課文中英文講解
As you creep along the ground, your comrades tread cautiously with you through the underbrush. Their eyes peer from behind their safety goggles for any ___1___ of enemy movement, guns at the ready. Suddenly, there’s a flurry of activity. Shots are ___2___ off all around you. “I’m hit!” yells the man to your right. It’s an ambush!
你趴在地上匍匐前进时，你的同伴同样小心伴着你穿过矮树丛，他们的眼神透过护目镜搜寻敌军的一举一动，随时准备开枪射击。突然起了一阵骚动，四周一片枪响。你右边的同伴大叫：「我中弹了！」这是埋伏！
This is the exciting game of paintball, ___3___ players simulate what would take place on actual battlefield. But instead of firing ___4___ bullets at each other, they shoot round paint pellets with compressed-air guns. Paintball facilities have ___5___ up all over the world, even here in Taiwan. They can be as ___6___ as an open field filled with some barrels, old rusted-out cars, or anything else that can provide cover. Or they can be out in the woods, simulating jungle combat.
这是刺激的漆弹游戏，参加的人模拟实际战场可能发生的情境，不过他们朝彼此射击的并非真的子弹，而是以空气枪射出的圆形漆弹。漆弹场在世界各地如雨后春笋般出现，连在台湾这里都看得到，它们可能只是简单的开放空间，随意放置一些桶子、老旧锈蚀的汽车，或任何可提供掩护的物品；也可能位于林间，以模拟丛林战的气氛。
The most common game of paintball is pretty simple. Just divide into two teams, ___7___ the last team with a man standing wins. If you get hit, you’re out. Other variations include ___8___ the flag, in which each team must steal a flag from the enemy base and get it safely back to home base. There are also scenario-based games, in which teams must rescue players ___9___ behind enemy lines, or any other military-based scenario.
最普遍的漆弹游戏相当简单，只要将人员分成两组，战到最后一人的那组就算赢。如果你中弹，就算出局。其他变化版还包括夺旗，这种玩法中，每队必须由敌军基地夺取旗帜，并将其安全送返自己的基地；还有一些情境游戏，参加队伍得救出受困敌营的同伴，或任何其他的军事情境。
It’s a sport that’s great for blowing off ___10__ with some good friends. So head out and join crowds of weekend warriors who are discovering the joy of paintball!
这种运动非常适合一群好友共同宣泄情绪。快出发加入一群群的周末战士，一同发掘漆弹的乐趣吧！
