与健身、运动有关的英语词汇，本文主要内容关键词为：英语词汇论文，此文献不代表本站观点，内容供学术参考，文章仅供参考阅读下载。
在英语词汇教学中，经常会接触到体育方面的词汇。学生对某些常用词掌握得比较好。如：play football,play volleyball,play tennis,play basketball,go swimming,go bike-riding,go hiking,go ice-skating等等。在用英语讲到体育的话题时，学生用得最多的也是这些比较熟悉的词；而对运动方面其它的常用词汇则比较生疏。比如，有氧健身运动，有氧健身操，用英语怎么说，知道的同学并不多。其英文是aerobics，为目前一种流行的运动方式，可以增强心、肺功能，运动时通常伴有音乐。相关例句：She goes to aerobics twice a week.（她一星期做两次有氧健身运动。）He often goes to the gym and does aerobics.（他经常去体育馆做有氧健身操。）
为了健康，就要锻炼；健身锻炼英文叫work out,work在这里和工作无关，此短语的英文解释是exercise to improve physical fitness。一般来说，体育运动分为两种，一种是individual sports（个人运动），如golf,tennis等。另一种叫team sports（团队运动），如basketball,volleyball等。体育锻炼除了强身健体，还可以起到保持体形的作用，英文是stay in shape。如：I'm off to the gym.I've got to stay in shape,you know.（我要去体育馆了。我要做到保持体型。）
以下是经常出现的有关球类、田径类和其它运动方面的英语词汇：
这里要说明一个词，baseball。打棒球的场地4角设有垒位(base)，攻防队员在本垒上用棒球棒（击球一端较粗，英文是bat）击球后，依次经一、二、三垒安全返回本垒后为得分。英语叫baseball是强调打球时的跑垒；中文翻译为棒球，侧重打球时用的器具，即拿球棒用力击球，也点出了baseball的运动特点。
以上是体育、健身方面的词汇。下面是询问别人有关锻炼、运动的问题时常用的句子：
1.How often do youwork out?
2.How much time do you spend atthe gym?
3.Howlong do you spend working out?
4.Howwell do you play baseball?
5.How good are you at sports?
6.Do you have a regular fitness program?How often do you exercise?
7.Do you ever go to a gym?How often do you go?What do you do there?
8.Do you play any sports?How often do you play?
9.How often do you take long walks?Where do you go?
10.What else do you do to keep fit?
11.What kinds of sports do you play?
12.What kinds of exercise do you do?
以下是谈论自己运动方面的情况及对锻炼的看法时经常使用的英语句子：
1.I jog（注：jog v慢跑。）to stay in shape./I do aerobics./I go to the health club.
2.I don't exercise very often.
3.I love to exercise.I usually work out every day.
4.My favorite sport is basketball/volleyball/football.
5.I could meet some new people when I play sports.
6.People play sports because they want to★keep fit（注：keep fit保持健康。）/live an active life.

9.Playing sports can help us to relax.
下面讲两个和体育运动有关的英语习语(idiom)。先说play cricket（打板球）。板球至少在300多年前就在英国开始流行，板球比赛是英国重要体育活动。英国人如果认为某件事很重要，会说as significant as a game of cricket（像板球比赛一样重要）。英国人打板球时讲究体育精神和绅士风度，所以play cricket的比喻意义有遵守比赛规则；行动光明正大的意思。同理，习语not cricket就比喻没有绅士风度，不光明正大或没有信用。如：It would have been easy to cheat,but it wouldn't have been cricket.（行骗容易但不光彩。）再比如：I didn't expect that he would take so long to pay me back mv money.It'S just not cricket!（我没想到他这么久才把钱还给我。真不讲信用！）
再一个习语是play ball，表示球赛开始。例如：When the umpire calls“plsy ball”,the game begins.（裁判喊“开球”，比赛即开始。）play ball另外一个意思是同意按某人的建议去做，（与某人合作）。举例：We wanted to get the union's agreement on the new procedures,but they wouldn't play ball(with us).中文意思：我们想就这一新程序与工会达成协议，但是他们不愿意（跟我们）合作。需要说明一点，play ball与某人合作的意思属非正式用语。
英语中和运动有关的词汇还很多，学习时需注意积累。体文对常见的运动、健身方面的词汇进行归纳和讲解，列举英语口语中谈论这方面话题常见的句子，最后讲到两个和体育运动有关的习语；希望对正在学习英语的同学和其他英语爱好者有所帮助。
