實戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：Bears and Beasts 熊和野獸

Todd: So, Asako we're talking about Alaska. Now, in Alaska, obviously there's lots of wilderness. Some people say it's the most wild area left in the wolrd. Did you get a chance to go camping or hiking?

托德：麻子，我們來聊聊阿拉斯加州。阿拉斯加有很多原野。有人說阿拉斯加是世界上最原始的地區(qū)。你有去露營或是徒步旅行嗎?

Asako: Oh, yeah. Camping almost every single weekend. That's a joke, but... Yeah, many times. I camped and of course people enjoy hiking, rock climbing. If you're not really an outdoor type, you can enjoy barbecuing, but yeah, some people do enjoy outdoor.

麻子：有。我基本上每周末都會去露營。開玩笑的，我去過很多次。我去過露營，人們喜歡徒步旅行和攀巖。如果你不喜歡室外運動，那也可以享受燒烤，不過有人非常喜歡室外活動。

Todd: Well, you know, Alaska is really famous for bears, so when you would go hiking or camping would ever see any bears?

托德：阿拉斯加的熊非常有名，你去遠(yuǎn)足和露營時有看到過熊嗎?

Asako: Of course.

麻子：當(dāng)然看見過。

Todd: Seriously?

托德：真的嗎?

Asako: Yeah. Of course. Wolves. Bears. You can name it.

麻子：對，我看到過狼和熊。你能說出名字的基本都有。

Todd: Bears. Wolves.

托德：熊和狼。

Asako: Yeah.

麻子：對。

Todd: And people still go out there?

托德：那人們還是會到那些地方去?

Asako: Of course.

麻子：對啊。

Todd: Yeah, but aren't you afraid of the bears?

托德：那你們不怕熊嗎?

Asako: Well, you have to know what you are supposed to do, but yeah.

麻子：你要清楚自己要怎么做。

Todd: Well, what do you do?

托德：那你會怎么做?

Asako: Well, you have to be careful about what you would do with your food. You know. You don't put your leftovers anywhere you like. You have to be really careful with that, and also you have to know how you are supposed to act when you actually meet a bear when you are hiking, but if you have the right knowledge, you should be OK. Of course, still there are accidents but you should be OK.

麻子：處理食物的時候要小心。不能把剩菜隨便亂放。在這方面一定要非常小心，另外，你還要清楚在遠(yuǎn)足時遇到熊要怎么做，如果有正確的知識，那就不會有危險。當(dāng)然是有事故發(fā)生，不過一般沒什么危險。

Todd: Wow! So what do you they tell you to do if you see a bear?

托德：哇!那如果看到熊要怎么辦?

Asako: Well, you're supposed to wave your hands.

麻子：嗯，要揮手。

Todd: Wave your hands. Up high?

托德：揮手，在空中揮手?

Asako: Up high.

麻子：在空中揮手。

Todd: So you seem taller?

托德：這樣讓你看起來更高嗎?

Asako: You seem taller and also bears have never seen animals doing stuff like that, so they get scared and leave. That's usually but when bears are really hungry, then you still, yeah, so there are bears that are really hungry and maybe look crazy, so you're still taking a chance, but.

麻子：是看起來更高，而且熊從來沒看到過動物這么做，所以它們會感到害怕，然后離開。一般情況下可以這么做，但是在熊非常饑餓的情況下，它們會變得非常瘋狂，不過你也可以這么做去碰碰運氣。

Todd: Well, what about a wolf? Or wolves? Do you do the same thing for wolves?

托德：那遇到狼或狼群呢?也像遇到熊那樣做嗎?

Asako: Well, actually, the only wolves I've seen was in the Denali Park. I was in a car, so I didn't have any problems, so I really don't know what I am supposed to do when I meet wolves.

麻子：我只在丹那利國家公園看到過一次狼。當(dāng)時我在車?yán)?，所以沒發(fā)生什么事，不過我真的不知道要是遇到狼群應(yīng)該怎么辦。

Todd: Now for the local people, what do they consider more dangerous, a wolf or a bear?

托德：那對當(dāng)?shù)厝藖碚f，熊和狼哪個更危險?

Asako: You don't see many wolves, but you do see a lot of bears so maybe bears.

麻子：一般不會看到太多狼，但是會看到很多熊，所以可能是熊更危險。

Todd: Oh, yeah. Well, they both sound scary to me.

托德：好，對我來說狼和熊都很可怕。
