A: Alright, so the first thing that you need to know about bowling is that you should never cross that line where the lane begins.                                                                                                                                              
 B:Why not?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
 A:Because they polish and oil it to make the ball slide down. If you step there you will slip and fall.                                                                                                                                                                         
 B:OK, so I got my bowling shoes, my ball, our names on the scorecard, so now, how the heck  do I play this?                                                                                                                                                                     
 A:You throw the ball down the lane and try to knock down all the pins. If you do, that is called a strike.  if you don’t knock them all down on the first try,                                                                                                                  
 then you get a chance to get the spare. After ten frames, we add up the points and see who has the most. Three hundred is a perfect score, but very hard to get.                                                                                                                
 B:Got it! OK, I’m gonna give it a go. Oh no! My ball went in the gutter!                                                                                                                                                                                                        
 A:I told you, its harder than you think. Now let a pro show you how it’s done.

 gutter [ˈɡʌtər]    n.阴沟；檐沟；天沟；路旁排水沟     v.忽明忽暗；摇曳不定    网络槽；                                                                                                                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
 So it is a very social activity.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
 That's right.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
 So maybe a group of people will rent a lane.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 Remember, we were talking earlier about a lane being that one kind of strip of wood                                                                                                                                                                                             
 where you roll the ball.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
 Well, a group of friends can rent a lane or two lanes and the four or the eight of you                                                                                                                                                                                          
 can play together, each person playing one frame at a time.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
 That's right.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
 And now actually, the other thing about it is it's very funny to see people trying to                                                                                                                                                                                           
 bowl or maybe with the heavy ball or maybe they pass the line that we said they shouldn't                                                                                                                                                                                       
 pass and they slip and fall.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 So I guess that's what also makes it a little bit fun to play.                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
  pastime 消遣 ; 休闲活动                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
 so now how the heck do I play this?
