21、nefits。找到平衡：我的太极拳体验一开始，当朋友建议我们参加学校新成立的太极拳俱乐部时，我犹豫(hesitate)了。我过去一直觉得太极拳是老年人的运动。不过，上完第一节课后，我不得不承认(admit)，我之前对太极拳的认识是错误的。太极拳实在是太神奇了。一年后，我可以实话实说了，太极拳对我的身心都产生了巨大的影响。同样重要的是，练习太极拳还激励(inspire)了我去探索(explore)其背后的中国文化。前几节太极拳课非常有趣，也不难学，像“白鹤(crane)亮翅”“金鸡(rooster)独立”这些很形象的招式名称确实很对我胃口。当我问教练，这些有趣的名称从何而来时，他向我道出了太极拳
22、的历史。传说13世纪时，一个叫张三丰的道士从蛇与鸟的缠斗中汲取灵感(inspiration)，创立了太极拳。不过现在(nowadays)人们倾向于认为太极拳是17世纪的中国武学大师(master)陈王廷根据武术技巧演化而来的。由于中国武术中模拟(imitate)动物的做法由来已久，太极拳的部分招式以动物来命名也就不足为奇(no wonder)了。陈王廷最初创编的招式称为陈氏太极拳，后来也发展出了其他门类的太极拳，包括杨氏太极拳、吴氏太极拳和孙氏太极拳。学完前几节太极拳基础课之后，我发现一遍又一遍重复这些招式让我心生厌倦，而且肌肉酸痛(ache)。幸运的是，教练教会了我放松肌肉的方法，以及在日常
23、练习时如何注意心境的平和。将太极拳的这些要求铭记于心，慢慢地，令我满意(satisfaction)的是，我发现自己的平衡能力和柔韧性得到了改善，我可以尝试一些难度更大的招式，我对太极拳的热爱又回来了，而且比以前更强烈了。我不失时机地开始探寻太极拳背后的中国古代文化。我发现，太极拳深深地扎根(root)于中国的阴阳哲学(philosophy)之中，人们认为阴和阳构成了对立统一(unity)，彼此不能独立存在(exist)；比如，没有光就不会有影子。练习太极拳旨在通过一些相对的动作进退(backwards)、上下、左右、吐纳(breathe)来维持人体内部的阴阳调和。最终，太极拳可以带来一种身心平
24、衡的状态。一年练习太极拳的经历已经对我的日常生活产生了积极的作用。晚上我睡得更香，白天则精力更充沛。幸福感倍增，人也更加自信。太极拳让我学会了放松心态，使我在有压力的环境下也能冷静应对。我相信我一定会继续练习太极拳，并不断地享受太极拳带给我的好处。第一版块|重点词汇诠释1.hesitate vi.犹豫，迟疑(1)hesitate about/over (doing) sth. 对(做)某事犹豫不决hesitate to do sth.
