My parents signed me up for classes at a skating school out of town. But I had to catch the early bus on the weekends to get there, and it took two hours to go and come back. So, I gave up learning how to skate pretty quickly.
我的父母给我在一所市外的溜冰学校报了班。但是我不得不在周末的时候赶早班公共汽车去那儿,而且往返都要两小时。所以,我很快就放弃了学习滑冰。
Now is my chance to fulfill my childhood dream!
现在就是我实现童年梦想的机会!
Excited, I started calling skating rinks in Beijing, hoping to sign up for lessons. But the results were disappointing.
我非常兴奋,开始给北京的溜冰场打电话,希望能报名参加课程。但是结果却很让人失望。
Some said they only had classes for children, especially children under the age of 10. A couple said it’s too much trouble to teach adults. One receptionist paused after my question and said strangely, "You never learned this as a child?"
一些溜冰场说他们只为小孩提供课程,尤其是10岁以下的孩子。一对夫妇表示说教大人太麻烦了。一位接待员在听到我的问题之后停顿了一下,奇怪地说道:“你小时候从来没有学过这个吗?”
I understand if they don’t get many adult clients, but to say that adults are harder to teach than children is such a slap in the face. I thought I lived in a society that encourages people to take on lifelong learning. Is there some unspoken rule that says after one reaches a certain age, he or she is not allowed to learn systematically with a trainer anymore?
