美语咖啡屋 Lesson 32: Marty's Favorite Bonfire
J: Hello I'm Jody! Welcome to American Cafe!
Y: 我是杨晨。欢迎到美语咖啡屋!
J: And here we are in the great outdoors for yet another episode of American Cafe. (Deep inhale) Ah! Just smell that fresh clean air! Isn't this great, Yang Chen!!
Y: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 你说的没错。一起都很好。 (Slap) 又一个蚊子。
J: Good. I'm glad you're having fun too. I'm having a ball! I just love camping. Mmm, feel that campfire.
Y: 我就不明白。你为什么怎么喜欢到野外来呢?
J: Because you feel free. Look around. There's nothing but nature. No cars, no traffic, no people bothering you.
Y: 算了,算了。我不跟你说了。那我们下面该干什么?
J: Well, we already built a fire. That was really fun! And we cooked a little dinner. Hot dogs and baked beans, mmm ... a real traditional campfire dinner.
Y: 我肚子倒是饿了,不过你看热狗也烤糊了, baked beans又是冷的。凑合地吃吧。
J: Well, here - have some nuts.
Y: Mmm, 有花生,还有开心果。 Mmm, 这还不错。
J: Mmm ... 不错。 Now, one thing to do when you're camping for fun is to tell stories around the campfire. Let's invite our friend Marty to share a story of his favorite bonfire during a trip he took to Canada.
实录1: Marty: Well, we went up ... we went up to Canada and we went to this humongous national park. It's on this lakes (The Great Lakes) So you canoe, you canoe between the lakes.
Y: 他刚才说的canoe就是独木舟的意思。Humongous这个词很有意思。我想 humongous是巨大的意思把。
J: Exactly. Humongous. H-U-M-O-N-G-O-U-S. Marty uses it quite a lot.
实录2: Marty: And when you're out three days the only way to get back in is to canoe three days back in or get a helicopter, obviously a helicopter could pick you up. But otherwise there's no walking out. It's all ... it's all water and everything. There's no, you know, driving or anything like that. The only way out is to canoe yourself outta (out of) there.
Y: 哇整整三天都在划独木舟啊?
