(From Yahoo.cn online forum) 中國人最喜歡什麼運動？
前兩名應該是籃球和足球（zúqiú:soccer）。為什麼？因為中國人愛熱鬧(rènào)。但是籃球比足球更受歡迎，因為中國一個縣(xiàn:county)才有一個足球場，但是籃球場有幾十個甚至上百個，而且籃球玩起來方便，不像足球，得換鞋，得有一個很大的場地。所以籃球比足球更受歡迎。

雖然中國人愛籃球和足球，但是打得不好。因為中國人喜歡出風頭（chūfēngtóu:enjoy the limelight），所以一般的(yìbānde:in general)團體(tuántǐ:group)運動都不太好。再說中國人在體力(tǐlì:physical strength)上不及(bùjí:not compatible with)西方人，所以中國人比較喜歡玩技巧性(jìqiǎoxìng:skillful)的運動。單(dān: single)對單的運動像乒乓球，羽毛球(yǔmáoqiú: Badminton)，游泳，體操就很好。

乒乓球和羽毛球也是很受歡迎的運動。可是乒乓球和羽毛球不像籃球和足球那麼受歡迎。為什麼呢？因為乒乓球和羽毛球不是很熱鬧，上場只有兩個人玩。其他的人只有看的份。
