Last weekend, I was talking about winter vacation plans with a friend when I suddenly realized that this year I should start up an old plan of learning how to skate again.

上个周末，在我正和一个朋友谈论寒假计划，我突然意识到今年我应该重新开始一个学习如何滑冰的老计划。

I’ve always wanted to learn how to skate. As a child, my favorite TV sport was figure skating. I used to spend hours in front of the television, gawking at the screen as the pair in the skating rink jump and twirl with the most graceful posture one can imagine.

我一直想学习如何滑冰。小时数，我最喜欢看的体育节目就是花样滑冰。我曾经在电视前花上几个小时，呆呆地看着屏幕里那两人在溜冰场上以一个人能够想象到的最优美的姿势跳跃、旋转。

But I didn’t have a proper chance to learn figure skating. When I was young, the coastal city of about 20,000 people that I lived in had no ice rink. Back then, people didn’t often do sports for entertainment; they walked in the park or disco danced. My city didn’t even have a KFC until after I graduated from elementary school.

但是我没有学习花样滑冰的好机会。小时候，在我居住的那个大约有20000人的沿海城市里没有溜冰场。那时的人们不太经常为了娱乐消遣而运动；他们在公园里散步或者跳迪斯科。直到我小学毕业前我的城市甚至都没有一家肯德基。
