Hi, everyone!
大家好！
You might be reading or listening to this Everyday Grammar program from your living room or bedroom. In fact, you might be even wearing pajamas , no matter the time of day.
您可能正在客厅或卧室阅读或收听此日常语法节目。事实上，无论一天中的什么时候，您甚至可能都穿着睡衣。
If you are like us here in Washington, D.C. and many other places, health officials have asked you to stay at home for now.
如果您像我们一样在华盛顿特区和许多其他地方，卫生官员已要求您暂时呆在家里。
And with so many people at home for long periods, people are looking for activities to keep their minds occupied. Too much time on social media can be a problem. Even binge-watching movies and television shows loses its appeal after a while.
由于这么多人长时间呆在家里，人们正在寻找一些活动来让自己的大脑忙碌起来。在社交媒体上花费太多时间可能是一个问题。即使是狂看电影和电视节目一段时间后也会失去吸引力。
With this in mind, we will be offering ideas for games that you can play with your family or housemates in the coming weeks to practice your English.
考虑到这一点，我们将提供一些游戏创意，您可以在未来几周内与家人或室友一起玩这些游戏来练习英语。
What is Jeopardy?
什么是危险？
On today’s program we will talk about Jeopardy, a favorite game of English learning classrooms.
在今天的节目中，我们将讨论 Jeopardy，这是英语学习课堂上最受欢迎的游戏。
The idea comes from the American television game show in which players give their answers in the form of a question. You may have even seen the show in your country.
这个想法来自美国电视游戏节目，玩家以问题的形式给出答案。您甚至可能在您的国家看过该节目。
In Jeopardy, players choose from categories and try to win money, like this:
在 Jeopardy 中，玩家从类别中进行选择并尝试赢得金钱，如下所示：
(Player) I’ll take Countries for $100. (Host) This Asian country is famous for its high-quality motorcycles (Player) What is Japan? (Host) That is correct!
（玩家）我会以 100 美元购买国家。 （主持人）这个亚洲国家以高品质摩托车而闻名（主持人）日本是什么？ （主持人）说得对！
Notice that the answer came in the form of a question: “What is Japan?”
请注意，答案以问题的形式出现：“日本是什么？”
You will also note the host read a fact in statement form. We will call those facts clues.
您还会注意到主持人以陈述形式阅读了事实。我们将这些事实称为线索。
Playing Jeopardy at home is a good way to get experience forming questions in English. It also can improve your speaking and listening skills, and help expand your vocabulary .
在家玩 Jeopardy 是获得用英语提问的经验的好方法。它还可以提高您的口语和听力技能，并帮助扩大您的词汇量。
Now, let’s talk about how to play the game. You will need three or more English learners – one person to serve as host and the others to play.*
现在，我们来谈谈如何玩游戏。您将需要三名或更多英语学习者——其中一人担任主持人，其他人进行游戏。*
There are two ways to play the game: the traditional way (with answers in question form) and the easier way, which you can find on our website at learningenglish.voanews.com.
有两种玩游戏的方式：传统方式（以问题形式给出答案）和更简单的方式，您可以在我们的网站 Learningenglish.voanews.com 上找到该方式。

玩法 - 传统
Here is how to play the traditional way.
以下是传统方式的玩法。
The first step is to decide who the host will be. His or her job is to gather clues for the game. The host also reads clues to the players, and keeps a record of points won.
第一步是决定主持人是谁。他或她的工作是收集游戏的线索。主持人还会向玩家读出线索，并记录赢得的分数。
To play the game, you will need five separate categories. For example, you might choose: Countries, Animals, Foods, Sports and Actors. For each category, choose six clues, from easy ($100) to difficult ($600).
要玩游戏，您需要五个不同的类别。例如，您可以选择：国家、动物、食品、体育和演员。对于每个类别，选择六个线索，从简单（100 美元）到困难（600 美元）。
The host will need to keep the clues on a computer screen or write or print them on a small piece of paper.
主持人需要将线索保留在计算机屏幕上，或者将其书写或打印在一张小纸上。
To set up the game, you will need a board or large piece of paper. (If using paper, put it on a wall for all the players to see.) On the large paper or board, make a grid like the simple design shown on our website.
要设置游戏，您需要一块木板或一张大纸。 （如果使用纸张，请将其放在墙上，让所有玩家都能看到。）在大纸或板上，制作一个网格，就像我们网站上显示的简单设计一样。
Write the categories on the left of the grid and the money amounts across the top.
将类别写在网格左侧，将金额写在顶部。
