01 个人爱好(3/4)
at “love me, love my dog”. my girlfriend is chinese.
特里：我嘛，当然更喜欢中国象棋。人家都说爱屋及乌，因为我的女朋友是中国人。
simon: really? are you good at it? i heard that chinese chess is very interesting. unfortunately i can't play.
西蒙：是吗？那你是高手吗？我一直觉得中国象棋很有意思，可是我不会。
terry: i myself am a rookie, too. to be honest, chinese chess is easier than chess. but the pieces are allowed a larger space. in china, there are many people playing chinese chess, so it's easy to find a teacher.
特里：我还是菜鸟啦。说实话，相对于国际象棋而言，中国象棋要容易得多，但是棋子的活动空间很大。在中国，下象棋的人很多，很容易找到老师的。
simon: you are right. i often see many eldly people playing chinese chess beside the road.
西蒙：是啊。我经常在马路边上看见许多老年人在下象棋。
terry: commonly, the game between two masters can also make spectators nervous. you must keep thinking all the time to guarantee that you will not lose.
特里：通常两个高手之间的对弈能让旁观者都感到紧张。你必须得不停地思考才能保证你不会输掉。
simon: yeah. terry, could you teach me some rules about chinese chess? i'm very interested in it.
西蒙：说的对。特里，你能教我一点象棋的规则吗？我很感兴趣。
terry: no problem. as long as you don't mind that i'm a green hand.
特里：没问题。只要你不嫌弃我还是个菜鸟。

小贴士
in chinese chess, there are a total of 32 pieces and are played in a 9-by-9 board. the horse can move along the diagonal of a double-gieds square; bishops can move along the diagonal of a square which composed by 4 grids; rooks goes straight; cannons only can eat one piece by passing another piece.
在中国象棋中，总共有32个棋子，9*9个格子。马走的路线是一个“日”字，走对角；象走的路线是一个“田”字，也是对角；车可以走直线，前后左右都可以；炮要隔一个子才能吃到对方的棋子。
