“只工作不玩耍,聰明的孩子也變傻”是一句在美國家喻戶曉的諺語,其他國家也有類似的說法。的確,每個人都需要娛樂。要保持良好的體魄并享受生活的樂趣,就不能只埋頭于工作作。
人人都有放松的方式。也許最常見的方式是參加體育運動。行團體運動,如棒球、籃球和足球;也有個人運動,如高爾夫球和游泳。此外,徒步旅行、垂釣、滑雪和爬山對那些喜愛戶外活動的人有著很大的吸引力。
下國際象棋、玩撲克牌和跳舞是許多人喜愛的室內娛樂活動。
無論是參加乒乓球這類快速運動,還是聚精會神地坐在橋牌桌旁,抑或是在一個秋高氣爽的下午漫步林間,這些都無關緊要。重要的是每個人都應不時地放松一下自己,參加某種形式的娛樂活動。
Recreation
\"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.\" is a popular saying in the United States. Other countries have similar sayings. It is true that all of us need recreation. We cannot work all the time if we are going to maintain good heath and enjoy life.
Everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular way is to participate in sports. There are team sports, such as baseball, basketeball and football. There are individual sports, also, such as golf and swimming. In addition, hiking, fishing, skiing and mountain climbing have a great attraction for people who like to be outdoors.
Chess, card-playing and dancing are forms of indoor recreation enjoyed by many people.
It doesn't matter whether we play a fast game of ping-pong, concentrate over the bridge table, or go walking through the woods on a brisk autumn afternoon. It is important for everyone to relax from time to time and enjoy some form of recreation.
