新教材·英语　必修·第二册[译林版] Section Ⅳ　Extended reading & Project Finding a balance: my tai chi experience 找到平衡：我的太极拳体验 When my friend first suggested that we join the new Tai Chi Club at school, I hesitated. 当朋友一开始建议我们参加学校新成立的太极拳俱乐部时，我犹豫了。 I always believed tai chi was for old people. 我过去一直觉得太极拳是老年人的运动。 After the first class, however, I had to admit that I had been wrong about tai chi. 不过，上完第一节课后，我不得不承认我之前对太极拳的认识是错误的。 It was amazing! 太极拳实在是太神奇了！ One year later, I can honestly say it has had a huge effect on me physically and mentally. 一年后，我可以诚实地说太极拳对我的身心都产生了巨大的影响。 Just as importantly, practising tai chi has inspired me to explore the Chinese culture behind it. 同样重要的是，练习太极拳还激励了我去探索其背后的中国文化。 词句自测 ①hesitate vi. 犹豫，迟疑 ②admit vt.& vi. 承认；招认；准许进入；准许加入 ③inspire vt. 激励，鼓舞；启发思考；使产生(感觉或情感) ④explore vt.& vi. 探究，探索；勘探，勘察 ⑤that we join the new Tai Chi Club at school是suggested的宾语从句，从句的谓语动词用的是虚拟语气“(should)＋动词原形”，其中should可以省略。 The first few tai chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves really caught my imagination, with descriptive names like “white crane spreading its wings” and “golden rooster standing on one leg”． 前几节太极拳课非常有趣，也不难学，而且让我着迷的是，这些动作有着像“白鹤亮翅”“金鸡独立”这样画面感很强的名称。 When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from, he told me about the history of tai chi. 当我问教练，这些有趣的名称从何而来时，他告诉了我太极拳的历史。 Zhang Sanfeng, a 13th­century Taoist, was said to have invented tai chi after drawing inspiration from a fight between a snake and a bird. 传说13世纪时，一个叫张三丰的道士从蛇与鸟的搏斗中吸取灵感，创立了太极拳。 词句自测 ⑥crane n. 鹤 ⑦rooster n. 雄鸡 ⑧inspiration n. 灵感；鼓舞人心的人(或事物) ⑨sb be said to have done sth意为“据说某人做过某事”。 However, nowadays people tend to believe that Chen Wangting, a 17th­century master of Chinese martial arts, developed tai chi based on martial arts skills. 不过，现在人们往往认为，太极拳是由17世纪的中国武术大师陈王廷在武术技能的基础上改编的。 No wonder some tai chi moves are named after animals—Chinese martial arts have a long­standing practice of imitating animals. 太极拳的部分招式以动物来命名也就不足为奇了——中国武术中模拟动物的做法由来已久。 Chen Wangting's original set of moves is
