I’ve made a new friend recently. Her name is Susan, and she’s from South Africa.
我最近交了一个新朋友。她叫苏珊，来自南非。
How did you meet her?
你是怎么认识她的？
We met over Wechat. She has very cool photos on her social media. The photos of her hometown look amazing.
我们是通过微信认识的。她的社交媒体上有很多很酷的照片。她家乡的照片看起来棒极了。
What’s her hometown called?
她的家乡叫什么？
It’s called Cape Town. It's in the southwest of South Africa. She says it’s very green and windy.
它叫开普敦。位于南非的西南部。她说开普敦是绿色城市、风很多。
The city was built by European settlers, and there’s a big mountain that overlooks the city.
这座城市是由欧洲殖民者建造的，有一座大山俯瞰着这座城市。
The mountain is called Table Mountain because it’s flat at the top.
山的名字叫桌山，因为它的山顶是平的。
That sounds interesting. What are the people there like?
听起来很有趣。那里的人怎么样？
Well, Susan says South Africa is very mixed. There are black people and white people and Indian people.
嗯，苏珊说南非的情况很混杂。有黑人、白人和印度人。
Susan is white. She says her ancestors were from Britain. Many languages are spoken in South Africa, but she only speaks English.
苏珊是白人。她说她的祖先来自英国。南非有多种语言，但她只会说英语。
Didn’t South Africa host the Football World Cup a few years ago? They must play football a lot then, right?
南非不是几年前主办了世界杯足球赛吗？他们一定经常踢足球，对吗？
I think they play football, but it’s not as popular as rugby.
我认为他们踢足球，但足球不像橄榄球那么受欢迎。
Rugby? What’s rugby?
橄榄球？什么是橄榄球？
Rugby is a sport with two teams, and the players carry the ball in their arms and throw it at each other.
橄榄球是一项有两队参加的运动，队员们把球抱在怀里，相互投掷。
The ball is not round, and the players push each other. I don't really understand the rules. I think it’s very complicated.
球不是圆的，球员们互相推搡。我真的不懂规则。我认为那很复杂。
That sounds like a very strange sport indeed. Is it only South Africa that plays it?
听起来确实是一项非常奇怪的运动。只有南非才有这项运动吗？
No, it’s also popular in Britain and in other former British colonies, like Australia and New Zealand.
不，在英国和其他前英国殖民地也很流行，比如澳大利亚和新西兰。
