The First Gliding Lesson
1--What was your first gliding lesson like?
2--It was very interesting.
1--How did you start?
2--Well, the instructor showed me the controls.
1--What happened next?
2--The instructor showed me how to use them. Then
we went for a short flight.
1--Were you nervous when you took over the
controls for the first time?
2--Yes, very. My hands were trembling.
1--Did you have any moments of panic?
2--Yes, when the glider was rushing towards the
ground and I suddenly forgot what to do.
1--That must have been frightening.
===================================
注解:
1)glide:滑翔。glider:滑翔機
2)show me the controls:show作“告知”或(通過示范)
“教”解。controls(多用復數(shù)):操縱裝置。
3)take over the controls:take over作“接過來”解。
這里指學員從教練手中接過操縱器,自行駕駛。
4)moments of panic:感到驚慌、恐懼的時刻。
===================================
譯文:
1--你第一節(jié)滑翔課上得怎么樣啊?
2--非常有意思。
1--你是怎么開始的?
2--哦,教員告訴我哪些是操縱器。
1--然后呢?
2--教員給我示范如何使用這些操縱器。接著我們就飛了
一小段距離。
1--當你第一次進行操縱的時候,你緊張不緊張?
2--非常緊張。我的雙手都哆嗦了。
1--你有感到驚慌失措的時候嗎?
2--有。當滑翔機朝地面俯沖去的時候,我簡直不知所措了。
1--那一定讓人膽戰(zhàn)心驚。
