功夫有哪些招式？少林武術怎么樣
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: Hi, I hope you can help me. I want to get 6t, bur I hate going to the gym. I want to try something different, any ideas?
 
你好，我希望你能幫我個忙。我想有個好身體，可是又討厭去健身房。我想試試其他辦法，有什么好主意?
 
B: What about Kung Fu?
 
功夫怎么樣？
 
A: Like in a Jackie Chan movie? I don't know _
 
像成龍演的電影里面那樣？我不太懂……
 
B: There's much more to Kung Fu than Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee.  Kung Fu is an art form and also, very good for you.
 
功夫并不只是指成龍或李小龍，它是一種藝術形式，而且對你很有好處。
 
A: OK. Tell me more.
 
好的，詳細說說。
 
B: Many styles of Kung Fu are based on the ideas of nature.  Ancient boxing masters often developed their fighting techniques by observing the world around them. Animals, birds, and insects provided the basis for many systems of Kung Fu developed in the past.
 
很多功夫招式來源于對自然界的想象。古代拳術大師常常遁過觀察他們周圍的世界改進拳術技法。動物、鳥類和昆蟲為過去很多功夫的系統(tǒng)發(fā)展提供了基礎。
 
A: So, I could learn to fight like a bird?
 
那我能學像鳥那樣的打架招式嗎？
 
B: Kind of . . .  there are many different styles but they take years to master.
 
差不多吧……有很多不同的招式，但都需要很多年才能練好。
 
A: What about Shaolin ? How is that linked?
 
少林武術怎么樣？它跟什么有關系？
 
B: Many of the hard forms of Kung Fu came from a Buddhist Monastery called "Shaolin". An Indian priest named Tamo came to live there nearly ls00 years ago According to legend, Tamo arrived at the monastery where he found the monks in poor physical condition.  Because they couldn't stay awake during meditation, Tamo introduced a series of 18 exercises designed to feed both body and mind.  These movements are said to have merged with self-defense tactics studied in the Shaolin Temple.
 
很多硬功夫都出自叫“少林”的佛教寺廟。大約1500年前，有個叫達摩的印度僧人來到這里。傳說他來到寺廟，發(fā)現(xiàn)那里的和尚身體狀況很不好。因為他們在坐禪時不能保持清醒，達摩就傳授給他們一套十八手拳法，目的是鍛煉他們的身心。據(jù)說這些動作融合了他在少林寺研究的防身術。
 
A: I see. But I thought you said there were many types?
 
我明白了。但是我記得你說過有很多種招勢？
 
B: Yes, later. in the 13出 century, they were extended t0 72 forms by Jueyuan the Monk. He traveled around China and met two other skilled fighters. They further extended the forms t0 173 and classified them into 5 animal forms: dragon, tiger, leopard, crane and snake.  That's how we get Shaolin Kung Fu's " Five Form Fist".
 
是的，后來在13世紀，覺遠和尚‘把這些動作擴大到72手。他到中國各地旅游,遇到了兩個武藝高強的人。他們進一步把招勢擴大到173手，按動物種類分成5類形態(tài)：龍、虎、豹、鶴和蛇。這就是我們現(xiàn)在少林功夫中“五形拳”的由來。
 
A: Sounds special. But I don't want to be too violent.
 
聽起來很特別。不過我不想變得太暴力。
 
B: Then I suggest a soft form of Kung Fu, called Tai Qi. It comes from Taoism and it's very good for your health. Through its training, you can get inner peace and a sense of physical and emotional well being.  It's often called Chinese Yoga : the art and science of meditation through movement.
 
那我建議你學習一種溫和的功夫，叫太極拳。它源于道教，對你的健康非常有好處。通過這種訓練，你能達到內(nèi)心的平和，以及身體和情緒上的安寧舒適。它經(jīng)常被人們稱作中國瑜珈：通過運動達到沉思冥想的一種藝術和科學。
 
A: OK, great!
 
不鍇，太好了！
