話不多說,來學學這些電玩英文術語!
Bob 決定下午要找朋友組隊好好玩一場線上遊戲,但還是缺一個人,所以他決定問問從沒玩過的 Sofia 要不要加入。
Bob: Sofia, are you interested in joining our online game?
Bob:Sofia,你有沒有興趣加入我們的線上遊戲?
Sofia: What is it like?
Sofia:什麼樣的遊戲?
Bob: The goal is to find a treasure chest hidden on an island, but the island is teeming with all kinds of evil monsters that are trying to kill you. The players have to figure out how to get to the treasure without ending up dead. You compete against other teams who are also looking for the treasure.
Bob:目標是找到島上的隱藏的藏寶箱,但是島上到處都是各種邪惡的怪物,他們見人就殺。玩家必須想辦法活著找到藏寶箱。島上也可能有其他玩家和我們競爭。
Sofia: Sounds cool! Count me in.
Sofia:聽起來很酷!算我一份。
Bob: Great, now we’ve got enough people to start a team. Log in and say hello to our two other teammates! They’re Beany980 and Miami0a from the USA.
Bob:好極了,現在我們湊齊人數組隊了。登入和我們其他兩個組員打聲招呼吧!他們是來自美國的 Beany980 和 Miami0a。
(Sofia logs in and the game soon begins.)
(Sofia 登入,遊戲馬上開始。)
Beany980: Gl hf!
Beany980:祝好運,玩得愉快!Bob: Sofia! There’s a monster right behind you! Def! Def!
Bob:Sofia!你後面有一隻怪物!防禦!防禦!
怎麼遊戲才一開始 Sofia 就遇到怪物了!真是太刺激啦!但我們還是先來背背單字吧!
