世界花式溜冰高手們，禮拜日在南韓漢城為盛大的溜冰秀進行暖場。

Mao Asada of Japan, the rival of South Korea’s Kim Yuna, was the most popular skater at Sunday’s event.

日本的淺田真央，是南韓選手金尤娜的對手，也是禮拜日這場溜冰盛事最受歡迎的滑冰選手。

[14-year-old fan Lee Joo-Hyun:, Skating Fan]:

“It is better to see Mao Asada in person than seeing her on TV. She skates quite well — she’s good enough to be regarded as Kim Yuna’s rival."

14歲的粉絲李周鉉說：

「看到淺田真央本人比在電視上看到她還要棒。她溜得真的很出色。她的技術好到足以視為金尤娜的對手了。」

Mao won the women’s title at the world figure skating championships in March in Turin, Italy.

淺田真央三月份在義大利都靈的世界花式溜冰錦標賽中，獲得女子組冠軍。

[Mao Asada, 2010 Winter Olympic Silver Medalist]:

“This is the fifth or sixth time for me to visit South Korea. Whenever I came here I was much surprised at skating fans’ hearty welcome. So I will practice harder to show better performances to those skating fans."

[淺田真央, 2010 冬季奧運銀牌得主]:

「這是我第五或第六次拜訪南韓。每當我來到這裡，我對這裡滑冰粉絲的熱烈歡迎，感到非常驚訝。所以我會更加努力，讓那些滑冰粉絲欣賞到我更好的演出。」

Female stars danced on the ice to a South Korean popular song ‘Nobody’ sung by the Wonder Girls, while male stars danced to ‘Heartbeat’ sung by 2PM.

女滑冰明星們在冰上跳著由Wonder Girls所唱的南韓流行歌曲’Nobody’，而男滑冰團體跳著由2PM所唱的’Heartbeat’。

When a group of women got on the car, every seat was already occupied. The conductor noticed a man who seemed to be asleep, and fearing he might miss his stop, she nudged him and said: “Wake up, sir!"

當一群婦女上車，每個位置都佔滿了。車掌注意到一位男士似乎睡著了，害怕他可能錯過他要下車的站，她輕碰他並且說：「醒醒，先生！」

“I wasn’t asleep," the man answered.

“Not asleep? But you had your eyes closed."

「我沒睡著」這位男士回答。

「沒睡著？但你的眼睛閉起來了。」

“I know. I just hate to look at ladies standing up beside me in a crowded bus."

「我知道。我只是討厭在擁擠的巴士上，看著站在我身旁的那些女士。」
