01 个人爱好

at “love me, love my dog”. my girlfriend is chinese.

特里：我嘛，当然更喜欢中国象棋。人家都说爱屋及乌，因为我的女朋友是中国人。

simon: really? are you good at it? i heard that chinese chess is very interesting. unfortunately i can't play.

西蒙：是吗？那你是高手吗？我一直觉得中国象棋很有意思，可是我不会。

terry: i myself am a rookie, too. to be honest, chinese chess is easier than chess. but the pieces are allowed a larger space. in china, there are many people playing chinese chess, so it's easy to find a teacher.

特里：我还是菜鸟啦。说实话，相对于国际象棋而言，中国象棋要容易得多，但是棋子的活动空间很大。在中国，下象棋的人很多，很容易找到老师的。

simon: you are right. i often see many eldly people playing chinese chess beside the road.

西蒙：是啊。我经常在马路边上看见许多老年人在下象棋。

terry: commonly, the game between two masters can also make spectators nervous. you must keep thinking all the time to guarantee that you will not lose.

特里：通常两个高手之间的对弈能让旁观者都感到紧张。你必须得不停地思考才能保证你不会输掉。

simon: yeah. terry, could you teach me some rules about chinese chess? i'm very interested in it.
