Sam: What do you think of the Olympics?
Ann: My favorite event is definitely the rhythmic gymnastics.
Sam: Me too. I can't believe the way those girls’ bodies look.
Ann: Yeah. They're so skinny. And some of them look like children.
Sam: There are some children. I saw one gymnast that was in the nine to eleven age bracket.
Ann: I guess the lighter they are, the easier it is to jump around on the floor.
Sam: There are also some older gymnasts who are extremely graceful.
Ann: Yesterday, I watched a floor routine where the gymnast used a ball.
Sam: You're talking about the contact ball, where she rolls it all around her body.
Ann: That and she throws it nearly five meters in the air.
Sam: Wow. Those girls have such coordination.

山姆：你觉得奥运如何？
安：我最喜欢的项目绝对是艺术体操。
山姆：我也是。真不敢相信那些女孩子的身材能那个样子。
安：是啊。她们好瘦。有些看起来像小孩子。
山姆：里面是有些小孩子。我有看到一位体操选手的年龄大概才九到十一岁。
安：我猜她们越轻越容易在地板上跳来跳去吧。
山姆：也有些比较年长的体操选手非常优雅。
安：昨天，我看了一场地板动作，那位体操选手耍一颗球。
山姆：你是指抗力球，在她身上到处滚来滚去。
安：此外她还把球抛到将近五公尺的空中。
山姆：哇。那些女孩子的协调感真是了得。

名词性that-从句 (1)
1）由从属连词that引导的从句叫做名词性that-从句。 That只起连接主句和从句的作用，在从句中不担任任何成分，本身也没有词义。名词性that-从句在句中能充当主 语、宾语、表语、同位语和形容词宾语，例如：
主语：That he is still alive is sheer luck. 他还活着全靠运气。
宾语：John said that he was leaving for London on Wednesday. 约翰说他星期三要到伦敦去。
表语：The fact is that he has not been seen recently. 事实是近来谁也没有见过他。
同位语：The fact that he has not been seen recently disturbs everyone in his office.
近来谁也没有见过他，这一事实令办公室所有的人不安。
形容词宾语：I am glad that you are satisfied with your job.
你对工作满意我感到很高兴。
