Hi, Carol. Wow, what are those?
你好,卡萝尔。喔,那些是什么?
Hello, Alex. Oh, these are some of the interesting inventions that I'm writing about for my English homework.
你好,亚历克斯。哦,这些是英语家庭作业里我要写到的一些有趣的发明。
I see…What's that, then?
我明白了。那个是什么?
They're shoes with lights. You use them for seeing in the dark when you get up at night.
它们是带灯的鞋子。你在夜里起身的时候可以用它们照明。
Oh, that's a cool idea! I always hit my toe on something on the way to the bathroom at night.
哦,这个主意很酷啊!我晚上去厕所的时候老是撞倒脚趾。
Next is a special ice-cream scoop. This is my favorite invention. It runs on electricity and becomes hot.
下一个是特别的冰淇淋勺子。这是我最喜欢的发明。它是电动的会发热。
I know what it’s for! It's used for serving really cold ice-cream.
我知道这是干嘛的!这是用来吃超冷冰淇淋的。
Yes, that's right! The last invention I’m going to write about is shoes with special heels. You can move the heels up and down.
是的,没错!我要写的最后一个发明是带有特殊高跟的鞋子。鞋跟可以上下移动。
What are they used for?
它们是用来干嘛的?
Well, you can change the style of your shoes. You can raise the heels if you are going to a party or lower them if you are just going out for shopping.
你可以变化鞋子的风格。如果你要去参加聚会,就可以增高鞋跟;如果你要去购物,就放下鞋跟。
