Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Playing a game is fun only when you win. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
I agree with the old saying, “It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game.” I don't need to win. I have fun playing all games because it gives me time to be with friends, learn new things, and work as a team.
我同意一句老话，“关键不在于你赢还是输，而在于你如何玩游戏。”我不需要赢。我玩所有的游戏都很开心，因为它让我有时间和朋友在一起，学习新东西，和团队合作。
Tennis is one game that I enjoy. It's a great opportunity to socialize. Of course, you can't carry on a conversation while you're playing, but my tennis partner and I talk a lot before the game. Since we have to reserve a court, we have to talk to one another to find a convenient time to meet. Then we have to make sure that the court is available at that time. This often takes many phone calls and, of course, we talk about many other things during the same conversation. Once we get to the court, we often have to wait. That gives us another opportunity to chat. After the game, we usually go out for a soda or a meal and talk some more. We don't even talk about how well or how poorly we played. Tennis is just an excuse for us to get together.
网球是我喜欢的一种游戏。这是一个很好的社交机会。当然，你不能在你重新打球的时候继续谈话，但我和我的网球搭档在比赛前谈了很多。因为我们得预定一个场地，所以我们得互相交谈，以便找个方便的时间见面。那我们就得确保法庭在那个时候可以使用。这通常需要打很多电话，当然，我们在同一次谈话中还会谈论很多其他事情。一到法庭，我们就得等。这给了我们另一个聊天的机会。比赛结束后，我们通常出去喝杯苏打或吃顿饭，再多聊几句。我们甚至不谈论我们打得有多好或有多差。网球只是我们聚在一起的一个借口。
The board game Scrabble, on the other hand, is a real skill builder. It's a challenge to form words from the letters in front of you and on the board. I always learn a new word from my opponent, although sometimes I'm suspicious whether the word really exists. Often we don't even keep score. We just do it because it's fun and we learn new English words.
另一方面，拼字游戏是一个真正的技能培养者。从你面前和黑板上的字母组成单词是一项挑战。我总是从我的对手那里学到一个新单词，尽管有时我怀疑这个词是否真的存在。我们常常连分数都不记。我们这样做只是因为它很有趣，而且我们学习新的英语单词。
Soccer is the most competitive sport I'm involved in. I do my best, but it doesn't matter to me if my team loses. I enjoy just being with my friends and traveling to different schools in different cities to play. I learn a lot about teamwork when we practice. Our coach tells us the most important thing is to play well as a team. It seems she just wants us to have fun and not worry about winning.
足球是我所从事的最具竞争力的运动。我尽力了，但如果我的队输了对我来说无关紧要。我喜欢和朋友在一起，去不同城市的不同学校玩。当我们练习时，我学到了很多关于团队合作的知识。我们的教练告诉我们，最重要的是要打好一支球队。看来她只是想让我们玩得开心，不担心赢了。
All in all, I just enjoy having a good time. Presumably that's our purpose in life. Isn't that better than worrying about who wins and who loses all the time?
总之，我只是喜欢玩得开心。这大概是我们生活的目的。这不总比担心谁赢谁输好吗？
