高中英语口语考试：Shoot hoops 打篮球 Larry和李华要放三天长假，他们正在打算假期的安排。李华会学到两个常用语：shoot hoops和rookie。 LL: I can”t believe we have a three-day weekend. I haven”t had a break from school for so long. LH: 是啊，要放假了，肯定得好好玩玩。 LL: What are you planning on doing over the long summer? LH: 不知道啊，不过，今日放学后我和Tracy要去吃饭，看电影，你要不要一起来? LL: Sorry Li Hua. I have plans tonight. I”m going to shoot hoops with Jeffrey and Tom. LH: Shoot hoops? 那是什么? LL: Shoot hoops is a casual way of saying to play basketball. LH: 喔，原来to shoot hoops就是去打篮球。 LL: Yes. In basketball, the main goal is to shoot hoops. If you are only playing basketball with friends or alone, in a casual manner, you can say that you are going to shoot hoops. LH: 我明白了，打篮球主要目的是投篮得分，所以要去打篮球时就说，I”m going to shoot hoops. 那假如我要去踢足球，可以说，I”m going to kick balls吗? LL: No, no, no. No one says they”re going to kick balls when they”re going to play soccer. This way of saying to play a sport is only used in basketball. LH: 哦，原来只有篮球可以这样说。对了，Larry, our school is going to shoot hoops with our rival school tomorrow. We have to win! 我这样说行吗？ LL: Well, you generally don”t say shoot hoops when you are talking about a basketball game or competition. Shoot hoops is only used for casual basketball playing. LH: 好吧，不过Larry, 熟悉你这么久，我好象从来没见你打过篮球，藏而不露嘛！ 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/61ac184adeccda38376baf1ffc4ffe473368fde8.html
