運動時稍不注意就很容易會有運動傷害，
閃到腰、扭到腳踝、肩膀拉傷、骨折，
這些都有可能發生！
來學學這些運動傷害的英文吧！
Sofia 在教室裡用著她的筆電，這時見 Bob 一拐一拐地走進來…
Sofia: What happened to your leg!?
Sofia：你的腿怎麼了！？
Bob: I got injured yesterday playing basketball with Henry and some of the guys.
Bob：昨天 Henry 找我去和他還有其他一些朋友一起打球，我打到一半受傷了。
Sofia: Poor you!
Sofia：真慘！
Bob: I sprained both my ankles—hence the crutches.
Bob：我兩個腳踝都扭傷了，所以才會拿拐杖。
Sofia: How did that happen?
Sofia：是怎麼發生的？
Bob: Henry passed me the ball but I missed it with my hands and stepped on it…
Bob：Henry 傳球給我。我漏接了而且還踩到 …
Sofia: Well… at least it’s not a fracture.
Sofia：嘛，幸好不是骨折。
Sofia 說得對，幸好只是扭到而不是骨折。先來複習單字吧！
sprain (v.) 扭傷
sprain 動名詞同形，在對話中意思是「扭傷」，比如：sprain the ankle (扭傷腳踝)、sprain the wrist (扭傷手腕)、sprain the shoulder (扭傷肩膀)，注意主詞為人而非身體部位。

crutch (n.) 拐杖
crutch 意指「拐杖」，尤其指腿部受傷的病患在使用的 T 型拐杖，例如：walkin on crutches (靠拐杖走路)。如果是指老年人使用的「拐杖；手杖」，則是 (walking) stick 。
He’ll have to walk around on crutches for a while because of the car accident.
他出車禍後都靠拐杖走路。The old man walked down the street slowly using his walking stick for balance.
一位老先生靠拐杖平衡，緩慢地走在街道上。
fracture (n.) 骨折
fracture 當名詞時意指「斷裂；骨折」；當動詞時可指「斷裂；折斷」。骨折時通常會打石膏，「石膏」的英文則為 cast。
Tommy’s leg is in a cast. He got a fracture while playing football.
Tommy 因為腿部骨折打著石膏。Two of the patient’s ribs were fractured as CPR was being performed.

Sofia 是否也曾經在運動時受傷呢？繼續聽他們聊下去吧！
Bob: Yes, I’ve also got some bruises, but they are just minor injuries.
Bob：對啊，我還有一些瘀青，不過只是輕傷。
Sofia: Still looks like a sore one though. Speaking of injuries, I hurt myself playing table tennis during gym class last week.
Sofia：但你的瘀青看起來還是很嚴重。說到受傷，我上禮拜上體育課時也受傷了。
Bob: I’m guessing it probably wasn’t because you slipped on a ping-pong ball, haha. What happened?
Bob：不可能你踩到乒乓球跌倒吧，哈哈。所以是怎麼了？
Sofia: Well… do you remember me telling you how much of a hunk my gym teacher is? He used to be a professional athlete—very handsome. Anyways, last week I kept staring at him during the class, and I ended up with a crick in my neck.
Sofia：這個嘛… 你還記得我跟你說我的體育老師超壯嗎？他以前是職業運動員…超帥的。反正就是上禮拜我上課時一直盯著他看，然後脖子就抽筋了。
Bob: That’s not even a sports injury! I thought you had maybe pulled a muscle or something.
Bob：那根本不算是運動傷害！我還以為你是肌肉拉傷還怎麼的。
Sofia: It was in gym class! Surely that still counts as a sports injury? Haha.
Sofia：因為是在體育課受傷啊！當然還是算運動傷害？哈哈。
Sofia 對運動傷害的定義還真廣，小 V 甘拜下風。來複習單字吧！
