I think they've got all the raw energy there. It is a contact sport and we are proud of that fact – it's one of main the selling points – and the picture just screams that out really.

Rob: Andy plays for the GB wheelchair rugby squad and he was photographed with his team-mate Mandip Sammi. He said the photographs show raw energy.

Helen: 展示出原始的能量 raw energy. Andy 是橄榄球运动员，但是他们参赛时都坐轮椅。 轮椅 wheelchair.

Rob: Even though the players are in wheelchairs, the game is still very much a contact sport and it's very intense.

Helen: 接触性运动 a contact sport. 很紧张剧烈 very intense.

Rob: Andy said that the pictures reflect the intensity of rugby and he used the phrase 'to scream out'. It means to be very obvious, immediately understood.

Helen: It's a great phrase. Scream 的原意是大叫，尖叫， 不过在这个短语里，意思是最明显的，突出的，something screams out at you. 我们再听一遍 Andy 的感想。

The stadium's about a mile from where I live and I was very proud of East London, very proud of London. London has given me extraordinary opportunities in my life, really, quite extraordinary really.
