Hey, welcome to Strike Zone! How many bowlers today?

嘿，欢迎来到Strike Zone！今天几个人打？

Easy! You rent a lane by the hour — $25 per hour for a lane. Shoe rental is $5 per person. We'll set you up on a lane and the scoring is all automatic on the screen above. Would you like one hour or two?

很简单！按小时租球道——每小时25美元一条道。鞋子每人5美元。我们给你安排球道，计分全是自动的，在上方屏幕上。你们要一小时还是两小时？

What sizes do you guys wear? We use U.S. sizes here — if you know your European size, I can convert it for you.

你们穿多大的？我们这里用美国码——如果你们知道欧洲码，我可以帮你们换算。

💡 美国鞋码和中国/欧洲鞋码不同。男士中国42码大约是美国8.5-9码，女士中国38码大约是美国7-7.5码。

Yep, that's right! A men's 9. Here are your shoes. The balls are on the racks by your lane — you'll want to pick one that's not too heavy. For beginners, I'd say 10 to 12 pounds is a good range. Put your fingers in the holes and make sure the grip feels comfortable.

对的！男士9码。鞋子给你。球就在球道旁边的架子上——选一个不太重的。新手的话我建议10到12磅比较合适。手指放进球洞里，确保握着舒服。

Bumpers are the guardrails in the gutters — they stop the ball from going into the gutter. They're usually for kids, but honestly, no judgment here! I can turn them on for your lane if you want.

挡板是沟槽里的护栏——防止球滚进沟里。通常是给小朋友用的，但说实话，我们不介意！如果你们想要我可以开。

Nice shot! You almost got a spare there. Are you guys from out of town?

好球！差点就补中了。你们是外地来的吗？

Ah, that's a common issue. Try keeping your thumb at 12 o'clock when you release the ball. And follow through — swing your arm straight toward the pins, like you're shaking someone's hand at the end.

这很常见。试试松球的时候大拇指保持在12点钟方向。要有跟随动作——手臂直直地朝球瓶挥过去，就像最后在跟人握手一样。

Nice! Now try to pick up the spare — aim slightly to the left of the remaining two pins. If you get this, you'll have a great frame!

不错！现在试试补中——瞄准剩下两个球瓶稍微偏左的位置。这个打到了的话这一轮就很棒了！

So the basics: knock down all 10 with the first ball — that's a strike, shown as an X. Get them all in two throws — that's a spare, shown as a slash. Strikes and spares give you bonus points from your next throws. A perfect game is 300 — all strikes. My personal best is 192.

基本规则：第一球全倒叫全中（strike），显示X。两球全倒叫补中（spare），显示斜杠。全中和补中会从下次投球中获得加分。满分是300分——全是全中。我个人最高192。

Yeah! There's a menu on the table behind your seats. Nachos and pitchers of beer are basically bowling essentials. You can order from the bar or sometimes a server walks around.

可以！座位后面桌子上有菜单。芝士玉米片和大壶啤酒基本上是保龄球标配。可以去吧台点或者有时候服务员会过来。

Cosmic bowling is the best — they turn off the regular lights, switch on blacklights and neon, play music, and it's like bowling in a nightclub. Usually starts around 9 PM on weekends. Highly recommend it!

夜光保龄球超棒——关掉普通灯，打开紫外灯和霓虹灯，放音乐，就像在夜店里打保龄球。通常周末晚上9点开始。强烈推荐！
