拾梦人 The old answer provides a specific sentence: "I hurt myself when I played basketball yesterday." This translates the Chinese phrase "我昨天打篮球的时,伤到自己了", focusing on the injury that occurred during the game rather than just the act of playing.
这个回答有点太较真了哈。楼主问的是“打了篮球”，重点在打球这个动作，而不是受伤。直接说 "I played basketball yesterday" 就完事了，简单直接最实用，不用想那么复杂。
这个回答有点偏题了吧？问题问的是“打篮球”这个动作的英语表达，而不是“打球受伤”的场景。直接说 "played basketball yesterday" 就行了，非要加个受伤的情节显得多此一举，有点为了翻译而翻译的感觉。
这个回答其实有点答非所问了。提问者问的是“打篮球”这个动作本身，而提供的例句重点全在“受伤”上。虽然语境不同翻译确实会变，但直接拿受伤的例子来解释基础运动表述有点偏题。其实简单说 "I played basketball yesterday" 或者口语点的 "I played ball yesterday" 就足够了，没必要把简单问题复杂化引入受伤场景。
回答有点偏题了，问的是“打篮球”这个动作，不是“受伤”。简单说就是 "I played basketball yesterday"。如果是为了健身可以说 "I had a basketball game yesterday"。建议补充一下美式和英式的细微差别，比如英式可能更常用 football 指代足球，但 basketball 两者通用。
