Oefening 2
A healthy spirit in a healthy body
Mother: So, are you there at
last? You are a little late!
Henk: Yes, I’m sorry. We
played so nicely!
Mother: Where did you play
tennis?
Henk: ?? played to almost
six o’clock. And then we looked for a while at a couple of
other matches. It was very exciting.
Mother: Did June play well?
She looks very sporty.
Henk: Yes, she is also
good.
Mother: Did she win?
Henk: That I am not
saying.
Mother: Why not?
Henk: For no reason.
Mother: Certainly since she
is a girl and you don’t like it when a girl beats you.
Henk: Maybe.
Mother: I am going swimming with Mrs. De Hoogh this
afternoon. Today I want to do twenty laps. Last time I did
fifteen.
Henk: Is Aunt Jane also
going along?
Mother: No, she doesn’t
swim. In America she plays golf.
Henk: Oh, I know nothing
about that. Only that you hit a little ball very hard with a
stick, then you walk a kilometer and then you hit the little
ball again, and so forth.
Mother: Yes, it also seems
very boring to me.
Henk: Yes, to me also.
Henk: And what does Uncle
Cor do?
Mother: He plays
racquetball. Do you know what that is?
Henk: Yes, just like squash,
I think. You play it also in a hall but not with a racquet
with such a short handle. You play it against the wall, just
as in squash. The two players hit the ball in turn against
the wall.
Mother: Then you must certainly also be very fit for
that. I prefer to go one or two times a week to swim a few
laps.
Henk: And do you know what
Jim does?
Mother: You do mean for
sport. No, I don’t know.
Henk: He plays basketball.
You do know what that is.
Mother: Yes, I know.
‘Basket’ is ‘mand’ in Dutch. You play it in a hall and you
must throw a ball in a basket. There are six players per
side, I think.
Henk: I think five.
Mother: Together we know a
whole lot of sport, I see.
Henk: Yes, that’s right. And
we both also think sport is important for health.
Mother: Do you know what the
Latin proverb `mens sana in corpore sano' means?
Henk: No, my Latin is not so
strong.
Mother: That means ‘a
healthy spirit in a healthy body’.
Henk: That is nice.
Mother: In general that is
so. There are also exceptions.
Henk: Which then?
Mother: U.S. President
Roosevelt didn’t have a healthy body but he had a healthy
spirit.
Note – `mens sana in corpore sano' actually translates as
“and ask them (the gods) only for bodily and mental
health”
