美国人做什么运动?丰富多彩Sports

　　In many parts of the world, there are four seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter%26#46; In the U%26#46;S%26#46;, there are only three: football, basketball and baseball%26#46; That's not completely true, but almost%26#46; In every season, Americans have a ball%26#46; If you want to know what season it is, just look at what people are playing%26#46; For many Americans, sports do not just occupy the sidelines%26#46; They take center court%26#46;
　　世界上的许多地方，一年有四季：春、夏、秋、冬。美国，却只有三季：足球、篮球和棒球季。这并非完全正确，但也差得不远了。每一个季节，美国人都有乐趣。若你想知道此季为何，看看人们正在打什么球就行了。对于多数美国人而言，运动并非只是一旁站的小消遣，它是生活中很重要的一环。

　　Besides "the big three" sports, Americans play a variety of other sports%26#46; In warm weather, people enjoy water sports%26#46; Lovers of surfing, sailing and scuba diving flock to the ocean%26#46; Swimmers and water skiers also revel in the wet stuff%26#46; Fishermen try their luck in ponds, lakes and rivers%26#46; In winter sportsmen delight in freezing fun%26#46; From the first snowfall, skiers hit the slopes%26#46; Frozen ponds and ice rinks become playgrounds for skating and hockey%26#46; People play indoor sports whatever the weather%26#46; Racquetball, weightlifting and bowling are year-round activities%26#46;
　　除了这“三大运动”，美国人还做许多其它的运动。天热时，他们喜欢水上运动。冲浪、驾帆船和潜水的爱好者群集于海中。游泳和滑水者，也纵情于水中。渔夫在池塘、湖泊和河川里试他们的运气。冬季，运动员在冰天雪地里也玩得很开心。从下雪的头一天起，滑雪者便登上雪坡。结了冰的池塘和溜冰场成了溜冰和冰上曲棍球的场地。不论气候如何，人们都从事户内运动。回力球、举重和保龄球都是全年性的活动。
