1. 1

    Dressage is a kind of horse riding — and an Olympic sport — in which the horse and rider perform a planned set of careful movements, almost like a dance. The rider gives very small signals with the legs, the seat, and the reins; the horse walks, trots, , turns, and stops in a precise way.

    Dressage is盛裝舞步是 a kind of horse riding一種騎馬活動 — and an Olympic sport也是奧運項目 — in which在其中 the horse and rider馬和騎士 perform a planned set of careful movements會做出一整套規劃好的細膩動作, almost like a dance幾乎像跳舞一樣。The rider gives騎士給出 very small signals非常細微的訊號 with the legs, the seat, and the reins用腿、坐姿和韁繩; the horse walks, trots, canters, turns, and stops馬會走、快步、跑步、轉彎、停下 in a precise way動作精準。

    Judges mark how calm, obedient, and beautiful the work looks. It is not a race, and it is not about putting clothes on a horse, though the English word dress sits in the background: the French source means training, arranging, preparing.

    Judges mark裁判會評分 how calm, obedient, and beautiful the work looks看整套動作有多冷靜、多聽話、多美。It is not a race這不是比賽速度, and it is not about putting clothes on a horse也不是幫馬穿衣服, though the English word dress sits in the background雖然英文dress這個字就藏在背景裡: the French source法文的字源 means training, arranging, preparing意思是訓練、安排、準備。

    English often keeps a slightly French sound, “dress-AHZH.” It is a specialist word; people who do not ride may never use it. Formal, sport-and-stable register.

    English often keeps英文通常保留 a slightly French sound一點法文腔的發音, "dress-AHZH."唸成「dress-AHZH」。It is a specialist word這是個專業術語; people who do not ride不騎馬的人 may never use it可能一輩子都用不到。Formal, sport-and-stable register語氣正式,屬於運動與馬廄的用語。
