“我跟他说吧。”向挽歌对秦昭如此说后,径直走向爱彼得,并伸出手道:“Hello, Peter. My name is Xiang Elegy and I am the coach who is here to teach you how to practice Tai Chi.(你好,爱彼得,我叫向挽歌,是来教你练习太极拳的教练。)”
“Hello, Coach Xiang. Nice to meet you!(你好,向教练,非常高兴认识你!)”爱彼得也同样伸出手与向挽歌握在一起。
向挽歌进一步道:“I heard that you are very interested in Tai Chi, but many of its vocabulary cannot be accurately expressed in foreign languages. Therefore, I hope you can municate with me in Chinese during the process of learning Tai Chi, can you?(我听说你对太极拳很感兴趣,但它的很多词汇用外文并不能准确表达,所以我希望你在学拳的过程中能用华文同我进行交流,可以吗?)”
“Why? But there are also many Tai Chi teachers abroad who teach in foreign languages?(为什么?但是在国外也有许多太极拳老师是用外文教学的啊?)”爱彼得略惊讶道。
向挽歌微笑着解释道:“Because this is the country of HUA GUO. Just like when we go to your country and municate in your language, I hope you can also municate with us in Chinese when you e to HUA GUO. Isn''t that the case?(因为这里是华国。正如同我们去到你的国家会用你们的语言进行交流一样,我希望你到华国来也能用华文与我们交流,难道不该是这样吗?)
一旁听的云里雾里的秦昭并不知晓两人在交谈些什么,但看向挽歌笑着的面容心中微松了口气,这个爱彼得的父亲可是省长的座上宾,若是招待不好, 他的麻烦就大了。
虽然方才听秦昭说这个是省里嘱咐的重要外宾,但见过高老爷子的向挽歌并未放在心上,而是坚持自己的观念。
而听完向挽歌的话后,爱彼得显得很生气,不论在哪别人都是顺从他,如今面前这个年轻男人却似乎有意在刁难他。
“There is an ancient saying in your country of HUA GUO that whoever calls is a guest. Is this your way of treating guests?(你们华国有句古话,叫来者是客。难道这就是你们的待客之道吗?)”爱彼得蹙眉道。
“There is an ancient saying in our country, ''Do as the Romans do when in Rome''.(我们华国还有句古话,叫入乡随俗。)”向挽歌依然是面带笑容道。
爱彼得被向挽歌噎了一声后,双眼凶狠地盯着他,而后沉声道:“I heard from President Qin that you are the national champion of Tai Chi. If you can beat me, then I will use Chinese to learn from you. How about that?(听秦会长说你是全国太极拳冠军,若是你能胜我,那我就用华文跟你学拳,怎么样?)”
一直注意两人聊天的秦昭见爱彼得面部表情不对,急忙对向挽歌道:“挽歌,你们说了什么,他怎么好像是生气了?这个人可不好招惹,你可要注意点。”
“放心秦会长,爱彼得说想跟我切磋一下再跟我学拳。”向挽歌则毫不在意地道,虽然爱彼得长得人高马大,但他自觉胜券在握。
随后向挽歌对爱彼得说道:“Okay, then let''s make friends through martial arts.(好,那我们就以武会友。)”
见向挽歌自信满满,爱彼得心下警惕不少,但仍是点了点头。而后两人信步走到场馆中央,正在教其他学员的三位教练听向挽歌说要与爱彼得切磋后纷纷遣散学员,盘坐在场地外边准备观摩。
相比于爱彼得满脸的认真之色,向挽歌则是一脸轻松状。两人在场地中央也各自摆好了架势。
只见向挽歌前后脚站定,双手成掌,右手沉肘外探防护上身,左手向内曲肘向下,防护下身;爱彼得则双手抱拳于下颚处,双脚前后跳动,是典型的拳击式。
