英語播客初級版 第222期(外教講解):去沙灘

A: Oh, George, what a beautiful day it is today! The sun is hot and there are just a few clouds scattered here and there! What a perfect day to be at the beach! The kids are going to have so much fun! And we’ll be able to relax in the sun while they’re playing.
B: It does seem like the perfect day! I’m glad we chose to get out of the city and enjoy the nice weather! This looks like the perfect spot! Ok kids, put on your sunscreen while your mom and I set up camp. Here, Mary, help me lay down these beach towels.
A: There we go. Can you help me with the umbrella? Perfect.
B: Ok kids, here’sa beach ball and a Frisbee, a pail and a shovel. I want to see an impressive sandcastle by the time we leave. Don’t stray too far. Wait! Leave your sandals here or put on your wet shoes.
A: And stay in the shallow area. I don’t want to see you go any farther than that sandbar! It’s too deep out there and we didn’t bring your floaties.
B: You’re back already? The water was too cold, huh? I’ll tell you a secret. Do you see that small pool of water over there? It’ll be warmer in there. Go see if you can find some seashells or catch some minnows.
A: What is that? A jellyfish? Jeremy, put that down right now! It could sting you!
B: Ah! Not on me! Ow!

A: 喬治，多好的天啊!陽光充足，只有些散落的云。這是去海灘的好日子。孩子們會(huì)有很多樂趣。當(dāng)他們玩時(shí)，我們也能曬下陽光放松下。
B: 看上去確實(shí)是個(gè)晴天。我很高興我們選擇住在城外并能享受到好天氣。這兒看上去是個(gè)完美的地方。孩子們，涂些防曬油，你們的媽媽和我搭建帳篷?，旣悾^來，幫我將這些海灘手巾放好。
A: 我們走了，你能幫我弄下太陽傘嗎?太好了。
B: 孩子們，這有沙灘球和飛盤，提桶和鏟子。當(dāng)我們離開時(shí)，我想看到一個(gè)令人印象深刻的沙堡。不要走得太遠(yuǎn)。等下，將你們的涼鞋留在這兒，床上你們的濕鞋。
A: 呆在水淺出，你們最遠(yuǎn)不要超過那個(gè)沙洲。那里太深了，而且我們沒將你們的救生圈帶來。
B: 你們已經(jīng)回來了?水太涼了?我會(huì)告訴你們一個(gè)秘密。你看見那邊的小水塘了嗎?那兒會(huì)暖和些。去看看你們能否找到海貝或捉到一些小魚。
A: 那是什么?海蜇?Jeremy,快把它放下，它可能蜇你。
B: 別放在我身上。啊!
