Tennis is one of the most popular sports in the world and has many stars who can earn millions of dollars a year just for playing tennis. Tennis is very exciting to watch, even on TV. Watching tennis is a little bit different from other sports though.
网球是世界上最受欢迎的运动之一，很多网球明星每年仅靠打网球就能收入几百万美元。看网球比赛很刺激，即便是在电视上看。看网球比赛与其他比赛有点儿不同。

Turn your beeper and mobile phone off before you enter even if you are expecting an important call. You cannot make or receive a call during play.
即使你在等一个很重要的电话，进场前也要将你的BP机和手机关掉。你不能在比赛期间打电话或接电话。
When the players are actually playing, you should not make any noise at all. You should wait until each point is finished before clapping or cheering. The staff will ask you to leave if you make any noise during play.
运动员正式比赛时，不要发出任何声音。等每一个比分结束后再鼓掌或欢呼。如果在比赛期间制造噪音，工作人员会让你离开。
Most tennis stars are sensitive about people taking their pictures without their permission. Don‘t take flash pictures when they are playing or you could lose your camera!
多数网球明星对没有获其允许被拍照很敏感。不要在选手比赛时给他们拍照，否则你的照相机可能被没收！
Even if you don‘t like one of the players, you should not boo and hiss at them. Clap politely when they win a point even if you don‘t want them to win.
即使你不喜欢某个选手也不要对他们发出嘘声，就算你不想让他们赢，也要在他们得分时给以礼貌的掌声。
Dialogue （对话）
Jack: How was the tennis match Jean?
Jean: Fantastic! It was so exciting to watch.
Jack: Did you have good seats?
Jean: That was the best part. A scalper sold us tickets for seats right at near the courtside.
Jack: I bet they cost a lot though!
Jean: True, but it was worth it. We could see the players so clearly without using the binoculars.
Jack: So who won the match?
Jean: To tell you the truth, I don‘t know. I was so busy clapping and cheering that I forgot all about the score!
Jack: Sounds like you had a great time Jean.
Jean: Next time you should come with us. We can practice our English while the players practice their tennis!
Jack: I would love to – don‘t forget to call me before you go!
Jean: It‘s easy to forget the score but hard to forget you Jack!
杰克：珍，网球比赛怎么样？
珍：好极了！太刺激了。
杰克：你坐的位置好吗？
珍：是最好的座位。一个票贩子卖给了我们靠近赛场的位置。
杰克：可我打赌一定花了不少钱。
珍：没错，但很值。我不用望远镜就可以很清楚地看到选手。
杰克：谁赢了比赛？
珍：说老实话，我不知道。我忙着鼓掌、欢呼，把分数给忘了。
杰克：听起来你很过得很愉快，珍。
珍：下次你应该跟我们一起去。我们可以在选手比赛的时候练习英语。
杰克；我很想去，去之前别忘了给我打电话！
珍：忘了分数容易忘了你却很难，杰克！
