情態副詞

By now, surely you've heard of pickleball.

說到 pickleball，大家現在一定都聽過了吧。

The so called fastest growing sport in the country.

Pickleball's popularity skyrocketed during the pandemic, bringing it out of retirement communities and into the mainstream.

疫情期間，pickleball 的人氣爆紅，讓它從退休社區走向大眾。

I discovered pickleball and the light went off in my head.

我發現了 pickleball，腦袋裡靈光一閃。

Where would you be without pickleball right now?

如果沒有 pickleball，你現在會在哪裡？

Now there are fancy new Instagram ads selling trendy paddles and balls, a professional league backed by Kevin Durant and LeBron James, and

現在有很酷的新 Instagram 廣告在賣時髦的球拍和球，還有個由 Kevin Durant 和 LeBron James 支持的職業聯盟，

a Facebook group for pretty much every town in America.

以及幾乎美國每個城鎮都有的 Facebook 社團。

Why don't you take that pickleball and shove it up your.

你怎麼不拿那個 pickleball 去塞你的...

So how did pickleball take over and where can it go from here?

那 pickleball 是怎麼風靡起來的，接下來又會往哪裡發展呢？

It's not hard to understand pickleball's appeal.

It's sort of like a giant adult playground game that's easy to pick up and find people to play with whenever we come out.

它有點像個大型成人遊樂場遊戲，很容易上手，而且隨時都能找到人一起玩。

The entire ground is covered with pickleball courts.

整個場地都鋪滿了 pickleball 場地。

I live literally like right next door here and I just saw scores of people on the weekends and kind of just jumped in.

我住的地方 literally 就在旁邊，週末就看到好多人，就這樣跑來玩了。

played on a much smaller court, which means less running and quicker games.

是在一個小很多的場地上打，代表跑動比較少，比賽節奏也比較快。

The nets are advertised as being portable and easy to assemble.

球網標榜著是可攜帶且容易組裝的。

And there's plenty of resources online that show you how to carve up a tennis court into one, two, or up to four pickleball courts.

網路上有很多資源教你怎麼把網球場劃抽成一、二、甚至四個 pickleball 場地。

In some places, the impromptu nature of the sport has caused some friction and so called turf wars for public space.

在某些地方，這項運動隨性的特質引發了一些摩擦，以及所謂的公共空間爭奪戰。

Like at the Peninsula Tennis Club in San Diego, where a group of pickleball players staged a dramatic takeover demanding its tennis courts be converted for pickleball.

就像在聖地牙哥的 Peninsula Tennis Club，一群 pickleball 玩家發起了戲劇性的接管行動，要求將網球場改建成 pickleball 場。

In Santa Rosa, public courts dual lined for pickleball and tennis were vandalized with motor oil to send the message that the new craze was no longer welcome there.

在聖羅莎，同時標記了 pickleball 和網球的公共球場被機油破壞，藉此傳達這項新熱潮已不受歡迎的訊息。

But it's not just the fight for court space that has some people fed up with pickleball.

但讓一些人對 pickleball 感到厭煩的，不只是爭奪球場空間的問題。

It measures sound pressure levels in decibels.

A decibel is one unit of loudness, and it's measured logarithmically rather than linearly.

分貝是響度的一個單位，它是對數測量而不是線性測量。

Basically, that means that steadily increasing sound level by 10 decibels doesn't look like this, but

基本上，這意味著聲級穩定增加 10 分貝看起來不是這樣，而是

more like this, where each increase of 10db sounds twice as loud.

更像這樣，每增加 10 分貝聽起來就大兩倍。

So a motorcycle at 100db, sounds twice as loud as a hairdryer at 90db, which is twice as loud as a vacuum cleaner at 80 decibels.

所以一輛 100 分貝的摩托車聽起來比 90 分貝的吹風機大兩倍，而吹風機又比 80 分貝的吸塵器大兩倍。

He produces vox atlas, and he's gonna help me with a little experiment.

他製作了 vox atlas，他將協助我做個小實驗。

Bouncing a tennis ball on a tennis racket averaged around 70 decibels, which is comparable to the noise level of a busy office.

用網球拍彈網球的平均音量大約是 70 分貝，這跟繁忙辦公室的噪音差不多。

When we measured the sound of a pickleball against a paddle, it clocked in around 80 decibels.

當我們測量 pickleball 拍擊球的聲音時，大約是 80 分貝。

That's right where sound becomes loud enough to be irritating.

這就是聲音大到會讓人覺得惱人的程度了。

Now, obviously, this isn't the most scientific experiment, and of course, tennis matches make sound.

當然，這不是最科學的實驗，網球比賽也會發出聲音。

But the point is pickleball's equipment, rigid paddles against hollow plastic balls, makes a lot of noise.

但重點是 pickleball 的器材，硬質的球拍打中中空的塑膠球，會製造出很大的噪音。

Clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack.

啪、啪、啪、啪、啪、啪、啪、啪、啪。

這聲音跟搖滾演唱會一樣大聲。

Mounting noise complaints have forced cities and towns from Victoria, British Columbia, to Newport, Rhode island, to come up with temporary solutions like limited hours for pickleball and in some places, banning the sport altogether.

由於噪音投訴不斷，從維多利亞到羅德島的城鎮，都不得不採取臨時措施，像是限制 pickleball 的開放時間，甚至有些地方直接禁止這項運動。

Both sides of this conflict agree pickleball has to go somewhere.

這場衝突的雙方都同意，pickleball 總得有個去處。

Expanding or creating dedicated space for the sport would help alleviate the strain on shared spaces and help isolate the noise issue.

擴建或打造專屬場地，能減輕共用空間的壓力，也能有效隔離噪音問題。

Developers have already cashed in on the demand, opening state of the art private pickleball clubs across the country.

開發商已經抓住了這個商機，在全國各地開設了最先進的私人 pickleball 俱樂部。

So far, underfunded parks and recs departments have been moving slower, but progress is being made.

到目前為止，資金不足的公園與休閒部門動作比較慢，但進展還是有的。

Cincinnati recently opened this free to the public pickleball facility.

辛辛那提最近啟用了一個對大眾免費開放的 pickleball 場地。

A collaboration between community fundraisers, the Cincinnati parks department, and

這是社區募款、辛辛那提公園部門，以及

the philanthropic Cincinnati parks Foundation converted eight dilapidated tennis courts into 18 pickleball courts, plus three dual line courts for pickleball and tennis.

慈善的辛辛那提公園基金會合作的成果，他們將八個破舊的網球場改建成了 18 個 pickleball 場，還有三個可同時進行 pickleball 和網球的雙線場地。

What was formerly a mostly ignored space drew over 13,000 pickleball players in 2022.

原本一個沒什麼人注意的空間，在 2022 年吸引了超過 13,000 名 pickleball 玩家。

There's plans like this in the works all over the country.

全國各地都在規劃類似的計畫。

This one was shared with me by the Peninsula Tennis Club.

這個消息是 Peninsula Tennis Club 分享給我的。

That's where that angry pickleball takeover took place in April 2022.

這就是 2022 年 4 月那個激烈的 pickleball 佔領行動發生的地點。

Their proposal would convert this unused space away from the tennis courts for pickleball courts.

他們的提案是將網球場旁這塊沒在使用的空間改建成 pickleball 場地。

These projects need funding, but where pickleball goes, other facilities benefit.

這些計畫需要資金，但 pickleball 發展的地方，其他設施也會跟著受益。

Efforts to invest in public pickleball courts are resulting in new volleyball courts, basketball courts, and

投入公共 pickleball 場地的努力，也催生了新的排球場、籃球場，以及

But until more courts become available, and

maybe even after they do, pickleball will likely maintain its DIY spirit.

也許即使開放了之後，pickleball 可能還是會維持那種自己動手做的精神。

There are pickleball courts around the city, but we could just come in here and play.

這裡市區到處都有 pickleball 場地，但我們可以直接來這裡玩。

Like, not really plan anything in advance and just find a spot.

就是，不用真的事先計畫什麼，然後隨便找個地方。

Being able to just, like, grab that little bag here and come out and text my friends and have people show up and meet new people is very appealing, I think.

能夠隨時拿出這個小包包，然後傳訊息給朋友，讓大家一起來，認識新朋友，我覺得這點很吸引人。
