球的都是些中產(chǎn)階級(jí)子弟，不是嗎?薩拉：對(duì)，他們?cè)趺凑f來著?“足球是流氓們玩的紳士運(yùn)動(dòng);橄欖球是紳士們玩的流氓運(yùn)動(dòng)。”我的寓友告訴我，足球在歷史上一直是無產(chǎn)階級(jí)的游戲。塔墨爾：對(duì)。橄欖球是一種非常野蠻的比賽。最起碼看起來是這樣。艾莉森：橄欖球到底是怎么回事?跟美國(guó)人玩的那種一樣嗎?拉里：不，不一樣，只不過球的形狀相似罷了。大致說來，英式橄欖球沒有美式橄欖球那么多保護(hù)裝備，沒有頭盔和護(hù)肩等等，看起來挺瘮人的。塔墨爾：對(duì)，英式橄欖球隊(duì)員在球場(chǎng)上可以發(fā)泄自己的夢(mèng)想，在酒吧里像流氓一樣喝個(gè)大醉，然后星期一早上照常上班去當(dāng)他們的醫(yī)生律師。拉里：是啊，可足球運(yùn)發(fā)
