2、歡迎來到度假村!我就跟你們講講我們的一些設(shè)施。我們有一個非常棒的小池塘，歡迎客人們到那兒小坐和野餐。
You'll see it as you come in the entrance. In the middle of the resort, you'll see a circular courtyard, it has some lovely cool places to sit as well.
你們從入口進(jìn)來時就會看見。在度假村中心，你會看見一個圓形的庭院，里面也有好些陰涼的地方給客人小坐。

你們能看見那兒就是我們著名的無花果樹，非常巨大!在庭院右邊，你們會找到一家小商店，在那兒你們能買些明信片和郵票。店鋪就在樹后。
3. A: Hello, Professor Jones, would you be able to help me with my assignment?
3、A：瓊斯教授你好，關(guān)于我的作業(yè)，你能幫我一下嗎?
B: Of course. Are you having problems with choosing a good location for the new bridge?
B：當(dāng)然。你在為新橋選址上有問題嗎?
A: Yes. I was thinking of putting it right in the middle as the river is at its narrowest there. B: Well, that would save costs.
A：對。我在想把橋選在河中間，因?yàn)槟莾菏亲钫?。B：這能節(jié)約成本。
A: Exactly, but I realised that it would create costs in other areas as it would mean some important buildings being knocked down. So I think it would be better if it's at the eastern end of the motorway.
A：沒錯，但我發(fā)現(xiàn)在其它地方又增加了成本，因?yàn)檫@意味著一些重要的建筑會被拆除。所以我認(rèn)為，在高速公路的東路口會更合適。
B: That's a good idea, it would be a lot more useful than if it was at the western end.
B：這個主意不錯，但在西路口會更有用。
4. The Traviston Frog is different to many other species of frog.
4、查維斯頓蛙和很多其它種類的青蛙不同。
It is very small and so, unlike other species, it is unable to live in the area of a pond, though it does need to live in fairly close proximity to water so that it can feed.
它體積非常小，所以，和其它青蛙不同，它不能生活在池塘中，但它必須生活在近水區(qū)域以覓食。
Rather than choosing the safety of a tree, which would be too tall and may actually increase the threat from predators, it elects to live in a tiny burrow surrounded by bushes.
這種青蛙沒有選擇安全的大樹，對它們來說樹太高了，可能實(shí)際上還增加了遇到天地的威脅，它選擇住在周圍有灌木的洞穴里。
