(Bowling lane sounds)
P: Hey Yang Chen, Let’s go bowling.
Y: 我不会打保龄球。
P: Well don’t worry, I’ll teach you how to bowl. First, hold the ball in your left hand.
Y: Whoa, 好重啊，差点闪了我的腰。
P: It’s not that heavy. Walk up to the line at the top of the bowling lane with the ball and center yourself in the lane.
Y: Okay, 站到保龄球道中间。
P: Now, hold the ball with your right hand only. Swing it behind you, and then swing it forward and let it go.
Y: Here it goes! (Thud of ball on the lane sound of going in the gutter).
P: Gutter ball.
Y: Gutter ball?
P: A gutter ball is when your ball goes into the gutter,
Y: 沟球。
P: And since you didn’t hit anything, you don’t get any points, but you do get another chance.
Y: Okay, let me try again. (Sound of ball hitting lane and going in the gutter) Oh no, another gutter ball.
P: Maybe it would help if you watched me bowl and see what I do?
Y: Okay, Patrick.
P: Watch closely, Yang Chen. Here it goes! (Sound of ball hitting floor, rolling down lane, hitting pins)
Y: Good job, Patrick!
P: It was just OK. I hit seven bowling pins out of ten bowling pins.
Y: 你打倒了七个球瓶。Nice!
P: I still have to hit three more. In bowling, a player gets two turns. I have another chance to knock the remaining three pins down.
Y: 你要把剩下的三个打到。 Come on, Patrick! you can do it!
P: Here it goes again! (Sound of ball hitting floor, rolling down lane, hitting pins)
